Yeah I think it's better there. We still might find a book with the word tree.
When you post your review of the hazel wood use this edition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3..."


I'll make sure that I use that edition when I post a review! Thanks for letting me know :)

✨ A ✨  (az_youread) | 50 comments @Crystal YAY! I'm also reading it with Klancy. We're starting on 1st march


message 55: by Natalia (new)

Natalia | 1585 comments I saw Because you love to hate me on Azrah's dnf list and I might read it. However it'll probably be around the second half of the month so if anyone has something else to read about that category can definitely go ahead.

Elizabeth Emily Browne (snakesandladderrs) | 2186 comments @Crystal I’ve read Poison princess 👑 be careful it’s addictive I’m on book 6 now🙈 and there are definitely cliffhangers so proceed with caution.

Awesome!! This is the link to the thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Also, welcome to the team Kate!

Please note that we have made a slight change to one of the descriptions -
38. The Goblin King warns Hoggle that if he disobeys, he'll drop him into the Bog of Eternal Stench, and he'll do the same if Sarah ever kisses him.
- No kissing allowed! Read a book which is not tagged 'romance' (at all).
EDIT: As long as your book is not tagged 'romance' on the first 10 pages of tags, we will count it ☺


message 62: by ✨ A ✨ (new)

✨ A ✨  (az_youread) | 50 comments hey guys so we have a few days left. we should plan as much as we can before march starts so we can avoid scrambling to find buddies to read with. please check the spread sheet again to see what you can fill up.


message 63: by ✨ A ✨ (new)

✨ A ✨  (az_youread) | 50 comments @klancy when you read hazel wood can you use this edtion for page numbers? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... 368 because im reading insurgent which is 555 pgs and that = to the exact amount of pages we need for prompt 20!!


message 64: by Klancy (new)

Klancy Hoover-Davis | 1333 comments So far I have 9 books planned with 6 of them being buddy reads! I'll probably wait a little bit for anyone else on the team to fill in the spreadsheet before I do just in case someone else really wants a description.

@Azrah Sure, I can use that edition! That worked out perfectly :)


message 65: by ✨ A ✨ (last edited Mar 01, 2019 02:24AM) (new)

✨ A ✨  (az_youread) | 50 comments Anyone interested? :

Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits, #1) by Katie McGarry - this book fits #1 and gets us the bonus points. Anyone interested?

Save the Date by Morgan Matson - fits the prompt of an object that you can throw + bonus points for chair on cover!


message 66: by ✨ A ✨ (new)

✨ A ✨  (az_youread) | 50 comments So I started with prompt #10 The Perfect Date by Evelyn Lozada which I have to read before 13:00 goodreads time


message 67: by Klancy (new)

Klancy Hoover-Davis | 1333 comments Good luck everyone with the challenge this month!

@Azrah Sounds good! Starting off strong :)

I'm starting A Curse So Dark and Lonely (A Curse So Dark and Lonely, #1) by Brigid Kemmerer today. It's supposed to be super slow at work today so I should have extra reading time. I'm sure I'll be able to finish the book either tonight or tomorrow morning


message 68: by ✨ A ✨ (new)

✨ A ✨  (az_youread) | 50 comments Posted my first review! And I completed before 13:00, so I got us the bonus points!!


message 69: by ✨ A ✨ (new)

✨ A ✨  (az_youread) | 50 comments @klancy someone asked Sarah if Cress would fit for prompt #3 (dead mother/stepmother) and she said yes. So I moved Cress there... Just wanted to let you know ☺

@Azrah Thanks for letting me know! Super excited that it counts for the bonus points 🙌🏻

message 73: by Kate (new)

Kate ★ (spillsandspoils) | 973 comments I've added few more books that I'm going to read for the month. Still trying to see if I can find more that is currently on the March BR list.

I'm starting a couple of books.

So sorry to update just now. Had a number of work interviews last week that I really had to prepare for. :)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90988 comments Mod
Hello everybody, just so everybody knows, for number 20, if you're going for the bonus and reading a book in less than 9 hours 23 minutes, please do a status update at 0% once you have marked the book as currently reading, and then another status update at 99% before marking the book as finished. If you do this Goodreads will log the time when you were at 0%, and again at 99%, which will show how long you were reading the book for, which will allow us to give you the bonus points ☺


message 75: by Klancy (new)

Klancy Hoover-Davis | 1333 comments Elizabeth Emily wrote: "Oh my god this flu is literally kicking my ass.😫"

@Kate No worries! How did your interviews go?

message 82: by Klancy (last edited Mar 06, 2019 05:19AM) (new)

Klancy Hoover-Davis | 1333 comments If I have time after the books I've planned I can maybe work it in. I committed myself to 10 books for this month, so I might not be able to.

I should be able to finish Cress (The Lunar Chronicles, #3) by Marissa Meyer today, though!


message 83: by Elizabeth Emily (new)

Elizabeth Emily Browne (snakesandladderrs) | 2186 comments Bad news guys Last time I lied doesn't work for number 12 and I'm not sure where else I could put it.


message 84: by Klancy (new)

Klancy Hoover-Davis | 1333 comments You could maybe use it for #58 read a book that has a 'H' in the title or author's name. It's The Last Time I Lied, right?


message 85: by Klancy (last edited Mar 07, 2019 09:04AM) (new)

Klancy Hoover-Davis | 1333 comments Hey, guys! Hope everyone is enjoying their currents reads! :)

I'm taking a break from reading for the day because my BRs for Rebel Belle (Rebel Belle, #1) by Rachel Hawkins and Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #1) by Laini Taylor don't start until tomorrow, and because I also need to finish writing a blog post that's due in a couple of days lol.

But we're second at the moment in the team standings, so we're doing really well!


message 86: by Elizabeth Emily (new)

Elizabeth Emily Browne (snakesandladderrs) | 2186 comments @klancy. Yes it is but has someone else put one down for that?


message 87: by Klancy (new)

Klancy Hoover-Davis | 1333 comments It doesn’t look like it :)


message 88: by ✨ A ✨ (new)

✨ A ✨  (az_youread) | 50 comments Hey guys! So I finished a couple of books this week and I just haven't gotten around to the reviews yet. But the moment I can (probably the weekend) I'll post them 😆


❀ Crystal ✿ -  PEACE ☮ LOVE ♥ BOOKS  (crystaldc18) | 10122 comments Hey so I'll be doing The Wish Collector by Mia Sheridan for #5 also because it has 'wish' in the title we get the bonus. It is a Buddy Read starting the 16th if anyone would wanna join in and perhaps use it for round #2. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...


message 90: by ✨ A ✨ (new)

✨ A ✨  (az_youread) | 50 comments @Natalia I moved The Wicked King (The Folk of the Air, #2) by Holly Black to prompt #51 bonus points if tagged ‘junk’. And it is! Here's a link to where it is specifically tagged junk. https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/... (I don't know why it is, I loved that book 😆)

@klancy I really want to read Uprooted by Naomi Novik (it will get us bonus points for Up) so I moved your book Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #1) by Laini Taylor to #16 (book with eyes on cover)..hope that's okay ☺


message 91: by Klancy (new)

Klancy Hoover-Davis | 1333 comments No worries, thanks for letting me know! I also moved where I had DoSaB in the Round 1 tab, so you can add Uprooted there when you start it :)

@Crystal The Wish Collector by Mia Sheridan looks really good! You'll have to let me know what you think of it after you finish it...I might have to go check it out after the challenge is over xD


message 92: by Natalia (new)

Natalia | 1585 comments Someone asked on the main thread if The Wicked King would count for 51, but Sarah said no. What should I use it for?

It could work for #11 read a book featuring one or more fae! It doesn't look like anyone has anything down for it in planning

That sucks : (
I'll find something else for #51

I saw someone requesting a buddy for Evermore (Everless, #2) by Sara Holland on the wanted thread! In case you don't already have a buddy : D

Hello Team Ludo, this is just to let you know that I have messaged both Crystal and Kate to see if they are still taking part in the challenge. If they haven't responded by March 11th then I'll have to start looking for replacements for you. Thanks x

Will do Klancy, though if it’s anything like the other Mia Sheridan books I’ve read, I’m sure I’ll be recommending it ;)


message 99: by Klancy (new)
