Signing in. Hi all. It was nice to get back to a team in January - looking forward to chatting with you all.

Looking forward to it too, Karen! I love challenges where you have to fit everything into categories. It's fun trying to figure out what you can read.

I'm just trying to look through some of my ARCs and TBR pile. I'm setting up a shelf of what I'd like to try and read for the Feb challenge. If you want to buddy up for any, let me know.

I do the same thing where I plan out what I'm gonna read for the entire month so I'm never left wondering what my next book will be.

Checking in! Hi Abby!!

I'm checking in! We need to crush them, guys.

Aly, I'm pretty sure I've been on teams with you more than any other person in this group. lol

You know what they say. Love triumphs over all. ;)

Here are the books I'm reading that I need buddy reads for if any of you are interested.

I don't really know what my first book is.

Adding Iris to your team ☺

Hi Iris

Hey Iris

I'm trying to plan my first book.. still trying to finish stuff up for this month

Hi everyone :)
I'm trying to plan my books for this month, don't know what I'll read yet, but there's still a bit of time left :)

Hi Irish! I might start reading my book for the challenge a little later. I'm reading a book that I can't seem to get through.

I messed up with a NetGalley ARC-ended up with a 5 book series instead of one book (to review by 8th Feb). Not quite sure what I'll start with this month.

One day to go...looking forward to this one. Think I'll start with The Raven Boys tomorrow.

So what are the books we are suppose to be reading?

Carolyn wrote: "So what are the books we are suppose to be reading?"

I've listed the categories at the top of our thread for our convenience. The books have to fit any of those categories.

I 'started' the new Sarah Pinborough and have read 0 pages so far. It's got an average of 4.5 rating, so would it work for the Feb challenge?

I'm gonna read Essential Maps for the Lost. It will fit in the E category.

Yep!

Thought so...I've been desperate to read it, but once I start I think I'll find it hard to put down.

About halfway through Raven Boys-need a curl up and read day I think!

I'm pretty sure I did good at school today. More reading later. I read 92 pages at school today, so it's a good start.

I like to read multiple books at once. Currently have 2 on Kindle and one audiobook.
Written in My Own Heart's Blood: I'll be reading this on and off for the whole month.
Two Graves
Alice in Wonderland on audio. This will probably be the first I finish.

I read a little bit more this afternoon. Page 124.

I'm reading Vanishing Girls by Lauren Oliver... don't know how I feel about it, but I just read a bit over 100 pages

I found it odd, until you get to the end.

Well I posted my first review earlier today.

It may not have been the highest page count. I couldn't view all the other versions when I posted.

I'm so close to being done. I'm hoping I can post today.

What would Wink, Poppy, Midnight fall in for the category?

Carolyn wrote: "What would Wink, Poppy, Midnight fall in for the category?"

There are some flowers on the cover.

Karen. You are on fire reading all those books!

I'm trying to put off doing the things I ought to be doing!

Haha...

Making my way through another book. Should be done tonight. Going to the movies now. Haven't gone in awhile.

You guys are making me feel slow. I've been running childcare for an event all weekend, so I'm a bit behind, but will be free from that come Monday until 2 weeks from now when I have to do it all again.

I'm slowly trying to get through yet another book. This one might take me awhile.

Posting another review tomorrow

I'm trying to focus on a few BRs-see if we can max points.

Posting a review tomorrow!!!!!

I feel bad that I haven't posted a review in awhile.

Carolyn wrote: "I feel bad that I haven't posted a review in awhile."

We still have 3 weeks! No worries. :)

I reviewed another book today!

We're killing it, ladies!

I'll do my best to keep getting them in at the same pace.

Excellent effort all...I still have a week until holiday (hoping for some catch-up reading then)
