Perfect!

We could do that! I really wish Heather would post all her reviews... then we would basically be ready to move on, with the exception of the couple tasks we have left to complete, such as the “cat” task, the “rock” or “roll” task, & the “given up” task. I believe Morgan said she’ll have the given up task completed this weekend, so that’s good.

I can’t do another cat book. I’m sorry mine wasn’t able to work, so I basically read it for nothing. Good thing it was short! I’ve been looking for a book for the rock or roll task that I might be able to read.


message 253: by [[ Frankie ]] (new)

[[ Frankie ]] (freedbyfiction) | 474 comments Also, because the “strange” description was already filled when I finished my “strange” book, we didn’t get any bonus points for it even though we could’ve. It’s my fault, though, because I should’ve seen it & asked to swap with the person.

I believe it was Read a book that has an S in the title, bonus points if it has the word strange in the title. I read a book with strange in the title & couldn’t put it for that task for the bonus because it was already taken. :’[


message 254: by [[ Frankie ]] (new)

[[ Frankie ]] (freedbyfiction) | 474 comments I am going to PM Heather & see if she could try to post her reviews so we can move on to the next description ASAP, plus be able to see exactly what we have left that we need to read for in order to be able to move on to round 2.


Reading Rediscovered (readingrediscovered) | 876 comments No worries. I'll just keep reading my "out" book and we can use it in round 2.

I'm on break from work today so I will try to hit the library this afternoon and see if I can find any books with "rock/roll" or "cat" which would help us out to finish Round 1.

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I'll be writing reviews tonight now that I'm home so that will finish anything I had in round 1


message 257: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I found a book called the uninvited by Cat Winters so I can read that for the cat description


message 258: by [[ Frankie ]] (new)

[[ Frankie ]] (freedbyfiction) | 474 comments Sounds good! We won’t be able to move on until Brooke & Heather review all their finished books. :’[


message 259: by Katie_Potatie (last edited Mar 25, 2019 07:47PM) (new)

Katie_Potatie | 80 comments Hey team, I have now finished and reviewed Matched and Out of My Mind

Both have now been added into banked books.

It doesn't look like there are any more spaces, so i will just read Three wishes and the anything else I have time for and add them to banked in case we can use them.

oh no :( i'm working on mine now, it'll be up before morning, working on it while i'm at work so it'll take a second!! SORRYYYYYYY!!!!!


message 261: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I had a late night at work yesterday and I'm a little sick but I'll be doing reviews today! :D


Reading Rediscovered (readingrediscovered) | 876 comments Any word from Heather when she'll post those missing reviews? Now that we're so close to finishing the round, I really want to get it done!

On another note, I found a book on my Kindle called Rock & Roll Homicide by R.J. McDonnell .... No idea how good it will be, but it has ROCK and ROLL in the title so it gets bonus points! I'm about 30 pages in...we'll see how it goes.


message 263: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I am not sure but I can message her. I don't know if a book that's cowritten with a male and female author would work for the male author description but I'll ask about that too


message 264: by María (new)

María | 2037 comments I will try to finish my bridge book tomorrow...

We could use your finished book, Dry, for male author, couldn’t we? Or is that the one you’re talking about being co-written?

Your book, Three Wishes, was already in description #5 & it also gets bonus points for having the word “wish” in the title. So yeah, definitely try to get that one read & reviewed soon, if you can. That would be great.


message 270: by [[ Frankie ]] (last edited Mar 27, 2019 08:46AM) (new)

[[ Frankie ]] (freedbyfiction) | 474 comments Brooke, were you still going to read Poison Study for description #37: read a book with a title that starts with P?


message 271: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments Omg I totally forgot about Dry lmao

I think you mean Brooke ;)


message 273: by [[ Frankie ]] (new)

[[ Frankie ]] (freedbyfiction) | 474 comments Okay, Katie, so you posted on the banked books thread that you completed & reviewed Out of My Mind by Sharon M Draper.... but I went to go post it & use it for the non-romance description & I’m not finding that you even read the book, or reviewed it...


message 274: by [[ Frankie ]] (new)

[[ Frankie ]] (freedbyfiction) | 474 comments It says you “added it”, but didn’t read or review it. But you put on the banked books thread that you did. Am I missing something?

That’s funny, I just changed it to Brooke while you were saying that! Yes, I did mean Brooke, I’m sorry, lol.


message 276: by [[ Frankie ]] (new)

[[ Frankie ]] (freedbyfiction) | 474 comments I think we’re making some progress!


message 277: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments The non-romance prompt should be done I thought


message 278: by [[ Frankie ]] (new)

[[ Frankie ]] (freedbyfiction) | 474 comments I noticed Heather reviewed Losing Hope, so I posted that one, as well.


message 279: by [[ Frankie ]] (new)

[[ Frankie ]] (freedbyfiction) | 474 comments Andrea wrote: "The non-romance prompt should be done I thought"

Has it been posted for? I didn’t even check to see if it had been posted for. I was going by the spreadsheet. I will double check & see.


message 280: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments It wasn't lol, I can move my A monster calls to that one and post my most recent for the C prompt. I just have to write the reviews. Hopefully I will tonight. Super busy at school. Tho I did manage to write 3 yesterday!


message 281: by [[ Frankie ]] (new)

[[ Frankie ]] (freedbyfiction) | 474 comments Okay, I checked the review thread & task 38, non romance, hadn’t been posted yet. So I was going to use Katie’s finished & reviewed book to post for it. Except I’m not finding her review now. But in the banked books she put she reviewed it, so idk.

I just saw your comment, sorry! Okay, that sounds perfect!


message 283: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments Okay so the reviews I'll prioritize tonight will be: The Uninvited, Dry, A Monster Calls, and Imprison the Sky


message 284: by [[ Frankie ]] (new)

[[ Frankie ]] (freedbyfiction) | 474 comments I wonder how Brooke’s coming along with Winter. It’s 1000 pages & a Buddy Read, so I didn’t want to move it just yet... but I have one that can fit it if we need to.

& then maybe we could use Winter for the same description for round 2.


message 285: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments Yeah if you have one that fits, go for it


message 286: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I also messaged heather so hopefully she responds


message 287: by [[ Frankie ]] (last edited Mar 27, 2019 09:22AM) (new)

message 288: by [[ Frankie ]] (new)

[[ Frankie ]] (freedbyfiction) | 474 comments So, those are all we need to be able to move on to round 2! Then it will be easier to fill stuff in when we have another round opened up.


message 289: by [[ Frankie ]] (new)

[[ Frankie ]] (freedbyfiction) | 474 comments Brooke is reading We Are the Ants.... & Bellatrix is reading The Name of the Wind... either of those would fit description #5 also. If they happen to finish before Katie.

Then we could use Katie’s for the next round & get the bonus.


message 290: by Brooke (new)

Brooke ♥booklife4life♥ (booklife4life) | 6449 comments I wont be able to get to Poison Study til Saturday so if someone wants to take that task they can


message 291: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments I only have one more planned book to finish which I’ll be done with tomorrow and then I can grab random spots.

I ended up working super late tonight and didn’t get a chance to write any reviews but I should have time tomorrow 🙈😪


message 292: by Dr. Andy (new)

Dr. Andy | 14480 comments Also I heard from heather and let her know which reviews we needed so hopefully she’ll write them/post them soon!


message 293: by [[ Frankie ]] (new)

[[ Frankie ]] (freedbyfiction) | 474 comments Does anyone have a book that they’ve finished or will finish in the next day or two that starts with a P? To replace Poison Study on the spreadsheet?


message 294: by [[ Frankie ]] (new)

[[ Frankie ]] (freedbyfiction) | 474 comments & yeah, I heard from Heather earlier today, too. She sounded like she was going to review those two for us, but it doesn’t look like she did. Hopefully she will soon.


message 295: by [[ Frankie ]] (new)

[[ Frankie ]] (freedbyfiction) | 474 comments I’m gonna try to find a short P book I can try to read or listen to. I don’t know that I’ll be able to, though.


message 296: by María (new)

María | 2037 comments I finish my bridge book
I could read a book for the poison category...


message 297: by Heather (new)

Heather | 10157 comments Hey everybody! I’m not sure girls of Paper and Fire will count for me because I forgot I read over half of it in February


message 298: by María (new)

María | 2037 comments I'm starting potent as poison

María | 2037 comments So we need a fire book too
