I can do it today if you want? As I’ll do double speed so it will take an hour. I’ll pause EC (87% through and have a buddy now yay) and start and finish the Pod Racer 👍🏼
I have my son’s swimming lessons this morning so can’t make the thread, if your on and can make it awesome. But if not I can do it when I’m home :)
I am not sure what to put it under. Sci-fi?

Okay. I havent started yet, but I am not to worried about it. My daughter hasnt been feeling to good so I havent done much of anything. I only got 6% more of Wrath of the Dragon King in.
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...Here’s the thread, I made it and added it to the March reads.
Hope your daughter is ok. What is she sick with? Or just an unsettled leap time?

The doctor says she is congested, but she also just got her shots yesterday. Those usually have her out for a day or two.
@jackie good work! Can’t wait to flip this board 🤞🏼🤞🏼@courtney aww poor darling! Yes shots knock them around 😩
Yeah! Same here!I’m also hoping to finish up this snmall tbr of books. I hate reading on a schedule 😂
I should hopefully finish
tonight

Yeah, I am a mood reader. A small tbr is still more than I want on my tbr lol. No I don’t usually have more, but I’m just glad I’ve been getting through the list of books. 😊 It takes off some pressure. Lol

Yes it’s good we cut the tbr down to just a few each, that way there’s leeway to mood read and not feel too much pressure. I can’t wait to flip the board 😝 that will be exciting! I’ve found an audio for the axe bonus and it’s a buddy. So once I finish my current audio I’ll take the spot. I kind of like half mood reading (picking what I want) and half reading books for challenge, as I find some good (and very bad) books by reading random things I find 😂
Yeah, I like finding random books to read too, but I’m really trying to read more books on my tbr shelf rather than find new ones. There are a couple books I’ve bought this month that I’m dying to get to! So as soon as April comes, I’m going to be locked in my house reading. 😂

Yes I need to read more of what I own! I think I pick up random books mainly for audio. As they are easier to get through and then my physicals are ebooks or books I own. I really need to motivate myself to read books on my shelf. I hate how once he hype is gone I forget them and then don’t feel like reading them

Am 20% into
my next audio will be
for axe description: bonus. Can you please put that in Courtney? I’m also 20% into rhapsodic (I’ve focused mainly on audio today not my ebook, but will read more of this tonight). Once I’m finished this I’m keen to try and read more throne of glass series. I’m up to heir or fire 👍🏼
Just finished

I juts was looking at our progress thread and was wondering why we had two books needed for part 1, when it says we have done 9/10 descriptions. The description you just posted for has been taken Jackie with Beatrice’s book https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Can we look to see if there’s two hands on the cover for wallbanger and try that description? I’ll have a look at the covers now
The cover you have has the girls two hands? Can we use that? I saw that hate notes is meant to move to letters of help in title, but that wouldn’t fit as there is no “l” or “p” ??
I think maybe Beatrice’s book was swapped to that one because it has the letters help in title and author, but this description is just title, so it won’t work. There are some that are title and author though, but not this one. So I’ve requested Jackie’s book move to two hands on the cover, as even if the white dress on Jackie’s matched book that we moved doesn’t get the bonus, it will still work for dress on the cover.
Yeah. I had originally read it for the two hands on the cover description, then I think you had suggested I try reading it for the ballgown one. So I believe it should be fine
Did we ever get an answer if it’s white or not?I don’t think we should request that it gets moved until we know if it gets the bonus.
Jacquelyn wrote: "Did we ever get an answer if it’s white or not?I don’t think we should request that it gets moved until we know if it gets the bonus."
We didn’t get an answer on the bonus, but I think it just needs a category. If we leave it there, you can use walllbanger for two hands, otherwise it doesn’t have a category. I think it’s best at this stage for all books to count, rather than try to find a book for the bonus.
What do you mean it doesn’t have a category?
Jacquelyn wrote: "Yeah. I had originally read it for the two hands on the cover description, then I think you had suggested I try reading it for the ballgown one. So I believe it should be fine"You know I’m talking about wallbanger though right, as it was posted for a description that has been used already
You posted wallbanger for a description that has been used already (see progress thread that I linked in messages above)
So I requested wallbanger for two hands on cover category. This way Beatrice’s book stays where it is (man on cover, as it wasn’t requested to move spots when Jackie posted, but also wouldn’t fit the help in title anyway, as we can’t use alternate edition titles), so we should leave it where it is on man on cover.
Then matched stays on dress on cover, regardless if it gets the white dress bonus.
This means all three books count, get it?

Would
work for #22 (it wouldn’t get bonus though)
I found the answer, yes. It’s been tagged as “Death” 30 times. So I can do that if no one has a book to read. I need to read it for my other challenge anyways.
I couldn’t put book covers in my post above when I copied and pasted, Hope that is still readable. Plus hope the change I made is all good, I just wanted all the books to count and not have one not with a description :)
Jacquelyn wrote: "I found the answer, yes. It’s been tagged as “Death” 30 times. So I can do that if no one has a book to read. I need to read it for my other challenge anyways."I think Courtney had one that had “death” in title
@jackie you haven’t commented on if it was all good for me requesting the change of your book. Are you ok that I requested that on review thread? I just didn’t want wallbanger to not count.
I think so, but was the change so y’all could incorporate that Sci if buddy Read? If so, yeah, I approve. Wallbanger has a 600 and an 840 page edition.
Jacquelyn wrote: "I think so, but was the change so y’all could incorporate that Sci if buddy Read? If so, yeah, I approve. Wallbanger has a 600 and an 840 page edition."No the sci fi buddy read had nothing to do with it? They went to descriptions that didn’t have anything on them.
The change was to count wallbanger as it didn’t have a spot, and I think 6 points is better than none 👍🏼
I cant believe I missed that. It was my mess up. I didnt relaize that Help had to be in title only. Sorry guys. I agree we should have all the books counted. I have a bonus book for death but I dont know if I can get to it in time so if you need a book to read take the spot Jacquelyn. Shae thanks for fixing my mess up. I am going to fix everything on my end in the first post.
Your good. It was my screw up. I didnt realize that it only said title. I am falling behind on reading sorry guys. I am hoping to get some done today.
@Courtney if you wouldn’t mind me using the death spot for Thunderhead, I’m almost done with my current audio and I’ll need another soon. If you truly want the spot I’m perfectly fine with that! 😊
No you can have it. I was just going to take a book off with my name so other people can off it if need be considering I have not read much lately.
Ok thanks Courtney! I’ll take it then! 😃
