T.J. Burns | 2698 comments Hi Team!

I've been traveling and haven't had internet access, but I've finished Unearthed (Unearthed, #1) by Amie Kaufman and The Leaf Reader by Emily Arsenault -- just need to write some reviews. Loved them both.

I'm almost finished with Artemis by Andy Weir , Andy Weir's new book, coming out in November -- another fantastic read!

I'm half way finished with The Border, Steve Schafer's debut novel -- also very good. I've had some great luck choosing books this month...

I am also more than half-way through reading The Great Shelby Holmes Meets Her Match (The Great Shelby Holmes, #2) by Elizabeth Eulberg with my daughter and we are having a great time with this one!

What are you all reading?


message 14: by Tiffany (new)

Tiffany Heywood (tiffthebooknerd) | 1563 comments I've finished 3 books I just need to write my reviews which I'll be doing this this week when I get home tomorrow!


message 15: by Sabaha (new)

Sabaha (bookture) | 75 comments Wow thata amazing!! Ive just finshed A Song for Ella Grey by David Almond and have just started The Death Cure (Maze Runner, #3) by James Dashner


message 16: by Iman (new)

Iman (imanayadd) | 207 comments ive been busy and just recently remembered that i was apart of a team lol sorry but is started reading last night and im halfway through it so hopefully ill have a review by the end of this week

T.J. Burns | 2698 comments I finished Andy Weir's new book Artemis by Andy Weir -- a fantastic read! Loved it! Intelligent, exciting, with intriguing characters who are less than perfect! Need to write a review...

I also finished Steve Schafer's debut novel The Border by Steve Schafer . Very emotionally involving. I'll be posting my review shortly.

I am almost finished with The Great Shelby Holmes Meets Her Match (The Great Shelby Holmes, #2) by Elizabeth Eulberg .

I'm thinking of joining a buddy read or two -- maybe Now I Rise (The Conqueror's Saga, #2) by Kiersten White , Dark Matter by Blake Crouch , and/or The Bone Witch (The Bone Witch, #1) by Rin Chupeco .


message 18: by Iman (new)

Iman (imanayadd) | 207 comments i think what im going to do is just write out all of the reviews and then post them later and all at once

✦ Maica ✦ (maicacruz) | 687 comments I'm sorry if I haven't finished a book yet. I've been swamped by school since the start of August. I'll try to finish something tonight


message 21: by Sabaha (new)

Sabaha (bookture) | 75 comments I'd love to do some buddy reads but I don't think I can :/


message 22: by Michaela (new)

Michaela (readingrowena) | 723 comments Soooo, quick recap - finished books 1,2,3 and 2.5 from Geek Girl series and last night (4am YES OF COURSE #bookwormpower) Beautiful (Beautiful Bastard, #5) by Christina Lauren and I LOVED IT! 5 books down! I think I am gonna start either Release by Patrick Ness (I bought a signed edition last month from England and I am soooo excited to fly through this omg #fangirling #bearwithmeplease :D) or The Fireman by Joe Hill but this one is like a million pages long and I just got out of my reading slump and I really don't know if I want to risk this... On the other hand, Dunkirk The History Behind the Major Motion Picture by Joshua Levine is looking me straight in the eyes from my bookshelf and is waiting for me impatiently.. AT THE SAME TIME Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is a pretty good choice for a fly-through book and I've had Vanishing Girls by Lauren Oliver for suuuuuch a long time...
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Damn 😍🎉 #bookwormpower indeed
I think you shouldn't read the book with a gazzilion pages but the one before.... Release because it seems you're realllllly excited to read it and I feel a vibe 👽

I think it was the winner from the very start ahaha but I kind of needed someone to help me because I want to read them all at once haha
Thanks! I'll keep you updated about how it goes!
P.S. I see you are reading The Maze Runner #3, I have The Kill Order on my tbr, do you plan on reading it afterwards?
Happy reading! #bookwormpower

Any time! XD
Yup :) i actually finished it yesterday. Have you the read the first 3 to?
But no im not , what ive been doing is read one of the series and then read a singular one then back to the series so every second book would not be the series if that makes sense 😅
so curenntly I want to finish The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Oz, #1) by L. Frank Baum then read Read Me Like a Book by Liz Kessler and theeen read The Kill Order (Maze Runner, #0.5) by James Dashner :) #bookwormpower ;) Jolly reading XD

Michaela (readingrowena) | 723 comments I get youuu! haha And yes, I read them a long time ago so I decided to finally read The Kill Order and The Fever Code. The Kill Order (Maze Runner, #0.5) by James Dashner had kind of a slow start and since I was travelling it wasn't quite working for me so I put it down. Maybe if I buddy read it it will make me go through it easily, that's why I am asking. When you decide to start it, you can contact me if you want :)
Btw I started Release by Patrick Ness and I am already on page 70 and it's normal pace which is okay. Nothing unfolding yet so we'll see, sounds interesting already :P #bookwormpower

OMG why didnt i think of that XD Ive never done a buddy read so im really excited!! We can start it any time just tell me :)

Ooh glad you're enjoyjng it , i see your over half way must be good :D I read the blurb and that sounds like a whole lot XD

Im hoping to finish The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Oz, #1) by L. Frank Baum ive noticed ive not read for a while ... trying to put it off XD
(P.S i'd never heard of The Fever Code untill i just searched it up...hmmmm)

#bookwormpower :>

T.J. Burns | 2698 comments Nice Reading, Team!

I finished The Great Shelby Holmes Meets Her Match (The Great Shelby Holmes, #2) by Elizabeth Eulberg , Amina's Voice by Hena Khan , and The Peculiar Incident on Shady Street by Lindsay Currie . I need to write reviews for all three.

Still considering joining buddy reads for Now I Rise (The Conqueror's Saga, #2) by Kiersten White and Dark Matter by Blake Crouch .


message 29: by Michaela (new)

Michaela (readingrowena) | 723 comments Great job TJ!!!!!
@Sabaha I don't really know what I'll be reading after I finish Release but I'll tell you asap when I do! But we'll definitely arrange something! Btw The Fever Code is pretty new that's why I decided to go back to the trilogy and these two books so no worries.
I just bought The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover today and they look really pretty so I might be reading one of those if somebody is interested. #bookwormpower

Ive not been home thats why i havent replied in a while 😅 i see you loved the book thats great to see 😊 so what have you started reading? The months nearly over 😔 so we probably cant start the Kill Order and have it finished before the month ends but im down if you are 😏😊 Also that explains why i havent heard of it 😊 I did get a tad but of reading done , started this The Here and Now by Ann Brashares instead of Read Me Like a Book by Liz Kessler but i think im in a slight reading slump as i dont want to read The Wizard Of Oz but i need to finish it and its really discourageing 😣 I hope i get it read soon

T.J. Burns | 2698 comments Great reviews, Sabaha, Micky, and Maica!

I'm looking forward to reading yours, Tiffany and Iman! Final stretch!

I just posted my review for Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and since there is a large print version and I did a buddy read, it's a whopping 569 pages + buddy points! Whoooo hooo! :)

You girls are doing a great job!!
@TJ all these reviews this month! haha
@Sabaha I just started The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks
bc I am really into romance right now and usually I don't read that much of it so I am trying to read as much as I can while I am in the mood. I organised a buddy read for Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover for Monday bc you didn't answer for quite a while, I am sorry! I have another br for All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven for the 1st September, how about right after I finish that I message you and we can start The Kill Order (Maze Runner, #0.5) by James Dashner ? I am writing it down on my calendar if you are okay with let's say - maybe 4th or 5th?
Happy reading girls! As TJ said - last stretch! #bookwormpower
