Btw, Snowtulip, I see that your reason for the window book is that "window" is in the text. That won't be enough!

Is there another way you can connect your HP book with the window?

It needs to be a reaaaally important window and have some serious importance for the story to be able to count for a valid reason to make a connection between the square and the book.

Hehehe, nah! I would never say such a thing! ;-)

I didn't do the strike-through for one of them but the rest was all good.

Waiting on the mods now to arrange for the powersquare to be tripled (instead of doubled as it normally would be) - as it needed to be requested before we start inputting things - and then we can start adding books to the grid.

Not much left to be done now!

I also just finished the horse book - what a load of bull, and it could have been so nice, actually.

Cool! Hopefully it's an enjoyable read! :-)

Jessica | 296 comments So far I am really enjoying it :)

That's another good one! Kristen Ashley is known for her short books... LOL! (NOT!)

I'm getting ready to read one of hers from the Chaos series
Walk Through Fire (Chaos, #4) by Kristen Ashley ..... 18 hour audio....


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Eldarwen, let me know if the food cover works.

I also emailed you my currency photo!!!

But my POFM shelf is messed up so I have some random choices for me this month!

Food cover is good, we talked it through :-)

And yes!! Thanks! I'll get those uploaded tonight. Wasn't home yesterday and things are a little crazy at the moment, but will get them up very soon!

TAMIKA!

About that hockey book of yours. I'm not sure if you saw my message and I'm not sure if I might not have missed your reply, so here goes again haha.

Are there characters who are constantly passing to each other? Goal getters working in pairs, or something along those lines? That would be better for the "Ride a Banana" square than the goalie.


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Lol. I haven't read it yet. It's a sport series where they explain it in details. I'll have to see if it fits.

MelanieJoy (ladybird11) | 1423 comments Hey guys Melanie again - I'm reading Throne of Glass and I'm about 3/4 finished - please tell me she ends up with Chaol instead of Dorian!!!! Dorian isn't bad but I'm totally team Chaol, even when he's an asshole!!!

Haha you'll have to wait and see! I'm not going to give you any clues! :-)

Just know that it's quite a good ending!

message 4575: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments Do we need another book for I3?

I just finished Brown Girl Dreaming and she talks about not being able to go outside while it is raining (several times; she doesn't like it when it rains and she can't go out) and watching her best friend play with another girl.

Just an idea :)


message 4576: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Lots of good progress! Whoop-Whoop!

It doesn't look like we've hit the bonus yet either...
Big pressure for big books remaining!!! HA!

Thanks Jessica ~ I think E found another book from the bank that had galoshes & rain on the cover!


message 4578: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13763 comments Mod
Yup, I did find something.
Though that would've been an option as well, Jessica! I think that would have been a good enough reasoning.


message 4579: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments No problem :)

Are we still going for a blackout? The local library has Devil May Care and Our Only May Amelia on audiobook and I can listen to either of them tomorrow during work if we still need "Title contains May" square covered.


message 4580: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13763 comments Mod
Nobody's claimed that one so far, so feel free to go for it! :-)

And yes, we're going for blackout.

Hhhmm, they time travel, and sometimes time travel is referred to as windows of time???

Oh, oh, oh....I really want to speak up!!!! I wish I could read this series over without knowing what happens in each book!!!

You are in for a fun ride Melanie :D


message 4583: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13763 comments Mod
Time travel, yes, that would work I'd say!


message 4584: by Snowtulip (last edited Aug 25, 2016 02:47PM) (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Ok, I searched my kindle for ride a banana....

Splintered (Splintered, #1) by A.G. Howard -"I'm riding the banana train"
The Trouble with Destiny by Lauren Morrill -"How bad could a banana boat be"

Or will text in the book not work for this either? Probably not, since window didn't work...


message 4585: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13763 comments Mod
Text in the book doesn't work, at all.

It needs to be a valid connection, a reasoning for why something works (if it isn't a title or cover thing).


message 4586: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13763 comments Mod
Your second option though... If they're doing a fun-at-the-beach kind of thing, or in a funpark or something along those lines, you know a place where those kinds of weirdo banana boats are used (and it's a larger part of the book of course), then that might work?

Eldarwen | 13763 comments Mod
Anyway, K can answer further questions - I'm heading off to bed as it's almost midnight.

Tomorrow is Friday!!!! And tomorrow is also my last day at work, then I'm off for 2 weeks!! :-D
Cannot wait!!

Also, from Saturday 27th to Tuesday 30th, I will not be around as I will be on holiday for hose few days. But K and V will hold the fort of course :-)

Good night!

Nope, don't think that's the case...I'm out of ideas for ride a banana...

I still have the Chaos one to read but after Bounty I need to wait a bit. There were some exceptionally long descriptive parts in it, more than usual.

I have to pace myself with her books as well!


message 4594: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments What about this one for our banana spot...?
He Comes Next The Thinking Woman's Guide to Pleasuring a Man by Ian Kerner

Or this one looks like a cat is maybe trying to ride a banana...
(Look at all those paw prints around the bananas...)
The Cat Who Went Bananas (Cat Who... #27) by Lilian Jackson Braun

Here is a bee trying to ride on a banana
(unfortunately the page count doesn't work...)
The Monkey and the Bee by C.P. Bloom

Here are bananas riding on a spaceship...
The Secret Invasion of Bananas And Other Poems by Robert Priest

A backpack riding a banana
Monty Banana & the Roller Skates by Tanya Maude

There is actually a listopia for banana books but most are either about "riding a banana" or kiddie books....

Snowtulip | 4679 comments I really thought an Erotica book would have had it covered...


message 4596: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I definitely think it fits the criteria!
Did that idea get vetoed?


message 4597: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Didn't it? Or am I imagining things...

Snowtulip | 4679 comments If it didn't get vetoed, LaurLa read an Erotica yesterday...


message 4599: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I hope you are imagining things! LOL! We'll set that one aside tonight on the s/s and check with E before submitting it tomorrow!
