I have a book to post: Unravel Me. I just haven't done much of a review of it, but I did do the 4 reading updates. And it was a Buddy Read.

Should I claim what? - YA, Dystopian, Buddy Read...? Any idea of what we need?

Vivi, you can put this book under Sci-Fi.

[Sharon]

I got a book that works for mystery, and I will check to see if I have any books with E that I can read.

Ok. I'll post it as Sci-fi then :)

No worries, Siobhan :) Here's the blocks we need to complete next, if you hadn't already decided on where you wanted to place them :)

'E'
The
Adult
Historical

[Siobhan]

No worries :)

[Katie]

I will have a historical and adult done by tonight!!! Thanks for making these lists like that... when I’m on my phone, I can’t tell what we need very well, so this is helpful! I’ll get those records done tonight!

[Katie]

Oh no!!! So one of the middle grades I was going to combine with historical is actually long enough on its own, but it’s not historical. Ugh!!!! My edition was only 288 pages but I see one over 300 so it will count for its own.

I can claim “the” with that one and I’ll try to find something to read to combine with that historical graphic novel.

So tonight, I’ll post adult and “the.” But I won’t have hosticual done by tonight.... sorry

[Dannii]

@Katie That's totally okay :)

I'm not sure I'll get anything else completed tonight but should have a few reads finished tomorrow, just before the end of the challenge :) I have a historical audio just come in on my library app, but not sure I'll be able to get to it as it's come in so late in the month :(

Reposting from the main thread so that hopefully everybody sees this,

Hi everybody, roughly 36 hours to go ☺

Just to let you know, I'm happy to do the following when I do final scores on June 1st -
* Give buddy read points when buddies comments have not been answered - as long as it is just once per person.
* Combine books which have been read by different people, which are too short to count alone, to count for a block. Bonus points will be divided accordingly, but if you want these combining a specific way for specific blocks, it might be an idea for somebody to let me know what you would like on your team review thread. I know some teams have a few like this outstanding.
(Eg: Tara has read a book with 153 pages - no block given. Mary has read a book with 102 pages - no block given. You could combine these, claim a block, and Tara will get 3 bonus points, and Mary 2.)

Similarly, I'm happy for you to post reviews for teammates who are unable to post them themselves for whatever reason, just post clearly who you're posting for when you post ☺

I'm also happy for you to request changes, such as moving a book from the 'Female' block, to the 'Romance' block. Just clearly let me know where the book was originally posted, (eg: message 403) and from which block it is going from and to. (eg: please move message 403, from the 'Female' block, to the 'Romance' block.)

Have fun everybody ☺

[Dannii]

Thank you, Sarah :)

[Katie]

^^^ OH that's great!! I have a 224 page graphic novel that would count for historical if someone else has something short to combine it with.

It would count for 74 regular pages.



No worries if nobody has anything...I can try and find something tomorrow, but I'm not 100% sure it would happen.

I'm writing my review for Adult now, and will have one for "the" later.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

[bookcover:Whi..."

There's a few graphic novels linked at the bottom of the last update from Sarah in the review thread. Hopefully we can link a few of those together :)

[Dannii]

So I've just gone through the list of all those on our team who haven't added anything to the review thread. They've all read books but only provided a rating and no review or updates so we won't be able to add them in for them. There's only one who has a few reviews not yet added, as far as i can tell, so I'll add them on tomorrow :)

[Amanda]

I will have three more by tomorrow, which do we need? I cant check on my phone.

[Meaghan]

I'll probably have 2 more books to post by the end of tomorrow :)

[Dannii]

Amanda wrote: "I will have three more by tomorrow, which do we need? I cant check on my phone."

Right now, we need 'E', The, and Historical but I'll update it as we go through the final day :)

[Dannii]

I just checked and the only person who hasn't added anything to the review thread but had reviews for their books either started them in April or reread them at the end of last year. Either way they won't count and there's nothing else to add apart from our own reviews :)

[Sarah A]

I have 1 still to post and I should have another done by tomorrow. I will look to see what we need tonight when I post my book.

[Sharon]

I should finish a few books tomorrow.

[Dannii]

Hey Shreya, I hope you don't mind but your books didn't have enough pages to be added alone so I added some books already on the thread, so we can count them for a block. I didn't change the blocks you already used :)

[Dannii]

I've added all the books not yet counted on Sarah's last update, apart from the graphic novels in message 387, in case you wanted to add them to your graphic novel Katie? If you've already read something else I can find a short graphic to add to them, later instead :)

I have one that I am about to post for Contemporary.

[Akshita]

I am currently reading . Should be able to finish tonight. Which block should I post it for, once I am done?

[Katie]

Just posted for "The"

[Katie]

I think our numbers got off a bit, but I see Historical needs a 14th claim as well.

Is it okay with you guys if I combine the graphic novels from message 385 (since those are a tiny bit short) with my graphic novel to claim Historical?

I'll wait a bit before doing that just in case you see a better combination!

Sounds good to me :)

Maybe mystery? The genre blocks seem harder for us to fill.

I'm reading a book I hope to finish and that works for stand alone, female, romance, and maybe CR and favorite

[Dannii]

The blocks we still need are:

The
CR

I've also just added a few previous illustrated books together with a graphic novel I just picked up for paranormal :)

Shreya, Sarah has asked that you add a few more details on to your review for The Landry News and then update the review thread to say you've done so for it to be counted :D

[Jamie]

I'll post for female in a moment. Writing review now.

[Elizabeth Emily]

I have posted my last 3 reviews so the only ones we now need to complete the grid for the last time are:

Paranormal
'The'
CR

I added more to my review and commented on the review thread that I did :)

[Blue Butterfly]

I am hoping to finish and today but there are not long enough to combine for a block. If anyone has anything short enough to add to it to claim as a block go ahead and add it.

I don't have another graphic novel to add, I'm sorry :(

[Sharon]

Does it have to be a graphic novel? Because I got a regular book that is 186 pages -

[Dannii]

I just realised I also have an unfinished book I'm adding to the review thread in a bit, not sure if we can add an unfinished book with finished ones though so best if you two combine :)

If anyone else has something short on pages they can always add it to my next post and ask Sarah if can be accepted, but no worries if not :)

Not going to have time to read anymore after that guys, but it's been great reading with you all!

[Jamie]

Sharon wrote: "Does it have to be a graphic novel? Because I got a regular book that is 186 pages - "

You can mix them. I have before, at Sarah's recommendation even. :)

[Dannii]

Still just the following two left to complete the grid, in case anyone needed an update :)

'The'
CR

[Meaghan]

Submitting my last book for CR!

Okay. I am almost finished, so I can add it to the graphic novels.
