Could I have 'butterfly' for a book that contains the word 'butter' in one place and 'fly' in another? Or is that pushing it too far lol?

[Andy]

Hi everyone! I think it's time again to choose our skips for the month! We could use 3 to finish the round, depending on what everyone is reading? ;)

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

I'm currently reading The Violent Season which doesn't fit any category, but I can read for Flip Flop on cover and title that rhymes after that. :)

[Aly]

I have a book for author's initials in JAS that I can start in the next couple of days.

[Vanessa Gayle ⚔️]

I am good with skips. The book I'm reading right now doesn't fit any of the open categories.

[Andy]

The most difficult categories left might be:
- YA weapon on cover list
- item of art on cover
-Author’s first name is the same as your middle name
- Published from the year you were born

What do you think?

[Celia]

I may technically be able to stretch "Jennifer" for "Jeanne" for my middle name, which would cover the book I'm currently reading by Jennifer Niven but I'm not sure.

[Kade]

I believe I can fill item of art on cover in the next few days.

Better ask in the Q&A thread! ;)

In case we could skip:

- YA weapon on cover list
- Published from the year you were born

and one of the following:
-Has a cookout
-Tagged ‘humor’ on first page of tags
-Message Alaina and ask for a book to read (ask for a certain genre and if you want YA/NA/ADULT )
-Cover has a summer scene
-Person wearing sunglasses on cover

I think sunglasses on cover might be the hardest, but any of these would work, I think...

What do everyone else think?

I also think YA weapon on cover list and Published from the year you were born are the hardest to fit. If Celias book works for the middle name task, I think we should skip either the sunglasses on cover or the cook out task.

Thank you Ta, I agree with you, let's see if anyone else wants to have a say! ;)

[Aly]

I think cookout is hard because it's tough to find a book with that in the story, since you can't really search for it. I'll look for a sunglasses book today

[Andy]

I could have used "the wolf and the woodsman" for cookout, actually (I used it for enemies to lovers) - we could move it if you wanted?

I keep finding cookouts in my books! :P Anything with people having social eating outside works I believe!

[Aly]

I have an enemies to lovers book if you want to change Wolf and the Woodsman. Otherwise, I'll see what I can find with outside eating

[Andy]

Aly wrote: "I have an enemies to lovers book if you want to change Wolf and the Woodsman. Otherwise, I'll see what I can find with outside eating"

That's fine with me, I can ask Alaina if we can change it in the review thread.

What about the third skip? ;)

[Aly]

I spoke with Alaina and Celia's middle name book will not work. It needs to be the same name, not similar.

So we could do YA Weapon, Year you were born, and Middle name for our skips.

How does that sound?

Perfect! ;)

[Kade]

I’m good with those skips!

Great! Thanks Aly.

[Andy]

It seems we have another bookcfor cookout from Betsy, but not sure how it fits...

Hey, team, here’s my tentative (stress on tentative lol) TBR for the month in case anyone’s interested in buddy reading!
I can start these any time:

These are library loans due on the 21st:

I'm reading the Six Crimson Cranes series with Aly at the moment. I finished the first one today and plan to continue with Dragons promise on the weekend, if you want to join. :) Here's the link: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[akacya ❦]

Ooh I didn’t realize that was a series one! Thanks!

[Aly]

Team! I found a book called Summer and July which can count for flipflops on cover and July in title.

I can read it for one of the categories, does anyone have time to read it with me? Then we can get a buddy plus knock out both of those categories.

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

I can read it with you. :)

[Aly]

Yay! I'll set up a thread for next week if that works for you?

[Ta || bookishbluehead]

Aly wrote: "Yay! I'll set up a thread for next week if that works for you?"

Sure, next week is great. I assume we're BRing in both groups? :) Should I ask for the thread there?

Okay, sounds good!

Here's our thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Celia]

Once I finish my next audiobook I can start the Ember series on Audio so I have a few in reserve for middle name. Should be next week so hopefully I can use it at least 2x in September for The City of Ember and The People of Sparks

Okay. Great!

[Vanessa Gayle ⚔️]

I added a few more books to the banked list for now.

[Kade]

What do we need filled to move on? I’ll try to find something that fits

[Andy]

I am currently reading something for "food in title", but can keep it for next round if someone else finishes that prompt first!

[Andy]

Anyway, we are currently missing the following, but check this chat, because I was under the impression people were already reading or planning to read, for a few of these prompts! ;) Maybe lets do a head count of what's everyone reading!

-sunglasses on cover
-flip flops on cover
-summer scene on cover
-author’s initial have J, A, or S (must be two out of three)
- Letters J, U, L, Y in title (any order)
-Type of food in the title
- Title that rhymes
-Tagged "humour"

[Andy]

From previous posts I think Aly was planning to read something that would fit the "author’s initial have J, A, or S" and Ta might read something for "flip flops on cover" and/or "Title that rhymes". I am reading the "Type of food in the title", so nobody has declared anything about the following prompts (I don't think):

-sunglasses on cover
-summer scene on cover
- Letters J, U, L, Y in title (any order)
-Tagged "humour"

[Aly]

I thought I posted my JAS book? I also will have a sunglasses book done in a day or so and Ta and I are buddy reading books for flip flops and July in title

[Andy]

Thank you Aly! I just looked at the summary in the review thread, so maybe Alaina forgot to update it? I can't look at the spreadsheet at the moment...
Do you know if anybody is doing the "Title that rhymes"? That's one we usually find a bit difficult!

[akacya ❦]

Does it count if it’s the same word? If so, I can read Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow for that prompt

[akacya ❦]

Actually according to the Q&A thread it looks like I can, so I’ll start that today!

[Andy]

Thank you Acacya! If for some reason someone takes it before you, let's keep it for next round! That's a difficult prompt!

[Kade]

So we just need a tagged humor? I can never seem to find the tags

[Kade]

oh do we still need the july one too?

[akacya ❦]

i think the book i read today is tagged humor? let me check

[Kade]

Okay. I started a humor one about 30 minutes ago too

[akacya ❦]

if you want, i can go ahead and post the review for my book and then you can use your book for the next round?

[Andy]

Well done everyone!
I think we still need:

-sunglasses on cover
-summer scene on cover

Not sure if anyone claimed these in the spreadsheet, though...

[akacya ❦]

i believe everything we still need has been claimed on the spreadsheet

[Aly]

I'll be done with my sunglasses book in the next half hour or so.

Ta was going to read a book for July, but she hasn't been on so she might have other things going on. If anyone is interested, is a short middle grade book and pretty cute. Plus it's a buddy

[Aly]

It looks like Celia hasn't posted Montauk yet (or it just hasn't been counted)

We also still need JULY, Celia's title that rhymes, and Akacya's humor book

[akacya ❦]

Just added my humor book. I also have one for the rhyming title already done but it can be used for the next round if Celia’s almost done with hers
