Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments This is a monthly challenge we have in the group and if you've never played, here are the rules:

Directions:

1. When you sign up pick 3 books you want to be included in the "book pool."

2. You can pick any book as long as they are YA and have been released before the challenge has started. Please no duplicates.

3. Once the challenge starts you will read books from the "pool."

4. At the end of the month whoever read the most books from the pool is the champion of that month!

Have fun!

The challenge begins on October 1st.
To claim points, please don't start your books from the pool until then!

You can sign up and add books until September 31st. After that, you can join in anytime (just without adding books).

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Claire, I love Hopkins' books too. She's a very gifted writer!


message 19: by Ilona (new)

Ilona (Ilona-s) | 213 comments Is really The Host by Meyer a YA one ? I'm sure that when it was released, it was said by the editor, it was an adult one, though I see that many here tag it as a YA one.

Wiki says it was " released by the adult division of Little, Brown and Company"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepheni...

Well the Meyer's official website, says it is an adult book.

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Since this is on GR I am just going to say what GR says and count it as a YA book.


message 21: by Ilona (last edited Sep 18, 2014 02:39PM) (new)

Ilona (Ilona-s) | 213 comments But isn't this tag used by the users ? So as long as enough people make this mistake, this mistake is accepted ?

And the second tag is also completely wrong, it isn't a fantasy book. True there are books that can be SF and fantasy, but the Host isn't.
