Mod
Maddison wrote: "Alright! When will you get it? I'm getting it in a few days from my library."I take that you've already read #3? I need to read it first. Can we read #4 at April 16th?
Mod
Maddison wrote: "Yeah and sure that'll be great! :D #3 was from Hunter's POV. That was good."I wanted to read months ago but then someone told spoiler to me. It killed my mood to read it instantly. But now, since I want to read Nick story, I have to read Hunter's first so yeah...I'll read it first :D
I'm going to make its thread later.
Mod
There hasn't been Nick yet.
Maddison wrote: "I thought Secret's through Michael's...There hasn't been Nick yet."
No, Secret
is from and about Nick. It follows the novella, Breathless while Michael story, Sacrifice haven't released yet.
Yay, I'm so joining this! It sounds fun ;)
Mod
Maddison wrote: "Oh wow that's soooo cool! Oh right it's Secret because of (don't read spoiler if you've not read Breathless) [spoilers removed]"Is Nick you favorite so far?
I won't read your spoiler :D So we'll read Secret on April 16th, then?
Mod
Wait, solution! I'll get it as an ebook from my library. Then we can read it on the 16th lol. I won't be able to post updates though.

I love camping :D We can choose another date, I don't mind, but I can only do it after 23rd. What do you think?
Mod
Maddison wrote: "Well we can do it anytime if I get it on my ereader. So whenever's best for you."So 16th then?

Books set in South as in Southern Hemisphere, yeah?
Well this is going to be easy. :)I'm in ^^
I'll give it a shot! I just moved house so it'll be a good opportunity to read some of my TBR books!:)
Mod
Maddison wrote: "Oh thanks! So hopefully every book I read will count for something. Can the books count for more than one thing? Like, can one book count for two or more things?"No, that you can't do. You can only use a book once :)
Noella wrote: "Books set in South as in Southern Hemisphere, yeah?"That works. So do books set in southern US (Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, etc).
Hah ic gotta brush up on my US geography since most books I read are set in US but I haven't got a clue where's where XP
Noella wrote: "Hah ic gotta brush up on my US geography since most bookSeawaters I read are set in US but I haven't got a clue where's where XP"Here's a list of the states considered to be southern: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia.
Lol someone trolled the wiki page with the 'Do you want to build a snowman' lyrics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern...
I'll sign up! Question: for example I have a hardcover book that when you remove the jacket the cover is color blue. Is it still counted if its like that? I hope you get it!
Alyssa, it usually doesn't count. After all, how are they going to know if the cover is really blue?
Alyssa Joyce wrote: "I'll sign up! Question: for example I have a hardcover book that when you remove the jacket the cover is color blue. Is it still counted if its like that? I hope you get it!"That one is hard because unless I have the book, I have no way of telling if it's really blue...so you can't use a book like that :( Sorry! However, you may use a different edition than the book you have. So let's say that you have this edition of Under the Never Sky:
. You can post the other edition for blue, even though that's not the copy you have:
. I hope that helps some!
Everybody up until this point has been added to the Participants List :)
I'll join. I don't think I am going to get much read this month but it sounds fun so count me in. :)
I need to ask, if we have a book that has both a male and female POV, can that be considered as Fire?
Tessa wrote: "I need to ask, if we have a book that has both a male and female POV, can that be considered as Fire?"As long as half of it is from the male POV then sure :)
