Finally going to try to get to my two books tonight. Of course nothing I've read so far is a 2010 book, but I have one lined up...not sure about the second.

Alright. I've messaged her, seeing as she doesn't get on this thread much. I'll post here what she's recommended. It'll take me AAAAGES to get to though seeing as I have so many other books to read and I mostly just read something and hope it fits for challenges :p
Gnat be you could ask if she'd recommend all her 5 star reads? That way you have some options :D

Oh wow those books are so different to ones I'd normally read. Wow.
Chasing Spring it is, then. I shall request it now.

Review: It's been a while since I read book 2 but I remember not enjoying that one as much. It took me a while to settle back into this world and remember what happened with the characters. After I got over that the story picked up and ended up being really good. Many of the plot elements were predictable but sometimes that is enjoyable.

If you don't have a book to read from your chance card, I thought you could roll again straight away?

Haha that one sucks. I've been stuck on it for ages on another game.
Maddison wrote: "Haha that one sucks. I've been stuck on it for ages on another game."I've actually got one sitting on my bedside table that's ready to be read, Gemini. At least the first chunk of it takes place in the hospital. I just have to find a way to make it fit other challenges as well
I try to have a variety of stuff on hand at all times, in case of something like this. I've actually been stuck on one that is "Read a book with a hat on the cover" for like three weeks without realizing that I HAVE BEEN READING THAT BOOK FOR FOREVER. >.<
Oh woah! Yeah I'm stuck on that book as well.
Greta wrote: "Thanks god the suggestions, Maya!"That's what I'm here for :D
Uprooted looks great! Let's hope the library has the ebook!
Greta wrote: "Uprooted looks great! Let's hope the library has the ebook!"It is SO GOOD. It came right after I read a 1 star book, so it was very refreshing.
I've got it from the library too, but I haven't read it yet.
Ugh, not available right away and I'm not paying for it :-( Boo, that one really looked good. I will keep searching though.
Would you all consider a friendship that's very strong to be chemistry? I am looking at Bridge to Teribithea & haven't read it so don't know if it would count. Not sure how old the kids are.
I don't know that I'd consider it electric chemistry. That almost infers a sexual relationship
Lol- I figured not but I guess i had to try!
I am going to read-
It fits this, yellow & stand alone :-)
I know, and it was available at the library. It's good so far.
Do you read books specifically for challenges? I'm surprised you've just found your book and are already reading it!
Yes, this one was not on my tbr & I'm reading it just for the challenges. I try to read books on my TBR whenever I can.Do you mainly stick to your plan or TBR though?
I mainly stick to my library books :p I always have far too many library books out, hence why I have so many books I own that I haven't read. There's 300 I haven't read I own.
Ah, ok! You must have a big limit at your library! I'm pretty much just reading Kindle books now. I have access to 3 library systems so I can get many ebooks that way :D
The limit's 30, and I never even read them all. I end up having to get them out multiple times haha.
Completion Post:Roll #3: Electric Company
Task: Read a book where the characters have electric chemistry.

Date: 4/8/16
Rating: 4 stars
Review: I was really surprised how much I liked this book! I thought the characters were well developed and I think the authors did a great job of exploring all the feelings and situations that would arise with having a MC who is invisible. While Stephen and Elizabeth did have an electric chemistry (it even mentioned the electricity between them), it did feel a little like insta-love, so that is my only criticism- that, and that it's a standalone and I'd like to hear more about the world and what happens with the characters.
I now own Electric Company.
It's Friday, so I'm going on to Roll #4- 6 + 6 = 12Landed on Illinois Ave, Owned by Amanda
Rent is 3 books from the Re-read shelf, phew!! Will come back to choose my books.
Part of the way through my pick for last week (went with Cat's Cradle, since I needed it for two other challenges). Thankfully I have absolutely nothing to do this weekend, so I should be able to finish it, and hopefully a lot of whatever book I pick for the roll I should've made today.
Btw, Amanda. Why do you charge so much for rent?!
Greta wrote: "Btw, Amanda. Why do you charge so much for rent?!"LoL, ummm...cause it's right next to the railroad? Prime real estate there. XD
I have a book in mind but don't think I'm gonna get to it soon. Are there some books you all think stunk. Preferably fantasy/sci fi or romance.
Delitealex, did you ever get through
on the YA Book Gang challenge/book of the month? That one I thought stunk. Or
. That one wasn't actually too bad, but something about it just didn't sit right with me.Edited to add that both of these I rated 2 stars.
Fantasy- The Black Company- stunk, DNF for me :-(
Ok, I see! I think rent just keeps going up from here though!!
