Starting my first 2 books today as I'm probably a day ahead of most of you due to timelines Happy Reading team :)

Okay it's May 1st here now :D I am starting (well i really started it about 45mins ago) and will get to later today. :D Good luck everyone.

Just a heads up, i don't post a lot if at all on weekends (unless the challenge ends then and i need to catch up) so i mass post what i get done during the weekend on Mondays usually. :D

yes it still counts :)

i finished one, 520pgs ;)

I will be done at least one book tomorrow, possibly two, if I'm lucky then three. Two are buddy reads so we'll be able to get some more points.

I'm on to buddy reads now just had to get those 1st 2 out of the way. Now reading

i finished and = 958pgs :D

more than half way through and just started .

Good luck on your exams!!

Good luck with exams Victoria we will still be hear when its all over ;)

finished Goldfinch, 1200pgs done :) think im having a kid free weekend so i will be reading tons and posting reviews :) starting Outlander which i think is 1100 for the highest edition :D

I'm about a hoyr and a half away from finishing outlander. trying to knock out my longer audio books this weekend. will be writing reviews monday morning probably. my plans went wrong this weekend and lost reading time. hoping to finish a few more tomorrow. started a new workout regime this past week, takes about a hour each day and that cut into my reading too. but ill make up for it, dont worry :)

I have 2 reviews to post tomorrow. I meant to post today but I've been super busy.

I'm well into 2 large books i hope to Finnish in the next couple of days

No it does not look like she is going to join in :( We will have to ask for a new member.

That's 2 Katherines in a row that have gone AWOL :(

Hi! Sorry, guys. Something came up and I have not been able to get on goodreads. I'll drop out of this challenge.

Thats a pity :(

Aw :(

My BF surprised me last night and stayed over, so i failed at getting reviews in, but i will try to get to them tomorrow after i get off work. Having issues with Hoopla where i'm listening to The Raven King and it's making me very sad :(

Well i got 3 reviews done :D over 2k pgs from those, have 6 more reviews to do, if i get my work out done before 630 i'll try to write a few more :D

Got another review in before the up date :) still have and to finish before i start to get up to date

Are you making sure you are checking other editions for higher page counts?!

Victoria wrote: "I'm finally done with finals!!! My amount of reading and reviewing will pick up now. Thanks for being patient with me. :)"

Whoo :D

Work has consumed me this week, hopefully i can settle down Friday and Saturday and get in some good reading, as long as my son allows it :D usually i am on top of reading but this new workout stuff and where they have been putting me at work makes me so tired, i barely get into bed before passing out :(

Thats great Victoria as we seem to be at a bit of a disadvantage with only 4 members.
I will Finnish Goldfinch today :) the start on this weeks books I'm almost a week behind lol

I've finally finished another book! Sorry it took so long, I've been reading 2 huge books at the same time.

Oh let me know how it is once you're done! I'm excited to read it once I'm able to get my hands on a copy.

I hope its better than the first one ;)

Have you seen the cover released for Empire of Storms?

I like it but I like the other covers in the series a lot more. What about you?

Adding Quirks to your team ☺

Hey guys!

I only have five books done so far, which I'll be posting today. I had exams and, honestly, I'm surprised I got 5. I'll be picking up the pace now though.

Welcome!!

Welcome Quirks we are very pleased to have you join us :)

Thanks guys!

Oh and, I just wanted to clarify. This is Mystery, except with a different user name.

hahaha Mystery nice to be in a challenge with you again :)

Thanks to a slow night at work, i just dropped 4000 pages worth of reviews ;) and all but 1 was a buddy read :D boom!

Victoria wrote: "I think...I think I love you lol great job! :)"

:D i still have 2892pgs to write reviews for, hoping to get to them on Thursday, i asked for some vacation time then :D and i should finish a book today worth 1502pgs ;) i'm trying to catch up promise!

yah ive been zooming through some Patterson books, think ill keep reading them, feels like 300pgs but are high 400 low 500 :)

Wow, you guys are all killing it!

we jumped to 4th place :)

Well done girls. I'm sorry i have fallen a bit behind have had the flue for the past 5 days only just started to read again today :( but i have 5 books going at the moment

Seems that I'm slower than the rest of you! I'm having a slower month because I'm reading an anthology ARC which is super large and I usually get through ARCs every few days but I can't at the moment. I have some big buddy reads coming up that should hopefully make up for it though.
