You know what. I do. I have been wanting to read sisters red. I'm gonna have to really look at the categories and rules.

this one? I've been eyeing it but idk if my library has it :/

Yes!!! And thank u so much for the threads :)

Cinthia wrote: "Yes!!! And thank u so much for the threads :)"

You're welcome.

I'm finding it a bit hard to find books to read for this :/ i want to max out a bit on BRs but most of what is on there, i already read and/or already read some of the series.

Think i'll have to stick to reading ARCs and 2016 releases for the most part.

Hi!! Checking in :) I plan to read Everything Everything, Milk & Honey, and some other unplanned books in Jan

I'd be happy to read milk and honey with u on the 3rd if u can.

Wait is there already a BR for that?

Checking in guys! Excited to be doing this with you all! Next month I'm hoping to read the Six of Crows duology next month for sure, but I'm not sure what else.

Hey everyone :) ill updated the first comment when i get to work! glad everyone is checking in early :)

Cinthia wrote: "How bout milk and honey?"

Milk & Honey is fine, I can do the 3rd :D

Cool :)

Just in case anyone was curious and didn't know, all the scheduled Jan BRs are listed here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Hey friends, do non-YA books count? Because I often read NA or Adult as well.

Yes they all count :) I have a lot of non-fiction to read this month too

Hey, Enqi. Just to let you know that you can link to the edition of the book with the largest page number regardless of this is the edition you have read. I just noticed your last book was linked to a book with 160 pages when there is a 300+ page edition :)

Just a heads up :D

Hey guys. Just wanted to let you know I'm still here. I'm trying to catch up with my BRs. I won't be able to update as often as I'd like cuz my laptop is on the fritz so I'll try to update on the review thread at least once s week. I'm 2 books down and hopefully finish the 3rd one today. I'm wayyyy behind on 2 of my BRs. ;(

It's okay Cinthia, i haven't finished anything yet...

No worries, guys :) It's still only week one. I'm so behind on BRs, too. I signed myself up for so many!

I finished a dang book! YES. I spent one of my days off catching up on my To Do list, conquered most it. Then spent the other day cleaning and playing with the kid. So today is reading day! I hope to finish at least 4 books today, then Sunday night at work, i will post my reviews! Sorry for being a weak link

Oh my gosh, you're not a weal link at all, Brooke!! Life has to come before reading!

And four books in one day?? Dang girl, you can read!

What Dannii said!! :)

Reviews added. Only finished 3 of the 4 i wanted to finish yesterday. Got about 70% done of book 4. Hoping to finish it before bed in the morning.

*Edit: i finished the 4th book at work, and added that review too, think i just doubled our score :D

Woahhhh, we may have just boosted ourselves to first place (fingers crossed!) I have two books to add and another two which should be (hopefully!) completed by tonight

I'm so sorry guys for being so slow! School is getting the best of me right now because I'm starting my harder classes. Trying to read as much as possible!

Will add my 5 books today. Sorry I've been so bad.

Finally updated... that should give us at least 24 more points ;)... Now I gotta catch up with some of my BR's I've been so bad... I was gone from this group for about 3 months and I guess I haven't really kept up with my reading...

Aww bless, no worries guys :) We all have times like that. Hope school eases for you, Breanna!

Awh thank you. Happy readings!

How's everyone's reading coming along? Half way done with the month :)

I felt like I had such a good first week and this week has been awful. My laptop has broken, my phone has broken (although it seems to be working now) and my car insurance came out all on the same day. So I am feeling very poor, technologyless and sorry for myself. So not a whole lot of reading has been done but I'll be getting a laptop next week and I'll catch up with updating everything then. Sorry guys!!!

i feel you, i just got paid last friday, and monday they told me i needed to get about a grand worth of work done to my car.... :/

hey friends, college has started for me and it's my first year and i'm feeling really disorientated and stressed out over what subject combination to pick and co-curricular activity to join, i've been trying to read as much as possible but work is piling up and i don't even have time to sit down and compose a caption for my bookstagram!! i'm really trying my best. thanks for bearing with me guys! <3

Oh my gosh! Life has hit us all hard this month!! No stress, these challenges are only meant to be for fun anyway :)

Oh my, I'm almost done with the first book of this month. Sad to say I didn't start this year with a banger. Hope everyone else has a better ending to the month. We all need it!

We got 4 more points guys!

Breanna wrote: "We got 4 more points guys!"

There was a 700pg edition, i added it to the review thread, and did you do the buddy read for it?? I see you commented a few times on it but you didnt include the link on the review thread, that'll be double points if you did!

I haven't been at my best this year either. I have only read 3 books in 2 weeks ;( I'm hoping I can at least read the 12 that a serious group is supposed to read. I have 9 done so far so 3 more.

Enqi, I also noticed you didn't get the points for your last book read. I think Sarah asked for a few more sentences in your review, if you have time, and then she will add the points on :)
