Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments So I figured a strategy we could try is that we would each take 20 numbers and go through them until we found the gold star. :)

☆☆Hannah☆☆ | 6596 comments I only have 4 BR's planned this month.

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9858 comments I think I should have stuck to 4. Clearly going to fail at doing all of these :(


message 20: by Eesh (new)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7289 comments @Danii Same. Planning lots of BRs never ends up well. But I can't seem to be able to help myself.

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9858 comments Guys, just a heads up that I am going away for the weekend. I will hopefully still be reading but may not be able to check in until Monday :)

So should we do the assigned numbers or just randomly guess? :)


message 28: by Eesh (new)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7289 comments @Bookbuyer Random is good, I think. Also, I don't think your book will count, since the instructions say they have to be at least a 100 pages.

:(

I didn't notice that they went back to the old page limit. I'll delete it. Thanks for letting me know. :)


message 30: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments So I posted my first review. I thought it was another one that didn't count but I found one with over 100 pages so I was able to post it.

I'm working on a few books right now: Cry Wolf (Alpha & Omega, #1) by Patricia Briggs Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater Darkness of Light (Darkness, #1) by Stacey Marie Brown

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9858 comments We are currently top, woohoo!

Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9858 comments Sorry I haven't updated any books, in a while. My wifi broke :( at least I got a lot of reading done. Haha!
