Me too

[Leslie Ann]

I found The Noir Style but I am not paying 16 dollars , not on kindle or libby

[Leslie Ann]

Just found
The Noir Mystery MEGAPACK ™: 25 Modern and Classic Mysteries
Only 99 cents on kindle

[Melissa]

I don’t have a problem with sending them back a difficult book or 4 or 5 letters but we have to make sure it’s actually something they can read.

It’s a tough one because there’s nothing we can use besides NOIR which doesn’t give them anything to use back so we’ll be stuck with both teams reading NOIR which isn’t much fun lol We kind of got screwed here.

Unless we find something that starts with NOIR and has some other words to it.

[Melissa]

We can send NOIR back I’m fine with that and force them to find something to send back that’s different.

[Leslie Ann]

You can use or ignore articles at the start of the title

So we can use

The Noir Mystery MEGAPACK ™: 25 Modern and Classic Mysteries

It's the same team as last time. They went first the first round now we go first. I think the thought process was if we are nice they'd be nice.... but one of us has pie in their face and it isn't District 7 lol

Though, I do love pie! lol

[Roe]

We can send back Noir BUT they will send back Noire to us (Sophie suggested it) so lets make sure we have something good before we pull the trigger! Anyone dying to read about Ireland? lol

[Leslie Ann]

My book has ack at the end ?

[Roe]

They could do 3 letters with that by using Acknowledge or some form of that. Noir would be 4 letters.

[Trisha]

they are forcing us to do 4 - I don't think there is anything wrong with matching their energy

[Melissa]

If they come back with Noire do we have options?

[Roe]

There are a few I really… titles

[Roe]

or I regrets

[Melissa]

Ok so we do have options. Let’s send back Noir and see what happens

[Melissa]

Everyone ok with that? Or do you want to do something else

[Trisha]

(I'd be willing to read Irena's Children: The Extraordinary Story of the Woman Who Saved 2,500 Children from the Warsaw Ghetto I just checked out the audio and requested the physical copy from my library, just in case

we also have Irena, Ireland, Irene, The Ire)

[Melissa]

Ok I’m sending back Noir. Let’s see what they come back with

[Melissa]

Leslie you’re still ok with reading that?

[Leslie Ann]

Sure, I can read it

[Roe]

Do you ever read a book and then have 0 memory of it?
Went to log Things You Save in a Fire and I guess I read it in 2019

[Melissa]

Ok thanks Leslie!

Lol Roe yep or I’ll completely remember a book wrong. I’ll be rereading it and thinking nope not what I thought happened 😂

[Roe]

When we went to see Where the Crawdads sing i had it confused with the Paper Place right up until 3 min before it started

[Leslie Ann]

How many times do you buy a book you already read? I do this one all the time….lol

[Roe]

Funny enough, I originally got Goodreads because I kept buy copies of The Other Boleyn Girl lol

Ask me what book i now no longer own!

I own 12 different copies of Boyfriend Material and I'm only slightly ashamed of it.

[Nick]

Hi all,

sorry I was sort of away this weekend into yesterday so I haven't been really on GR. I am available to take a book in this coming battle too :D

oh no! lol 12?!?!

I've definitely bought a few too many duplicates so now I have a "bought-Kindle" shelf AND a "physical copy owned" and now I've added a "bought audio" because that was my mistake - I was buying them in multiple formats!

[Roe]

I will do an audio and a physical. I feel like thats different some how in my brain.

What I will NOT apologize for is the 30 million copies of Fourth Wing I own/ want to own because they are so pretty!! In languages i cant read? Maybe, but soooo pretty!

[maria helena]

I have some books where I have bought several copies because I want different editions or different illustrations. But those are all on purpose… I only occasionally end up buying books that I already own because I forgot that I bought them.

[Melissa]

I’ve done that before with physical and ebooks. I usually get my books from the library so I don’t have that problem much!!

[Roe]

For me, all books start at the library. I only move to purchase if I love them. Then there are no rules after that lol

I am so guilty of this. I should try to make shelves like yours….

Oh my 12!

[Nick]

Boyfriend Material is legit my favorite book. I'm constantly relistening to it. I finish it and start it again. its my driving/doing dishes book etc.

I have the kindle edition, the audiobook, and then several other physical copies (including foreign editions (Russian, Chinese and Japanese) and several dust jackets that I bought off of Etsy, etc.).
It's excessive but I love Oliver Blackwood with my whole cold-dead-ghosty heart.

[Melissa]

Same Roe if I find an absolute-love-its-my-favorite-author book then I will buy it.

[Melissa]

Ugh I wish I had that kind of commitment. I don’t have any books in different languages.

[Stephanie]

Just sending over Noire, enjoy!

[Diane ~Firefly~]

After those recommendations, I picked up Boyfriend Material since it was just $2 on kindle. I also got the sequel for $2.50.

Ahhhhh I hope you like it!! It’s on sale right now because of Prime Day haha.

[Nick]

If we’re looking to IRE, I read Ire of the Void back in 2022 and could read it again lol

[Catherine]

Hey guys Cat from District 7 popping over to say Hellllooooo! BTW owning 12 copies of Boyfriend Material screams book club to me. Like 12 different people. Over and over again :P
Also so glad were not all stuck reading Noir the whole challenge.

Toodles
Cat

[Melissa]

Ok so who’s taking the IRE book then. We had a few volunteers!!

What do you all think?

[Christina T]

I like Nick's idea of the book to send iod to the other team. They might have to go with void to get a title and take an extra letter.

[Melissa]

Are we all okay with going with Nicks book then? If we want to go with something else let me know! I’m going to bed and will let District 7 know in the morning.

[Trinia]

👌🏼👍🏼

[Nick]

I don’t mind doing a reread. It’s a novella and should be quick to get through!

[Leslie Ann]

I had to buy BoyFriend Material too… : )
