Yay I got approved for Kody Keplingers Lying Out Loud on netgalley. I will definitely be reading that next month! Very excited :)
I'll do about 15-20 books. I agree that we should do the part 1 first. That way we are focused and not all over the place

There are 10 each in the first 3 parts, and 7 in the final one, so 37 in total ☺
Berit wrote: "So the primary goal is to complete all descriptions, let's try it at least twice!"I think the whole team can manage 74 books :)
I will be reading 20-30 books for this challenge.

Could someone copy-paste the Jumanji topics here so we can start placing books in categories?

Books with trees on the cover

that list covers most of the categories in part 1
Love all the list! I think I am better at filling in whatever needs to be filled in, so if you all have preferences, I can pick up whatever is left :-)
I will go through the list when I get home
Here's what I can read for part 1-Bully- 13 Reason's why
"A"- Anna and the French Kiss
Soil- Holes
Shoes- Vivian at the End of the World
Boarding school- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Animal- The Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe
Sarah- This Lullaby
B,A,T- My Heart and Other Black Holes
Trees- Speak
I can usually read a book in one day to one day and a half. I'm versatile so whatever description I'm assigned I'm ok with. Then I will work to help complete other categories.
I'm hoping to read 15 to 20 books for the challenge. I'm not sure what titles yet though. I'll post what I'm reading for each section after I've figured it out!
I will compile A list of the book and categories people are reading
Jackie I see a lot of good fits on your to read list.
Yes, I will go through it and see what I can do. What were you thinking Looks good?
So are we focusing on what we can read for part 1 now or should we post for all parts? Also how long are we giving ourselves to complete part 1 as a team?
Let's focus on part one right now and then continue with the rest. How about a week for part one? If we have a list compiled for part one we can start right away. Then, we can start compiling lists for the rest of the parts.
I don't think it is going to take an entire week, there are 5 of us, and only 10 descriptions.
Here's a list for you Jackie. Only one of them is not on scribd, and I'm still searching for one to fit the soil description- Bully- Hate list or 13 reasons why
"A"- All the Rage(not on scribd)
Shoes- 99 days or Unbelievable
Soil-
Boarding school- The Ruby Circle
Sarah- Along For The Ride
B,A,T- The Distance between us
Trees- Bridge to Terabithia
Animal- The Raven Boys
I agree Berit. We should get through the parts quickly
Quick question. Do any of you know if The Selection by Kiera Cass takes place in another world? I can't find the setting anywhere online, and I have it out from the library right now, so I'd like to be able to apply it to this challenge if I can.
No it takes place in America, I'll try to think of what you can fit that into :-) amazing series!
Here are my books for Part 1Bully - Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver
"A" - Sisterhood Everlasting by Ann Brashares
Shoes - The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen
Boarding School - Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld
Animal - The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer
B,A,T - The Retribution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
Other World -
If The Selection takes place in another world, I'll add that to my Part 1 books. If not, I'll just stick with the six I've got now.
Oooh okay. I'll try and find a place to fit it in for a different part. Six books is probably a good limit for me for each part anyway since I'll be reading around my weird work schedule.
Oh wow it stinks being on the other side of the universe. You guys are active during my day time :P
As in a week, I meant five days. Sorry, I am still on a five day school week. :-)
Awww Christina. :(What time is it there now?
The Selection can be counted in part 2 or 3 for romance or 800 pages
Okay, I will compile a list for part one of who is reading which description. Anna, you can use the selection for a book set after 2049.
By the way, does anybody mind if I compiled a list or would somebody else like to do that? I don't want to seem too bossy or like I am taking over everything, I just want us to have a game plan for when the challenge starts.
I think we need to look at all the descriptions as a whole rather than parts in order because it would be limiting haha. This tougher than it looks!
It's midday now but I'm on my lunch break so I'm checking goodreads haha ;) I'm usually active from 6pm
Jackie I don't mind you compiling the list. You know what I'm reading from the list compiled before ;)
Here is my deal, the first week of June, I'm going to be a little limited, I'm doing a challenge and I need to read the books from the other team, but I'm sure I can fit them in somewhere. After that
LOL! I got cut off, after that I will do whatever, you all need!
Okay, once I have a list if there are any issues please let me know.
Should be no issues if we can actually fit the books in :) some descriptions are difficult
I noticed one where the title needs "play" or "game" and Jackie one of your books fits it perfectly. Wow 14 hours. Are you on PST?
