Yep, like Jackie said. That's completely fine. :) Nice choice too!

[C.P.]

Oh, and Angelina, if you see this I had a question: Do you have any German book recommendations, maybe more children or middle grade range? One of my reading goals is to read at least one book in a foreign language this year and I was thinking about reading a Cornelia Funke book. Just thought you might have some suggestions!

[Maya]

Awesome!

[Angelina]

Yeah, I know some good German books. I read a series a while back by Cornelia Funke called Die Wilden Hühner and I really enjoyed it. It is more contemporary, children ranged and a nice light read. Another fantasy book by her would be Drachenreiter. It's also really good!

[C.P.]

Thanks! I'll have to see if I can order those in German. I think I have Dragon Rider in english, so maybe I'll start with that one. :)

[Angelina]

I hope you enjoy it! I always preferred reading books in their original languages, so I always switch between German and English.

[C.P.]

Thanks! That's one reason I wanted to make sure the book I read hasn't been translated from English to another language. I don't know much German, but I figure I can take it slow. :)

[Kaylee]

Do you need an extra person? I'd love to join.

[C.P.]

You can join team Rock. We're a member short on that team. :)

[Kaylee]

Courtney, I am very excited, but struggling to understand the challenge.

[C.P.]

Ok. What do you need to know? Basically, try to make the books you're reading fit the challenge. You can post on the team thread to discuss books if you like. Then post a review with the category it fits when you're done. Not sure that made any sense, so just ask any questions you have. :)

[Kaylee]

Never mind, after reading everyone's comments, I believe I understand. I thought the teams were separate categories/challenges.

Thank you!

[C.P.]

Just let me know if you have any questions.

[Angelina]

Hey, I had a question regarding the song descriptions and if they would match the book I am reading. It is called Mortal Gods and it has Greek gods, who are slowly dying despite being immortal. Does that still count for song #10 Youth-Troye Sivan?
Oh, and besides that, what would define an unreliable narrator?

[C.P.]

Yes, that would count for #10

For unreliable narrator it just needs to be a narrator that you're not sure if you're getting the real/whole story from. I'll try and post some examples of books that use this. There are a lot.

[C.P.]

Angelina, here is a list on goodreads that includes books with unreliable narrators (you're book does not have to come from here, but this might give you an idea of what we're looking for): https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/6...

@Courtney

If we read a book as an ARC through Netgalley, and can't post the review until later in the year (in my case, not until May) will you accept detailed status updates in lieu of a full review?

[C.P.]

Yes, that's perfectly fine. :)
