message 15: by Marlene (new)

Marlene Galea Sorry for the silly query...but how exactly do we go about this?


message 16: by Janor (new)

Janor | 524 comments Heyy Marlene!

In this thread we can simply chat or discuss which books we're going to read and in our review chat: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... you can post a link with your review once you've read a book. This month we can simply read whatever book we want and only have to follow the challenge rules: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Does this make it clearer?


message 17: by Marlene (new)

Marlene Galea Yes thanks Janor. I don't have buddies for my book reading but I guess that's fine?


message 18: by Janor (new)

Janor | 524 comments Yeahh that's totally fine! Buddy reads award more points but they're not mandatory :)


message 19: by Marlene (new)

Marlene Galea Thanks Janor.

One more question: the books needn't all be fiction, need they?

any genres counts


message 21: by Marlene (new)

Marlene Galea Thanks


message 22: by Janor (last edited Sep 10, 2017 03:27AM) (new)

Janor | 524 comments Oh and another handy thing to know is how to add spoilers:

You can write it like this:

< spoilers > then here the spoilers < / spoilers >

But then without the spaces in between..


message 23: by Adriana (new)

Adriana | 3733 comments How is everyone? Have you loved any of your books?


message 24: by — Massiel (new)

— Massiel (rollitosdecanela) | 2249 comments @Adriana I'm trying not to stress about this challenge :))))
Next time I'll go for solo but so far I liked some books others don't.

What about you?


message 25: by Adriana (last edited Sep 12, 2017 11:15AM) (new)

Adriana | 3733 comments No reason to stress! This is the fun challenge (: I do wish to read a lot more though.

I haven't loved any books surprisingly because the ones I read were pretty high on my anticipation list. I have another one on that list I'm going to read - Once and for All that I'm hoping is fantastic.

No amazing ones?


message 26: by Marlene (new)

Marlene Galea I'm currently reading "The Obesity Code" (Fung)...though I have long flirted with the Paleo diet, this book is actually changing the way I think about food.

Another great one I'm relishing reading slowly is Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs.

Meanwhile I'm binging on Agatha Christies...nice enough of course but perhaps not quite life-changing.

(Thanks Janor re heads up about spoilers. Will keep it in mind)


message 27: by Janor (new)

Janor | 524 comments I'm going pretty slow with reading, but that was to be expected because school has started again..

I still need to write my review for Cinder which I actually finished last week and I finished Fallen today. Both were actually a bit dissapointing...

I have a few buddy reads coming up, so hopefully I'll enjoy those better! :)

There are a lot of adult books I want to read now too. I think I've read too mamy of the same YA. I want to read a good running book.

I've always wanted to try Agatha Christie's books but I'm not sure they would appeal to me.

I liked Cinder but later on I was reading reviews on it and started rethinking my enjoyment of the story. It was a little dry. I've heard nothing but bad things about Fallen unfortunately.

My last book was one that was way better than the others so hopefully the same fares for you.

by Sarah Dressen? Oh boy... I want to read more of that author's work I love Just Listen.

Hahaha I know but I can help and still stress about this.

So far I liked Night Huntress and Me and Earl and the Dying Girl


message 31: by — Massiel (new)

— Massiel (rollitosdecanela) | 2249 comments I'm pretty busy lately because of college but soon I'll finish Stormdancer (:


message 32: by Adriana (new)

Adriana | 3733 comments You should read Saint Anything! It was a favorite of mine of last year.

Nighthuntress? Sounds awesome.

What are you studying?

Just finished Crazy is my Superpower. I need to figure out what to read next.


message 33: by — Massiel (last edited Sep 13, 2017 08:18PM) (new)

— Massiel (rollitosdecanela) | 2249 comments @Adriana Noted! I'm studying Tourism and Hotel Business Administration

Oh... that is why I do a tbr-year-


message 34: by Adriana (new)

Adriana | 3733 comments Cool, are you enjoying your classes?

I try doing a yearly tbr but I'm too much of a mood reader ☺


message 35: by — Massiel (new)

— Massiel (rollitosdecanela) | 2249 comments I can't wait to finish college, ugh.


message 36: by Adriana (new)

Adriana | 3733 comments After college is rough though. I graduated in May and I'm trying to get my barrings.

Found my next book: Etiquette & Espionage (Finishing School, #1) by Gail Carriger .


message 37: by — Massiel (new)

— Massiel (rollitosdecanela) | 2249 comments Enjoy your book I'll start The Retribution of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #3) by Michelle Hodkin and all the others I'm currently reading.

I learn that everything is rough so... I have to deal with it


message 38: by Adriana (last edited Sep 14, 2017 08:40PM) (new)

Adriana | 3733 comments Ugh! Did not like my book 😭 Very boring...

Let me know how you like the ending. I should read that series already. I'm rereading a book I loved a long time ago. I never finished the series and want to fix that. Have you ever read Paranormalcy (Paranormalcy, #1) by Kiersten White ?


message 39: by — Massiel (new)

— Massiel (rollitosdecanela) | 2249 comments Hahah okay. No... Never heard of it, is it good?


message 40: by Adriana (last edited Sep 14, 2017 08:50PM) (new)

Adriana | 3733 comments The main character is very sarcastic. She's so funny! She reminds me of Buffy with some Veronica Mars. She fights monsters and has a pink taser 😋

I just hope when I finish the series it ends well. The last book of a series feels like it determines the quality of all the books.


message 41: by — Massiel (new)

— Massiel (rollitosdecanela) | 2249 comments I can't stop thinking about Night Huntress when you said that. Let me know and I'll added to my tbr :)


message 42: by Adriana (new)

Adriana | 3733 comments Did that series end badly?

I'll let you know (:


message 43: by — Massiel (new)

— Massiel (rollitosdecanela) | 2249 comments I just read until the third book, the series has seven books so I don't know how is going to end but so far I love it!


message 44: by Adriana (new)

Adriana | 3733 comments Seven books!!?? I have to go looking for it later. I have seen the covers before but don't remember what it is about.


message 45: by — Massiel (new)

— Massiel (rollitosdecanela) | 2249 comments Hahaha if I were you I just read the book, I stop reading synopsis since I read the whole book in their synopsis. If you read it, let me know! So far I love that series
