I would give you my round two "trees," but I only have two hours of Joyride left, might as well finish. It is so dull though - I feel like they just keep repeating how important her family is to her etc etc.

No, I can use for trees, fantasy, game.There other descriptions that work (romance, animal on the cover), but I've already done them. I do have books that would fit the soil description, and it would be no problem for me to start one of them immediately after this.
Just tell me what you need me to read and I'll jump on it :)

Okay go ahead and use that for my round 2 "game" - I'll give up The Lying Game (wasn't really looking forward to it anyways)

Morning, girls!I'm done with
, will be posting my review soonish. As I don't know if anyone needs help, I'll be reading books for descriptions that I haven't read and they can go toward a third game.
Just checked my spreadsheet, and we're 11 descriptions away from finishing the second game! Let's do it!

Tati's gonna finish Game/Round Three for us single-handed!!! ;);)
If only I could LOL! I've already done over half the board
Tati wrote: "If only I could LOL! I've already done over half the board"Are you on a summer break? Do you work and/or school?
No summer break for me, I work full time
Tati wrote: "No summer break for me, I work full time"Well kudos to you for reading so much and working full time!
Tati, A is done already for Round 2 I mean, I just haven't written the review yet, I'll write it today and tomorrow with Heir of fire's review
Edit~A wrote: "Tati, A is done already for Round 2 I mean, I just haven't written the review yet, I'll write it today and tomorrow with Heir of fire's review"I think Tati meant "A" for round three.
Yep, Danielle is right!All I'm reading now is toward game 3, as I'm done with my descriptions for game 2. I mean, I'll keep reading anyway, so might as well read books that fit the game.
Wrote it anyway, so we can see what is left there!I'm glad that you were part of our team Tati!!
How I feel right now:
Tati wrote: "How I feel right now:"
LOL. I've felt that way once or twice despite owning over 2K books. I have several newer books though and old ones I haven't read in awhile so thank god it hasn't been a real issue this challenge. :P
I have over 300 books to choose from on my Kindle, but I really, really don't know what to read next...
I'm jealous of you girls :( I want to read an actual book too, not an ebook, but they don't sell contemporary literature fictions in English here :( And I have to wait a month for shipping if I order it :/ You are all so lucky!
I only read ebooks these days... I only buy hard copies of non-fiction, I don't have where to put those books anymore (not to mention they're ridiculously expensive here and I'm not good at waiting for shipping or translations)
Tati wrote: "I have over 300 books to choose from on my Kindle, but I really, really don't know what to read next..."You could always do eenie meanie mieni mo (sp? lol).
Me too!!! I'm to impatient to wait! And I'm spontaneous! I just read what I feel in that moment!

I live within a mile of a chapters (Canada's biggest bookstore chain) and have several quick options for online. ^-^

I only read them when I desperate! I'm glad I'm not desperate often though. >.< Glad you enjoy them. :)

Edit~A wrote: "You make me cry bookbuyer!!! You are a meanie!!! LOL"lol. Sorry. I shall send you good wishes and luck to make up for it. :P
I started reading them seriously when I lived in England for a year. Because I knew I wouldn't be staying there, I couldn't buy physical books, as I wouldn't be able to bring them with me when I left. At first, I read on my iPod, but I've since upgraded to a Kindle, which I now carry literally everywhere
I don't have a choice but to read ebooks lol or i print pdfs :/ only when my eyes hurt!

I'll have to just bring a couple of paperbacks and download a ton of ebooks. :(
When I went to Florida this year I had a whole suitcase of just books and then some. lol. Can't do that again. >.<
My biggest issues with books here in Brazil are:1. Books are far too expensive here.
2. Because Brazilians are not big readers (average of 4 books a year, that's depressing), there is not a lot of variety of books to choose from. I mean, when I went to a bookstore in London (Waterstone's, I think), that had an entire floor dedicated to fantasy books, I was astonished. Here, if I'm lucky, there are 4 shelves of fantasy books to choose from

O.o Our books are relatively cheap. Average paperback is $8-12 dollars hardback is $20-30 dollars. And apparently according to a study I just found we average 17 books a year! That's still low in my opinion. http://www.pch.gc.ca/eng/129079711412...
Oh, and I'll be reading
for that water description and
for the teammate's initialThese will go to Game 3, so don't worry if you're reading those two descriptions for Game 2 :)
Omg, so I'm not the only one, here is the same Tati!!!

Cool cool. :)
Edit~A wrote: "Omg, so I'm not the only one, here is the same Tati!!!"You guys seem to have the equivalent of our french books. Few and far between. They don't really change pricing wise but they are darn hard to find.
Books here are a mix of paperback and hardback (soft cover, but decent paper), and they cost around U$ 20-30.In dollars, it's not much, but in our currency, it's more than I'm willing to pay, that's for sure! Thankfully, Amazon has started operating here, so I can get decent-priced books from them
And bookstores in England (can't say anything about American bookstores, have never been in one) play dirty: those buy 3, pay 2 sales are just too tempting to pass up
Same here, here it's like 15$-and more, but in our currency it's expensive.
