Sorry Melissa. We were just joking around with Court of Thorns...but most of us are going to be reading it soon too. Just not for this challenge.

It's all good hun, like Sara said we most probably be reading this very soon so we can totally buddy read that book too when it comes out :D

[Sylvia]

Okay, for those of you who are going to read I've opened up a buddy read folder so we can discuss the book as we read. Here is the link…https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Tracy]

So...I went with Here's to Falling and I've finished. Just going to wait for you guts to read so I can discuss.

[Katy]

I'll be posting a review in a couple of minutes...just have to figure out what in the World to say!

[Justine]

So are these stories "based on true" or can we read like someone's memoir?

I've been dying to read this! I'm ordering my copy on Friday!

I got an advanced reader's copy of . It's really good so far!

[Savannah]

The book that I want to read this week isn't really based on a single true story. It tells more about all the crazy things the Romanov's did in their 300 year rule.

Does that count?

That's totally fine hun

[Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥]

Can I cheat on the next one and just read one off my to read list. I don't want to buy another book right now and I'm so depressed over having all of these netgalley books. I can't get to my own books or continue on my I did a buddy read on my new book I finished today because I just had to put my foot down or stroke out. I'm behind on reading any group books from the few I like which this is one. I'm depressed. They sent me all of these books at once from netgalley. I'm going to lay off them for awhile unless I just do one. They make you wait forever them they do a ton at once. I think I still have 7 or 8 to read. They are good but the stress of getting them read is too much!! I want to read with all the peeps I enjoy. All of you all are all I have, just a few of you that I talk to on here.

That's the very reason why I don't sign up to Netgalley. I'd rather enjoy reading then feel pressured to read and review books asap. It's also why I don't accept too many read 2 review's from authors. Too much pressure ruins the fun out of reading. I say lay off them for a while, read the books they sent you then get to reading something you want.
