Hello Team 31 Days, just to let you know that I have messaged Robyn and Alex and asked them to check in here. If they haven't checked in by January 5th I'll look for replacements for you ☺

Thanks Sarah!

If anyone likes to read crime books or mystery thrillers, I’m your gal! Also I plan on reading The Wicked King and The Vanishing Stairs.

How is everyone doing?? I have been sucked into the dragonian series and am Loving it!!! Hopefully I will get some BR with you guys!

Doing decent. Hoping to finish two books tomorrow: and

I'm about to leave for a wedding so I won't be back on until tomorrow afternoon.

I didn’t see these comments :(

I’m going good. Finished just need to review it (it’s a buddy).
50% into and 15% into which are both buddies.

Due to start and too.

Also planning to read some books with Jackie :) I really need to get back into audio! I’m slumping with that at the moment!

How’s everyone else going?

Ooo, I liked , I am going to read wicked prince maybe wed or thur if you are going to continue with the series!
I am almost finished with the I am a bit sad its almost over... :-(

Sorry just seeing comments. Im doing good end up reading books that wasnt on my tbr list for this month smh lol. Right now reading and hoping to start soon.....

Good job! Haha that’s always the way, read books not on the plan :P but that’s the best kind of reading!

I preordered Wicked King so I should be getting it soon. Barnes and Noble is annoying with preorders. They ship it the day it’s released.

Hey guys, so I am on a roll today... anyone want to sprint?

If you are still on, I can sprint 😬

I'll be available to sprint around 5pm CST if anyone's still on :)

I am still here! I am about to start my next book. How about we start at 4pm (5 mins from now) for a 30 min sprint?

I hate that I never get notifications from Goodreads! I’ve just been in bed reading

wanna try again at :50 for 30 mins?

I'll be available in about an hour.

I’m just getting ready for the beach and then once I’m there I can sprint, 20-30 minutes until then, I’ll post back then

Hello Team 31 Days, just to let you know that Lara will be joining your team to replace one of your missing members ☺

Wooohooo! Thanks Sarah.

Updated the first post :)

I'm also going to update the review thread so the descriptions are there as well for yall.

I finished a book last night, I’ll post it hopefully soon! It’s a br with one of our teammates! 😊
I have a lot of reading planned (including brs), so I’m going to try hard to catch up! 🥰😃

I have 3 completed books I need to post reviews for. I’ve done all the buddy comments but just need to do the reviews. Two were netgalleys so I find them intimidating to write a review as I want it to be reasonable 😝

Currently reading 4 books as well :)

I should be finishing both of these by the end of the day tomorrow at the latest. The first one is a BR.



If I have time, I'm going to try and finish this one Saturday too. I started it in December and had to return it, so only about 50% will count for this challenge, but better than nothing.

I'll definitely have more manga to add later too, but I'm trying to wait until I get a good amount before I submit them. I don't like doing the minimum bits.

Hello guys!! I've got a couple of books that I just need to write reviews for and then I can put them up :)

How is everyone doing, I am reading right now. I should be done in a few hours then I will post the few that haven't yet. I think we are doing wonderful so early!
I have a feeling that we are going to be the....

will be done for sure tonight.
going to try and finish this tonight too. (BR)

4 manga will be done as well.

We're ahead by 40 points, good job team. :D

I havent had much time to post my finished books on the review finished 4 books ill post soon. Been working doubles at work and work this weekend but ill post them soon. Right now just started reading 2 books. A thriller and another scifi. Been in the scifi mood lately hehe lil.

I am pushing off reading the last book in the Dragonian series... I am a serial Series non finisher... I think I may have finished maybe 3 series in my life.

Im that type if i read the first book in the series and love it i try to keep going on and on with all the books in the series. Sometimes i do end up waiting awhile to keep going like im 260 pages in on Oathbringer since november i believe is when i started it but since its over a 1,200 page book and book 4 wont be out until probaby 2020 im not in a rush lol.

My goal this year is to actually finish some book series that I've started because I'm horrible at that too so I know the feeling.

I'm reading this and I've got a few buddy reads lined up for later in the month.
