Really does it I have not paid attention to that.

Just a friendly reminder, each team will find out on Wednesday what 4 characters they will be starting with on October 1st. That way everyone can plan out what they want to read. You will still have to complete 4 categories for each character though.

Other than that, each team has their own SS. Please let me know if you can't access it before October 1st!

Hey guys!! I’m super excited to join in on this ☺️

In october, I have to read Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn. I won't have time for Kingdom of Ash though. I'll read that one in November. Otherwise, I'm going to try to listen to audiobooks (my scribd shelf) and read my arcs from Netgalley.

Do you guys know what you want to read next month? :)

So far I think I'm reading: Queen of Shadows, Empire of Storms, Tower of Dawn, The Thousandth Floor, The Dazzling Heights, The Towering Sky, Magic Steps, Shatterglass, Street Magic, Cold Fire

I have to plan some other stuff for my bingo board so I'll probably work on that today :)

Also there is a series BR for Throne of glass if you'd like to participate in that Kelly :)

Nice! I might join for these two then :).

I'll probably read Pain when it comes out (15th) as well.

If you guys want you can just add books to the banked tab when you're finished rather than claiming categories. I can work out categories for all of them so we wouldn't have to wait for people to finish or fight over spots :)

Hi everyone!

Hi Taylor! Welcome :)

That's a good idea Andrea, I'll probably do that. Thanks for volunteering to figure out the categories and stuff ahah.

That sounds awesome Andrea, thanks!
I plan to read Two Dark Reigns for sure and haven’t decided on what others yet for October-I’m still narrowing things down for all the new releases coming or just out!!

I loved two dark reigns!!

Also I have insider knowledge on our next categories so I figure it would make most sense for me to volunteer to organize haha :D

Welcome friend!!

Hey so I wanted to start strong by listening to an audiobook this morning and I just finished Turtles All the Way Down.

It can fit a spot for Ratcliffe (MC lacks self-esteem). I put it there on the ss but I can't remember if we have to use the number of pages of the edition most used or the biggest number of pages for this challenge? I think it's the first but let me know please :)

I'll go and write my review now!

Most rated edition is what we use :)

I'm reading The Girl from the Well today and starting Jurassic Park too

Great. Thanks Andrea. I've started Trial of three and the broken ones. I'll finish them both tomorrow :)

Currently reading for Malecifent

Excuse my caffeine free brain if this is a dumb question but what does that mean exactly? Where is the banked tab? I also didn't see a change on the ss just how many books that have been read so far by Kelly?

I just finished my second book seconds ago so 2 of the 3 I put in the ss are read.

Wow you guys are fast!!
I’m starting Love & Gelato tomorrow and Two Dark Reigns.
I am also interested in reading the thousandth floor Andrea that you mentioned reading and I’m hoping to read every heart a doorway too.
Can I count pages read in October as well? I’m doing a reread of City of Bones but have been reading it already and didn’t finish it for the Sept challenge...

I also haven’t read any of the BOTM and either own or want to read all of them so I’ll see if I can fit any of them in.

Yes you can post a book you started in September for pages, just let us know how many pages you read in October

I'll totally BR the thousandth floor with you :) I think Alaina said she wanted to read it as well.

The banked books is just a separate tab in the spreadsheet. If you go to there at the bottom there's three tabs: Info, tracking and banked books. So if you can't find an open spot in tracking then put your book on banked books

Andrea wrote: "I'll totally BR the thousandth floor with you :) I think Alaina said she wanted to read it as well."

Okay sounds great!! I’ve been meaning to read it for a long time and this is the perfect opportunity to pick it up! :-)

Just finished The broken ones. :)

Just started The Thousandth Floor, and Love & Gelato. Off day from work today so I hope to make some good progress!!
