Let us know you're ready to go by commenting here by July 1st ☺

Hi everyone! I'll be pretty slow the first week of the month but hoping to make up for it in the last few! I'm on a river cruise at the moment!

Checking in:)

Checking in! Hoping to make a dent in my home bookshelf and let other people check out library books this summer. :)

Hi everyone. I'm back after a break and excited to play

Checking in

Checking in ! And Hi everyone

Hi everyone :)

Oooh enjoy your cruise Maddie!

Checking in! Hello, I'm a newer addition!

I have a holiday weekend so I won't be logging books really, but hopefully I'll come back on Wednesday with several books to post

Hi! I likely won’t be updating on gr for a few days (currently on vacation with dubious WiFi) but I should be able to log a bunch of books by the 7th!

Check in. Yesterday I was at my village celebrated Eid al-Adha

Happy Eid! I hope you had a nice time with family. :)

For the non-reading challenge, any tips on #5 how to search a blurb for the phrase? I’m stumped but I see a few of my teammates here figured it out. Thanks for any input!

I'm back from holiday and have 2 books to update for! Will hopefully have 4 by the end of the weekend :D

@As You Wish, you can search through the phrase in the discussions in this group and you should find one that's been used a buddy read :)

@Ashleigh Thanks, I’ll try that. :)

Finished my 4th book of the month :) Tomorrow I'll get to Hooked!

How's everyone going? Hoping we can move up from 4th place! I'm reading my BR of Hooked today then diving into Bridgerton 2!

anyone want to buddy?

Checking in :)

The Sun and the Void is taking me a long time to finish but I'm determined to! Next up is Silver in the Bone which is also a biggie

Welcome, Narnia Girl & O-nigiri!

How's everyone going? I figured out why the other teams are so far ahead haha they're all doing manga!

Can manga count? That's wild

Yeah manga has been able to count the whole time. 1 point per 150 pages but still counts for the bonus rolls

And it’s all about the bonus rolls….everyone log your manga! ;)

Oooh I've already read Divine Rivals, but that book was soooo good, so I recommend it, if you're trying to figure out what to read next.

@Lenni: I just finished it, most disappointing read of 2023 :( It was one of my most hyped reads

Maddie wrote: "@Lenni: I just finished it, most disappointing read of 2023 :( It was one of my most hyped reads"

What?? Oh man, I loved that book

Yeah I saw your review lol. It was nothing like her other books, I expected more fantasy and more action. The only thing that brought it up from a 2.5 star was the ending. I hate when the ending makes me want to rate higher because it's not an accurate description of the overall book

Maddie wrote: "@Lenni: I just finished it, most disappointing read of 2023 :( It was one of my most hyped reads"

I understand that. A lot of times, if I get very excited about books, or listen to a lot of hype about them, I tend to like them less. I suppose a part of the reason I loved Divine Rivals is that I didn't know what to expect before reading.

But for a favourite author, with favourite tropes, and a favourite genre, I was expecting amazing things and it didn't deliver :(

Ah right, yeah I couldn't avoid the hype for this one. All of the insta posts and gr ratings got my hopes up, especially for a fave author

Announcing The Bonus Fairy's Special Bonus Weekend ☺

From: Now
To: Tuesday July 25th 2023 @ 00:01 (PST)
What this means: Only bonus values worth +20 points or more will be available on the Pinball Challenge for all reviews posted during this time. That means the team bonus points earned for each book will be a minimum of +20 points each.
All other rules remain unchanged.

Have fun! This could really shake things up!

Hoping to knock off some audiobooks in the car today.

Nice!

I'm finishing Sun and the Void today, and am 30% into both Unfortunately Yours and Radiant Curse

Finished Sun and the Void and will make it decently further into Unfortunately Yours today as I am driving a bit after work and want to focus it physically when I get home as well. I think I will put off Radiant Curse for a while and finish that later when my libby audiobooks aren't all due back at the same time

Part of me wants to speed through a whole bunch of manga in the last few days of the month because we need those bonus points lol

Do it! :)

I don't have any lol I might do a library trip tonight

I left my book at home this morning so not sure what I’m doing on my lunch break—that’s my prime reading time on days I work.

No worries!

I'm flying through books thank gosh, have finished Ignite Me and 25% into To Have and To Hoax. Have a bbq tonight though so I hope to make it halfway through today

Anyone else feeling like the GR search function is wonky? I looked up a book and it was showing strange alternate versions instead of the main one.

Yes, I was looking at a series, and every one was in a different language going down the list. So strange.

that happened to me as well, i was wondering what was going on, it was super weird.
