Rebecca (longy207) | 1581 comments I'm going to ask a stupid question but what was the brief for this reading challenge again?


message 7: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Also, am I the only one slightly worried that we're the only team of 5 against 4 teams of 6 each? xD

I'll keep that as it for the minute and adjust it when I get through some of these :) Is that Okay?


message 21: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments I don't think there's necessarily a reason to get them all covered I think. Because we're able to use the descriptions as many times as we want, and Sarah didn't say anything about a bonus is all 100 are used


message 22: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments But that sounds all okay! :)


message 23: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (longy207) | 1581 comments I'll do as much as I can and I don't think we've got to cover all the categories :)


message 24: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Hey guys! Everyone ready for tomorrow and the start of the challenge? :)

Sibil | 2361 comments For me too, as I'm in Italy :) And I've just started a book for a buddy read :) Happy reading to everyone! :)


message 27: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (longy207) | 1581 comments I will be posting my first review soon as I've finished Touch of Frost (Mythos Academy, #1) by Jennifer Estep . I had to get up super early for an interview and I've read it before so it was just a quick refresh for me before I continue with the series

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Yay! Great to hear! My school ends today, so I should be having a lot more reading time! My goal was 40+ books this month, or to atleast pass my record of 32, so I've got some catching up to do!


message 40: by prag ♻ (new)

prag ♻ (janayanation) Wow, that's a lot. I'm on holiday atm but have tons of homework anyway:( I'm aiming for around 20 this month, that's pretty much what I have time to read each month.


message 41: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (longy207) | 1581 comments I'm reading but also got work to do so it's going to be a slightly slower process this month
