OMG WHAT IS YOUR LIFEGUARD BOOK?

[Donna]

I will check in a little bit to see if I have anything to fit any of those.

[Saige]

Would count for art on the cover?

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Thanks guys. I really will try to get some reviews done. Maybe I can even do one tonight if I'm really lucky. :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I'm close to finishing another book. I should keep track of all the books I need to do reviews for. :/

[Donna]

I have a green cover book and a book with 4/5/6 in the publishing date.

I also have an author whose first name is my middle name if we need it. For now, I am assuming this is under control.

[Saige]

Can we post reviews for round 2 yet? I have everything written out, I just need to post it

[Donna]

Saige, I think we have to wait until all the round 1 tasks are submitted. However, I think it is a great idea to have it all written out so you can just pop it into the comment box when we are ready. I am gonna follow your example and get mine ready as well.

[Saige]

Cool. I added a link to the document so I can find it and post it as soon as round 1 is done

[Jennifer]

GUYS!!!! I found out that we can use any version of a book for the published date w/4,5,6 in it! I have one (picture me jumping up and down!)!

Saige, if you were working on this already, I can put my book somewhere for round 2. please advise.

[Donna]

I have a book picked out for that task but didn't start it. Go ahead and use yours. I will use mine for round 2 and knock it out early.

Please add anything in that you have. I can always move mine around later, especially since a bunch of the categories in round 2 are still open

Keeping track of books I need to review and post eventually so I don't forget

I think this only works for page points???

Books I'm still planning to read



Not 100% sure what I will read after my Patricia Briggs books. Will depend on my reading mood. :)

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I didn't realized it was now 8 books! 🤦‍♀️

[Aly]

Book, why wouldn't HP 5 work for a category? Did you start it before April? It should at least count for something next round. I can help you look if you want

[Saige]

Has anyone already called the category with some form of art on it for round 1? If not I have a book that would fit!

[Donna]

I haven't. If anyone has something that fits anything I mentioned in an earlier post, go ahead and take it. Everyone in my house has been passing some crappy bug around. Even the dog is sick. Needless to say, my reading has slowed down a bit.

[Felicia]

Another slight change to the rules because Jennifer is the master at finding loops holes. Lmfao.

I am now accepting any cover off this list to be counted as "art on cover" category. :D

[Aly]

Ooh, lots of choices!

[Saige]

Lol, I just put something in for that. It'll be done by the end of the week

Started it before April. :)

[Jennifer]

Ha! I only look for loopholed because I don’t like the books I found with paintings on them.

I’m glad everyone is happy with the new options!

Alaina, I just saw your comment. It's this one I haven't read it yet but it's pretty short

[Aly]

Is Natalie still on our team? She hasn't posted at all I don't think

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Natalie was visiting my home country all of April and had like no time to read. She might have forgotten about this challenge though. :/ I'll PM her later if I remember. :)

Okay, so I have been IMMENSELY awol (...to put it mildly) whilst on holiday in Canada. Oops? ._.

I'm alive though I swear! ;u;

Unfortunately only finished two books in April, and I haven't read much of... anything... so far this month, but hopefully I'll be able to finish off a couple soon? o.o;;

Books I've finished are:


I don't think they fit anything for round #1, but I've added Ozma of Oz to "Title features: X, Y, or Z" and Thief of Cahraman to "Book that you got for free" (got it from NetGalley) for Round #2. Please let me know if these should be changed around c:

[Aly]

Good to see you Natalie!

[Donna]

Are we done with round 1 yet? Or are we still looking for something? I have been a bit out of touch the last few days.

[Aly]

Still working on a few things. I'm sorry that I've been slacking. Real life has been busy and I've read almost no physicals this month. If anyone has a book for my categories, you're welcome to them.

I have author that starts with Z, book that mentions a lifeguard, Author’s first name is the same as your middle name, and set in a tropical location

[Natalie]

Aly wrote: "Good to see you Natalie!"

Thanks Aly :)

[Aly]

Okay, these are the categories we have left:
Author has same first name as your middle name
First page tag LGBTQ (I asked Felicia if we can count Emeli's book for this)
Character with a seasonal name (Jennifer is working on this)
Mentions a lifeguard

I have books for the middle name and lifeguard, but they're physicals so I'll try to get to them this week. If someone else wants to read for them, that would be awesome

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I have nothing for any of those. :(

[Jennifer]

I’m almost done with the seasonal name book. Should be able to post tomorrow

[Aly]

I started a lifeguard book, should be done tomorrow

[Jennifer]

Holy crap - did you guys know that we have skips we could have used last month?? We get 3 per month. I know we had more than 3 categories left at the end of April, but we could have used them! I totally missed it in the rules. Let's make sure we utilize them at the end of this month for some of our harder categories!

posted the seasonal name book today! Almost done with round 1!

[Aly]

What? I had no idea! Definitely we need to use them

[Saige]

OMG, skips would have been so helpful! We should definitely be on the lookout for which categories are hardest to fill and use them for round 2

[Aly]

Okay, I finished the lifeguard book and I will be reading Author has same first name as your middle name today. Hopefully done today too, then we should be able to move to round 2!!

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Woohoo!

[Saige]

Yay! I'm so excited for all the points we're gonna get as soon as we can start posting our round 2 books

[Donna]

I have a bunch of books to enter for round 2. If I can get out of my reading slump this week, I have some books planned for some of the categories that were harder for us in round 1.

[Saige]

Great! I'll also have a ton more reading time now that school is almost over, so I can help out with any of the categories that are hard to fill

[Aly]

Felicia updated our scores so we can now post round 2

[Donna]

I posted my round 2 items.

[Felicia]

Sorry ladies. I was sick yesterday and didn't update. But go crazy now! :D

[Aly]

Awh, I'm sorry you were sick. I hope you're feeling better!

[Donna]

I hope you are feeling better now.

[Felicia]

I'm much better today guys. Thanks! <3
