Checking in!

Hi yall! Checking in(:

Hello! checking in!

Hi all!

Here to be the annoying younger brother who saves the day!

Got you all checked in!

I'm hoping to clear off some stuff added to my shelves this year (and retry buddy reads I failed to get to), so if anyone wants to buddy read any of the below books during the challenge for extra points, let me know and I can set up threads!






Series:

I'd love to do Ms Mebel! There are others would like to do but my library has longggg holds for most of them unfortunately 😭 i love Rachel Harrison but the only one i haven't read is Kiss Slay Replay and it's got like 3 months of holds 🤣

I'm open to the Jack Ryan series by Tom Clancy. I need to start with book 1 though. I've been meaning to read that series for a while.

Long library holds are the worst! When would you want to read Ms. Mebel? I can do any day so just let me know when works for you.

Which order would you want to read them? Publication order or chronological order?

The chronological order series is the default on Goodreads which is why The Hunt for Red October shows as book 3 even though it was the first book published.

Chronological - https://www.goodreads.com/series/4907...
Publication - https://www.goodreads.com/series/1717...

Hmmm...I'd like the publication order first. Does that work for you?

Publication order works for me! When do you want to start? I own the first few books in the series already so can start whenever works for you.

I have 3ish i need to read so do you want to shoot for maybe a week from today?

I don't think I'll be able to start for a couple of days, but I'm good whenever you want to start.

Works for me, here's the thread!

I'd love to buddy &

I'm pretty open on dates, just sick right now so I probably can't start for a few days (hopefully better tomorrow or next day)!

I set up a thread with someone already for Most Likely to Murder starting on the 15th so definitely join in for that one.

For What Happened to Those Girls, how about the 18th? I set up a few for next week and the following week so don't want to overload.

sounds perfect! still down with the flu today (ugh)
so I'll look for the threads in a day or two! Yay!

Hope you feel better soon, Trisha!!

Oh no, feel better soon!

Here's the thread for the other book.

Hmm, I just noticed that not all the seven parts have the same distribution in the number of tasks to complete. But regardless, every completed part will earn 5 bonus points.

Given this, I was wondering if perhaps we can also prioritise completing parts that have fewer tasks (like Part 3 and 7, which have only 12 and 15 tasks respectively) alongside parts that have a lot of the other tasks completed for already (like Part 1, where we've already posted for 7 of the 22 tasks)? Or is our current system fine as it is?

I'm good with either. I usually just read a book and then see where it fits. The last couple that I've read, I scrolled to the bottom and worked my way up to see where it fits. I usually try to grab the harder tasks if possible.

i'm fine with whatever. I too read what i want and then try to find a task it fits after the fact.

Just finished my Romantasy ARC that's due soon, now to get going on my first buddy read. Whoop!

Let's go

Adding Megan to the team everyone!

I have quite a few to add - just haven't gotten to it yet but I promise I will today 😅

Yay Elizabeth! I see your reviews! Go Go Go!

I should have at least one more finished today!

I just started in order to get our lovely bonus points as it is African Non-Fiction!!
