Can it work for the camera or photograph on cover??? That one is sooooo tough for me :)

[Eesh]

It's really late here right now but I'lol check tomorrow morning.

[Melanie]

Okay :)

These are also tough ones (in my opinion)

Cake or food on cover
Gifts or invites on cover

So if your book has an edition that could work instead for one of those (especially the food one as I don't know if I have any book planned for that), that's great. :)

[Gillian]

i would have to agree they r the 3 toughest

[Melanie]

I remembered that I have Take a Picture by Lena Goldfinch and I'll reread it for the challenge (Sarah said that's okay). Anyone want to buddy read it??

[Gillian]

i will see if i can get a copy its only a little one so i should be able to fit it in

[Gillian]

$0.99 in ibooks I'm happy to read that with u lol

[Melanie]

Want to choose the date to start? :)

[Gillian]

its such a small one maybe we can do it this weekend

[Melanie]

That works! I'll set up the thread :)

[Gillian]

can you organise the buddy thread please you are so good at that ;)

[Gillian]

sorry its annoying how this does not have a live feed

[Melanie]

No problem :) I've had it happen to me so many times (especially when on the app) :)

Here's the thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Melanie]

I'm going to try and get a lot read this weekend, but I'll be busy so I might not get anything finished. I want to at least start Siren's Fury and Mr. Monk and the Dirty Cop (the latter has to go back to the library soon, so I need to read it asap).

What are you guys planning on reading this weekend?

[Gillian]

i hope to get Tomorrow, When the War Began, Take a Picture, Steelheart and Half-Blood finished. Which will leave me Birdsong to finish next week then i can start some new ones :)

[Reading Rediscovered]

Posted my first review (finally). Have 1 or 2 more books to add, hopefully will finish my 2nd/3rd books by tonight, and another 1 or 2 this weekend so we should be well on our way!
Keep up the reading friends!

[Melanie]

Yay, Jessica!! :)

[Eesh]

Okay so, this "finding the cover" business? Really hard. I checked the first 7 pages and I thought there'd be more variety. But it's just a whole lot of statues and murder.

Right now, I'm going with jewelery or make-up. I'm planning on finishing Anna Karenina this month as well (hopefully). Maybe that one will have more options.

[Melanie]

That sounds good to me. Whatever you want to use it for, go for it :)
It definitely is tough to go through that many editions. :(

Yeah, there are over 700.

[Melanie]

Yikes!! That is a lot! :/

[Reading Rediscovered]

Just an update for y'all - Currently reading: (if I can get my Kobo to stop freezing on me), , .

[Eesh]

I'm reading the Young Elites too! You can join the BR if you want.

[Leah]

I updated the spreadsheet and added my review.

[Melanie]

Added my reviews and updated the spreadsheet. Hoping to finish another book tonight -- Siren's Song -- for the music task.

[Melanie]

@Gillian, I just saw that's there's a buddy read happening right now for Truthwitch! I saw your comment in the buddy read thread looking for a buddy :)

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

[Gillian]

ty ty ty Melanie u r the best I'm still trying to find my way around all the group pages lol

[Melanie]

You're welcome! I was just on the GR app, looking at the unread section of this group, and saw it towards the top. :)

[Gillian]

im so tempted to join Mystery with Anna Karenina but I'm to sure i can fit it in

[Eesh]

I'm gonna be reading it through the next 10 days. I'd love for you to join, but it is huge so time could be a problem.

[Gillian]

I will get a copy tomorrow will do my best to keep up with you :)

[Eesh]

Just posted for The Young Elites.
I'm gonna try to finish Hollow City before Beasttly on the 10th but I don't think I'll be able to. The Peculiars are seriously time-consuming and I also have Anna Karenina so it seems unlikely. But yeah, I'll try.

And Gillian, I'll set up a BR thread. That will get is extra points and we can discuss it.

[Melanie]

I'm going to be starting the sixth Harry Potter book this week.
I'm finishing up Siren's Song and will then be reading The Young Elites, I think. :)

[Leah]

I posted my review and updated the spreadsheet.

[Melanie]

Posted my review and updated the spreadsheet. :)

[Gillian]

posted review on spreadsheet updated ;)

[Melanie]

Nice!! :)

[Melanie]

I'm reading for the ring on cover task.

What are you guys working on??

[Gillian]

for the letter O

[Melanie]

Yay! I think that'll be our first letter done :D

[Gillian]

i see we are just hanging on to the lead but we have not completed any parts yet so that will give us a boost when we do everyone is doing a great job hope you are all having fun Melanie your are a champion reader i don't know how you get through them so fast lol

[Melanie]

I'm a fast reader, so long as I'm not going through a reading slump. Which I'm not right now :D

[Leah]

I added two books to the spreadsheet and reviews.

[Reading Rediscovered]

Currently reading one for shoes on cover/in title -
and for V -

[Eesh]

I'm doing Beastly, Anna Karenina and Hollow City at the moment. Will try to finish two of them before Ugly Love on the 13th.

[Eesh]

I think we should switch Jessica's Toxic to "Shoes on cover" category instead of "borrowed" since the former is a trickier one. What do you think?

Also, I finished Beastly and I'm putting it in flower. But it can also fit in Male POV, couple on cover, girl on cover, dress and maybe one other.

[Eesh]

Is anyone reading or planning to read for the suit category at the moment?

[Melanie]

@Mystery, I'm not reading anything for the suit one, at the moment. Later I'll be, but I'll just use it for the second round (or third ;)).

[Gillian]

i don't have anything for suit I'm almost done with Orphan 8 it will fit O, shoes, female POV or girl on cover i had planed on putting it on O

[Reading Rediscovered]

I just finished one for shoes but Ill only be able to post the review tonight. Also, I have one for suit I can read. Probably finish it tomorrow.
