Lifeguard book ideas;
- 230ish pages
-178 pages
- 158
-129
-172
- 123If no one wants to read any, I can probably do the last book on audio on scrib’d. Lol
Quick question yall. For the prompts that are a word in text, goes it have to be the exact word by itself or can it be part of another word? For example - arrow. This book has “sparrow” - would that work since it technically has arrow?Or if the word is say Apple, but in my book I have “apples” as plural, can that count?

Yep. Alaina said if it's part of a bigger word, it still counts

did anyone say they were doing flipflops or did i imagine that? lol.I just finished food in title. and we have sunglasses, 7 8 9, lifeguard and teacher all claimed right? or did we need teacher done since midnight library went to lifeguard?
if those are all set then we only have;
-book has a map
-set in tropical location
-seasonal name
-tagged sports
-YA Weapon on cover
-book bf list
i can probably do these in the next day or two.
-one name author
-seasonal name
so i had started listening to this audiobook to fill the lifeguard prompt, but it's all set, so can anyone helkp me try to fit it in somewhere i may be missing? haha ., i can't figure out where it's based from to see if it can fit "tropical location".
Found something quick for the middle name one this time and hopefully I'll be able to dive into the The City of Ember series for the next round. Substitutions were approved in the Q&A, though, so people with trickier middle names could also consider that
Do we know if the 7,8,9 in pub date can be any edition or has to be default edition? The book I'm currently reading has one edition published on 8/27/19 but it's not the default or the edition I'm reading. Either for this round or next one.

do we count florida beaches as "somewhere tropical" ;x

Kade wrote: "do we count florida beaches as "somewhere tropical" ;x"Personally I would, for me it is. :D But I'm from Germany, so Alaina might think differently.
I agree lol. I’ve never been to Florida, so I don’t know exactly what their beaches look like, but yeah. The audiobook I just finished Could for the tropical prompt if we consider Florida beaches tropical. The book also mentions the male MC taking a job at bondi beach in Australia and needing to travel there once in awhile. So that part may fit it too?

I finished the book for author's first name beginning with Z and book from Alys favorites, which was the start of a series and amazing and I definitely want to continue, so we'll have this category covered.
These are the categories that we still need according to our review-thread:- Flip Flops on cover
- One name author (no surname/family name) ->according to the spreadsheet Kade is reading a book for that task
- Book is off the first page of the Best Book Boyfriends lis -> Andy's reading for this task
- Book is within the first 25 books on the YA Weapon on Cover list
- MC is a teacher
- Features a character with a seasonal name
- Celebrates a birthday
I can read something from Andrea's changed my life shelf. There are quite a few books on there, that I have on my TBR.
Mod
Birthday is still open
Aly wrote: "Sorry, I read for that category in round 1. I must have accidentally added it to the wrong roundBirthday is still open"
Okay, no problem. :) I'll edit my post above, so we'll have an accurate list.
@Aly I finished the second book in the Brutal Birthright series today as well. THANK YOU for giving me a reason to start this series. I'm obsessed. :D
Mod
YES!!!! After this series, there's a sequel series about the couples' kids that's also amazing
I might be able to get "celebrates a birthday" depending on how much of a factor it needs to be in the book. My next BR,
has a mention of a flashback of bringing in a treat to celebrate a birthday at school when MC was younger. If this counts then I'll take it.
I can use
for features a teacher, but should I save it until next round for features a lifeguard because that one is waaaaaaay harder? What do people think?
Ellen-Arwen wrote: "I can use for features a teacher, but should I save it until next round for features a lifeguard because that one is waaaaaaay harder? What do people think?"I don't have a book for either category, for me they are both hard for me. :D Maybe let's wait and see if someone else can find a book for teacher in this round and use Midnight Library if no one can find anything?
Ta || bookishbluehead wrote: "Ellen-Arwen wrote: "I can use for features a teacher, but should I save it until next round for features a lifeguard because that one is waaaaaaay harder? ..."I do read and want to read more teacher books generally, but don't really have any on the radar right now. I'm also guessing I have a few cozy mysteries that may have lifeguards, and I could potentially lend them to people with the Kindle lending function if anyone wants to try them as well (though some of them may be free on Amazon). Let me look.
Ellen-Arwen wrote: "I can use for features a teacher, but should I save it until next round for features a lifeguard because that one is waaaaaaay harder? What do people think?"I've already used
on the "mentions a lifeguard" task. We can't use the same book twice, right?
Hina wrote: "Ellen-Arwen wrote: "I can use for features a teacher, but should I save it until next round for features a lifeguard because that one is waaaaaaay harder? ..."Yes, we can as long as it's been read by different people! ;)

I just filled in the mc has a map book.
Great work guys! I found a book on the book boyfriend list I'm interested in, so I'm going to read that next.
Ta || bookishbluehead wrote: "Great work guys! I found a book on the book boyfriend list I'm interested in, so I'm going to read that next."Hi Ta! I'm reading one for that! I hope to finish it in the next 2 or 3 days!
But I can always use it for next round! ;)

Oh great, forgot about that. I'll keep my book for the next round and read something else first. :)

Sorry, I'm a bit slow these days... But I am also happy to keep it for next round if you want to read that. Really up to you! ;)
Does New Zealand count as "tropical" for that prompt?
If we’re looking to fill tropical, I buddy read a book yesterday set in Jamaica. I can upload that right now, I hadn’t done so already since I wasn’t sure if someone else had it😅
Hina wrote: "Ellen-Arwen wrote: "I can use for features a teacher, but should I save it until next round for features a lifeguard because that one is waaaaaaay harder? ..."Tell me if you find a teacher book, in which case I'll save it, or I'll post it. No rush :)

so what do we have left?YA weapon book
flip-flops on cover
teacher
seasonal name
sounds like the others are pending being claimed, and those aren't yet right?
i'm finishing up my one name author book tonight hopefully. i did look on the ya weapon list, and i honestly didn't find anything i could tolerate anytime soon, haha. i haven't seen muchy for flipflops that i'd want to read either.
i can do the seasonal name one soon.... and i could definitely do teacher asap if no one else wants to.
Hey team, I am sorry if I've been rather MIA lately. After going to Canada for 10 days and then coming home to a new grandson being born on Aug. 2 and helping with grandkids as our school year began here already, I've pretty much been MIA. I still have books to review and post as soon as I can which hopefully I can get some done tomorrow or at least bank some for the next round.

I'm reading a book with FlipFlops on cover. I'll have to check the YA weapons list again, maybe I can find something I want to read. :)

Found something short, so I'll read that for YA weapons on cover once I finish the flip flop book.
I was going to use
for birthday but it does have a lifeguard character if we want to use it for that. So we have options for Midnight Library, etc
I posted for "Character with a seasonal name". =)
