Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Hey guys! So excited to be back!


message 5: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments And it's great to be on a team with you again, Melanie and Quirks!


message 6: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13891 comments Hey Meaghan! Did Allison not want to participate this month? (I'm used to you guys participating together :))


message 7: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments She's loaded up with starting college classes this month, so it's just me! It's my final high school year and I'm taking it easy, so tons of free time compared to her. I'll still be doing a few buddy reads with her though!

On the topic of buddy reads, anyone here planning on reading the Raven cycle series, Winner's curse series, or the Air Awakens series? Trying to clear my physical TBR, and I'm hyped to read those this month, and just trying to squeeze extra points out for a Br :) I'm also rereading ACOTAR and ACOMAF with Allison, and Empire of Storms too, if anyone wants to join those! There's no set dates yet, just hoping for beginning of month since I'm hyped for Empire of Storms

message 11: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Excited for this challenge to start! :)


message 12: by Eesh (new)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7289 comments Me too! But I'm even more excited for my first read of the month, A Torch Against the Night.


message 13: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments I've heard great things about that book! I definitely need to read it soon!


message 14: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13891 comments I'm ready to go! I have a couple buddy reads lined up and hope to be able to read a lot of review books. I'm glad that this month you get points by the pages, so I won't feel bad for reading full length novels, instead of novellas like I did a lot this month. :)


message 15: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments I agree Melanie! I'm planning on rereading and reading some pretty large books, so it's perfect for me too! I'll be getting like 12 points for my 600+ BRs instead of 4!

I also submitted my first book already! I had a day off today, so I was able to stay up late to start it, and then finished it this morning!

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13891 comments 21% done with my second book. It has a 500 page edition and is a buddy read :)

message 33: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13891 comments Has Abigail ever checked in?


message 34: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Nope ):


message 35: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13891 comments :/ I hope she checks in soon. I'm pretty sure Sarah PM'd her (at least, I thought I read that somewhere).


message 36: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Yea she did a couple times a think! I was hoping she would check in so adjusted points wouldn't have to happen, since that's so much work for Sarah and people always complain. But from my last calculations we were actually in first despite that!


message 37: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13891 comments Yeah, I hope it doesn't come to needing adjusted points (for any team).


message 38: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Guess we just have to hope and see!


message 39: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13891 comments I have a review to post, but it'll have to wait until I get on a computer. Right now, I'm just going to read some more and hopefully finish the nonfiction one I'm reading.


message 40: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments Awesome!! I hope to finish another 8 point book tonight, so we should definitely doing good tomorrow! :)


message 41: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13891 comments Wasn't able to get my nonfiction done yesterday, but I'm hopeful that I'll have it done before the scores get updated. I'm also 36% done with Cold Shot (BR) and partway through Mortal (Non-BR). And I want to get started on You Are Here (BR). :)

It's only the beginning of the month and I'm already behind on buddy reads (I blame exhaustion from mega month. Haha)


message 42: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments I definitely know that feel Melanie! I'm actually on top of my buddy reads for like the first time ever xD but then again I had a couple month break and was building up reading stamina basically
