These are the bonus categories for the month so if we can we should try to read as many books that fit these as possible as we get one extra point for each one. :)

Unfortunately you can only read one of them for new author as the rules say you can only complete the bonus categories once per team member.

Okay, sounds good! I'm gonna try to find some other books that would fit in the bonus categories. But I already have an extensive planned book list for August so I'm not sure how many books I'll finish.

KK. If you can't find book that's fine. Some of them are a bit hard. :)

I have big book festival coming up in Sept (that first weekend) so I'll have a high reading month as I try to catch up reading before I meet all the authors:



I'll figure out categories soon!

Woohoo! I'm also planning on trying to read a lot of books. I'm aiming for at least 25. :)

Hi everyone! I'm checking in.

Hi Colleen! I'm on my iPod right now so I can't check off your name. :)

So I've gotten a good chunk of done. Should finish that today. I'll also be starting later today.

Bookbuyer wrote: "So I've gotten a good chunk of done. Should finish that today. I'll also be starting later ..."

I'm starting today. So that'll go towards the bonus category read the last book in a series. Then I'm starting . Which will be an author I've never read before. Not sure where I'll go from there. But I'll figure it out.

Today I'm starting: (but I don't think I'll be able to finish it for this month.)

and: &

and hopefully start/finish one more :)

Looks like your team is off to a great start so far! Great job everyone.

I need to put off till Friday or Sunday as I just got a BR for it in another group.

I'll instead be reading

How far into were you? Hope you like

Jackie wrote: "How far into were you? Hope you like "

About 25%. I'm happy that I got the BR for it so I'm willing to wait to read it.

I really wanted to read The Hundredth Queen so I have high hopes. I got it as a prize in another group so I'm REALLY happy that I don't have to buy it now. ^-^

That's great! Hope it lives up to your expectations.

I've got a little bit left in I almost dnf'd it, but I'll see if I can pull through. Then I have coming in on Wednesday. Not sure if I'll use that as my last book in a series or for one set in the US.

Hey everyone! I'm kind of used to how this works and I'm not sure where to enter in the page # I've read. But I am thinking I could do these-

*Read a book that is over 500 pages. (Heir of Fire)
*Read a book set in the US, Canada, or the UK. (Any book pretty much)
*Read a book with a yellow cover (must be 50% of the color). (replica)

Thanks Liz ☺️

Liz: Here's the link to your review thread, which is where you'll post completed books.

I hope you like Calamity, Sarah!

I am devouring which is unusual as it's an e-book and even if I really like the book I hate e-book formats and hence read slower. At this rate I might even finish it a few hours! :D

C.P. wrote: "I hope you like Calamity, Sarah!"
I'm sure I will. I have yet to read a Brandon Sanderson story I did not enjoy. He was even able to fix the mess that Robert Jordan made of his saga.

Glad you're enjoying it so much Bookbuyer.

Jackie wrote: "Glad you're enjoying it so much Bookbuyer."

Me too. :)

Towers of Midnight was my favorite in the Wheel of Time series. :)

C.P. wrote: "Towers of Midnight was my favorite in the Wheel of Time series. :)"
It's been a while, so they all kind of blend in. But I really enjoyed like the first 3 books. I barley made it through 6-10 and stopped reading them until I knew there would be an ending. So Sanderson's last 2 and Jordan's first few are the ones I really enjoyed.
I've thought about rereading some of them, but the thought of Nynaeve pulling her braid every other sentence puts me off...

The pulling of the braid was annoying, but Nynaeve was actually one of the few characters I consistently liked. Elayne one the other hand...I read them all last year (into this year) and an now working on a blog post about them all.

Hi, I've started today.

I'll be out of the country from the 8th to the 22nd on holiday but I'm taking my kindle and hopefully I'll be reading a lot. I'm not going to take my computer with me so I'll post all the reviews when I get back home.

Way to go Bookbuyer! :) I started yesterday but I am only 1/3 through. Hopefully I will be able to get most of it read or even finish it today!
