Sorry I've been MIA - crazy crazy week. :-/ But I'm here and catching up now!!

I'd planned on reading Divergent before the movie comes out - so I'm good with that!!

Ok girls are we allowed to do re-reads? If so, I revisited two books over the weekend that will count for both #1 and #4 being complete. :)

I read a week ago which counts for #2. So that one is also done.

I also finished which has been on my to-read list forever so #5 is done as well. I think we are almost finished, YAY! When does everyone want to start Divergent for the buddy read? I'm ready at anytime.

I read it over the previous weekend to refresh myself before the movie. Which I LOVED!!!

Hi everyone - are you all busy reading?! :) Time to add our April shelves :)

Leaders I need the totals by the 5th please!

Yes! It's April first! Please make sure you have all your March books on your shelf. I will be posting them later today.

Okay....first theme if you want to take part. I was thinking April could be sequels. Try to finish those series you may have started but have to finished.

Sorry there was no theme for March it was super crazy with family and school.

How are we all doing with our reading? I'm going to start checking in way more.

Happy April fools day!

So I have posted my books from March! Please inform me when you have your shelf ready for me to look at so I can post them and then send them in.

Loni I was looking at your profile page...do you have a shelf for March? And did you read any in Feb?

Lindsey wrote: "So I have posted my books from March! Please inform me when you have your shelf ready for me to look at so I can post them and then send them in."

My March shelf is current. I have been keeping it updated with each new book read (minus any books that were under 100 pages.)

Mine is all set. And sorry for disappearing for a while guys, things got all crazy. =)

Love the idea of sequels for April!

Thanks! I will post what you read on page one under message 5 then we just have to wait for Loni.

@Amanda don't worry I also disappeared for some time. Life gets busy, we can't help it.

I think anyone who is a reader has series they need to finish! I know I have series I want to start but I have been putting it off because of the ones I want to finish first.

HI EVERYONE! Just a reminder please make sure all your books are YA if you don't know you can ask me or ask Jackie. Or ask me and I will ask her.

It's quiet in here girls! ;) How are you all doing??

Hey! Sorry I have been gone for this month. Life has thrown a lot at me. But it's starting to slow down. I'm trying to get my April count going.

How are you doing?

I feel like a bad leader but after this week I will be better.

Lindsey life *happens* - trust me, I am trying to get caught up here, there, and everywhere as well. ;) Let's let reading remain the one thing that doesn't stress us out! :)

And you are a GREAT leader - seriously, thank YOU!! xoxo

Thanks. I swear if I could not read I would be going crazy. Reading has saved me these past few weeks.

Hey Guys! WOW April is almost over. It went by fast!

I was thinking for a theme next month and was thinking either standalones or start a new series! What do you think?

April went by ridiculously fast! I didn't even get a chance to read that much! Oh well, I'll have more time in May. :)

I think either of those sound really good. How have ya'll been doing?

Did not get as much read as I wanted. I too will have more time in May.

GAH! How can it be April 30th already??!! Time to get up those May bookshelves!

Oh and I'm good with either theme as well Lindsey! :)

Yes April went by FAST!!!

Theme for May Standalone

Please try to have your April shelf complete so I can submit our books this weekend.

My April shelf is current! :)

My April shelf is all ready to go! And Standalones...awesome! Can't wait to get started. :)

Posted all our April books!!! How are we doing for MAY??

Lindsey wrote: "Posted all our April books!!! How are we doing for MAY??"

So far so good. I'm going to start rereading The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices series in anticipation for City of Heavenly Fire. Can't believe my favorite series is coming to an end!

That's what I'm doing! I am on Clockwork Princess right now! And I am also on City of Falling Angels!

I am officially starting City of Bones tomorrow! I have kind of been putting it off because I DON'T WANT TO SAY GOODBYE! I have dedicated so much of my time and energy to these characters. I feel like I know them personally and now their story is ending. * uncontrollably sobbing*

ME TOO! I'm starting Saturday because all my school work will be done.

You girls make me want to revisit the series - it's been a long time...and I don't think I ever did get to The Infernal Devices one!!!

You should. We all would be reading the same this month!

I just may - my daughter has read most of them, so all I would have to do is download them to my Kindle. ;)

May is starting off pretty crazy and my reading is taking a hit :-P - boo hiss. Just gotta get through the next couple weeks!!

I'm the same. I have several projects due between now and Monday along with finals. So once those are done I can read more. I plan on starting the first one Saturday!

I'm coaching Girls on the Run right now :) - we just had out Mock 5K this week and the actual event is coming up on the 18th. My son is also making his First Communion this weekend and we've had a busy week filled with church commitments as well as school and softball/baseball/t-ball activities - and I still have a house to get in order before company arrives. :-P

I think my Mother's Day present should be to lock myself in a room uninterrupted with my Kindle and a supply of iced tea. :)

That sounds like it would be a great gift. May is always so busy!
