I am finished with my "V" book and will be getting the review up shortly. What are a couple of empty descriptions we need covered?

I think that might finish off the first round, the second round is pretty wide-open, I believe :-) I need to check myself. Finished my food book today and posted my review.
Actually, we still have one book to go to finish round 1, the one with gifts/invite on the cover.Danielle said she was halfway through one a couple days ago, if I'm not mistaken
, I do have a book with gift in the title, if we need it. Finished another book last night, will put it in the borrowed description for the second round, then the book I'm reading now can probably use for adult book or maybe flour, not sure.
We have been very quiet this weekend! I will definitely finish my flower book either tonight or in the morning, I posted my review for a borrowed book today.We must be missing something besides gift, because I think we only have 20 bonus points???
the V book is also missing, we're still waiting for Jessa's review
Got it! I just finished my book, I'll do my review and then I have to sleep!All-star a V book tomorrow I need it for another challenge, and it can always go to the second round :-)
Amazing!Weekends are always slow for me when it comes to reading, and I couldn't get into the book I was reading... I've given it up and started something else
I really can't believe I read that book so quick today, it was SO good!!!It is midnight here, and I never stay up this late, but I just needed to finish that book, just what I needed :-)
It's 6 AM here, and I'm leaving for work...
Sorry everyone. I'm in a phase where I pick up my current reads and can only get through a few pages before putting it down :(
Don't even worry about it!We are doing fantastic!
Hey guys! Sorry I was quiet over the weekend, I got pretty sick. It's winter and cold here so everyone has these horrible colds and coughs :( anyways, I'll be posting my reviews this evening after work for Round 1/A #22 Gifts/invites, on the cover/in the title (Shopaholic Takes Manhattan) and then we're done with Round 1/A!!!!!I'm also almost done with Round 2/B #19 Quiet, Silent, or Whisper in the title (Soundless) and then I'll work on finishing my book for Round 2/B "E" in FOREVER (An Ember in the Ashes).

We are! Just keep up the great work :) We have to try REALLY HARD to read Buddy Reads!!! I think if we end up coming in any place other than 1st place, it will be because of lack of BRs. Right now, that's the only reason we're in 2nd! ☺
Life got pretty real this past weekend, which is why my review isn't up. But I'm posting it after this, so it will be done! I do have a couple of books I can use for round two and I'll post those after I'm done with the review!
Tati, there is someone named Rachel looking for a buddy for Ice Like Fire if you're still planning to read that! Message # 25,681 on page 514 here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

WOO-HOO!!!!!! You guys!!!!!!!!!!!! We only have my one book left and WE'RE DONE WITH ROUND 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys ROCK!!!!
Just some crazy neighborhood kids that have been jumping into our backyard at night and terrorizing our horses and chickens and dogs. Finally had the police catch them. So stressful! Lol. Ok. Sooo. I'm not sure if we still need these for round two, but I have currently sitting on my shelf begging to be read:
Blue on the cover:
Dress on the Cover:
Man on the cover:
Book told from a female POV:
A white cover, or a romance novel :
. ( romance novel, also does it count since its two books in one?)If any of these are already taken, I can change them around! I will be traveling tomorrow so I should get most of them done!
That is a bummer! I say read what you want, and we can make it fit :-)
It seriously is! I couldn't believe they thought doing that was ok. Okie dokie, sweet!
Jessa wrote: "It seriously is! I couldn't believe they thought doing that was ok. Okie dokie, sweet!"
I agree, read away!! And I'm so sorry to hear that! I would be OUTRAGED, I am a huge animal lover and would treat them all like kings and queens. If any of my animals got hurt, those kids better WATCH OUT! Good luck with that, I hope they stop and learn their lesson!!
I don't know what I'd use Ice Like Fire for...
Tati wrote: "I don't know what I'd use Ice Like Fire for..."Okay! Just an FYI :)
I picked up a new book and I'm 30% in. The app @Voice is great for converting ebooks to speech :) Woo !
I haven't tried that yet, I have an Amazon echo, and I know it can read me books, I should try that :-)
I'm working on beverage on the cover and the letter O in FOREVER
However, work has just unloaded a lot of stuff, so my reading time got cut
It pays the bills (and the dog's food) LOL
I know I have a love-hate relationship with money, I love it when I have it, and I hate it when I don't!
Also, I've updated my spreadsheet, and we've already read 10 books for the second round!
Nice! Also, if we complete the first part three times, before we finish one of the second parts, we still get bonus points, if that even makes any sense???
I found a book with gift in the title, but then I figured out it was BDSM, Not my thing ;-)Well, I'm not sure but it did mention submissive in the blurb, so I don't think I'm going to read that.

Danielle, I gave up on Passenger. Also, I'm currently working on Oblivion (for O) and A Criminal Magic for beverage on the cover.(also, we need that review of yours to finish the first round)
If needed I can move my read Mini Shopaholic from borrowed book in the first round to gifts/invite on cover and read something quick for borrowed book (Beyond the Grave)?
We can do that and then move my Barrowed Book from the second round into the first, The Heist

Oh crap I forgot to turn that in yesterday. I'll do that tonight after work! :O And what description am I turning it in for now since you guys made all those switches?

Cool make sure you guys BR!
I think you could use for the same description (gifts), but for the second round. I know I don't have anything that'd work for that
