This is just a place to chat, talk, & strategize. Please Post on the Main thread what your read books for points. Scores for both teams will be tracked there.

Your Teams focused Genres (based on the top 3 each). A * next to a genre is another person who had that on there top. So a genre with 2 asterisks means 3 total people on this team has that as a top genre. Remember that when this is over the top three genre's claimed will give 5 points to each person who listed them. Choose carefully as once you post, it can't be changed. Remember to post books read within 2 weeks of finishing.

Challenge will run through the end of March.

Post each book on here on the main thread, like this:

I'm reading the Tokyo Ghoul series. I need to finish it this year already! Are there any you are looking at that you want to read this month?

I am wanting to continue with Battle Angel Alita, and get back into Fruits Basket and Boys over Flowers soon-ish. But I've also been torn over several others. Anything that is not a BR is just mood reading so whatever fits my mood best. I see you have Food Wars on your TBR. if you want to start that I can see if my library has them.

I'll probably won't be able to get Food Wars! Vol. 1 this month. My library has one copy and there is already a hold.

I watched a good amount of Boys Over Flowers the show on Netflix but I couldn't get into it after a while. Are you interested in Handa-kun 1, Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You, Vol. 1, The Girl from the Other Side: Siúil, A Rún, Volume 2, or Noragami 1?

I’ll check what my library has for those on Monday :)

Ok, I'm planning to read A Curse So Dark and Lonely for fantasy (and YA?) and finish Three Nights with a Scoundrel for romance.

I'm also gonna finish Revan for sci-fi. I've got a bunch of graphic novels planned too, not sure what they might fit under. Iron Man, Captain America, Justice League, Superman, Robotech, various X-Men adjacent titles all are kinda sci-fi.

Adriana, I LOVE The Girl from the Other Side manga, I hope you like how the story carries on!

Sans, I want to read A Curse So Dark too! My local bookclub is reading it for our January pick. I'm also starting off with the Nyxia trilogy

@Sans - I'll see if I can get to it this upcoming month. I love the concept (:

Awesome!

So apparently my library doesn't have any of these. They are terrible about keeping up with manga. They get the mainstream stuff in triplicate or more but everything else takes them years to get if ever.

So I finished a book I didn't get done in 2019 so I'll review and post that soon-ish.

I've also started as my first full book read. :)

I finished a book but it's not part of a series. Should have Nyxia done today.

Great job both of you! Always great to finish a book so quickly into the New Year!

Got my first book finished.

Same. I'll post it soon-ish. I'm really slacking with my reviewing... 🤷🏻‍♀��

I am reading at least. One of two is necessary. lol.

No big rush. The reading part is the more important and enjoyable part anyways. :)

Definitely. :)

But wait I don't have to do a review in this group right?

Nope :) As long as your book is dated and marked as read on your shelves we give it to you.

But sometimes it is easier to wait and post for all challenges at once too, so you don't forget one. That is what I try to do.

True but I choose to make myself feel better and posted it here. I think I'm in another challenge in this group so I should post it there too so I don't forget. :P

Nope. Just checked. I made sure to have links to all my challenges so I wouldn't forget any. ^_^

Bookbuyer, for Song of Achilles, I am not seeing it as part of a series. Did the author mention there would be a sequel or something?

Aly wrote: "Whoo go Book!!"

Thanks! Doing okay so far. I've been listening to the HP 1 in French and have got about 1/3 of the first chapter done.

I still have chapter 2 of English and chapter 2 of French to go and 19% of A Curse So Dark and Lonely. I'm trying to not watch tv and instead listen to my audios when I don't want to read a physical. :)

That's so awesome you're reading in French.

I need to stay away from tv too lol. And fanfiction ugh

I'm not sure I would call it reading. I'm attempting. lol. It helps it's a book I know and that I'm also listening in English. I just do chapter 1 in English and then chapter 1 in French so it's nice and fresh. :P

I am 34% done with , and almost 1/2 through . I'll be starting either tonight or tomorrow.

Also listening to but that is on pause today. No way I'll have time to listen and probably not much reading today either. Busy busy day!

Aly, I've been on a fanfic kick lately too. Reading more of that than any kind of book and I need to stop.

Don’t give me ideas for doing a fanfic reading challenge lol.
