Honestly, either one works for me. I can do anything that is needed. Let me start if I stay right now. When I post my review I will just see what is needed and post it for that as I can use it for food, flowers, or beach. And I can use throne of glass for either of the ones that isn't covered as well.
Okay, I have a few of those I'm going to do for sure!If we finish that then maybe we can concentrate on just a single part and get the bonus points for the third time around, it will be limited because a couple of us will have already done those tasks, if that makes sense?
As I said, I have more reading time now that school is over.
Christina is anyone else set to read horror? We can take our time on Boundless. I still need to finish Cider House Rules. I'll probably start boundless on Tuesday.
I'll do it, I can read that Alice in Zombieland book,
Makes sense to me. We are all diverting from our original plans and reading different things and descriptions, but it's working well for us as we are all quite flexible.
Are those trees on the cover of Alice in zombieland? If so we can buddy read it Berit and I'll use it for trees on the cover.
@JackieNot at all. Things will fall into place :)
@Nikinnia
No hurry to finish Boundless since it's only us reading it and no pressure since we're in the same team
Yep the plan is only a guide and it worked out with whatever we read hehe Quite happy with that!
Looks like trees to me :-) anytime after Wednesday will work, if you want to Buddy it.
Woohoo niceI'm off to watch Jurassic world so i don't think I'll be able to finish a book tonight. Maybe tomorrow!
Don't worry about it. I still need to watch the first movie.
Mod
Aw yeah Anna has been missing for a while. It's a good thing we were able to cover the descriptions that she signed up for
Guys, I thought you'd all like to know I'm creating a partner challenge for next month in Challenge Corner as I know some of you expressed interest. Sorry for the off topic thing but I'm just so excited!
Okay tomorrow I will read a book with a car on the cover, I need to do transportation for another challenge, so that will work perfectly! Christina if you want to read the next book in the series with me, I will do that I'm enjoying it so far :-)
@BeritI'll have to see if I want to continue after I finish. I find it ok :P
The second book sounds like a repeat except different characters
Not a problem, I think I read a couple reviews that said the second book was better and faster paced than the first, so I will give it ago :-)
Nikinnia: you are in cabin five. Sadly, neither Berit or I are with you.
I'm still here you guys! Work got very hectic the past couple of days, so I haven't gotten much reading done, but I'm hoping to finish one of the books that I'm in the middle of tonight.
Okay I finished my J bookYes, Anna it is good to see you here :-)
Thanks Jackie. I wish I were on the same team as one of you. Hopefully we'll be on the same team in this group's challenge next month.
Well I'd like to be on the same team as both of you. Lol
I'm gonna attempt to finish Paper Towns now. Then I'm going to see what we still need for game 1 and I'll see what I have that fits there. :)
I think we have game 1 covered! I will finish my J book todayI think berit has completed her J and past book
Nikinnia will do horror
And Jackie will finish I
Time to play game 2 =)
Just finished Paper Towns! I'll post a review sometime tomorrow evening since I have to get up for work in like 3 hours.And awesome! I'll just take a look at the open descriptions on game 2 then!
Nice job Anna ;) only 3 hours sleep? Yikes!
@NikinniaCould we maybe reschedule Boundless to later this month? e.g. 26th? I'm swamped with buddy reads and I don't think I could add another to it for now
Hope you understand!
Yes, we can reschedule. I think I have a few coming up as well. :)
I've worked on less sleep than this before. I'll just be a little sluggish while I'm getting ready, but I'll be fine by the time I actually get there. :P
Also, I believe I'm reading The Selection next. Either that or the Mara Dyer book.
@Anna Cool! lots of descriptions open in game 2 so it could really go anywhere ;)@Nikinnia Thanks! I didn't plan too many buddy reads this month but I'm still very behind!
Girls, we only have "I" in Jumanji and horror story to complete for the first game!!!
Christina, I started the second book I'm assuming we can use it for the second J, It's like you did one in the first book and the other one in the second book, if that makes sense they are two different tasks so we can flip-flop the order, if you want to Buddy it let me know
Sorry Berit, I might pass on the second book if that's ok - it's also 400 pages on Scribd! I can't say I enjoyed the first book as much as you didI'll still do the J description though. Actually there's a novella called Just For You that's #0.5 in the series and it's about 150 pages. I don't mind doing that one :P (it's about Hemi and Reka!)

Christina I will be doing car, romance, published in 1995,I think you missed my BR I posted already :-)
I will also definitely do hunt and a horror , And I'm definitely reading another book that starts with a A
I can start Alice in Zombieland for the horror one on the first game when I get home!
Christina not a problemI will get car and romance cover today, and then finish that J Book finished tomorrow. 400 pages okay I'll put that down :-)
I just want to say I agree with you on what you posted in the main thread. This is why we have a Christina who has so graciously taken the task of group leader to update our progress. I don't think you were rude at all. Honestly, some of these questions about what counts for stuff on covers are very repetitive. I would understand if everyone were blind or couldn't see pictures on the computer for some odd reason but I'm sure people can use good judgment.
Thank you! Also people are just showing her books and asking her what categories they fit into, the whole point of this is to figure that out on your own, or with the help of your team!
Exactly! I understand maybe when I do it but even I don't feel like I do it as often unless I am unsure of whether it fits into a cover category. When I ask about a book it is usually because the spaces left are only covered categories. And the complaining about missing team members is annoying. Sarah does her best but she can't track down everyone. You have to compensate for things like that. Anna had a busy week at work but we didn't complain about it at all we just worked around it.
