Yes, I had to listen to mine sooner because they are due which is what I commented :) But I will still be around when you get to it!

There was only one audiobook that had these so I was worried they'd get taken up if I didn't claim them when I had a chance

I'm currently trying to make a plan for my reading after I finish the R&D, I think I'll go through a Morganville book then Starcrossed (16 parts on audio!! :O) and then to the shatter me series which I have 2 of I think.

For physicals I think I'll do Before She Ignites after OTD, then Shadow Kiss, then Quicksilver if I can find it.

I do that to! I'm always worried that it will get taken and I won't be able to do my BR! :)

Yeah I checked it out like halfway through September lol.

Yeah that's what happened with Glass Houses :( Sorry guys! Can't wait for my copy to come in.

Are you waiting for an audio or physical copy?

I figured W&D was still pretty new/hyped so I should get it when possible and that Morganville would be around when I got to it. Ebooks seem to go more than audios at my library.

Physical I think XD I'll request the audio now.

Maddison wrote: "Physical I think XD I'll request the audio now."

Good idea! Now I want to go to the library though I don't need to hahaha

O.o That reminds me! I have to ask about Fade Out at my library. My local doesn't have it so I'm going to try inter library lending. :)

Wait it's here as ebook! :D I've got Frostblood planned as my next read (starting tomorrow) but then I'll get around to the first 2 or 3 Glass Houses and then Den of Shadows :D I'll be sticking to schedule from then on Book.

I do love audios though. Where were you getting it from Book?

Btw I'm sprinting, hence the slow replies.

Sent you the link in message. If I comment here they will delete it. :/

Maddison wrote: "Btw I'm sprinting, hence the slow replies."

I really need to sprint. I'm definitely not getting to my hoped 7 books but I'm determined to read two books today! >.<

Good I believe in you! I have to go to work in 1.5 hours so I'm trying to read heaps now. I also won't get much read tomorrow because of uni and work, but I'll still try to finish one book. Debatable though because my next read (Armada) is quite a long audio and same with my physical (Frostblood) so I might not have one ready by tomorrow.

I always find it interesting what different people find 'long'. I personally love books that are AT LEAST 350 pages long but no more than 500 pages long. So about 400-450 is my sweet spot. :)

I'd say books that are over 600 pages are long for me. But I enjoy ones in between 300-500, maybe more towards the higher end if they are written well.

I really want to read so might try to squeeze that in too.

Same! :D

I just bought
and

I'm going to see if some of them are long enough for this challenge and if they count. :)

Moth and the Flame is good!

I prefer books around 300-350, and for me I consider long to be 450+.

I've read The Crown and the Arrow but haven't had a chance to read the other two novellas. :)

They're all good XD

Damn. None of them count but . I was really hoping at least one or two would have a longer novella of two or three books. -.-

Yeah I wasn't having much luck with novellas for this challenge

Andrea wrote: "Yeah I wasn't having much luck with novellas for this challenge"

It's hard finding ones that are long enough but also count and are interesting. :/

I did find a bunch for a series I read this year/last year??? That I've only read a few of and they are long enough and count but I don't know if I will have time to read them. :/

Can't you join some together? Or wait for next challenge and join them?

Btw Book did you figure out about Midnight Bites? If I need to read any of the novellas first? Abbie said we could join some of those together, but they only count for 1 point. But then if you think about it the whole book only counts as one point anyway, so joining a bunch of novellas together anyway is fine.

Maddison wrote: "Can't you join some together? Or wait for next challenge and join them?"

I'd love to be able to join some but I don't know if that's allowed this time around. I can wait till next month but I want to read some of them now to help us. :/

No I forgot. :S

Why does the whole book only count as one point????

Because it contains novellas from throughout the series. I think I remember her saying that. I have to check now.

From Abbie: '0.5 points and 0.5 points for the buddy if 50-99 pages, 1 point and 1 point for buddy if over 100 pages. The series position for the novellas won't change the points in any way.'

I am surprisingly 50% through R&D, probably won't finish tonight but will definitely be done early tomorrow and start Morganville after that.

Alaina got another 16 points so far

Andrea wrote: "Alaina got another 16 points so far"

Darn. -.-

I'll be finishing soon but it won't get us many points.

Finished and posted Flirt. Will probably finish Secondborn next. :)

Woot! I think I'll listen to R&D for about 25 more mins then read a bit of ODT before going to sleep.

KK. We are all doing great! I don't know if we'll beat Alaina's team or not but we are at least not falling far behind! :D

We should be able to nab second at least!

And I'm sure we'll all do well individually too

Andrea wrote: "And I'm sure we'll all do well individually too"

I'm aiming for top 10 or if I can manage it top 5! :D

That's a good goal! :)
