I thought I'm the only one who drawn it! :D

[rachel, x]

@Rachmi Ahaha, no you aren't alone! :)

[Christina]

I got a spreadsheet for it haha

[Abi]

Haha, i used to write stuff for challenges down too.
It makes it so much easier! :)

[rachel, x]

@Abbie It certainly does.

[Rachmi]

Yes, it makes so much easier. If I don't do it, I will freak out because it's so hard for me to choose books randomly.

My friend thinks I'm weird drawn it, now I'm happy I'm not that weird :D

[Abi]

Haha, i used nearly a whole notebook for the MMC. :)

[rachel, x]

@Rachmi Your not weird. I have to plan what to read to. I have a set calendar (if I am doing challenges) :)

[Courtney]

I write all my stuff down in a notebook. Everyone laughs at me, but I dont care.

[rachel, x]

@Courtney Good on you. Me too. Its just sooo much easier! :)

[Tati]

Would you say this is blue?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It looks green on the kindle. i don't have a hard copy though.

[Tati]

your Kindle shows colors? Mine doesn't...

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I have a kindle fire. it's more like an ipad.

[Abi]

Yeah, i'd say it's more mint green. Sorry. :(

It could be used for contemporary though.

[Tati]

Oh, that makes sense! I thought (don't know why) that you had a Paperwhite.

[Tati]

I have two books competing for the box of contemporary... And I don't really know where else I could fit either Stripped or Fangirl... I thought of using Fangirl for the blue cover and Stripped for contemporary.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

have you done published in 2013?

[Tati]

Yep.

For the tearjerker block, would the book have to a drama or one sad scene would suffice?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

The cover for the fangirl audio edition is blue -

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "The cover for the fangirl audio edition is blue - "

This would work. :) Just use that cover when you submit the review.

For the tearjerker, If it's about a sad subject, or there's one sad scene, it will count. :)

[Tati]

Thanks, girls! I guess I'll use Fangirl for the blue cover then :) (tearjerker doesn't really fits with the lines I'm working on)

[Jenn]

Would work as MC has a mental illness?

[Abi]

Jenna wrote: "Would work as MC has a mental illness?"

Yes :)

[Heather]

If so that would be great because I have that book as well :)

[Heather]

yayyy I will be reading this soon then

[Jenn]

Okay, thanks Abbie! :)

[Abi]

Maybe you could buddy read it together, then. :)

[Heather]

Jenna do you want to buddy read it? If not that is ok because I need the mental illness square

[Jenn]

When are planning on reading it, Heather?
I'm just going to try and squeeze it in before the 29th. It might not happen though cause my schedule is pretty packed. But I hope it does -- cause I need that block too, and that would complete a line for me :D

We could tentatively plan a buddy read? And if I've not finished the other books, you could carry on without me. I just don't want to hold you back from getting the square.

[Heather]

LOL Jenna I need a few more squares before I make a line so I was trying to get it in before the 29th as well I have to read Clockwork Angel and it may take me awhile to read that one

[Jenn]

haha..sounds like we're in the same boat then. I'll send you msg then when I get around to picking up Wintergirls. Do you still wanna buddy read it even if we don't finish in time for the challenge?

[Heather]

yes

[Heather]

Would count as set in the past? one of the tags is Historical Fiction

[rachel, x]

@Heather Yes, I am sure it would. Its set in the 1960s.

[Abi]

Yes :)

[Heather]

Thanks guys I'm trying to get in some quick reads for the challenge

[Noella]

Can count for witches (It's one of the tags, just not the top ones) ?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'll check with Abbie but I think that should be okay ☺ There are quite a few witches in that one!

[Christina]

Would Stardust also be set in the past? I'm interested in that one too!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I don't think it would count for set in the past. It's set in a fantasy world rather than the normal world, so it's not really set in our past (if you get what i mean?)

[Christina]

@Sarah
okie no problems! I'm finding it a little tough to find a set in our past book. Do you have some suggestions? Thanks :)

[Abi]

Whatever Sarah says for stardust will be fine. :) I've never read the book / watched the film, so i have no idea!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You've never seen stardust? That is one of my most favourite films ever!

[Abi]

There's only a few i can think off at the top of my head:

(and i think her other series is too. Not sure about that, though.)

There's been a few mentioned in this thread too. :)

Have you read ? That is my favourite historical series, it's like gossip girl set in 1899 ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

is set in victorian times.

Nope. It was on the other week, and was going to watch it, but i missed it. :(

[Noella]

The stardust movie was so awesome. There were at least 3 witches :P
