Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments For descriptions where you are asked for a specific word in a title eg: 'dark', the letters must appear in the title in the correct order. It is okay to use words which contain the word though, such as 'darkness', or 'darkly'.

Hello Team Toby, I'm afraid that Jazzy has had to pull out of the challenge due to unforeseen circumstances. I don't have anybody on the waiting list at the moment, but I will be looking for a replacement for you x

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments Ok I’ll pick up Jazzy’s numbers until we get a replacement

Well we would be glad to have them but even if we don't get anybody I think me and Aly can cover it. I mean in this months challenge I think we are down one or 2 people and our team is still doing alright!

Agreed!!! Also, we can just all of use the books, that Jazzy had if we have a book that fits one of these descriptions, I think that'd be fair :)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments Oh I’m glad y’all said that because I was having difficulty finding some of them lol!

Yup, we are a team, and should work as a team :) Doesn't matter if some of us read faster or more than the others. Actually, let's randomize those as well :) and then even if from the list whatever we get and we can't find a book for that description we will exchange :)

Hello Team Toby, just to let you know that I might have found a replacement player for you, I'm just waiting for her reply on the main thread. I'll let you know when I know more ☺


message 63: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90956 comments Mod
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 64: by Aly (new)

Aly (alyp_01) | 11128 comments This week I will find books to fit my categories and I can read any extra books also. I'm going to try to find audiobooks I can either get from the library or on audible romance since those I can do 1 a day.

Please let me know if anyone needs help reading their categories :)


message 65: by Aly (new)

Aly (alyp_01) | 11128 comments If anyone has a faery book with Bite in the title, please let me know


message 66: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (last edited Feb 25, 2019 11:05AM) (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments I might have one Aly. I'm going to check with Sarah that it's tagged fae enough to work. If it works want to BR it?

Awesome. It's Bite (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #8.5; Sookie Stackhouse, #5.1; Undead, #2.5; Mageverse, #1.5) by Laurell K. Hamilton in case you need to look for a copy in advance. :)

Aly (alyp_01) | 11128 comments Thank you. I will look into getting it

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 1721 comments Hi all. I believe I am a replacement player to your team! Looking forward to this challenge. I LOVE David Bowie and I LOVE this movie.


message 72: by Aly (new)

Aly (alyp_01) | 11128 comments Yay Jenny!!


message 73: by Tiera (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments Heya Jenny!!! We are so glad to have you!! Bookbuyer and Maddie were already starting to celebrate their win.... lol I’m jk!

Just some info. We decided to random the numbers and came out with sets of numbers for everyone to complete. You will be taking Jazzy’s number as she had to cancel participation. We have a spreadsheet that is color coded and the numbers are listed also in the first post on this thread. Some of us have started filling in books we are planning to read and I also have some suggestions listed of the “possibilities” tab. When I get home to my computer I’ll change out Jazzy’s name for yours! If you have any questions feel free to ask and we will try our best to answer. I’m not super familiar with these types of challenges but Bookbuyer stops by and answers a lot of questions too!

Welcome to Team Toby!

Hi guys, just to confirm that Jammin Jenny will be filling in the open spot on your team left by Jazzy ☺

Got it! Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Are we planning on finishing each section by a certain time? I'll go through my numbers and see what I have planned already for the first week in March.


message 77: by Tiera (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments Well we can’t move on to round 2 until round one is complete, but I don’t want to put any stress on anyone. I’m thinking we just read our section and then start picking up numbers from other people if they aren’t done yet. As long as we are super communicative about what we are reading and what we are picking up next we should be able to finish it pretty fast, and no one will feel pressured to go any faster than their norm.

Gillian Murrell | 3686 comments Welcome to the team Jenny


message 79: by Jammin Jenny (new)

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 1721 comments Okay guys. I think I did it right. I added my books to the SS for where Jazzy would have gone, and I also posted in the BR request thread for a few of my books to see if we can get more points :)

Let me know if I messed up! So happy to be playing with you.

I had started filling in spots with my "possibilities" list of Jazzy's jic we didn't get a replacement but I've erased them now! You did Great!


message 81: by Tiera (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments Ive been racking my brain for days... I need a book where someone is missing and missing is in the blurb..

It can't be Rick Riordan's series where Percy is missing because I've just finished a reread on those in December, and for some reason I just can't think of anything but that one.


message 82: by Jammin Jenny (new)

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 1721 comments Thanks Tiera!


message 83: by Jammin Jenny (new)

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 1721 comments Do any of the Harry Potter books work?

Or, if you like Twilight, maybe New Moon (Edward is missing, and that might be in the blurb).


message 84: by Tiera (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments Twilight I did a reread in November. I’ll check the blurbs on Harry Potter.

Edit~A (edit-a) | 4259 comments WELCOMEEE!!! <3


message 86: by Lex (new)

Lex (greenbeanreads) Hey guys, I've been looking through my numbers and I think I have some ideas. Harry Potter fits a lot of my sections so I'm going to be reading those! If anyone has a number that suits THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE, let me know and i can pick that number up for you or alternatively we can swap numbers.

Otherwise - I need a book someone 'gave up' so dnfed? Let me know if you have any suggestions! (Hopefully something actually nice that someone just had to dnf for time or something :') )


message 87: by Jammin Jenny (new)

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 1721 comments #54 would work but you wouldn't get the 5 point bonus, also #31 (but no bonus), or #13 (again no bonus), or #20 (the Harry Potter book would be 652 pages, so you'd need to read another book with 271 pages). Let me know if you want to swap one of your numbers for one of these.


message 88: by Jammin Jenny (new)

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 1721 comments I actually started a book I had planned for #13 so if you can take that one that would be a big help to me!


message 89: by Tiera (last edited Feb 27, 2019 07:05AM) (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments Ill gladly take #13 I have 2 books that will fit it and one is an ARC with a review due that day! I don't have a DNF shelf as I try to make myself finish everything.. I might can look through and find one though.


message 90: by Tiera (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments FOUND 1! Inception (The Marked, #1) by Bianca Scardoni I DNF'd at 55%!


message 91: by Tiera (new)

Tiera McMillian (hawtmess) | 3419 comments Apparently I rather vehemently hated it... I don't remember though lol. It was in August..


message 92: by Aly (new)

Aly (alyp_01) | 11128 comments Lol! It's funny when you're like, why did I hate that? Sometimes I reread a book and wonder why I liked it so much. I'm still looking for a book for #17, so if anyone has a suggestion for a book with 'that' and 'way' in the title, let me know!


message 93: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) | 22764 comments I found this book Aly I Want It That Way (2B Trilogy #1) by Ann Aguirre

Aly (alyp_01) | 11128 comments If you or anyone on your team wants to buddy read, The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer, #1) by Michelle Hodkin counts for #1 with bonus points

I really want to read it but I'm waiting for the third book of the spin off. I might still read it but I'm focusing on my Anita Blake books since they work for a lot of categories. ^-^

Want to try your hand at number 45? I found a book called "Roar" by Catty Diva unfortunately even though it fits the bonus it doesn't fit the main description sooo i've had to scrap it! Needs to have the title "roar" and be written by someone that has an R in their name. The title can't just have the word Roar in it.. I'm at a loss.
