YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

So I've decided to do the Dewey's Readathon on the 21st, meaning I'll read as much as I can from 1am Sunday my time, but I obviously won't be up then, so when I wake up I'll just read straight until work at 4, read/listen on my breaks, and then when I get home I'll read as late as I can until I need to sleep. Can't wait! Especially now I've got my social media accounts up and running to post progress on :p

Alright that's me done for the night with studying. I shall now just settle down and read.

Good luck with your readathon! I wouldn't be able to stay up all night haha

I finished my test so I'm hoping to do a lot of reading today! I'll finish and hopefully most of . Plus read some of Fireblood for real haha

I finished my third book of the series today. I'll post shortly and then look to see what BR catches my attention. I'll also be continuing with the hollows series. :)

Yup. I think there are 13 books in the series and most of them should be at least 4 pointers. :)

Sweet. Ensnared should be 8-10 points not sure. Tales of the Peculiar is only 4. And Fireblood will be 8 once I get around to that.

Thanks! And neither XD I'm going to go to sleep on Saturday as early as I feel tired, so then I can wake up earlier and just read.

My current read and my next book are only 2 pointers because they're not buddies and I'm reading them for challenges.

I hate to say this, but I actually think I might drop some of my BRs, or at least only read them when I feel like it. I'm just getting so overwhelmed, knowing I've planned books all the way into January, and it's stressing me out. Looking at all these BookTubers reading books from their TBR shelves that they actually want to read sounds so luxurious, and I really want to do it. Only thing that's bad is that I'll get half points for everything, which is seriously off-putting.

At least it'll be alright for next month as long as I'm reading series because not really any teams.

Is it weird how I mostly love planning BRs, and when it comes around to actually reading them it's a different story? Planning is just so exciting, and there's so much anticipation, but trying to fit on a schedule's stressful. It's the schedule that's bleh, because there's days I just don't feel like reading.

lol. I'm the same!! :P

Do you want to cut back in BRs too? Because if you did we could cancel the ones we had planned and plan them spread out over the start of next year?

Sure. Just let me know what you want to drop and when you want to restart them. :)

Only if that's okay with you? Can't even remember which ones were ours and which ones were Jamie's XD I'll just post which ones I do want to drop and if any are yours then let me know :p

It's fine. I'm feeling overwhelmed with my current BRs so I'd be nice to have a bit more room. :)

Okay cool. Don't think I'll drop anything this month apart from maybe a few Morganvilles. Not too sure. They're good, but just not in the mood for them.

I'll get back to you with what I want to drop tonight after my exam and work.

KK. :)

Thank you :D Contributing to my stress decrease :D

Will probably finally end up reading the novellas for Morganville during the readathon, as well as #2. Just need to find the post that has the order of the novellas :p Also will try for Den of Shadows #2 and potentially Morganville #3. Oh wait nope I'll read Without Merit before Morganville #3. Not a more perfect time to read a Hoover book <3 Just smash it out at once.

This is why I only plan BRs I want to read haha. And doing audios has been my saving grace :D

I'm posting Ensnared now and am halfway ish through Lord of Misrule. And I'll read Tales of the Peculiar after dinner :D

I just realized I have 32 books planned for Nov omg how will this work!? And that doesn't include Morganville! :O

O.o

I didn't realize I planned so many!

I only have 2 series reads for December though haha

I haven't been in an audio mood lately, and when I am I can't 100% focus on any book which is so annoying.

o.o Good luck!

Thank you! I'm going to need to read a lot of audiobooks next month. Kind of debating trying to listen to an audio and read a physical book like Alaina does.

😱😱😱😱😏😏😏😏 do it

I'm at a lecture for the next hour and then I have to go to the gym but after that we'll see! :D

I FINISHED EMPIRE OF STORMS AND MY HEART IS BROKEN.

I FEEL YOUR PAIN 😭😭😭

I don't even know how, if, or when I can handle the next book.

Well the next that deals with Aelin doesn't come out until next May I think. Tower if Dawn isn't as heartbreaking I promise.

WAIT A MINUTE. SHE ISNT IN THE NEXT BOOK?!?

Tower of Dawn is like 5.5. It's basically Chaol's version of EoS since he wasn't in it. It was supposed to be a novella, but SJM got sick and had family sickness so the final book got pushed back and ToD was expanded.

Oh man

Yeah. There's a bunch coming out next year including an ACOTAR novella, ToG 7, the ToG compendium and Catwoman!

Oh wow that all sounds so intense!

@Alaina: Pleased I pushed you to read it now? :D

I'm happy she read it hahaha

I have 25 pages of Tales of the Peculiar left :)

Awesome! I'm going to try and finish off Venomous tonight (around 200pg to go). Also going to try and find someone to cover my work shift on Sunday so I can just totally have the whole day to read for the readathon.

Good luck getting your shift covered! I'll probably be up for another hour or so and try to get some of Fireblood done. I'm hoping to finish it tomorrow then start Ship of the Dead. Also started the audiobook of Dark Matter.

Thanks I really need the luck, and I seriously want this shift covered! Super excited XD If I don't get it it'll throw a spanner in the works of the first most popular readathon I've done XD

Definitely true. I guess I'm kind of having a readathon this week since I'm not as busy :)

Lucky haha. All of my books I'm currently reading have taken me so long. I've been reading Siren Chronicles probably a week. Venomous for like 3-4 days. I really hate exams. But my next one's in 8 days, so I'm giving myself a few days off to just have some me time :D (well around my work shifts I picked up XD)

Yeah I know how you feel, my test from today really drained me and took up so much time! Ugh studying is the worst sometimes.

We got 26 more points today alone, I say that's a good day!

And yesterday I was just so knackered after my test. I need to try and sleep in around an hour and a half so that I get 8hrs tonight, as I'm up at 7, and then Friday I'm up at 6 -_- So early for me!

I'm actually really tired now. I might just go to bed XD Read for 5 minutes if I can.

@Book: Is it you that I'm reading Lux with? If so, I'd kind of like to put that off for a bit. Same with Golden Compass?
