Heather | 10157 comments Could you use a July release from a previous year or does it have to be from this year?

It's for any July release, 2014 or 2004, it's all the same.

I'm sorry Courtney but we're going to have to say no. You need to find someone to discuss it with you if you want to count it as a buddy read.

sam (samlo28) Sorry if this was asked but I didn't see it: after completing a line, do you get a new board or do you only get a new board after filling it completely?

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90928 comments Mod
After completing a line you just carry on and try to complete more lines for more points. there is only one set of blocks available ☺

Can Another Little Piece by Kate Karyus Quinn be used for mystery?


message 258: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90928 comments Mod
I think that should be fine for mystery ☺


message 259: by Heather (new)

Heather | 10157 comments Have I participated enough in the GBR of Let the Sky fall for it to count for that block?


message 260: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90928 comments Mod
You probably need to make another 2 comments, and they must be about something specific happening in the book. If you do that it should be fine ☺

For elements I read either Let the Sky Fall (Let the Sky Fall, #1) by Shannon Messenger or Let the Storm Break (Let the Sky Fall, #2) by Shannon Messenger cannot remember which. For be brave I am thinking Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles, #1) by Kami Garcia Fallen (Fallen, #1) by Lauren Kate Fallen (Fallen, #1) by Lauren Kate Uglies (Uglies, #1) by Scott Westerfeld The 5th Wave (The Fifth Wave, #1) by Rick Yancey or New Moon (Twilight, #2) by Stephenie Meyer . I also have The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling . Not sure what I am going to do for Inked. You have any? I'm going to go look now and see if I have nay good ones. :)

I have the third one of that series and I already read it. I didn't enjoy it that much so I'll pass on that one.

I don't think so, since even the ones who hated it finished it. But this DNF thing is subjective so maybe Abbie will accept it :D .

We just go from the DNF shelves on Goodreads, I have to say that there are some amazing books on there that people have DNFed so it might actually be not too bad a square.

@Margarita The freebies (Amazon) that I found with tattooed protagonists:

The Space Between (The Book of Phoenix, #1) by Kristie Cook Ruined by You (By You, #1) by Kelly Harper Tall, Tatted and Tempting (The Reed Brothers, #1) by Tammy Falkner First Ink (Wicked Ink Chronicles, #1) by Laura Wright Hard Body Rock (Body Rock, #1) by Nora Flite Accidental Fate by M.A. Stacie Unfiltered & Unlawful (Unfiltered, #1) by Payge Galvin

Altered (Altered, #1) by Jennifer Rush is YA. :)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments If you find a book where castes/ranks are tattooed onto them, they will count too.

Aren't they tattooed with a number in Pawn (The Blackcoat Rebellion, #1) by Aimee Carter ?

I have previously attempted it and left it DNF because I hated it but I might go back and finish it for the challenge! :)

Yep. There's one book in the maze runner series where they get tattooed with a rank as well.
They were tattooed with a number in Impostor (Variants, #1) by Susanne Winnacker as well wasn't they?

There's over 36,000 books on the first list so don't put yourself through the pain of going back to it! Haha.

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments Just seen Feed (Newsflesh Trilogy, #1) by Mira Grant on the DNF list, so if anyone is joining in on the GBR and have already crossed that block off with Let the Sky Fall (Let the Sky Fall, #1) by Shannon Messenger or have plans to read another GBR as well, you could use that. :)

Yes they are. They have a tattoo for their cast. I remember I used this as a book for tattoo in one of my previous challenges :) .

No, they weren't tattooed in Variants.

Rachmi  | 4882 comments @Abbie, I didn't join hangman challenge but I need to read something for Hangman's Shelf to make one line. In previous message you said that I can use your book shelf, 3 books I've read aren't in your shelf, can I use Sarah's shelf instead?


message 290: by Abi (new)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments That's fine Rachmi. :)


message 291: by [deleted user] (new)

The page block is 400+ :)


message 294: by rachel, x (new)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 8401 comments How do you know if a book counts for "hangman's shelf" again sorry? Does Fire & Flood (Fire & Flood, #1) by Victoria Scott count for it?


message 295: by Abi (new)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments If you're not participating in the hangman challenge, you can use Sarah's or my shelf. So fire and flood would count for you. :)


Life is wasted on the living [Elena] | 33 comments what about Dusty Book? Since I'm not participating in that challenge, can I simply choose one of the books on someone's Clean your Shelf list?
I have already chosen Ignite Me from Hannelore's shelf, so is that Ok?

Christina | 4293 comments The Demigod Files (Percy Jackson and the Olympians) by Rick Riordan Can this be considered for the retelling block? Greek mythology etc Might be far fetched..


message 299: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90928 comments Mod
It's been shelved as a 'retelling' by 3 people, but we'll have to let Abbie have the final say ☺


message 300: by Abi (new)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments It's in the top 300 genre tags so i'll allow it. :)
