Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 2302 comments Howdy everyone! I'm on vacay so I only saw the challenge one time. I have to look at it now to see what the reading tasks are, so I have no specific plans. I'm currently finishing up Kingdom of Ash (Throne of Glass, #7) by Sarah J. Maas Kingdom of Ash and should be done today, and then I can begin to plan now that I can access the challenge.

Nice to see/meet everyone!

Meghan, I take it you're captain? Do we/will we have a SS or only the review thread?

Since the challenge is fairly simple, theres no goal we're working to complete beyond just reading a lot of books, an SS isn't necessary! And in terms of reading, I believe you can find a slot for almost every book :)

Okay, thanks, Meghan. :)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments I'll be starting with The Night Circus and Spare and Found Parts if anyone wants to BR :)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 2302 comments I'm starting with Reviving Izabel by J.A. Redmerski. Even though it has only a two-word title, it has a lot of other categories that it fits. The other books I've already planned so far if anyone wants to BR any with me: More of You, Stay with Me, Geekerella, The Heart's Invisible Furies, and The Man I Love

I'd love to BR my books if anyone is interested!
Reviving Izabel is #2 in the In the Company of Killers series. I'm hoping to also read book #3 in the series, The Swan & the Jackal

Does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of categories we can use for one book?

We're not trying to really complete categories here, and the book only needs to fit one to count


message 15: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 2302 comments Omg! Lol I spent a lot of time looking for ALL the categories my books fit! Lol Thanks for clarifying that for me!

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments Ok I got a few of my reviews posted and I've run out of time for now. I have 7 more to go.. I'm hoping to have a little more time tonight after we get back from a family gathering but no promises. Might have to get some more done tomorrow afternoon. I'm still reading though!


message 33: by Linaria (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments We are road tripping 10 hour drive for our beach vacay so I'll be using my hot spot/lap top as to finally get caught up on my reviews. I have about 12 more to go! Got a couple done already. Sorry it just takes forever to write reviews.. I know i'm a terrible review dumper! I'm not sure how to get my self more organized when it comes to reviews. I'm going to see what I can do!

Hello Team Obsidio, just to let you know that I have messaged Meaghan to ask if she is still taking part in the challenge, I know it's late in the month but hopefully we will hear back from her soon x


message 41: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 2302 comments Sarah, have you heard from Meaghan yet?


message 42: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments sorry about being MIA guys! I have some books to post but life got busier than I thought so I won't make minimum :( but I should still have 5-7 books this month!


message 43: by Tiera (last edited Jul 26, 2019 01:05PM) (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments I'm super behind on reviews.. I'm not sure its ever been this bad. I'm desperately trying to play catch up though its just been a hella busy month. I have about 16 more reviews to write right now and still have to finish 3 or 4 more BR and a couple solos I'm reading. I'm getting there... Its just clench time and my butt is still sunburnt so its painful :P.


message 44: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 3530 comments Yay team! I just posted my last two reviews and I'm going to take the rest of the day off. It's been fun playing with all of you - we really kicked butt. I hope to see each of you in future challenges.


message 45: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 2302 comments Is this one over? I do have a couple books to add. I’ve enjoyed this one!


message 46: by Meaghan (new)

Meaghan (ectophine) | 3596 comments today is the last day! I finally have some time to sit down and write reviews so I'll do that tonight and post them!!


message 47: by Jammin Jenny (new)

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 1721 comments Sorry I was MIA the last couple of weeks - vacay and visiting family put me behind. I'm finishing up a couple more books today and will post them. It was really fun playing with you all!


message 48: by Vicki (new)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 2302 comments I always hate to see the challenges end! LOL


message 49: by Tiera (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments I'm done! I'm sorry I was behind all month. Work and #momlife has really been wrecking me as of late! Good job guys! I'll see you all in the next challenge.
