That's great, Bee! I'm so glad you finally caught up with your reading pace

Maybe you will find the time this month too - you're in my team again (because you asked for it) and I'm counting on you to get us those numbers!

Thank you Lizzie I wanted to share with you coz you're the one I'd been whining to before and you were so sweet and supportive always

And a big congratulations on your own 10k pages!!! Woohoo! you like, ran over the books like a bulldozer

Looking at the counts now, I think I managed to do quite well 🙈 I know I'm never gonna be bulldozing like some of you guys but it's so much better than what I'd expected of myself

And I'm also very happy that I'm with you again thank you for keeping me in!

I'll try to contribute as much as I can it's just that I have exams coming up next month, so a lot of my time now is gonna go to studying and revising 😅

But since my speed has increased a lot recently, I'm hoping that I can still keep it up 🙈

Yeah they’re usually duds but you can get lucky with a few. I’m not paying for KU anymore- I had it for the 3 month free trial & since I have Prime, I keep looking to see if anything interesting lands up. I’m reading one right now called The Last Party. It’s quite good so far!

How do you decide what’s good? Do you read the blurb or look up reviews on GR?

How was your experience with KU? I've considered it a lot of times, but ultimately never went for it. Abhi to I have lots of books in stock that I need to finish first, that's why I'm keeping away from all other subscriptions I also check out Prime reading from time to time, they do have good ones available if you can train your eyes to catch them

Currently I have 7 books checked out there, but since they don't have a due date, I'm in no hurry to get to them 😅

My iPhone's built in books app is the best. I have tried all other book apps and hated them all.

Kindle app was acting very strange for me, idk why, when I put dark mode on, the text vanished

@b: Wow, that's weird Did you try updating the app? Maybe it was a buggy version?

I usually only read my amazon books on the Kindle app bcz I like to keep my personal library separate, but the app itself seems to be quite stable and user friendly

Finally finished and updated drive and post!

Hopefully can do better in May

How did you like At Grave's End? I got that one recently, I thought I might read it in Apr but then change of plans happened

The whole series is 5 🌟 for me. I’ve probably reread the series 3-4 times now 😂 Would recommend reading it if you can in May.

Oh wow, it's clearly a favourite for you! I didn't realise you were rereading. I found the book interesting so I got it, but no one I know has read it so I was hoping for some feedback 😅 I have exams coming up in June so I'm trying not to start any series now, even though I have several lined up

Maybe in Jul-Aug I will, once I'm done and dusted 😌

Arey yaar, my apps are always up to date, let me show you what this book looks like when I open it on Kindle (mind you, if I open it on another reading app it's fine), and some other books are fine when I open on Kindle, so idk what the issue is, maybe its because I didnt buy them directly from Amazon and downloaded them from the internet? I'm not really bothered about it though, i'm happy reading on my Books app, it's much better.

Before you ask me to increase the brightness, let me tell you, brightness is on full.
