message 301: by Tati (new)

Tati What were you thinking of reading for game? And for water?


message 302: by Danielle ♥ (new)

Danielle ♥ (readwithmedani) | 2410 comments Okay, don't put it off for too long! We're trying to finish round one to move to round two! :)

Water is very likely to be Sea Glass which is book 2 of the glass series by Maria V Snyder. I'm considering 3 books for Games and 2 are low interest and the other is the 4th book of the series.

Oh and I have one other I might read for games but it's also a third book.

Would you have to read book one first? Because I think that may take too much time, unless book one counts for a category too...

I think it will take too much time to read a book or two that doesn't count for the challenge to get to the book in the series that does count ...


message 307: by Edit~A (new)

Edit~A (edit-a) | 4259 comments I'm currently reading my last book, then I'll take one of those descriptions that are not done yet, probably tomorrow? Who has more than 1description left, please tell me which one you don't want to read, and I'll take that from you:)


message 308: by Tati (new)

Tati Have you read the first one in the glass series?

And, if you'd like, I have some suggestions for game

How about you take something from Bookbuyer? She is furthest behind. Tati took her "animal" category already, thanks Tati!

Bookbuyer, would you like to give a category to Edita? Which one?

That's what I'm checking now. So far the one book has several categories it can fit into. So I'm expecting the others will as well. Especially since I tend to read a lot of fantasy and romance novels and those are two of the descriptions in and of them-self..


message 311: by Edit~A (new)

Edit~A (edit-a) | 4259 comments Do those books not match to our descriptions? Even for round 2?

The romance one has been finished already, but Jessica has not finished her book for Fantasy. Can you fit that book into one of your own descriptions/categories below? If not, we can ask Jessica to give you her Fantasy description, and she can take one of yours.

- published in 1995
- "game/play" in the title
- water on the cover

In the mean time, work to read Dead Ice as quick as you can!

Danielle ♥ (readwithmedani) | 2410 comments Edit~A wrote: "Do those books not match to our descriptions? Even for round 2?"

They would fit in round 2 but we're not even close to finishing round 1 so I think we should worry about finishing round 1 first.


message 314: by Edit~A (new)

Edit~A (edit-a) | 4259 comments Of course, no problem, just let me know now, so I can find a book ASAP, thanks :)

Are you totally done, Edita? You can take my "House on the cover" if you wish! Or ask Bookbuyer which one of hers she'll let you take!


message 316: by Edit~A (new)

Edit~A (edit-a) | 4259 comments *know not now :D

And yeah I know, let's just keep it in mind, for now Bookbuyer read the one you can, and the ones that are part of series tell us, and we will take those descriptions, if it's ok for you, so we can finish Round 1

KK. Can you take Game/Play for me then. It's the one that causing the most difficulty right now and if Jessica doesn't get to her fantasy description I'm very likely to be able to fit a book into that one if need be.


message 318: by Edit~A (new)

Edit~A (edit-a) | 4259 comments Tbh Danielle this last one is hard to read, but it finally starts to get interesting, hopefully... So I'm not completely done yet :)
But yeah if you want I can take it no problem :D

Did you finish What I Thought Was True for "beach" Edita?

Danielle ♥ (readwithmedani) | 2410 comments Okay just checking :) You can take my "house on the cover" or Bookbuyer's "'game/play' in the title" or both if you're quick ;)

@Jessica - give us an update regarding your "fantasy" book, please! :)

Speaking of these are the descriptions we still need to do according to the "review" thread:



Part 1 - The beginning!


- Read a book by an author, or with a character who’s name starts with the letter ‘A’ (for Alan)
- Read a book with soil/earth/ digging equipment/ something buried, or a box or trunk on the cover.
- Pick a playing piece – read a book with an animal on the cover
- Read a book by an author, or with a character called ‘Sarah’

Part 2 – 26 years later…


- Read a book with a house on the cover (or in the title)
- Watch out for those monkeys! Distract them by reading a book with food on the cover!
- What year is it? Read a book published in 1995.
- I’ve been in Jumanji! Read a book with the word 'game' or 'play' in the title.

Part 3 – Time to play the game:


- Watch out for the hunter! Read a book with the words ‘hunter/hunted/hunt’ in the title. (?)
- We lost the game! Read a book in which someone goes missing.
- Help! I’m turning into a monkey! Read a book starting with one of your teammates initials to save them! (Each teammate’s initial can only be used once!)
- There be a monsoon in your lagoon! Read a book with water or rain on the cover (or in the title)
- The floor is quicker than the sand. Read a book with a beach on the cover, or set at the beach.
- Need a hand? We each have 8! Read a fantasy story.

Part 4 – The end


- Finish the game! Read books whose titles begin with 
J
U
A
N
J

Jessica might not be around again until the weekend as she doesn't always get a chance to come onto goodreads during the week. She's most likely reading quietly though ☺

Tati Like I said, I'm working on the missing person description (a book which also fits the game description, if anyone'd like to read it as well)

Good catch! Edita, if you want to Buddy Read The Lying Game (The Lying Game, #1) by Sara Shepard with Tati, we can use that for Bookbuyer's "game" & an extra buddy read point!

Just so we have an idea and since I'm relatively certain now about my books put me down for Circus of the Damned Circus of the Damned (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #3) by Laurell K. Hamilton by Laurell K Hamilton for 1995 and water is definitely going to be Sea Glass now.

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments She's cute! She looks a bit like mine from what I can see if the pic. Mine a purebred Havenese although she apparently has some genetic defect that makes her look more like a spitz or chihuahua. Her names Golden although I often call her Goose/Goosie

Awww how adorable :) I just love her ears! And she does look much more like a long haired chihuahua/spitz/pomeranian or something, not a Havenese! She is much cuter than the average Havenese though :) Spitz always look like they're smiling, and she looks like she is smiling!

Thanks I have some really cute photos of her in my phone but it's hard to post them in at least two though she has a bandanna on. :P

Oh and her ears are sooooooooo soft. But they also get a lot of food in them if she/we aren't careful so I try to trim her 'mane' and ear hair every once in a while. :P
