[Em]

here's what i have that can match yours and Annalisa's

Me Before You
Ready Player One
The Forty Rules of Love
The Blind Side of the Heart
The Optimist's Daughter

but even if you guys end up choosing a book not on the list, i'm sure i can find something.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Like Cathy said it's best to pick books that do not start with articles (the, a, an), and start/end with common (not hard to find) words so that it will be easier for all of us to make matches.

Going with all that we have just mentioned we have the ff choices

Choice #1
1 The Viscount Who Loved Me- Annalisa
2 Me Before You- Em
3 You ----
4

Choice #2
-------------- (??)
--------Ready (??)
Ready Player One - Em
One True Loves- Kathleen

G..."

oops i was focusing too much on finding some matches, i forgot to pay attention to the other half of the titles 😅
here are some better(?) ones:
Twilight of the Eastern Gods
Midnight's Children
Never Let Me Go
Heart of Darkness

but honestly i think matching with whatever you guys want to read will be easier, i can find something else not yet on my tbr to match them :)

eta: Three Days to Never seems to be a better Never book :)

[Em]

noted, Kathleen 😅😁

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Let's wait for Cathy's books :)

[Cathy M.]

Do you have a book that begins with You Kathleen? If so, I can find something to read based off of your book. Just asking because it sounded like Annalisa had a more specific book list, ie books she currently has that she can read from.

[Cathy M.]

I have a lot of resources I use for books so it's easy for me to find something that fits once I have a starting point. I did have some books that I wanted to read but since there's only 2 weeks left, have been trying to find shorter ones so I can fit more books in :)

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I don't have anything for You. I can match books from Em's list but I don't have anything from Annalisa's list. I was hoping you were the bridge to connect us all ;)

[Cathy M.]

Just found You Say It First so if you want to find something beginning with First, we can do Relay #1.

Or You Belong to Me if you have a book starting with "Me".

[❀Tea❀]

I'm on app so no links, sorry. I can connct with this (those are currently on reader but still need to check rest of the books in calibre)
You say it first by Susan Mallery
Never Never *snikers* by James Patterson
King of Dublin by Lisa Henry

[Eldarwen]

*puts hand up*

I have a book as well that could work for one of your options ;-)

Reading: Fade Out

[Annalisa]

I can always pick something up from the library or online library. I'll check back in a few hours and if needed I can look for something not on my list.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Okay, narrowing down from everyone's current input...

Choice #1
The Viscount Who Loved Me- Annalisa
Me Before You- Em
You Say It First- Cathy
First Grave to the Right- Tea

Choice #2
Never Never- Tea
Never Say Never - Cathy
Never Fade- Kathleen
Fade Out- Eldarwen

Choice #3
The Optimist's Daughter- Em
Daughter of Pirate King- Kathleen
King of Dublin- Tea
Dublin ------------

*updated

[❀Tea❀]

if cathy reads you say it first, i can go with first grave to the right. of course if somebody else doesn't come with different option.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

We've now got two complete line ups for title relay!
Let's go with the first choice.

(Did we do this 5 times for WOBBLE?)

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Will read

A Wizard of Earthsea for TWT #2:2.1 (wizard in the title)
A Local Habitation for TWT #5:1.1 (book with pixies or fairies)

[Em]

Kathleen wrote: "We've now got two complete line ups for title relay!

if we're sure we're not taking the second choice, i'll start Me Before You tomorrow 😊

also please put me down for TWT #5 - 3.1. this should count for a pink cover, yes?

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Looks pink to me! So pink it hurts the eye ;)

Wait for E, Laura or Tea's eye-judgment ;)

[Eldarwen]

That does scream pink, yes!

all the better to erase any doubts, hopefully 😜

[Eldarwen]

Hehe ;-)

[Sunshine]

By the end of August, I will finish:

2.5.3: Read a book with the word “Phoenix” in title or text
The Heart's Invisible Furies
pages 108 & 201

1.5.4: Read a book with a person on the cover with their hand in their pocket
The City of Lovely Brothers

2.4.2: Read a book with Ghost in the title
The High King's Golden Tongue Since it is not in "quotes" I thought it would just be the letters.

5.2.4: Read a book that has a story/tale within the novel
The Book Thief
(view spoiler)[ "Death" narrates the story about WWII Germany. He tells the story of "The Book Thief" (hide spoiler)]

2.1.1 Read a book with Iron in the title
The Devil I Know Since it is not in "quotes" I thought it would just be the letters.

I'm not sure if these iwill be able to fit into TW, but also plan to finish these this month:
The Cowboy's Baby
P.S. I Spook You
Call Me By Your Name

[Eldarwen]

"Phoenix in title" and "hand in pocket" are yours, Sunshine!

As for "ghost" and "Iron", I'm pretty sure it also needs to be the entire words. The quotation marks were probably just forgotten. I'll double-check though and will let you know if it can just be the letters making up the word rather than the entire word.

I'm hesitant for Book Thief though. While Death does narrate the girl's story, he is still, in the very basics, like any other kind of narrator.
The idea behind the "story/tale within the novel" was explained with the 7th Harry Potter book, where the story of the three brothers is narrated to the main characters, rather than an omniscient narrator telling a story over the entirety of the novel.

[Cathy M.]

We're doing the 1st one for the Relay right? Just want to get my books in order :)

I'll be reading next for:

Snake on cover
Hat on cover
Picture on cover

[Annalisa]

I'm currently listening to a book for the Halloween task. I also just finished another How to Train your Dragon book. I think we may need to move books around if those still listed as reading for dragon are planning on doing so. The first book works for Phoenix in the text. I know that task was just claimed though.

[Eldarwen]

E, will the staff work for club like object?

[Eldarwen]

Kathleen wrote: "E, will the staff work for club like object?

"

I think that particular staff could work, with the rounded off part at the top, can be swung like a club, too.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Annalisa can have the other dragon task "reserved" for me and then put me for club like object on cover then. Finally on vacay tomorrow, hope to finish it (finally!!!!).

Also I got this from Amazon freebie... will this work for clock on cover?

Or is it more of a watch?

How about this?

Big Ben is in the background?

[Eldarwen]

Haha, I've been eyeing that one as well but it's a pocket watch so I wouldn't take that for a clock.

Big Ben in the background will work. That is most definitely a clock! Really small though. (Bec McMaster writes well, btw.) Got anything bigger by any chance? Clock, I mean.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Currently, no. I thought clocks were easy to find! I like Bec McMaster's books so far. Always fun!

[Eldarwen]

Have you read the London Steampunk series?

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Yasss! Moving on to her other series now. It's like how I wished Gail Carriger would write a more adult version of her books ;)

[Eldarwen]

Yeaah.. I enjoyed the first few books but I still haven't finished the Parasol Protectorate... Will just have to get it over with and read it. I like Alexa and the rest of the cast in that series but the writing is... slow. I'm not going to continue with the other series though. Not really in the mood for her writing anymore, as much as I enjoyed the first book.

London Steampunk however... great, smooth reads!

[Annalisa]

When my audiobook hold for How to Cheat a Dragon Curse comes in I can cover Curse in title. I think I should get it in time as it is only 3.5 hours of audio.

I'm currently reading 1Q84 and it might fit a few places. One of the main characters is a teacher. It sort of has a white cover. There might be a story within a story. There are two narrative lines currently and I feel like there will be a big twist which is why I'm not sure off he story within a story.

Yeah, after three books tje things I found funny were becoming irritating xp I'm not sure if I am even gonna start her Finishing School series willingly aka without a challenge prompt to read it for. ;) I read one of her adult steampunk romance, it was okay but nothing remarkable. Still has a little bit of Alexa feel to her MC.

Too much face on that cover to be considered proper white unfortunately. But main character as teacher is probably a good task to have out of the way, so I'll just slot IQ84 in for that one.

Also scribbled you in for the Curse task.

[V_Nerdbooks]

just added a load on the read thread, there is a U book there if you need it x

[Annalisa]

I kind of thought 1Q84 wasn't white but I think white washed when I see it.
