Lory | 629 comments Completion! Never Never Never Never (Never Never, #1) by Colleen Hoover

Still searching for me next book!

Lory | 629 comments Sorry, that works for the Bonus Labor Title Relay.


message 4453: by Lory (new)

Lory | 629 comments Does the medal work if there is an "award" medal on the book. For example, the newberry medal or another literary medal stamped on the book?

For example: The Giver (The Giver, #1) by Lois Lowry

I know! That was crazy, right? Love the premise! Though I felt like the two perspectives could have been a bit more distinct in terms of voice.

Yeah, it is! And it was good and weird. I'll definitely be reading the rest of them.

Never Never is still available for free on Kindle and we DO have another Title Relay task, in case anyone else wants to get in on this book. *nudge*nudge*wink*wink* It even works for the first book in the Bonus #7 since it's #1 in the series!
