- Read a BIG book (over 600 pages), lifting that is like weight lifting surely?


2. Lose weight:

- Read a book which has the letter 'V' in the title or author's name (for getting your vitamins).


4. Learn a new skill or hobby:
- Read a book in which the main character does something which you would like to be able to do. (This could be horse-riding, surfing, ice-skating, drawing, dancing, etc.)
- Read a book by an author you haven't read a book by previously.
- Read a new book (Published from January 2018 onwards).
- Read a book with the word 'new' in the title or author's name.

8. Save money:
- Read a book which you got for free (could be a free ebook, a library book, a gift, a book you've borrowed) **Please note that we no longer consider Kindle Unlimited books to be free books, as this is a paid-for service.**
- Read a review copy.
- Read a book which has the word 'save' in the title.
- Read a book which you've read before (must be at least 1 year since you have last read it).
- Read a book which features a millionaire/billionaire as a main character.

I plan on reading for "book with the letters 'F', 'I', and 'T' in the title/author's name", for "a book which you've read before" and I'm currently reading for "a book by an author you haven't read a book by previously"

I'm about to finish which can count for "Read a book by an author you haven't read a book by previously.".

And I just started which can count for "Read a book which you got for free.".


I'll add books as I finish these. And if you want to buddy read any of these just come to me.


(On a side note I'm about to finish . Do you guys think I should include it? We could get about a 100 pages out of it.)

Hey guys! Checking in

No, I don't but that sounds great! I'm on Cress right now and then I'm wanting to read Fairest next so I'm not sure when would be good. What would work for you?

I'm starting Harry Potter this month!! I've actually never read it!! I'm a slow reader so I'll probably be starting soon. We can BR if you want to! :)

Checking in! I don't have any definite list of books I am going to read but I will be joining buddy reads I am interested in as I go!

I'm free whenever. Just let me know when you think you're almost done with Fairest and I'll be ready to start. Over a weekend would also be easier but that's it for me. Take your time :)

I just posted my first review. Go team!

Hi everyone sorry I've not been putting many reviews up but I promise to have more up soon.

*raises hand pitifully* I have. Bit of a reading slump these first few weeks. I think it's just a holiday hangover. BUT, I am glad to say that I think it's over! I'm almost done with one book, zooming through Harry Potter, and about to start another :D

I've been the same way. I finally just finished my second book. I'm about to be off work for several days so I'm hoping to catch up.

Planning on starting either tonight or tomorrow.

Haley, you're going to read Winter!? It took me a whole month to finish that one. Then again I'm a slow reader.

And just finished Harry Potter! Going to be putting up review soon!

It was great!! I can't wait to get to the next one, but I have to admit, Goblet of Fire and the Half-Blood Prince are the ones I'm looking forward to the most. Those were my favorites of the movies!
