HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments I decided to lower my goal to 80 as I really want to spend some time focusing on writing as well this year!

I tend to lose track of challenges I'm participating in so hoping this will help me keep track!

Wow! Good luck Heather!

If you have any series in common with Kay or I we love to buddy read so let us know what you are trying to catch up on.
I also understand the insane book hoarding!

I love buddy reading as well so I'll have to check out your lists! I know off the top of my head I want to restart Mortal Instruments, Dorothy Must Die, The Heir series and the rest of Cinda's books. I'm sure there are tons more haha!

Brittany | 6449 comments Mod
I have books 5 and 6 of MI to read in 2020, there is also a thread here where we were discussing some of the books so when you get to them jump in!
The Mortal Instruments


message 8: by HeatherH (new)

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments I will definitely jump in on that!

Liliana (lililostinabook) | 2893 comments Mod
That is awesome Heather! Good luck on your challenge! 😊

Oh yes... TMI 🥰 I myself just finished the series not that long ago. Definitely check out the thread when you can... I left many comments as I was reading 😅 lol.


message 10: by HeatherH (new)

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments @Liliana I definitely will! I read the first 5-6 of them but it has been so many years that I barely remember much so I'm starting fresh!

Challenges are looking good!

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments Series to Finish:
Only series started before 2020 listed and only books released prior to 2020 counted with an asterisk noting series to be continued in or past 2020. First spoiler tag is all the ones that are fresh enough for me to just continue in the series. The second spoiler tag are the ones I will have to re-read or at least skim the 'read' books first to refresh my memory.

Laura ☾ | 873 comments Oooh good luck! I foresee a lot more buddy reads! haha


message 19: by HeatherH (new)

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments YES!!!


message 20: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 6449 comments Mod
How did you like three mages and a margarita???
I'm hoping to listen to book 3 of that in the nearish future.


message 21: by HeatherH (new)

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments @Brittany - it was enjoyable. I listened to the audio and the narration was pretty good. I will likely continue the series eventually but not in a huge rush.


message 22: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 6449 comments Mod
I did the audio too and it kept me entertained. They're fun books, I understand the no rush.


message 23: by HeatherH (new)

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments Still some updates I need to make on challenges but sixth book for the year completed! Really loving the stats post and getting to see those numbers detailed!


message 24: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 6449 comments Mod
Awesome Heather! I agree seeing those numbers is just so cool


message 25: by Sonnie (new)

Sonnie (sonnie2006) Six?! Wow, that's awesome! Sounds like you will probably go above your goal of 80!


message 26: by HeatherH (new)

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments Sonnie wrote: "Six?! Wow, that's awesome! Sounds like you will probably go above your goal of 80!"

Likely so lol. I want to get back into more writing this year as well but I struggle putting aside books to write!


message 27: by Sonnie (new)

Sonnie (sonnie2006) Have you published anything that we could read? I've been trying for YEARS to finish a book, but I think I have about 10 on going stories saved on my computer lol. I have the same problem- it's too hard putting down my book to write!


message 28: by HeatherH (new)

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments I wish! I'm in the early editing stages with both a full length novel and a novella. I also have several in progress saved on my computer so I totally feel ya! My novella I adore and am most excited about getting the editing finished on it!


message 29: by HeatherH (new)

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments Finished All American Boys by Jason Reynolds and it was so emotional! So worth the read!

Planning to wrap up A Heart So Fierce and Broken (Cursebreakers, #2) by Brigid Kemmerer later today and that'll make 8 books for the month! I'd be so lost without audio books hah!


message 30: by Sonnie (new)

Sonnie (sonnie2006) Ohh let us know when you have it finished and where we can purchase to read it!

I'm thinking of reading A Curse So Dark and Lonely (Cursebreakers, #1) by Brigid Kemmerer next! Did you enjoy the second book?


message 31: by HeatherH (new)

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments I loved A Curse So Dark so much! And not quite finished with the second yet but so far I'm enjoying it! It wasn't the sequel I had expected and took some adjusting to the changes in POV but now I'm really liking it and these characters!


message 32: by Anna (new)

Anna | 36 comments I love that you’re doing an audiobook challenge! So tempting for me to do one too!

I listen to wayy more than I actually read out of convenience so it'll be the challenge I do the best in!


message 34: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 6449 comments Mod
Wow you are killing it so far! How did you like One of Us is Lying?

If you need another set of eyes for editing let me know.


message 35: by HeatherH (new)

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments One of Us is Lying was a re-listen for me but loved it just as much the second time! The sequel was pretty good as well, just not quite as engaging of a mystery as the first.

I would actually really love another set of eyes!


message 36: by HeatherH (new)

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments Will be finishing Graceling (Graceling Realm, #1) by Kristin Cashore City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1) by Cassandra Clare and In an Absent Dream (Wayward Children, #4) by Seanan McGuire all this weekend (possibly also Chosen (Slayer, #2) by Kiersten White )! The plus side to long weekends at work and nasty winter weather is I have tons of down time *usually*!


message 37: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 6449 comments Mod
Woo yay for reading!
I am so sick of nasty weather already, it makes work so much busier.

Send it to [email protected] when you're ready. It will likely be a little before I get to it because of work.


message 38: by HeatherH (new)

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments @Brittany, I'll get through this first round of edits in the next week or so then I will send it over!


message 39: by Laura ☾ (new)

Laura ☾ | 873 comments Oooh I would love to read what you write as well! :)

There's so many amazing books you've read there. I was very lucky to get A Heart So Fierce and Broken as an ARC last year and I loved it even more than the first one. Hope you enjoyed it :)

It took me a bit because I missed Harper so much and I felt like Rhen wasn't even the same character, but once I got used to the change in POV's I really loved it!

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments Laura ☾ wrote: "Oooh I would love to read what you write as well! :)"

Finished product or for edit/critiquing? I'm good either way!


message 43: by HeatherH (new)

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments January - Seventeen books completed, seven were 5 stars, eight were 4 stars and 2 were 3 stars!

I wasn't actually a huge lover of Rhen anyway. I preferred Grey in book 1 as well.

17 books is awesome, Heather! Keep up the great work! 😊


message 47: by HeatherH (new)

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments Thank goodness for audios! It's the only way I can get through so many :)


message 48: by HeatherH (new)

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments Just finished The King of Attolia (The Queen's Thief, #3) by Megan Whalen Turner , only two more in that series to have it finished! (Until the new one in August >.<)


message 49: by HeatherH (new)

HeatherH (bkwrm85) | 802 comments Finished The Rose & the Dagger (The Wrath and the Dawn, #2) by Renée Ahdieh which makes two series finished! (Both duologies but still!)


message 50: by Liliana, YA Paranormal Lover (new)

Liliana (lililostinabook) | 2893 comments Mod
Nice job, Heather! I'm actually in the same boat as you, weirdly. Lol. The three series I've finished so far this year are also all duologies! Lol.
