The color underneath could be anything, and i'd only know if it was if i have the same edition.

"Yes. :)
Thanks, Abbie! Already wrote it down on my list of books for this challenge.
what is contemporary and what is dystopian? Also does breaking dawn from the twilight series count as mythology? x
Elizabeth wrote: "what is contemporary and what is dystopian? Also does breaking dawn from the twilight series count as mythology? x"Contemporary and Dystopian are genres. It will tell you if books fall under them in the tag list on the books page.
Breaking dawn wouldn't count for mythology, sorry!
Dystopian is set in a futuristic setting. Usually the government makes it hard for its citizens to live. Popular examples include Hunger Games, Divergent, The 5th Wave, Legend, etc.Contemporary is set in modern times. Most contemporary reads are also chick lits or realistic fiction books.
Breaking Dawn would fit as paranormal, vampires and, perhaps, love triangle
Tatiana wrote: "Breaking Dawn would fit as paranormal, vampires and, perhaps, love triangle"Yes, or 350+ pages. :)

eg:
- on the side says 'Science Fiction > Dystopia ' ☺

and contemporary - https://www.goodreads.com/genres/new_...
Okay thank you, Hunger games it is :D x
Just a silly question. Since we get double points for Buddy Reads, do we get two points for the Buddy Read square?

The only way to get bonus points for crossing blocks off, is to make a line. (Which will give you 5 extra points)

"Yep :)
can you read books that are not in the YA Cathegory?
María wrote: "can you read books that are not in the YA Cathegory?"Yes. :)
the books the group is already reading count? I mean Across the universe can be my buddy read square?
Do we make a line for each topic we pick or do we check off the boxs?
No, you check of the boxes. Suppose you want to do the third row. That means you need one book with a blue cover, one book with vampires, one buddy, one book with multiple POVs and one with a flower on the cover.
Sarah & Abbie, I wanted Everblue for Spelling challenge and have read 7 chapters. I think it's less than 10% but then I didn't have time to finish it. Can I use it for Bookish challenge instead?
Mod
As long as you read it within the challenge dates, using Across the Universe as a buddy read is fine ☺
Mod
I'll have to let Abbie answer that as the 10% rule was my strange amendment to the rules for the series-read-along challange.
Chapter 8 starts at 14% on my kindle though, and it's only 304 pages so it wouldn't have fallen under the criteria for the amendement to the series-read-along challenge anyway :(
It's up to Abbie though.
Sorry Rachmi, it wouldn't count. :(You still have about 22 hours to submit review for the festive spelling though. :)
I can't read much for the next 22 hours :D That's why I decided to keep it on hold. That's okay, though. I'm going to read it soon, anyway. Thank you......
Would
satisfy the mythology block? (Jack Ripper myth?)
Mod
Sarah have y'all counted me in for the comments challenge?
Mod
Sarah wrote: "er Jack the Ripper wasn't a myth, he was a real-life serial killer."Ohh sorry my bad! I googled Name of the Star and mythology which turned up some results (my ignorance is so embarrassing T_T)
It will tell you if a book has mythology aspects in it on the books page in the "tag" section. :)
@Noella Don't worry about it. He was a pretty sick dude (like to slit the throats of prostitutes) so he isn't really the type of guy you want to know about!
Mod
I was trying to fit Name of the Star under the first column of the challenge (I just bought the book today) but I'm struggling to fit it in with my other reads :( Maybe I'll put it aside for another day. @Abbie : I shall go check out the myth tag now~ Thanks
@Rachel: Sounds like Name of the Star will be a chilling read !
@Sarah: Hehe, I feel like I should add some non-fiction to my reading list for 2014 now
Noella, it would count for "350+ pages" "Set in the past" "People on cover" and "first in series" :)
@Noella I think it will. I am going to be adding it to my tbr list now.
Oh wait! Can I read the Name of the Star for 'Title that starts with your initial' or because the title starts with 'The' it can't count?
Mod
Abbie, it's not set in the past hon :( I suppose it's based on a historical figure, but its set in 2010?
