Okay so, Beastly for flower on cover, Ugly Love for blue cover and both Young Elites and The Accident Season for Female POV. The last two might fit in some other descriptions as well, I'm not sure yet.

[Melanie]

5th sounds good. Will you request the thread?

[Melanie]

I'll buddy read Beastly, if I can. I need to check and ask the mods if this reread will be alright for the challenge.

[Eesh]

I'll request the thread. And according to challenge rules, at least one reread is allowed per challenge as long as you last read the book 10 months ago, 8 if you didn't write a review.

[Melanie]

It's been a couple years (read it in 2013, I think), but I'm already rereading Storm Siren, so that's why I'm checking. :)

[Eesh]

Okay, tell me if you're up for it.

[Melanie]

I'll let you know as soon as I hear back :)

[Melanie]

Sarah said it is fine for me to reread Beastly for the challenge.

What date works best for you?

[Eesh]

Is the 10th okay?

[Melanie]

Sure.

[Eesh]

I'll make the thread.

[Eesh]

Thread made. Here's the link: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Thanks!

Yes, you can complete each part up to 4 times, and will get bonus points for finishing each ☺

Thanks for updating the sheet! If we look at other covers for the books, sometimes they end up fitting other descriptions as well (example: book cover is blue in one edition, but in another it's yellow with a car on the front, so it fits could also fit transportation).

I'm still deciding which books I'm going to read & then I'll try to find buddy reads for some of them, as well as finish updating the chart.

[Reading Rediscovered]

Melanie: I noticed you added and to the list - I have both of these books, so I'll buddy read them with you!

[Eesh]

Hey Jessica, we're doing The Young Elites on the 5th. You could definitely join us if you want.

Awesome! I'll add it to my list!

[Melanie]

Jessica, what date works for you to buddy read April Henry's book? :)

[Gillian]

i have gone through the books I'm reading to find different covers on other editions and have added them to descriptions

[Melanie]

Do you guys think transportation is a harder category? I have a book I need to read the first week of February and it has a boat on the cover.

[Eesh]

It could be hard. the boat come will do perfectly, though.

[Melanie]

Hey Mystery -- I noticed you are going to read Pretties...I'll buddy read that with you! :)

We post all of our review links (along with BR links when applicable) here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I think we also post the highest page count for any edition of the book.

So it would look like this:


Description: (insert one chosen)
Pages: 352 pages (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...)
Review: Link goes here
Buddy: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Leah]

I added my review and updated the spreadsheet.

[Gillian]

Nice!

[Melanie]

I added a new tab to the spreadsheet and put my books there with the description I plan on using them. There are a couple that I don't have books for -- including the music one.

[Eesh]

I just posted Pretties for "couple on the cover" description. I'm starting Hollow City later.

How about starting on the 10th? That gives me time to finish The Young Elites plus the other few books I've got on the go.

[Melanie]

That works! Should I request the thread, or do you want to? :)

[Reading Rediscovered]

You can do it. I'm attempting to write some reviews.

[Melanie]

Will do!

[Melanie]

Hey Gillian,

I noticed you have Steelheart on your TBR list in the spreadsheet. I'll buddy read that with you, if you want. :)

[Gillian]

great I'm reading it now i don't know how to create the buddy thread though

[Melanie]

I'll ask Sarah to update the BR thread. I'll start it as soon as I can :)

[Gillian]

Awesome thanks :)

[Melanie]

You're welcome!

[Melanie]

Jessica, here's our thread for April Henry's book :) https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Melanie]

Gillian,
Here's the link for Steelheart. Sarah updated the thread, so it's ready to go :D

[Melanie]

Here it is, Gillian!

[Gillian]
