How is everyone? Is your new year off to a good start? I'm reading three books right now, hoping to finish two if them by the end of the week. I have to get everything ready for classes next week, so hopefully I can get it done.

Hope your reading is going well Courtney! :D
I'm currently reading my third and fourth book.
Thanks, Bookbuyer! I'm enjoying all of them pretty well, so I think it's good. :)Are you liking those two? You're on a roll so far, good job!
C P wrote: "Thanks, Bookbuyer! I'm enjoying all of them pretty well, so I think it's good. :)Are you liking those two? You're on a roll so far, good job!"
Glad to hear that you are enjoying your books. ^-^
I'm reading a bit slower now after Frostblood. But so far the two books are quite good. I had initial reservations about The Pharaoh's Daughter once I saw it was Biblical fiction. But my doubts have mostly abated and I'm enjoyed the Egyptian aspect of it. :)
I'm reading A List of Cages right now and it's breaking my heart. I definitely picked some emtionally heavy books to start out the year.
This month is gonna be a lot more difficult than I anticipated, hopefully, next month is better! :)
Hope everything goes well, Nalz! Planning classes will be a bit crazy for me the next few days. Hopefully all goes well.
The holidays put me way behind this year, and I just realized I never put in my own playlist. I'm assuming that means I need to follow CP's list, but does that mean I still need to pick 3 songs (current favorite, original favorite and year I was born)?
You can still add a playlist, Kaylin. Or you can use mine (without having to replace any). Either way is fine. :)
Courtney, many good wishes too the both of us! ^.^
I haven't had much of a chance to read or check in, I have been super busy! I just finished my second book for the challenge. I have some library books I need to finish that I don't think will fit this challenge. :( But I will try to hurry through them so I can continue.Good Luck with everything Nalz!
I hope you are enjoying A List of Cages Courtney!
Bookbuyer you are doing awesome, glad you are enjoying The Pharaoh's Daughter.
Hope everyone else's reading is going well!
I hope you'll be able to fit some of those library books into the challenge! I did really enjoy A List of Cages, just finished yesterday. It was a really heartbreaking but hopeful story.

If anybody would like to BR any of the below, let me know! :)
Kaylin, I'm interested in City of Thieves. When were you planning to read that one? I might be able to fit that in this month.
Hope you enjoy it! I'm hoping to finish off another two by the end of the week.
I'm on my 8th book of the month (But only 5 counted for the challenge).I'm juggling a lot of books right now
so I don't know when I'll finish one. That's the biggest problem when you are participating in multiple challenges. :/
Very true. And I've slowed down with how many books I let myself read at once. Three is usually as many as I can do now. Anything more and I just give myself a headache. I hope you're enjoying them though, Bookbuyer! And I hope you can get some finished soon.
Some of them are good. I'm really not enjoying The Diviners though. If there were another option I would DNF it right now. :(
I think I started that one and didn't enjoy it. What are you reading it for?
C P wrote: "I think I started that one and didn't enjoy it. What are you reading it for?"Crazy For Young Adult Books; Blind Date
It was the only one my partner and I could find that had the most points and now my partner has already started it so I don't want to DNF it. :/
Ah, that makes sense. How far have you gotten? Maybe it'll get better.
C P wrote: "Ah, that makes sense. How far have you gotten? Maybe it'll get better."I have the paperback and after the first page I knew that I wouldn't like it so I'm trying the audiobook. I'm 5 minutes into 18 hours. :/

I know what you mean about multiple challenges Bookbuyer! You get stretched kind of thin. I'm curious to see what you think of Heartless. I really didn't like it but so many people do, I guess it's just my taste.

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't like it.
I haven't had a chance to start it yet but I'm going in with high hopes so I really hope I like it. :)
