Sure, what date works for you? I don't have any major books planned for July and I will be less busy at work so anytime works for me :)

message 23: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 15991 comments Caitlin I finished Winter so I can do Stars Above in July.


message 24: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 15991 comments I am starting with Paper Hearts by Meg Wiviott and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter, #3) by J.K. Rowling ( Buddy read).


message 25: by grimple (new)

grimple ᵔᴥᵔ | 227 comments Do books you started before July 1st count?


message 26: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 15991 comments I believe they only count for pages.


message 27: by Carolyn (new)

Carolyn | 2247 comments Hey, guys. I'm currently reading The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner and The Water Is Wide by Pat Conroy, but I'm not going to count either one of the books for the challenge. I will begin reading The Passion of the Dolssa and The Other Wes Moore in the upcoming week. I'll keep you posted.


message 28: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 15991 comments Okay I just finished the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter, #3) by J.K. Rowling buddy read. So that will give us 12 points.

I am not sure what to read next though.


message 29: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 15991 comments I will be starting Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Harry Potter, #4) by J.K. Rowling and Red Queen (Red Queen, #1) by Victoria Aveyard next. Both are buddy reads so they will bring in quite a bit of points.


message 30: by grimple (new)

grimple ᵔᴥᵔ | 227 comments I'm currently reading The Selection (The Selection, #1) by Kiera Cass which is a buddy read, and also Crooked Kingdom (Six of Crows, #2) by Leigh Bardugo by myself


message 31: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 15991 comments How are you liking The Selection (The Selection, #1) by Kiera Cass ? I still have to read Happily Ever After (The Selection, #0.4, 0.5, 2.5, 2.6) by Kiera Cass

I will probably read some short ones in between that are on my kindle. I am trying to find buddy reads for them, but no body seems interested.


message 33: by grimple (new)

grimple ᵔᴥᵔ | 227 comments It's okay, the writing isn't the best. I think I would like it a lot more if the writing was similar to the Lunar Chronicles. Some of it's a little predictable, and I'm not a fan of love triangles, but it's still a fun read so far. I like Maxon and Marlee, and I also like America, but I think she can be too perfect sometimes.

What other books do you have on your kindle?

I really liked America in the first one, but after that she gets annoying. Yes it is very predictable. I loved Marlee throughout the whole series. I just finished Wintet so I am still on the hihh of the ending haha.

I will post the link to everything I have on kindle.


message 35: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 15991 comments Now that I looked at the list not many are over 100, but a few are.

Are you asking if it counts for this challange?


message 42: by Carolyn (new)

Carolyn | 2247 comments I know it counts for the challenge. I was saying that you guys don't pay attention to me.


message 43: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 15991 comments Well you have only posted twice, and I check this everyday. Sometimes I dont see the point of replying just to say okay. I am sorry you feel that way.


message 44: by Carolyn (new)

Carolyn | 2247 comments I'm 36% of the way done with The Wrong Side of Right. It's 390 pages. What buddy reads are you guys doing for this challenge? Maybe I can help?


message 45: by grimple (new)

grimple ᵔᴥᵔ | 227 comments https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I have all of my buddy reads for the month of July here; feel free to join any of them!


message 46: by Carolyn (new)

Carolyn | 2247 comments Okay. Thank you. I don't think I will be able to join any of them because I'm not able to access any of the books. I have to read from a stupid list. I can't stray from it or I'll get in trouble. Thank you, though.

message 48: by Carolyn (new)

Carolyn | 2247 comments Um... I have to read Stealing Snow by Danielle Paige. And If I Was Your Girl by I think the author is Margaret Russo. Life in a Fishbowl by I don't know who the author is

Thanks, guys, for being so supportive. I finished The Wrong Side of Right by Jenn Marie Thoms. I started the anthology Summer Days and Summer Nights.

grimple ᵔᴥᵔ | 227 comments https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Here's the buddy read for Red Queen, I spent all day finishing Shatter Me so I'll probably start this some time tomorrow
