It has to start with your initial, so you'd have to read something starting with "N" without "the" in front, sorry. :(

Now I'm wondering whether I can use Everblue as a reread book (1 reread is allow, right?)? But then I only reread 7 chapters :D If I can, I want to read it with Tatiana on 20th since first buddy read have already done last week, I think.

Sorry I keep asking you this book, just want to try to fit it with schedule :) hope you don't mind, Sarah & Abbie.

I'll allow it, since you're buddy reading it with someone. :)

[Rachmi]

Thanks, Abbie. Hope Tatiana still wants to read it, otherwise I might not read it either :D

[Tati]

Me? Yep, I still want to read it!

[Alexandria]

Totally in!

[Rachmi]

@Tatiana, great. So we will buddy read it on 20th, right?

Does the "tearjerker" category have to make you cry or just seem reasonably sad? Would this count ??

And the "people on cover" does it have to be more than one person??

[Abi]

Yep, it doesn't really have to make you cry, a sad subject would do it.
That counts. :)

Yep, 2 people or more for that block. :)

[rachel, x]

@Abbie Thanks! I thought it would just double-checked. :)

[rachel, x]

@Abbie Oh right, yeah I thought so but I also just wanted to double-check. :)

[Abi]

If you can just see two peoples arms or something, like it would count too. :)

[rachel, x]

@Abbie Okay. Would with their two faces count? Its clearer in real life.

Hi Guys! Welcome to the first day of the challenge!

I just want to ask if you can all quickly read this checklist before posting your reviews please:

Before you submit your review please check:
1. Is the book you read more than 100 pages long?
2. Does your review contain details about what you did and didn't like?
3. Did you read your book within the challenge dates? (January 8th - January 29th)
4. Did you make at least 4 comments on your buddy read thread (comments must be about the book, not 'I've started', 'I've finished' etc.) (If you did a buddy read)


Thanks everybody! And Good Luck!

[Heather]

Do you have to include what we didnt like if we dont have anything to put there? For example I dont have a lot that I do not like about the book I am reading right now except for the spoiler titles for each chapter

[Abi]

No, it's just something to go by.
If there's nothing you didn't like, just explain what you did like. :)

thanks abbie i cant wait to complete this novel :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It's just a guidline to ensure that your review has details. If you can tell us a couple of things you did like, such as the main character? a certain part of the storyline? then that is fine also ☺

what do you mean by strong main character?

[Abi]

Heather wrote: "what do you mean by strong main character?"

Strong character basically mean that they're brave. It's someone that doesn't run away when there's danger, and instead, faces it head on.

For example, i thought Amy in was a strong character, because she still went through with something very painful after watching someone else go through with it.

Hey just confirming I have the book of the Eternity Cure with this cover: but there is also this version out there . Could I still count this as a blue book? Don't know how strict the rules are but just thought I'd ask :)

[Elizabeth Emily]

@ines would you like to buddy read evermore with me? X

[Rachmi]

Sarah/Abbie, I want to read but I don't know whether it has more than 100 pages (GR didn't mention it).

I got it from NetGalley and I read it on Kindle apps but I think my eReader has different format since it said the book has 3000 plus pages. Can you help check it and whether I can read it for this challenge?

[Abi]

Yes, that's fine. :)

[Rachmi]

I've amended the books details on Goodreads so that it says the number of pages now ☺
