I will post my list for part 2 and 3 tomorrow. @Christina we probably need to change the date for boundless to fit for Part 3.
Christina, are you talking about the revenge playbook?
LOL! We will make it fit ;-) also you can give me the Tuffys after that :-) actually I'm 17 hours behind you, it is still light outside on Tuesday :-)
I'm compiling my lists for part 2 and 3 and the final JUMANJI spell out. I'll probably post them sometime tomorrow evening if I don't get them done tonight, but it won't be until late since I work until 5:00, and then I'm going out to see one of my favorite singers with my sister and a friend.
Oh! And for anyone interested in reading a horror story for part two, I highly recommend The Merciless by Agi Vega and Evil Librarian by Michelle Knudsen. Both are fantastic reads.
Nikinnia I don't mind doing boundless later in the month.
Ok Christina. coolI think the only category I'll have a problem with is horror. I'm genuinely scared. lol
Here are my lists for parts 2 and 3! I'm tackling five books for each part. I'll post my list for Part 4 tomorrow!Part 2
House - The Ruining by Anna Collomore
Food - Skinny by Ibi Kaslik
Horror - Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter
800 pages – TLOS 2: A Grim Warning and TLOS 3: The Enchantress Returns by Chris Colfer (This adds up to 900+ pages, so I figured I'd wipe out the series and complete part of the challenge!)
Part 3
"R" - Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
Missing Person - Paper Towns by John Green
Teammate’s Initial - The Best Night of Your (Pathetic) Life by Tara Altebrando (chose to save Berit on this one)
Water - Monstrous Beauty by Elizabeth Fama (the girl on the cover is underwater, so I think it counts)
Romance - The Selection by Kiera Cass
Nice list annaSame nikinnia. I don't do horror stories.. Haha I struggled through Asylum which was a GBR a few months back. I couldn't stand the pictures so I listened to the audio book and I was still creeped out
Mod
You can count it for any of the category's that it matches. If it fits more than 1, then more than 1 player from the team could use it to complete different descriptions. If it only fits one description, then you can still have up to 4 members of the team read it and use it for the same description ☺
I just got home and have access to a desktop computer. Let's see how your books fit! I can see that we can cover the descriptions at least 2-3 times over based on the books you girls have pledged to read :)
@Jackie. Sorry I couldn't help myself doing the puzzle of putting everyone's books together. I assumed you're buddying Legend because I didn't know where else to put itIt looks like some descriptions are harder to complete than others but I managed to do 1-2 per description
It's a good thing we all have a different initial!
I will do some searching for the descriptions we do not have covered :-)
I'll be taking is easier in june so ill look at books to fill in the spaces too :)

As a team we need to do all categories on the list above, as many times as possible :-)
Heya Kysa. You can do any book,just let me know and I'll try and fit it into the puzzle so we can maximise our points :)
It looks like the last two things we need to add on to complete every part of the challenge is a book with a beach on the cover/set at the beach and the second "J" in Jumanji, so it looks like we're on the right track to going into the challenge with a full game plan!
Anna, what time zone are you in? I think I found a beach book, On the Island.
I'll take the second J I will read Just One Day
I can do Just Listen for J, and The Summer Girls for beach
LOL! I think we were posting at the same time :-)
I'm EST. I also have a beach book. It's The Last Summer (of You & Me) by Ann Brashares.
Hmm we can still complete spelling jumanji twice right?
Yes, that will be the goal, or even more ;-)
I'll try and add another book or two for the second spelling of Jumanji. I'll just look through what I already have at home from my TBR.
Lol. Yes we did! Yes, let's buddy read that one. I'm sure our team will complete the board multiple times so that should help!
Sounds good! Middle of June would be fabulous! Christina when did you want to do Miss Mayhem?
I'll take another "I" in Jumanji with The Innocents by Lili Peloquin. That'll give me an even 20 books for the challenge, and I should probably limit myself to that much with my work schedule. But I'll try to add more books depending on when I finish what I've already committed to.
Berit - Can we start around 7th June? If you can't do a book that has been listed make sure to let us know early so we can put in a backup ;)
Great Berit. I'll get Sarah to change the date for that thread. The 16th ok with you?Sounds perfect Anna!
Christina I'll post my part 3 and 4 books tomorrow so that I can fill in if need be.
Sorry Berit. Can we do the 20th? I have another br on the 16th.
@Berit Did you still want to do The Island? I wasn't sure if you were suggesting it or planning to read it ;)Updated list
And all those dates will work :-), I making the books fit,, So I can get to both challenges!
Sorry another book to add BAT and title Bear To You
