Bookish Blocks Challenge - Sign up & Questions

@Courtney That's okay. :)

[Courtney]

Sarah I say you had Uglies on the last post, does that whole series take place at a boarding school?

[Courtney]

*saw

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think it's just the first one. They're at a boarding school until they're made pretty.

[Courtney]

Okay. I have only read half the series so I wasn't sure.

[Mei]

I have a few questions to go through...

- Will this count as Multiple POV, set in the past, or love triangle?

- Is this blue enough?

[Mei]

Also, will this count for blue cover?

- Will this count for flower on the cover?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

would definitely count for multiple POV. I can't remember if there's a love triangle as such though.

It would count as mulitple POV.
It wouldn't count as "set in the past" because only half the book is spent in the past, and it's not that far beyond.

[Abi]

Mei wrote: "Also, will this count for blue cover?

Yeah, that would count as a flower, and yep, it's blue enough :)

How about blue for The Seers? :) And thanks Abbie and Sarah!

Yes, it will count. :)

[Mei]

Okay, thank you Abbie! :)

[Inês]

On the matter of Multiple POV box, two POV are enough? Or does it has to be more?

[Sarah]

Would or work for "numbers in the title"?

Also would work for a flower on the cover? I'm not sure if I'm going to use it for that particular category, but I just want to make sure.

[Christina]

@Abbie just want to confirm if All our Yesterdays can be considered for the love triangle bloack?

Maybe it'll be clearer if I finish it and I can build a case for it being considered a love triangle (or not) :)

I think as long as there is more than one it's fine ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Sarah wrote: "Would or work for "numbers in the title"?

should be fine for a flower. I'll leave the numbers ones to Abbie though.

Two is fine. :)

Sarah and i have both read that, and we really can't remember a love triangle.
If there is, and we have just forgot, you can use it. If not, you could always use it for "people on cover" :)

Ok, thanks! :)

(view spoiler)[Wasn't Em in love with both James/Doctor and Finn? (hide spoiler)]

I'm not sure. I know what you mean about there being both James and Finn (view spoiler)[ but I can't quite remember the exact scenario. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[If I remember correctly, the young Marina was madly in love with James. I think her love still shows when Em (current timeline) has to travel back in time to kill James, because she seems to reminisce the past and hesitate countless times, which allows him to get away. In the current timeline Em loves Finn too.

So Finn loves Em, Em loves Finn, Em's love for James was unrequited. Would that count as a love triangle? (hide spoiler)]

[Elizabeth Emily]

Just a review away until I will have finally done my first square! Woop:) x

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yay! Well done Elizabeth!

[Mei]

*SPOILER!

My opinion on All Our Yesterdays is (view spoiler)[Em is in love with Older Finn and Marina is in love with James. We know that Em and Marina are just one person, but Marina is in the past. Since Em and older Finn go back in time it kinda like collides but the two identities like a different person. Older Em is to kill the doctor but she can't bring herself to do it because there's some part of her that still cares and loves that doctor. There's this scene while Em and older Finn were in Connecticut and Em confessed she failed thrice, one when she saw Marina and James hugging. Older Finn got furious and jealous because he knows Em still likes James somehow.

But in a matter of if we base it on Em, since she's the present, she chose older Finn. She undergone a confusion, but that short, because the evil doctor flashes in her mind, so I think the love triangle is nothing serious, if that? When I asked my entry for AOY I haven't finished it, yet so not the best of judgments...

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think you're right Mei, (view spoiler)[ it is a very odd situation, and its not really a serious love triangle. It's not like twilight! (hide spoiler)]

[Inês]

Does this count as boarding school and this one vampires ?

I want to finish the Vampire Academy series :) I like it a lot but for some reason I stopped reading after the fourth.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I would say yes to both ☺

[Inês]

Ok, thanks! :)

The 4th was horrible!!! When are you thinking of reading book 6?

exactly.

[Heather]

Would committing suicide be considered a mental illness?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Depends why he/she commited suicide. which book are you thinking?

[Heather]

13 reasons why by jay asher

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm not sure if it would count just because the person who commits suicide isn't the main character, and the box says 'main character has a mentall illness'. 13 reasons why is told from the point of view of Clay - Hannah's friend. I'll run it by Abbie and see what she thinks ☺

ok thanks and if not would anxiety count as a mental illness?

[Inês]

Does count as mental illness?

[Abi]

Sorry, 13 reasons why wouldn't count.
Anxiety is a form of mental illness if it's sever, though.

[Abi]

Inês wrote: "Does count as mental illness?"

Yes :)

[Inês]

Got it, thank you :)
