Of course that is my best Peter impression...

I'm good to start, or we can wait if that works better for you too. I have another BR starting on Monday, so I'll have 3 books going also, but I'll be more paced on that one.
What I'll probably try to do is read about +-30 pages per day. If I can do that in all 3 books I'm reading (which is 90-100pgs per day, which is usually a max for me), I can keep a good pace and make progress. Thats what I normally do when I get this many going. Do you do a set amount like that when doing multiple BR?

I’ll range around that for page count for all the books that I’m reading. We got this! 🫠🤣😂
I’ll get started on it later today. Can’t wait!

And just like the last book we read, I am not getting any notifications. I have the boxes checked and also checked my main settings (which are right also), but no luck. So, I apologize in advance if I'm slow to respond to something.
I read up to ch6. I've been curious since we finished the last one how GH would get us back into Evan's world. I like it. Glad to be back! And this seems like the start of an interesting mission different than the others.
I know! It’s super frustrating with how it doesn’t notify you now unless “notify me when people comment” is not checked. 🤦♀️🫠Awesome that you got started and you’re good with how that crazy cliffhanger in the last book was resolved. I’m even more excited to start tonight!
I got to the beginning of Chapter 18. I’m rocking and rolling on this one. It’s an interesting plot since (view spoiler)So at the end of chapter 17, Joey (view spoiler)

I just got to this spot this morning and I agree about (view spoiler)
And as for the end of ch17, holy hell I hope you are right!
Joey is very young and immature, but she is a wonderful person! I love her so much!
Choko wrote: "Joey is very young and immature, but she is a wonderful person! I love her so much!"Totally agree Choko! I love her so much especially with her FINALLY (view spoiler). 😂🤣
I get it though. She didn’t want to get close and get hurt again.
Terry wrote: "Absolutely! I love [spoilers removed]"Exactly! So opposite!
No, she didn't... All the Orphans are so damaged, it must be almost impossible to let yourself care for someone, when you have been abandoned by so many in your lifetime...
Choko wrote: "No, she didn't... All the Orphans are so damaged, it must be almost impossible to let yourself care for someone, when you have been abandoned by so many in your lifetime..."All of them. Not to be funny, but this series is an instruction guide on (view spoiler) Good grief....

I definitely agree with you both. I like also that Joey is (view spoiler)
She is! I am absolutely in love with her character! And I love that their relationship is not all milk and honey, but has a ton of bumps and obstacles as you would expect from people with their backgrounds...
Choko wrote: "Also, [spoilers removed]"Yes!! I was laughing so much with that whole plot thread.
It was fantastic because it's a great question. Is there someone who’s (view spoiler) hahaha
This was handled really well and funny. "Oh, your Mom already knows". :D LMAO

Cracking up the whole time I’m reading their parts. Very well done.
That was very unexpected!

Exactly! I'm so worried as well that (view spoiler)

Holy hell, I finished today. And made the mistake of doing it while at work.
It was another great read!
Terry wrote: "Holy hell, I finished today. And made the mistake of doing it while at work."We must have been on the same bandwidth. I also finished up this morning too! hahaha
What a finish. I kind of forgot about (view spoiler) hahaha
I love this series. I can't believe how invested I'm in with all of the characters. I see that at the end we've got another cliffhanger in where we don't know if (view spoiler)Gah!!
Choko wrote: "It was another great read!"It was!! Are you caught up with the series and the new book as well?
Ginger wrote: "Choko wrote: "It was another great read!"It was!! Are you caught up with the series and the new book as well?"
It was another terrific read! All of these have been so good. Ginger and I are not caught up yet. This book is as far as we’ve gotten, so we still have the next 2 plus the new one still to go.

We'll have to get to book #8 soon!! Let me know when you want to pick it up. I can't wait to get to some of these cliffhangers.
No, not yet... I just got to the next book and the short story after. It was called The Recital and I loved it!
Choko wrote: "No, not yet... I just got to the next book and the short story after. It was called The Recital and I loved it!"Great to hear! I read both plots for The Last Orphan (#8) and The Recital (#8.5) right after finishing this one.
I can't wait to get to both as well!

We’ll definitely have to get to book 8 soon. I’m starting a beta read now, and have another book I have to finish, but I should be able to get to it maybe the second week in May?

Works for me!! I've got a couple of book club books to get to but I'm not that slammed in May. Looking forward to it!

You still up for book 8 soon? I can get to it this week or later depending on your schedule. Wanted to check with you since I just finished up a current read.
We’ll be starting this around April 5th and please use spoilers when discussing. Happy reading and can’t wait to get back to Evan Smoak!
