If you are interested, there's one member you can pair up with maybe.

Yes, for sure! I'd love that.

Hey, anyone have any recommendations for the letter A- 'A book with a spine that's a different colour than the cover' prompt?

The Black Flamingo (the American hardback edition has a pink spine while the rest of the cover is black)

Thank you! I'll check it out.

[Ridhima]

I have a question about the prompt requiring an elephant on the cover. Is it alright if some of the editions of the book have an elephant on the cover (paperback, hardcover), but the others do not (kindle)?

Yeah that's ok! Just link the one with the elephant on cover.

[Rushali, Head Mod]

Can anyone give a good suggestion for letter X: An intergalactic book?

[Ridhima]

Rushali wrote: "Can anyone give a good suggestion for letter X: An intergalactic book?"

Artemis was a decent read. Not sure if it counts as intergalactic though, since it's based on the moon.

[Milind]

Can anyone rec me a book where the MC is Indian?

[Lenni]

@Milind - I believe “Yes Mo Maybe So” by Becky Albertalli and/or “Curses and Kisses” by Sandhya Menon work

[BiBookDemon]

Hey, so, um, Vittoria hasn't been active at all on our maze race, I'm going to message them, but if I don't hear back within a couple days, could I have a new partner? I can't do this on my own. Also, is it ok to use a book I've already read/am currently reading this month?

[Audrey]

My partner hasn’t either...

[Milind]

I actually decided to read Aru Shah and the End of Time, but thanks for the recs! :)

If my partner doesn't reply, maybe we could be partners?

We'll contact your partner and see what can be done. And yes, you can count the books you read in May.

Can anyone confirm if The Murmur of Bees works for K : a book with a golden cover? I feel like it does but just wanted to confirm!

Yea, I think it should count!! I mean if its quite shiny then I would say it will count :)

Yes it does..

[Ridhima]

Thank you, both of you!

[Sreehitha]

Hey can i read animal farm for prompt 10?

[Rushali, Head Mod]

Sreehitha wrote: "Hey can i read animal farm for prompt 10?"

Yes.

[Sreehitha]

👍Thanks

[Sreehitha]

For the 18th prompt can i read
Tales from a Not-So-Graceful Ice Princess
This is the 4th book but as the series consists of #3.5th book does the above book fulfil the 18th prompt??

No, the book should be listed 5th in series.

[Mia]

Hey Rushali..
only one book is allowed to be logged per prompt right?

[Rushali, Head Mod]

Mia wrote: "Hey Rushali..

Yeah. If you get same letter/number on spinning, you can spin again.

[Mia]

Ok! Thanks dear..

[Mia]

Also... if for some reason I am not able to complete a prompt can I just leave it?
like.. in my case, I had IT for prompt Q but I am not in a position these days to finish it. Can I skip it over?

[Rushali, Head Mod]

Mia wrote: "Also... if for some reason I am not able to complete a prompt can I just leave it?

Well, that goes against the rule but if you have a valid reason, then skip it.

[Mia]

I thought so too.. but I really can't help it.. how about this? I log in whatever pages I could read in May and not actually finish it if I can't.. is that possible?

[Rushali, Head Mod]

Mia wrote: "I thought so too.. but I really can't help it.. how about this? I log in whatever pages I could read in May and not actually finish it if I can't.. is that possible?"

Np, don't log the pages, that won't count. If you can't read, let it be.

[BiBookDemon]

I just want to say, I'm going on vacation in two days, I have two reviews I need to finish and I need to log the books as well, but I won't be able to finish the reviews and log the books until after June 5th. Is that ok?

The challenge ends on 31st May, log the books by then, or you can ask your partner to do for you, and reviews also need to be finished by then.
