Exactly. My book collection is all over the place

Yep. But that's the way I like it. It can get boring reading the same genre for every book.
It really can be. I tend to read the same genre mostly, but every so often I go off on a tangent
yeah, like right now I'm in a romance/mystery tangent, I know that after few more books I'll be done with the genre for a while. But branching off is always exciting since I go with genres I'm not used to, like non-fiction.
Awesome! I usually read YA fiction or fantasy, but recently I've branched off into manga
I love manga and anime! it's one of my secret addictions :p Are you enjoying the ones you've tried so far? Also did you get the message from Mad about the extension of the challenge? I just stated that big challenge I told you about so I'll just use the book I read for that challenge for this one as well.
Really? That's cool! And yes, it's exciting!
Oh and today is the power round, so we can put all our books into as many boxed sets as possible, and we can re-use them
I'll make sure to do that later today then, I have company coming over so I should probably stop reading and get ready :p Glad you're liking the manga, I've got loads of recommendations once you know what you're looking for. Just let me know.
Okay! And thanks! I'll make sure to let you know!
Did you read any books that switched between different people's perspectives? Becuase I had 2
I also had two books that dealt with characters on a ship, so let me know if you had any books like that. Or even any books that focused on water?
Sorry I couldn't get back to you!! If you haven't already finished all your boxed sets then yes I did read a book that switched perspectives, The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater. I'll do all my sets right now.
I must have logged off right before you got on last night! Thanks though
I saw your post in the reviews like 5 minutes before I got there. Our guests didn't leave until nearly midnight so I had maybe 20 minutes to think of a few boxed sets. We still have over 10 days left in the challenge so I'll be sure to make up for it :p
Oh wow! And it's fine! Not many teams did the power round
phew, that's a load off. it was kind of hard coming up with new boxed sets from what we'd done already.
It really was!! Oh, I noticed that you read a lot of Amanda Quick books. What type of books does she write?
she writes historical romance and paranormal, but she also writes under two other names, Jayne Ann Krentz and Jayne Castle, and has series intertwining between them. she is one of my favorite authors, I absolutely love her writing.
That sounds interesting!
yeah, she's a great author. I highly recommend her.
I'll definitely have to check out her books some time!
So I have two books that can work together for a fantasy/adventure boxed set if you are reading something that can go along with that. If not, I also finished a romance and a mystery/psychological thriller. Just to let you know where I'm at with books at the moment
I have a fantasy/adventure book that I'm reading right now! I'm a little over halfway done with it. Sorry I haven't been reading a lot lately, I've had final exams for school
no problem! good luck with your exams, I remember hating exams when I was in school. I suck at memorizing things, I'm more of a practical learner.
Thanks! And I'm the same way. I prefer doing things than sitting and memorizing them
Exactly! Don't worry about not reading as much, if you get all stressed out trying to read then it defeats the point.
What book are you readin right now? is it any good?
I'm reading Cress by Marissa Meyer. (I can't do the link because I'm on the app right now). It's the third book in the Lunar Chronicles series (the first book is Cinder.) It's so good!! You should check it out. There's 4 books in the series
I've been wanting to read that series! my library doesn't have them and I haven't had a chance to go book shopping at a place that has them either. Though I went in for groceries today and came out of Walmart with 4 books, I'm such a book hoarder.
You'll have to let me know if you get them! And that sounds like something I would do haha
I'll be finishing my fantasy/adventure book soon so you can make your boxed set. Which books did you read for it?
A Woman Worth Ten Coppers is a great series, Morgan Howell the author writes really immersive fantasy books. The other is good, but not great, I'm hoping for more from the rest of the series.
Hopefully the series picks up for you
I'm really hoping it does, I mean I love Dragons but I don't like how they are portrayed in this book.
Are we able to use books in multiple boxed sets? I've seen other teams doing it
Basically the dragons look the same as usual, but they are really lazy. I'm cool with their arrogance and cruelness, but I hate the idea of Lazy dragons who would rather use slaves to do their work/hoarding of gold. it's just weird
Also I didn't think we could do that, I was under the assumption that it was put three books together then not be able to use them again. Except for that power round we did. Maybe there was another one and we missed it?

Oh that makes sense why you don't enjoy the portrayal. I've never seen dragons portrayed as lazy before...And I don't know, I thought we could only use them once as well
Maybe we should ask one of the Mods, they would know.
alright, just let me know what she says.
Okay! Because it would be great if we could reuse them
Madelyn said you can't repeat them
I thought so, I wonder what those other teams were doing then?
I just finished a book called The Healer's Apprentice that I plan on using in a boxed set about FairyTale retellings. So I think we should use Cress in that set instead of the fantasy set.
What are you planning on reading next?
