[Jackie]

Thanks Delitealex☺️

[Melany]

Checking in

[Jackie]

Thanks Melany☺️

[Courtney]

Checkin in!

[Melany]

So do you guys have any books that can fit one of the first four categories? I'm pretty sure I have one for the vows and the venue. Also, I think I have one for the Invitations, but not sure how we prove it was a recommendation.

[C.P.]

There really isn't a way to prove a recommendation, so we're taking your word for it. :)

[Jackie]

Thanks Courtney☺️

[Melany]

Ok thank you for clearing that up!

[Jackie]

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

[Delitealex]

So far only found for food in the title The Cake

[Jackie]

There are quite a few mystery books that have food in the title.

[Melany]

I've got one I could read for it .

I have one for each of these categories
The Venue:
The Invitations: my brother told me to read it, this could also be used as The gift becasue he gave to me
The Cake:
The vows: Pretty sure it has a wedding in it but not 100% sure so might not be best for me to do this one

I have at least one book for most category (not that I'll read them all) The one I know I don't have a book for are:
13) Horse and Carriage: Read a book with a horse on the cover
21) Wedding Planner: Read a book with a card or letter on the cover
23) The Photographer: Read a book involving photography
30) The Toast: Read a book with a drink/glass/bottle on the cover

Ones I'm not sure I have one for:
22) Mother of the Groom/Father of the Bride: Read a book revolving around the relationship between a parent and their child
24) The Honeymoon: Read a book involving travel
29) Seating: Read a book with family conflict

How about you guys?

[Delitealex]

I a few for horse and carriage the toast the photographer.

[Melany]

Awesome, do you have any for the first 4 we were given and which one do you want to read first?

[Delitealex]

Probably the cake-food in the title

[Melany]

Ok thats great

[Delitealex]

I also found one that fits for invitations

[Melany]

Cool! Hopefully, we can get that everyone only has to read one category at a time. So which one do you want to read more?

[Delitealex]

for invitations I've been wanting to read it for a while.

[Delitealex]

What category would you prefer to read for Melany

[Melany]

Not really sure maybe the Venue or the cake because I'm not 100% sure if the book I picked for the vow has a wedding in it

[Salha]

Hello!

Checking in :)

[Jackie]

Thanks Salha☺️

[Salha]

Could The Grapes of Wrath be used for "The Cake" category?

[C.P.]

Yes, that would count. :)

[Jackie]

Definitely. :)

[Courtney]

Hey Team! Sorry I've been a little MIA with the discussion. Let me know what category I've gotta cover and I'll get it done. :-)

[Jackie]

No worries Courtney. :)

[Melany]

Hi do you have a boom for all four of the categories? And I think Delitealex is going to do the cake.

[Courtney]

I've definitely got access to books in all four categories, I work in a book store :-)

[Megan]

Hi team, checking in! :) I'll see what I have and post them either tonight or tomorrow. :)

[Jackie]

Thanks Megan☺️

[Delitealex]

I can read for invitations if someone is already planning on reading something to fit the cake category

[Melany]

OK so we'll wait for Megan to see which one she has because I can do any of the four too though I'm not sure about my pick about for the vow

[Delitealex]

Each category has to be done 3 times so Salha and 2 others can do cake anyone have books lined up to read that fit the categories.

[Megan]

I have options for all four, but these are the ones I will probably most want to read first:

The Vows - or
The Venue -

[Melany]

Awesome could you do the vow?
Then Salha could do The Cake
Delitealex could do the invitation
And I could do The Venue?
And Courtney can do a second book for any of the four categories we were given to start off or one of the other categories so we can get ahead, and instead of posting in the review section post it here so we can move it over when we need it? How does that sound?
If you guys want to do anything differently just say so. This is just a suggestion :)

[Courtney]

Sounds super organized, love it.

[Melany]

Lol thanks! Are you OK with how I set it up? Do you have an idea of what category you're going to read for?

[Delitealex]

Melany wrote: "Lol thanks! Are you OK with how I set it up? Do you have an idea of what category you're going to read for?"

Im not sure i get what you mean.

[Melany]

About what? About Courtney reading another category?

[Delitealex]

We have to have 3 people read each of the 4 categories right? I'm just making sure i haven't participated in one of these challenges in a while.

[Melany]

But we have 5 members that all checked so if everyone reads for one category one person will have nothing to read for. So the fifth person can do one of 3 things

1. The could wait until one of us finished our challenge and then do the next one assigned to us,

2. they can do one of the challenges given to us so that we have an extra when it repeated

3. They can read a book for a future category or preferable a book that can fits for several future categories so everyone is reading and maybe we can get ahead.

But that just the way I think we should do it, we can do it a different way.

[Melany]

This will probably change as the month goes on everyone has different schedules

[Delitealex]

No one would be left out because we have to have 3 separate books read per category to get the next category.

[Courtney]

I've got for The Venue category.
