Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments So have you read any so far?


message 8: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments And what are they?


message 9: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments Was Hush, Hush good? And I'm halfway through City of Bones.


message 10: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments Yes. I own Hush Hush but haven't read it. And does the Infernal Devices series move on from The Mortal Instruments?


message 11: by Summer (new)

Summer Lane (writingbelle) | 49 comments Whoa. Good luck!! I barely have time for 150!


message 12: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments Exactly. Just not that high... Lolz. And all right. Still think I'll read The City of Bones first.

message 15: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments Cool thanks.


message 16: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments I will!


message 17: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments Haha.


message 18: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments I can never be bothered to format blog.


message 19: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments Haha all right.


message 20: by Buddy (new)

Buddy | 42 comments Martha, you better stop posting here, and start reading ;) I envy you! I wish I had the time to read 500 books a year!

Here are a couple of good reads, that read very fast!

- Savage Season (something different than you're use to)
- Legend

Shoot me a msg later in the year, and I'll have some more books for you.


message 21: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments Awesome. You sound helpful. Lolz.


message 22: by Alexandria (new)

Alexandria (alexandriatheo) | 51 comments Wow! Good luck girl!!
I saw you were talking about the TMI series and TID series. Clare said it doesn't matter what order you read them in. She is coming out with a book in both series at alternating times, she said you can even read them as they come out - which is what I'm doing!


message 23: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments Haha awesome.


message 24: by Kana (new)

Kana Wow, I'm impressed Martha! Good luck! I bet you have a bunch on your to-read list, but I just finished Divergent by Veronica Roth, which was a quick read that I really enjoyed.


message 25: by Lily (new)

Lily | 180 comments How will you ever find the time!! Good luck with your challenge, it will be awesome if you can make it!

I just came across the only science fiction series I have ever enjoyed, and when I saw your thread, eh why not.

Look up Orson Scott Card. Ender series. I believe that Ender's game is the first. Give it a try if you haven't read it already.


message 26: by Lily (new)

Lily | 180 comments That's like... 41/42 books a month. LOL holy cow


message 27: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra (cassmarie) | 32 comments Wow.. that's quite a goal.. good luck with that. That's more than a book a day. Throw a bunch of novellas in there and it should be somewhat simple as long as you can do 1 a day!!! My goal is 150 and I might surpass that *fingers crossed*


message 28: by Kat (new)

Kat Herondale (katshadowhunting) | 10 comments crescendo and silence which are the sequels of hush hush are soo good and the mortal instruments are my fav books on earth,although clockwork prince beats them all ;)
woowww...60 books.. im behind xD il add a hundred each yr and il catch up ;)
gl!! your reading amazing books <3


message 29: by Lily (new)

Lily | 180 comments Congrats on your 60!
That's nuts! lol


message 30: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) Sorry, but you're insane xD Best of luck! I will step by your blog now


message 31: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments I loved Legend by Marie Lu . It is a definite must read!


message 32: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments I hate not being in the popular countries! :( And it's amazing truly!


message 33: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments I don't think my mum's letting me get any more books because I haven't read 3/4 of the ones I own. XD.


message 34: by Ina (new)

Ina (imperfectionist) | 3 comments I'm trying to read 100 books this year!


message 35: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) How did you like Nightshade?


message 36: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments I'm from New Zealand. The tiny country under Australia.

And out of those ones I've read City of Bones, Glass Houses and The Hunger Games. How'd you like them?

I really want to read Forsaken, Matches, City of Ashes, Halo, Paranormalcy and Nightshade.


message 37: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) @Martha - Oh, I already read it and almost hated it haha :) I'm just curious...


message 38: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) Yeah well I rated it two stars :-)


message 39: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) Oh okay :-) I see you also read Under the never sky and Divergent. I want to read those so bad.

Tawna | 479 comments Holy crap woman!! Good luck with your goal, and I thought I read a lot! Checking out ur blog now :)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments What are they about? And sorry, but I have to go now for about half an hour. I will be back later though. =D

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments Thanks. And sorry. That was slightly longer than half an hour.


message 45: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments Thanks for friending me! Just wondering, how old are you? I'm 14.


message 46: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments What are you talking about? You're not old!!! I know a 60 year old who uses this site! :D And you think I'm happy? Thankies! *Huggles*

Just saying, I gtgt school in 15 mins, and I won't be back for 4-5 days because I'm going camping.


message 47: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 549 comments I shall! What books are you planning on reading next? If you're stuck I would like to recommend some. Some of them you may find weird, and some of then young, but you never know until you try, right? =D
