Oh oops! I don't know why I thought it was, I even have a spreadsheet of my own with the categories lol. Oh well, YA works too :D

I got a physical arc of War Girls a few weeks ago so I need to sit down and finally read it, I need to get my review up before it gets published! So yay to this challenge for giving me a kick in the butt.

May (honeyedblood) | 30 comments Real talk, having to decide beforehand what to read is totally going to put me into a slump, but I’ll probably get to one book this week! I’ll definitely keep the extra points in mind though

Maritza (spanishwhispers) | 2284 comments Denial (Careless Whispers, #1) by Lisa Renee Jones Probably read one book as I have a few more to finish off that I had started.

yeah same, I don't understand how everyone else can just say beforehand already which 3-8 books they're going to read lol! I'm just like ?!?!?!!? I'm such a mood reader, this doesn't make sense to me at all x)

I did start this version of HP3 tonight but I don't know which physical or ebook I'm going to start once I get some time (maybe when traveling, but I might be too tired)

I already would have chosen one of my library books to read if I weren't traveling Tues-Thurs, but I made the decision not to bring a book along and just read something on my phone if I feel like it and lbr, I will quite surely end up buying one book at the very least 😅


message 13: by Shelby (new)

Shelby (stang_lee) | 2035 comments For those of us (myself included) who are absolute mood readers, my recommendation would be to just make sure you're posting your completed books as quickly as possible. That way we can have as accurate a running total as possible so as we get closer to the end of the week we can see if we need to beef up our totals or not.

I will keep a weekly running total HERE with covers. I'll make sure to update it each night so we know we're not falling behind.


message 14: by JanEyre9 (last edited Oct 11, 2019 08:33AM) (new)

JanEyre9 hey! I'm planning to read 4 books. There's a chance I can get 5 done but one of the books is a longer audio

Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt - Sin Bingo for Envy

The Trick by Emanuel Bergmann - Sloth ( On my TBR since July 2017)

Mary Poppins Opens the Door by P.L. Travers Envy (YA)

Beyond the Deepwoods (The Edge Chronicles The Twig Saga #1; The Edge Chronicles #4) by Paul Stewart Envy (green and YA - could be Bingo if anyone else has read it this year)


message 15: by Sophie (new)

Sophie | 183 comments I finished my first book, I think I post that here?

Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson Sin bingo. Cover: Green, YA, read by Lexi from Team Acedia (45.6 for pages rounded up to 46 + 7 bingo points =53 points)


message 16: by JanEyre9 (new)

JanEyre9 Do we enter read books on the SS also or do the captains do that?


message 17: by JanEyre9 (new)

JanEyre9 Thanks!

I am such a mood reader too. However these are the books I have BR's for this week.


Mamacita aka MawMaw  (mamawantsbedtimestory) | 441 comments I think it's a great idea to see how many books peeps plan on reading so we can plan accordingly. There will be times for me that I may but be able to read as much as planned & weeks that I may want to read more than usual. I will Def hut ya'll up to let you know & keep you in the loop. I finished book this week but it shouldn't count as I started reading it b4 the challenge started. I just got behind on account of a migraine.


message 20: by JanEyre9 (new)

JanEyre9 Do books need to be finished weekly? Like if I start a book today does it have to be finished by Sunday or can I take my time reading certain books as long as it's finished during the timeframe of this challenge?


message 21: by JanEyre9 (new)

JanEyre9 Thanks!


Mamacita aka MawMaw  (mamawantsbedtimestory) | 441 comments Finished both my books.
SS will be updated once I have my answer to a question I posted on Sinful a Chat. I'm just curious about the Lust criteria. If the cover doesn't qualify, we'll J.R. Ward is one of my favorite authors.


Mamacita aka MawMaw  (mamawantsbedtimestory) | 441 comments Good to know. I get more points to count it as Wrath Cover color.

Mama 2 Books Completed & SS updated.


Mamacita aka MawMaw  (mamawantsbedtimestory) | 441 comments Actually I think I did it all wrong. The cover color for Wrath is different than the pages I calculated. I can use it as Lust Sin Bingo tho. So should I change the edition?


Mamacita aka MawMaw  (mamawantsbedtimestory) | 441 comments OK. So is that fixed? But that cover is more orangish. But it will Def count for guilty pleasure.


message 26: by Sophie (last edited Oct 16, 2019 10:20AM) (new)

Sophie | 183 comments 1. The Goblin Emperor (The Goblin Emperor, #1) by Katherine Addison would this count as one of the colors? If not, it's been on my tbr for 2+ years

2. Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia YA

3. Unquiet Land (Elemental Blessings, #4) by Sharon Shinn I don't think this one works for any colors either so I'll say YA as well

Possibly:
4. Legion The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds (Legion, #1-3) by Brandon Sanderson Top shelf contemporary

5. Into the Crooked Place (Into the Crooked Place, #1) by Alexandra Christo blue cover


message 27: by Ashley (new)

Ashley (itsmedaisy) | 279 comments For this week I plan on

Wilder Girls by Rory Power , BOM, Envy Sin Bingo

Prince of Fools (The Red Queen's War, #1) by Mark Lawrence , Sloth Sin Bingo

And if we need extra books, I will read a shorter one at the end of the week, or I plan on reading Ninth House (Alex Stern, #1) by Leigh Bardugo , but not sure if I'll be able to finish that one this week, Vanity genre contemporary


message 28: by May (new)

May (honeyedblood) | 30 comments Hello! Still a mood reader, and still terribly indecisive (I’m so sorry for my flighty brain) but I’m a little more than halfway through Serpent & Dove, and so I’ll likely be able to fit in two books this next week!


message 29: by May (new)

May (honeyedblood) | 30 comments Also @Sophie, I’m sorry but I’m 90% sure that Gods of Jade and Shadow is an adult fantasy book.


message 30: by JanEyre9 (last edited Oct 14, 2019 05:54AM) (new)

JanEyre9 For this week I plan to read 4 books, I will update the sins they work for tomorrow

At first I didn't know if I was going to read Ninth House, it really sounded kind of different from what I usually read, but it's Leigh so I figure it has to be good!

I agree with you on that! I was honestly SO looking forward to King of Scars because I loved Nikolai so much, but it was definitely missing something for me. I did still like it of course, but didn't LOVE it like I was expecting to


message 34: by Christina (new)

Christina (chrissy__) | 3102 comments I started two new books tonight even though I already have several on the go already, but I'm kinda taking part in booksandlala's spookathon this week :D

I'll definitely finish The Last Town (probably won't work for cover colour?) which is the last part of the Wayward Pines trilogy!

and then I might finish The Arrangement (still haven't heard back about cover colour), Undead Girl Gang (blue cover), and The Turn of the Screw (probably won't work for anything but need for popsugar and works for spookathon).
I probably won't be able to finish all of them but definitely some.

Mamacita aka MawMaw  (mamawantsbedtimestory) | 441 comments Well if they deem black/orange, it will qualify Gluttony on page count.


Mamacita aka MawMaw  (mamawantsbedtimestory) | 441 comments I think of it more as black but they are calling it like espresso.
