Joi | 972 comments Heyyyyyyyyyyyy.! I'm here. Are you all ready to start planning?


message 14: by Joi (last edited May 26, 2015 08:15PM) (new)

Joi | 972 comments So we have two options. We can either all pick one that we want to read....and then randomize the unpicked ones....or we can randomize the whole thing. I plan on creating a Google spreadsheet to keep track of our plans and what not.

Here is part 1 that we have to choose from.
- Read a book about bullying.
- Read a book by an author, or with a character who’s name starts with the letter ‘A’ (for Alan)
- Book with shoes or trainers on the cover
- Read a book with soil/earth/ digging equipment/ something buried, or a box or trunk on the cover.
- Read a book set in a boarding school
- 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’
- Winged things… read a book with the letters ‘B’, ‘A’, and ‘T’ in the title
- Read a book set in another world
- In the Jungle you must wait… read a book with trees on the cover.

If we decide to do it randomly, we can use all of them together and pick from that number.

Anna | 86 comments Q I have vision problems so the ones that have to do with bookcovers I'd rather not take because it's hard to decipher them sometimes

Okay, you still have 6 to choose from, thank you for letting us know. I'd really like to get the picking done before May 28, so that when June 1st comes around we already know what we're reading and we can just start.


message 17: by Kobi (new)

Kobi (kobireads) | 175 comments Is there a certain amount we should pick? I have books in mind for the book with 'B''A''T' in title, bullying, animal on the cover, and character called 'Sarah'.


message 18: by Joi (new)

Joi | 972 comments You may pick whatever you want....but we can only do 4 times for each one.... so I want to try to have everyone do at least do 1 different one. I will have a google doc sheet set up in a few hours.

I will let everyone pick what they want to do and then randomize the rest. Kobi, please let me know your book selections for the topics you picked.

Joi | 972 comments - Read a book set in another world

Anna, these are the ones you may pick from. Please let me know your choice ASAP.

Kobi (kobireads) | 175 comments Bullying By the Time You Read This, I'll Be Dead by Julie Anne Peters
Animal on the cover Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen
'B''A''T' in title Beautiful Sacrifice (The Maddox Brothers, #3) by Jamie McGuire
Character named 'Sarah' Flawless by Lara Chapman


message 21: by Joi (last edited May 25, 2015 10:04PM) (new)

Joi | 972 comments Right now the way I counted it out is we should all pick two topics that we want to fulfill to get the whole thing done. If one of us can not get to two books, then we can pass it on it to another team member. Kobi, you can do Animal on the cover Flipped and 'B''A''T' in title Between Shades of Gray.

I will do - Read a book by an author, or with a character who’s name starts with the letter ‘A’ (for Alan) and - In the Jungle you must wait… read a book with trees on the cover.

The Witness and Chain Gang Elementary


Here is the link to the Google Sheet I have set up so far. Click on the following link to view it. Please let me know if I need to add anything else. Once Anna, Megan, and Dragon BookWorm pick which topics they would like to complete...I will add them to the spread sheet.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

Last but not least, we need to start planning buddy reads. I think we may do this once we get to part 2. I'm not going to lie, I'm not very good at buddy reads because I don't have a regular schedule for when I get on GoodReads. I'm hoping that I can somehow work on this and our team can get quite a few buddy reads done.

message 25: by Anna (new)

Anna | 86 comments The name of the book with the mortal danger but now I'm not sure if it's a boarding school or just a regular school so someone could help me figure that out I'd appreciate it


message 26: by Joi (last edited May 26, 2015 10:25AM) (new)

Joi | 972 comments Dragon bookworm, what are the names of the books that you plan on reading with your challenges?

Anna, can you please tag the book that you are talking about so we can read the synopsis and whatnot?

The leftover books that will be given to Scarlet Rose are "- Read a book with soil/earth/ digging equipment/ something buried, or a box or trunk on the cover." and "read a book set in another world."

Joi | 972 comments I got #2 (read a book with house on the cover or in the title), I haven't picked a second one yet.

message 36: by Megan (new)

Megan (celtic_girl) | 6287 comments The Cage should work for "Read a book set in another world", so I'll take that one.

For part 2 I'd like "Read a book set in the future, or in the past" and, if I can request a second, "Roll a five or an eight". The books I'd use are The Crimson Cord: Rahab's Story (set in Biblical times) and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
