Eni | 169 comments This incoming week i´ll be really busy. My little one is turning 6 in august and joining primary school in September... And the sign in period for the schools starts tomorrow. I have a bunch of paperwork to get ready and schools to visit. Cause i´m a procrastinator -_-'

Anyway, i´ll read the 2 books i signed up for this week and i'll post when i´m done, but i probably won´t have time to visit the thread that often (not that you gals notice, because most of the time i look at replies but never write anything oO)

Diana Costa | 1027 comments Do you think When You Reach Me may work for task 30. tall object on the cover?

Edit: Goodreads says it has a character named “Richard the lawyer”, so I’ll read the book anyway :)

Laura | 2892 comments Richard and a lawyer? Great!

I think the building could be something tall.

Christine | 64 comments I added The House by the River to the spreadsheet. Will it work for the April mini #38, book title that starts with "H" since the first word is "the?"


message 563: by Laura (new)

Laura | 2892 comments That works. :)

Is the lawyer named Richard? If so, can we move your book to the Richard task, #63? I'm reading The Spellman Files, and her brother is a lawyer.

Oh yes! Richard the lawyer, Goodreads got it right :)
I think you’ll like it, there is a reference to A Wrinkle in Time that now I want to read as well and I saw that you liked that one :)

I've read the Wrinkle in Time books so many times throughout the years!

Sarah Twiggs (twiggssl) | 572 comments I think Bellamy and the Brute works for a character that is blunt. Is there a way to “prove” it. I can copy a few statements she has already spewed, lol.

1 or 2 should be good.

"You had fun," I reminded him. "I got felt up at the movies, then treated to your pouting and sulking the rest of the night when I tried to push you away."

"You might want to lay off the needle," I told him before pedaling away. "I heard it shrinks the nads."

I am sure there are more, this was just from the first few pages...

Sarah Twiggs (twiggssl) | 572 comments I am almost done with Bellamy and the Brute...as soon as I am (should be tonight), I will start A Court of Mist and Fury...that should work for the task to read a book over 500 pages (book has 626).

Diana Costa | 1027 comments Do you think As Cientistas - 50 Mulheres que Mudaram o Mundo can work for task 57?

Laura | 2892 comments Diana wrote: "Do you think As Cientistas - 50 Mulheres que Mudaram o Mundo can work for task 57?"

Since the description mentions illustrations, I checked the word count. Unfortunately it is only 24, 633 words. So it won't work for this challenge. :(


message 591: by Laura (new)

Laura | 2892 comments But I've got one that works for that task!

Cinthia (cinthiah) | 308 comments Hey Ladies, I have a bit of a problem fitting the next book I plan to read in the mini challenges. Looking around, if we make a few changes, it can work. I guess they all involve Laura. Here's what I propose:
-Move Laura's "Mail Order Madness" from #59 to #50 (This is the spot I need, and Laura would have to write down what the risk is.
-Move my book from #50 to #7
-Move Laura's book from #7 to #28 (Laura has to say which country the book is in)
-I'll just have to try to fit that last book somewhere else later.

Laura, can this be done?

Cinthia (cinthiah) | 308 comments Would If I Should Die (Revenants, #3) by Amy Plum work for a predominant sky? Or is the girl in the cover ruining it? ;)


message 596: by Laura (new)

Laura | 2892 comments That sky looks predominant to me.

Go ahead and move my books wherever you need to. I’ll put in the reasons when I get a chance later.

Thanks, Laura. I'll do that. :)

If I can move that to predominant sky, then I can fit my other book in its spot.
