Me too! I love how different it is even if it occasionally makes me want to rip my hair out in frustration! lol. The challenge fuels my inner competitive spirit. :P

Occasionally, I would say, 70% of time lol

[Claire]

Omg it's up, I am so excited!

Thank you mods for all your hard work :D

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

[Jamie]

Do we just need the book or are we going for character names too?

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I hate we can't talk on the bonus fairy thread. But I understand why.

Maddie you didn't miss fairy you commented back on the 13th. :)

[Claire]

Omg same Anna there's literally only 1 description that I looked at and knew instantly what is was. This is gonna be harder than I thought!

There was a cover one I got almost right away but even that wasn't 'easy'. I think the problem is that most seem to be contemporary. I read fantasy. :(

I am thinking the same thing.

[Claire]

Hahaha same! The one I got was a cover and I don't know any contemporary characters beyond the most popular series (In YA I read 99% fantasy/scifi/dystopian) so there's gonna be a lot of googling involved 😭

Claire wrote: "Hahaha same! The one I got was a cover and I don't know any contemporary characters beyond the most popular series so there's gonna be a lot of googling involved 😭"

Definitely. I'm not even sure I know the popular ones! lol. I read like 5-10 contemporary a year which is like 2% of my reading total

[Claire]

I can't think of a single YA contemporary book I've read in the last year 😂

My contemporary knowledge is mostly from watching booktube.

Welp, best of luck to all us! Hahaha~

[Maddie]

I've got one character and one cover, the rest I just can't be bothered researching XD

lol. I wish my competitiveness would let me be so relaxed. :P

[Maddie]

XD I've done 8hr study today, and I'm about to do some more. So my brain is pooooped

The fact you got two already when you are pooooooped is amazing. lol

[Maddie]

They just popped into my head

Jamie wrote: "Do we just need the book or are we going for character names too?"

For the 'Guess Who' descriptions we need a character name and the book they come from. For 'Cover Trouble' it's just the title and author name ☺

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

I think I got another!

These are tricky Sarah. lol. I remember last year you were a lot nicer. :P

[Claire]

Yes I got 1 more too! That was exhausting hahaha I'm taking a break 😂

My brain currently won't let me take a break. 😭🤦‍♀️😡😴😫

I haven't really had time to test out which ones are hardest, so they're going to be a bit varied ☺

I don't know whether to be happy or sad about that. 😂

[Sarah Elizabeth]

At least you know that the next round isn't necessarily harder ☺

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Sarah wrote: "At least you know that the next round isn't necessarily harder ☺"

That's why I'm happy but I'm also sad that this one could be really hard. lol.

[Eesh]

I've only got two characters so far. Afraid to start on the cover since I suck at finding them.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

One cover seems easy. The others are driving me mad.

[Jamie]

One character was easy. The rest of these... something tells me I haven’t read them or even noticed them

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Jamie wrote: "One character was easy. The rest of these... something tells me I haven’t read them or even noticed them"

Same! Like I had to really search to find the ones I did!

[Irene]

So... Who else knows NOTHING? :D

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Uh me? Kind of? I got like 3? Maybe 4?

[Irene]

I have none *crying emoji*

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

:(

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

One I got because of a specific line I vaguely remembered. I've only skimmed this book so I'm surprised.

One I got pretty easily.

Two I did a lot of searching for

[~ Giulia ~]

Great, I know only one XD

This will need a lot of research

[Irene]

Well I'm stuck six hours at work with literally nothing to do, so.... *fingers crossed*

[Irene]

Question:

For Cover Trouble, can it be any edition of the book or is it the most popular edition?

[Ashleigh]

I wish we could get clues this time. I could do with some right about now haha!

I've got 3 and really struggling with the others..

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Irene wrote: "Question:

I haven't purposefully used any alternate editions, but some of these books do have multiple covers, and sometimes the british edition which I have is different to editions from other countries, so I can't completely rule it out x

[Irene]

@Sarah - Okay, thanks :)

[Tati]

oh boy, I'm glad I'm just a spectator this time LOL
