https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...Are there any books you have on your TBR pile that you'd like to discuss? I'd like to join in some buddy reads within the team!
:( I read Venom in January and Shadow & Bone in February...So I won't be doing those. I might join you for To Kill a Mockingbird (depending on how my other BR are going).
Just wondering how many books you guys are aiming for?I hope to read 15 !
My February is pretty unproductive so I'm aiming for 31 :)
sorry guys I finally got the link to work! I'm ready! does a book I'm currently reading count or do I have to have started it after March 1st?

Well, considering I just read 16 books that counted + 5 more that had less than 100 pages in February, you'd think I'd set a high goal.But March is a little insane for me - I have report cards to write & Parent Interviews, but I also have the last few days off for Spring Break, so I'm going to set my goal at 10 books, and hopefully be able to speed past that no problem.
Sorry if that was TL;DR....
TBR for the Month, in case anyone wants to Buddy Read with me & get more points!

Wow! Solid numbers :) March is a little crazy for me (tons of overtime!), so my lofty goal is 12, but I think a more realistic goal is 8 or 9. I'm hoping to read:The Girl at Midnight
Seraphina
The Midwife of Hope River
The Reluctant Midwife: A Hope River Novel
The Lake Season
Sea of Stars
The 4-Hour Workweek
Death Sworn
Red Queen
I don't have any set dates on these, so if anyone wants to buddy read, just let me know! :)
The challenge is already starting! Good luck to us!Here's a cute puppy to inspire us all
Apparently if you use an emoji, it cuts half of your message off. I started one this morning and am planning on finishing tonight or tomorrow.

I'm probably not gonna get a lot of reading done til the middle of the month cuz im visiting family but then I'll go crazy
Just started Bound. REALLY wish I didn't have to work!

I'm reading
I think this will take me a while since it's not very engaging :S

What about when you're commuting? Is there time to read?

I read it back in Grade 9 (oh my...that's a while back) and thought it was good, and then my husband (when he was still my boyfriend) was in a theatre production of it as Bob Ewell. If I can get my act together & finish The Hobbit, I think I might do a re-read!
Noella, it takes me five minutes to drive to work (small city!) so no. I think I might start reading at the gym, though. I've been waking up early to read---this challenge has been very motivational!
@JessicaI read it back in 8-9th grade too! I kinda forgot what it was about except for the names. It's not bad at the moment, just easy to put down and do other things.. That's cool how your husband was in a theatre production of it!
@Lauren
Oh I see!
Gah! I just looked at the chasers - they already have 23 points! Do they just read all day?!?!
Noella wrote: "I'm reading I think this will take me a while since it's not very engaging :S"2/3 in and I'm glued to the story. :)
Jessica wrote: "Gah! I just looked at the chasers - they already have 23 points! Do they just read all day?!?!"Oh no, the gap has widened even more. Chasers on a whopping 36! Definitely need to go the buddy read route to catch up.
What's everyone reading at the moment? I'm kind of disappointed we've lagged behind T_T
I'm reading the Assassin and the Underworld (short novella) and the DUFF.Looks like you're getting through those books quite quickly though which is impressive! I guess all that matters is we enjoy the books we read :)
I'm trying to read The Hobbit, but I've been terribly stressed the last little bit, so I haven't gotten very far. I've got an e-book on the go as well.I have to apologize that I haven't been reading as much for this challenge - I will be reading more, I'm just in a slump right now, plus work stuff and family health problems are huge factors.
I just finished Bound and will be starting either
or
if anyone wants to join! Too many decisions, so you can choose :)

@LaurenCan't join you on any since my reading schedule packed but I do hope you enjoy the Selection. Breezed through that book since it was addictive!
Hi Lauren, I'll join in reading the Selection if still going to read. :)
Ugh! I started an ebook with a buddy read, and I knew if I didn't like it, I was going to try to get to at least 100 'real' pages, but I hated it so much, I got to like 25....Now I'm onto a book I definitely like so hopefully this will get me out of my reading slump.
Hey all,I hope you can consider buddy reading these FREE short stories for a quick 2 points per book :)

Which book was that? I hate reading slumps :( Do you like contemporaries? That usually gets me out of one !
It was 'Rosie Rinkstar'. Got it through NetGalley.I'm not usually into contemporaries. I'm more YA fantasy stuff - I'm currently reading book 4 of the Mortal Instruments. So good, just totally thrown off my reading game right now :(
@Noella - where can I find these e-books?
They're available on Amazon. Three Little Words is also on Kobo
Life, Love & Texting isn't free anymore.
