[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

I can do Stealing Snow for O1 snowflake but it won't be till later in the week as I have two review books that need to be done by Thursday/Friday ( and 600 pages and 460 pages respectively)- and neither work for the left over card numbers :-/ in regards to B5 , The title is firewalker but the series is worldwalker, not sure if that would work for the B5Title contains world?

[Skandia]

For O4 - could you say finishing the series reading last book can work for getting over (finish) line?

If it works- I'm going to read last book in Crossfire series anyway.

Karishma, I already started reading for I2 (msg. 2931). If you are reading for the same task, pl. let me know. I would stop reading for this.

[Viji]

Karishma wrote: "Sorry i didn't notice. I have finished reading also."

It is great, Karishma! If you have already completed it, pl. post it. I will take up something else. It does not matter. I started reading the book only today and I could change it for something else. After all, we have to complete the all the slots.

[Kimberly]

I am currently reading SEA OF TRANQUILITY

I will most likely finish it day. It can fit the Young Adult genre goal?

[Kimberly]

Today.

[Ange]

Ashley and Nikk me and Gillian have set up a pokemon whatsapp group send me your deets by pm if you are keen (nerdy I know but oh so cool haha)

No you hadnt mentioned it, thats so cool were birth buddies. Ive never met anyone else born on my birthday.

[Ange]

I will have a look when I get home from work tonight to see what is left to read for.

Definitely keen! I am sending through my deets now. I just had to download whatsapp first ;-P

[Ashley]

Cards have been updated in post 2928 :)

- Karishma is I2 as Viji will read for G4 instead
- Noa is O1 snowflake as she will read before Nikk
- Kimberly YA has been completed with a homeless book
- Skandia O4 has been completed with a homeless book
- Nikk series doesn't count as title and it needs to be the actual word (plurals are okay)

I think that's all :)

All good - sorry I am not much help this week. Hopefully some of my books will be useful on the next card

[~~~N~~~]

Finished Black Gold. This actually isn't the snowflake book I was reading, but I finished it first and it fits if you use it as Snowflake = symbolism for innocence.

They are picture cards for polar bears and squirrels so can get a little bit creative! I'll pop you down for World

[~~~N~~~]

I'm reading something that fits for Polar Bears.

[Kimberly]

I'm reading H is for Hawk. Hawks eat squirrels. Will that work?

[~~~N~~~]

This work?

Read The Bronze Key for Polar Bears.

In a literal sense, there are actually bears in snow in the book.
Symbolically, the book fits the following meanings I got from Google (except those I left blank):
Skill - It's set in a school where they train to improve their skills
Magic - Everyone in the book is magic
Power - There's extensive talk about the most powerful mages
Wisdom - There's multiple wise teacher figures
Strength - Battles occur
Strategy - Many traps are set in the book
Cunning - Many traps are set in the book
Survival - Battles for life and death
Initiation
Isolation - Secrets isolate the main characters
Transition - The MC is a teen.
Extremes
Humanity - Someone's humanity is literally destroyed through Chaos
Vigilance - They guard against an assassin
Endurance - They test magical endurance
Playfulness - Multiple pranks in the book
Compassion - They save animals from being destroyed
Adaptability
Independence - It's supposed to be the year of independence and responsibility
Introspection - The book is somewhat about whether someone is actually evil
Motherhood - There's a protective mother in the book
Determination
Contemplation

Completion Post

book: Empire of Storms
Date read: 7/9/16

[Gillian]

I can read for 10th in Series

[Gillian]

Completed
by Rachel Caine
Tile: G5

[Kimberly]

I will finish H is for Hawk tonight.

Please use it for flying squirrels. If you did not like my Hawks eat Squirrels suggestion, here is a logic puzzle that will surely convince you.

A = Flying Squirrels
B = Flying Hawks
X = Flying Animals

A = X (Flying Squirrels are Flying Animals)
B = X (Flying Hawks are Flying Animals)
therefore:
A = B (Flying Squirrels are Flying Hawks)

:)

[Ange]

Haha love the reasoning Kimberley.

Already had you down :)

[~~~N~~~]

Could you please update the list for incomplete tiles?

P.S. First day at a new job today :3 and I'm reading The Great Mortality, which is an extremely interesting book on the Black Death.

[Kimberly]

As promised, I finished H is for Hawk.

:)

What do we need now?

[Kimberly]

*** there were, in fact, squirrels in H is for Hawk!

[~~~N~~~]

I can do current BOM. (Could it possibly be for a different goodreads group?)

[Ange]

How did the new job go Noa?

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

I have signed for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms BOM but that isn't due to start till 12/9 so if someone reads one of the BOMs, please feel free to grab.

Noa, I get the feeling it needs to be a BOM for this group. How was your first day?

Congrats on the new job Noa hope you are enjoying it.

[~~~N~~~]

It went great, but to be honest, you never know till a few weeks in, right? So holding my breathe :)

Nikk, in that case, I think I'll let you grab it. Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for the well wishes, Gillian ^.^

[Kimberly]

Hi. Just checking in. I'm reading THE WEIGHT OF SILENCE - but I don't think it will fit any subjects. Hopefully it will work for the next card.
