Start space: 65
Number rolled: 2
Landed on: 67. MUSIC STORE - Read a book with an instrument on the cover Guitar Notes by Mary Amato finished 12/09/2018

The 'notes' in guitar notes didn't just mean musical notes, almost all of this book was written in notes and text messages between the two main characters so it made for a very quick read. It was a cute book though.

I am really am sorry, I started a load of challenges at once and didn't know about the rule about backdating.

I've not been ignoring you, I just genuinely didn't see your posts.

I'm going back now and editing the challenges where I've done this mistakenly. Just to check. This is any challenge that says 'from challenge date'?

Yes, only timed challenges started in 2018 are ok for backdating, but not past monthly challenges.

Mama X (mamax) It seems like I'm never going to get around to reading When Dimple Met Rishi. I wonder if I can figure out a different book that has jewelry on the front...


message 787: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 907 comments Oh, there are lots of jewelry covers. Do you have any books where the leading lady is wearing an earring or two, a necklace, or a ring? Those are quite common, I think. Need some suggestions?

I was interrupted by my baby girl. LOL I was about to look through my TBR to see if I could find anything. If not, I'll come back and ask for suggestions. I prefer YA books. I'd rather not add too many books to my TBR though because I already have so many.


message 789: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 907 comments I hope you're able to find something in your collection of books. That's the ideal situation, naturally. If you aren't, I'll hunt for a few that might work. I don't read a lot of YA, so I won't know if the books are good/clean/etc. or not, but I can help find covers that will work, if you need help.


message 790: by Mama X (new)

Mama X (mamax) Children of Blood and Bone (Legacy of Orïsha, #1) by Tomi Adeyemi I might read Children of Blood and Bone for jewelry book cover. Technically, the thing around her head is a type of jewelry, right? I already have the audiobook on hold and since there's a long line and I'm #1 in that line, I don't plan to let it expire before finishing it! If I do, it might be months before I can get it again.

Wonder Woman Warbringer (DC Icons, #1) by Leigh Bardugo Another option is maybe Wonder Woman: Warbringer. Do her cuffs count? I have to be complicated. LoL

My Lady Jane (The Lady Janies, #1) by Cynthia Hand My Lady Jane is one I plan to read soon and she has earrings on.

So what do you guys think? I know My Lady Jane is a yes, but I wasn't quite ready to read it yet. I wanted to read the other two first. Yes or no to Children of Blood & Bone and Wonder Woman?

Thank you. I picked out 3 that might work (see above). :)


message 792: by Andrea (new)

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 907 comments Oh, I'm glad you have a few that might work for you. I've been seeing My Lady Jane popping up in my feed a lot lately, so I'm thinking a lot of different folks must be enjoying it in recent weeks. Whichever one you choose, I hope it's a fun read for you.

I hear it's funny. I really need a chuckle or two in my life.

Andrea Cox (andreacox) | 907 comments Carrie, my favorite is Full Steam Ahead (Full Steam Ahead, #1) by Karen Witemeyer , but that's probably because it dove a bit deeper than I was used to. I'm an emotional reader, so I love at least a bit of depth to stories. However, I've enjoyed these others by her as well:
A Tailor-Made Bride by Karen Witemeyer Head in the Clouds by Karen Witemeyer No Other Will Do (Ladies of Harper’s Station, #1) by Karen Witemeyer Love on the Mend (Full Steam Ahead, #1.5) by Karen Witemeyer Worth the Wait (Ladies of Harper’s Station, #1.5) by Karen Witemeyer

Head in the Clouds was the first I read, and it kept making my giggle box turn on. :)
