Hey everyone!(please don't leave me talking to myself LOL)
I signed up as a solo player this month because I want to read within the challenge, without being accountable for it within a team, if that makes any sense. I've loved all my teams, but I needed a break from team madness. I'm crazy enough on my own these days LOL
I don't think I've ever done a fun team. I've done serious every month, with exception of one month when I played with a medium team.
In my worst month this year so far, I read 15 books, so that might be a tad too much for fun teams
I read fast, but my TBR isn't getting any smaller lol
To be honest, that is an uphill battle LOL I don't think I'll ever be able to tame my TBR.
That's a promise I've made and broken countless times LOL
Hopefully i can read some books because we are probably going on vacation during the summer to California. I am also extremely excited cant wait :) But i have to fix my camera :( Hopefully i can do it before we leave. I am hoping to read only road trip books to get me in the mood while we travel to California in a car :D.
Well i live in Texas. :3 I am not exactly sure but i think my dad said like one day. I am not sure XD.
Hey are u guys going anywhere for the summer?
Well, it's not summer for me LOLWe're finally (finally!) getting some winter here!
Are u excited. I love the snow but it doesn't snow very much in Texas. I like winter its perfect for reading indoors with a cup of tea or coffee. Yummy.
The sad thing is, I don't get snow where I live.In fact, my 'winter' wouldn't qualify as winter in Europe or the US (I live in Brazil, so getting 10°C means everyone is dressed like the world is ending)
Well atleast try to enjoy the winter with some good books :D
I'm going to Greece for a week and maybe Prague but that's me staying at home other than that :)
Omg! Me too. I hate when their lifting off to the sky. I kinda get adrenaline when we are lifting off but then again i cant seem to get enough air for my lungs to be satisfied because of the pressure of lifting off. Then we we stop going up and the plane levels its self i feel queasy. :3
Omg im sorry i didnt mean to scare you its just how i felt about the experience. Im so sorry :(
Yes i am. i think its through May, June, July, and a little bit of August.
Hey everyone! I haven't been part of a challenge all year.... which killed me because I love doing these sorts of thing, but ugh, it's my last year of school and schoolwork is crazy. I thought partipcating solo in such an open challenge would fin though. I don't think I'll get through that much though so hence the solo bit.
Hi everyone, I like that so many of us are going solo next month. Hopefully we can all have a bit of interaction in here throughout the month and have all the fun of the chat with none of the pressure to read. I'm such an inconsistent reader, I find it so tricky to pick which type of team to go for. Last month I joined fun and could have read enough books for a medium team, but lost my motivation because fun just didn't give me enough of a kick. This month I went for serious and have really picked my reading game up when I have the time, the problem is work has been getting in the way of that. I will still have read plenty enough books for serious by the end of the month, although nothing compared to some of the bigger readers. I feel like a slacker even though I will have read around 15 to 20 books by the end of the month. Meanwhile I haven't had the most chatty of teams this month. I enjoy a bit of chatter, so I hope some of you are up for it next month.
Hi!! I love chatting away, so I'll definitely be here during the challenge!
The solo chat is going to be the busiest on the boards for June. :)
Hi all. Glad there'll be a chance to chat on here-that definitely keeps me motivated!
Sounds good! I'm going to need all the motivation I can get though. I know what you though, Kirsty. Even having a 'slacker' month still means I read 15/20 so it isn't like I could join a fun team...
I'm jealous of your reading then Rachel. I am just too slow a reader/busy person I think. Me trying hard is 15-20 books a month. Most months this year I've read a small handful, my reading has been terrible this year. May definitely changed that and I'm back on a roll, but that's with me trying hard haha.
Oh, oops! Sorry for the mix-up. I'm sorry to hear you're having a bad reading year. 2014 was a nightmarish year for me, and this year (reading-wise) is the best year has been surprisingly good for me. Hopefully, you'll stay on a roll...? *fingers crossed*
So, basically, we begin reading June 1 onwards. Gosh. I am excited :D

I am hoping to have a better reading year than last year, which was my best yet at 102 books read. I feel like taking part in these challenges really help motivate me, especially if I have people to chat to.
Yes Ritika, I'm excited too. If I didn't have a bunch of ARCs to get through I honestly think I would just work my way down the list because I own lots of the books but have barely read any of them.
Ahh! For me it's tomorrow, and I'm so keen. I've been putting off reading anything new for the last two days really because I'm saving up.
One more day! Omg i cant wait to start out with a contemporary and then continue on from their. :D
Hey do you guys know for the june 2016
Lol sorry um do u guys know if we have to read the list of 2016 in order.
I'll be starting it in 15 hours. I could actually start it in 9 hours, but I have to sleep LOL
Lol sorry do u guys know if we have to read the 2016 june list in order that they put the list.
Oh no, we don't. This is a pretty loose challenge: there is no order to read things, and we can do the same description more than once. Also, with a 100 different descriptions, if you read something that doesn't fit any of them, you should get a prize LOL
Is tomorrow already the 1st of June. Wow times flies fast! Also, don't know how well I'm going to do at this challenge.
I'm going to start with Soldier (Julie Kagawa) and then read The Mirror King (Jodi Meadows). I have it all planned out! I'm not usually a TBR sort of person... but this month I think it's a good idea.
Hi everyone! I'm so glad June is in a few hours, I've been itching to read some of the books I picked out for the list. I have a couple in mind to start tomorrow. They should be fairly quick reads since I'm thinking I might be a bit busy.I've gone solo since I didn't want to restrict myself to a certain number. I'm fairly new and have got one team challenge under my belt so far. I was on the medium team but I actually read more than I planned. I didn't want to commit to the serious team this time around and not be able to meet that quota so I'm quite glad solo was a choice.
Happy reading to everyone!
I won't be starting for another day or two. I've got several books left over from May that I need to finish. I had hoped to get them done over the last couple of days but I was stuck at work all bank holiday. The only book I will be starting first thing tomorrow is my new audiobook which will be The Luminaries, which I'd wanted to do in May really as it's over 800 pages. It's a good job I'm going solo for June because I'd be a massive hinderance to any team with a late start and a long book, haha.
hello friends, I was wondering, can anyone send me a link of a list of all the books that have won the Newsburry Medal?
