Coffee & Books discussion

Hey all - just popping in to say Happy New Year!!

We've been so busy with holidays & parties I haven't had a chance to update my books but I've got several to add ... I won't make my goal of 100 books this year but will come close :D

Will get our points tallied in the next day or so.

Hope you're all enjoying your books & have a nice holiday season !!

Hi all - hope your books are going well :D

I got stalled on my series. I like the Discworld books but didn't love them. Over the holidays we went to see Fantastic Beast (2) and I got drawn back into Potter. I picked up book one off the shelf and enjoyed reading it again, I've flown through them and am almost book 4! Might switch my series over to that if I can find anything else.

I'll tally up the points after work tonight so we can see where we're at. Have a great day !!

i haven't been able to find a series that i'm really interested in so i've been debating continuing my HARRY POTTER reread that i started last year by reading books 4-7. it's so easy to get sucked back into that world!

Hi team! I’ve been off my computer for a few weeks, but never fear I have been reading. I just need to update my totals. I plan to do that in the next few days. I hope everyone had a pleasant holiday season and got some pleasant reading in. I read the Illuminae trilogy and can say that young adult/teen and science fiction are probably at the bottom of my go-to genres, but I really enjoyed them! I read the three books in three days.

@ Sarah - totally agree. I've recommended it to a bunch of my kids' sci fi hating friends telling them to forget that it's "sci fi" and they've all enjoyed it.

Points are tallied!

Team Pages 38760
Team Books 102
Team Points 220

You all are rocking it, I added so many books to our tally sheet!!

How's everyone doing?
Just a few more weeks left to read :D

My whole house has been down with colds & flu for a few weeks - the only good thing is that it allowed for a bunch of reading in between naps, lol

I'm logging books this morning & will tally up our points tonight. Happy reading team.

I used an audio book for "Now You See Her" not realizing it was abridged. It lists no pages. I used the Amazon page count, although this would not be an abridged version. I don't know how to adjust it.

Just over a week left to go in the challenge :D

I've got a few more challenge books I'm hoping to cross of my list.
(I'll get all everyone's challenge book updated on our list this weekend )

I'm focusing on reading some quick easy reads to rack up points ;)
Happy Frid-yay ... have a great weekend

Life's been crazy the last week and my reading time suffered. It's hard to read with the eyes shut. Splitting wood does make me tired.
I will finish the three series books. I will try to have two more done as well.

March 4 is a Monday. I won't be able to post until Tuesday. Is this a problem?

Hi! No not a problem! I won’t tally points till mid to late week when the games end!
