Yo, so we are four people so far :D, that's cool. Should be easy to split and for whom gonna go with whom :D we can entrust someone to do the draw, should be straightforward too (I can do it!). For the pages I would go with 200. What about you guys?
Mod
1-2-3-4-1
1 recommande à 2 qui recommande à 3-etc. Et la boucle est bouclée! This way each one will interact with at least two people.
What do you think ? Dans ce cas il suffit que vous donniez un chiffre ;)

Alors, vous le sentez comment on fait le challenge avec un partenaire (c'est à dire vous lui recommandez un titre et il fait de même pour vous), ou bien on recommande à un participant et on se fait recommander par un autre ?
Dans la première option on fera un tirage au sort que Motaquillah s'est porté volontaire de réaliser (clap clap clap. Merci :D). Dans la deuxième option on choisit un chiffre et on forme le cercle 1-2-3-..-6.
Il faut penser au temps nécessaire pou trouver les titres proposés dans les langues souhaitées pour le challenge. Alors à vos claviers! Let's get this party started ;)

When I saw the 1-2-3 I was so convinced that I was in the wrong forum and that the message was talking about some kinda of football attack strategy (3-5-2)

Nah :D I did, was just joking around. To make it even better we can associate the numbers to the members by the order they joined the challenge.
PS: I added so much emojis in the previous message to hint the jokes, but they were removed from the posted message :( which made me look so rude :D apologies. anyway yeah ... lesson learned never use emojis in Goodreads.

Your idea works better. So that makes:
- Number 1 Sophia (me)
- Number 2 Moutaquillah
- Number 3 El Mehdi
- Number 4 Haifa
- Number 5 Abdel
- Number 6 Fatima Azzahra.
And we follow this order : 1-2-3-4-5-6-1
The "-" between the numbers means "recommends a book to".
Remember, the book should not exceed 200 pages (more or less a few pages), and if someone has trouble finding the books let's help each other out, okay? ;)
Particularly excited about this challenge :D
Mod
Donc j'ai regardé plus attentivement ta liste et je te recommande
Into the Wild Paperback, 207 pages
Something tells me you're gonna love it :)
Are you familiar with the movie?

Donc j'ai regardé plus attentivement ta liste et je te recommande
[book:Into the Wild|1845..."
Well Sophia, robots suck you know that :D and Goodreads is a cold, humourless sun of beach robot :p. You done well by looking into the data. (Some dramatic music please!). (but seriously thanks for taking the time to look through my to-read list (y)).
Yeah Into The Wild is one of my favorite movies of all time and I like it even more because of its music, composed by Eddie Vedder.
Believe it or not I just re-watched the movie last month and I was planing to read the book after that but I got carried away. So yeah thank you :D.

@El mehdi, I will recommend you one of the books that changed who I am and I hope you will enjoy it – I hope you didn't read it yet (I wish I could experience it for the first time <3).
The book is called The Catcher in the Rye.
it was translated to every possible language you can imagine :D. So you won't have an issue concerning the languages.
let me know how it went!

By the way, I don't wanna take the credit for going through the 400 titles (I did that after I read your comment and felt guilty), I actually took a look at your "read list". But see, it turned out well! Human intuition (I don't wanna seem sexist).
I love the movie too. It is still one of my favourites. Everything about it is just breathtaking and also heartbreaking at the same time.
Wishing you a happy reading!
Oh, and now I have Mozart playing in the back of my head XD so... Thanks lol.
Mod
Même si j'ai un tout petit peu ça dit "You're never think of you mother the same way again after you read this book". Je sens de la venir la culpabilité envers ma maman XD

Aha, good one :D never doubt a woman's Intuition :P. Thanks and enjoy your read too. It will be hard for me to find the French version I think there's one French book-store in town so wish me good luck.
By the way here's a nice website to help you find translations for a book and their names: http://www.worldcat.org/

( jai testé le titre que Fatima Azzahra m'a recommandé, comme par hasard il n'y a pas l'option French. Si elle m'avait pas donne j'aurais jamais trouvé je crois XD)
Merci Fatima Azzahra.
Mod
Tu as un autre titre à me proposer ?
Mod
Merci Fatima Azzahra ! Allez je me lance :D
Mod
Tu recommandera du coup un titre pour Abdel.
Mod
Still here :D I'm sorry I missed out on the discussion (stupid Goodreads setting-issue)Thank you El Mehdi for your recommendation (Go ask Alice) I already fetched it in both french and english! And as to Abdel, I recommended "De profundis - Oscar Wilde" (à défaut: La chute - Alber Camus)
I'm so glad to be a part of this! Happy reading everyone :)
Mod
Thank youu !
Bonjour HaifaJ'ai choisi: La chute - Alber Camus
Merci beaucoup

The challenge is set for the next weekend (16-17-18th Sept). But better be prepared ! Let us brainstorm a little bit about this one, shall we ;D
A member suggested a brilliant idea already : that each one picks a person from the group and chooses a book to read for him/her. How do you feel about it ?
I think it's better to leave the genre and the number of langages open so that people would feel more at ease, but we need to make a decision together about :
- The number of pages the book should not exceed.
- How are we gonna select our next victim :D (also depends on how many people are gonna join the challenge)
Voilà ! Can't wait to hear your thoughts :)
