The Jumanji Challenge! June 2015 - Sign-ups and Questions
She left the group completely. I cant belive she would be like that. Does she think Sarah and Abbie dont know their own reviews. What the heck?
I never thought that someone would plagiarized reviews, but now it happens here it's just sad and a horrible thing to do. I just don't understand why did she do it? If she really read her books, reviewing isn't that hard since the only thing she has to do is writing what she likes or dislikes of the books she reads.
And I never thought that there is a plagiarism checker either. I guess I learn something new today, though it isn't from a good thing. Oh well...

Yep, you can only cross off one description per book read ☺

I told her that if she wanted to join a serious team for the May challenge, that I would need her to write proper reviews, rather than 'this is rubbish' which is what she was submitting at that point. Her reviews then vastly improved, as it turns out, because she was copying them.
I don't understand how she thought she could deny it. It's pretty darn obvious that it's copied word for word. The plagarism checked pulled it up right away.
I forgot to ask permission about this... But can I reread Under the never sky? I have a review written for it but I've read it two years ago and I don't really remember much what happened. Thank you :)
My thing is, is did she actually read the books? Also, if she didn't lie about her age, she's a full-grown adult and should know better.
We don't know to be honest. A couple of the reviews she had added bits to that she had written, but the one for beautiful diaster was 100% plagerised so whether she read that one or not I don't know.
I just read this again. Will rereading the first book in the Harry Potter series be okay? I haven't written a review yet.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I was about to list every description, so this made me understand the rules for this challenge more.
Would
be for a description featuring an orphan ?? The mom was already dead but the dad died during the book, near the beginning

Anna: here is your teams review thread. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... just post that your book is on your Jumanji shelf and what description it fits. If you can't do the page count, ask Sarah to help you. I would message her about this if you have other circumstances.

Does anyone know if there is a buddy thread for The book of unknown Americans by Cristina Enríquez??
Cinthia wrote: "Does anyone know if there is a buddy thread for The book of unknown Americans by Cristina Enríquez??"Check the June Buddy Reads thread, if it is listed there, then it is a buddy read. If it is not there, you can post in the WANTED: Reading Buddies thread to see if anyone wants to buddy read it with you. If its a series, you can post in the WANTED: Series Readalong Buddies thread. If someone shows interest and wants to buddy read with you, post in the June Buddy Reads thread, telling a mod which book and what date, and a mod will add it to the June calendar and June list. Hope that helps!

Sarah I still have 200 pages I haven't read from HP4. but I already start reading in May. can I use the 200 pages I haven't read for the description of reading 800 pages ??
Hi guys, sorry I wasn't about yesterday, we went to Chessington World of Adventures as my little boy was finally tall enough to go on the ride to see the giraffes! I'll answer questions and start the counts now ☺

My mum told me not to go on the roller coasters after the crash at alton towers on tuesday. they'd closed their 2 biggest roller coasters because of it though, apparently they had the same braking system. The smallest roller coaster was open though so we got to go on that one ☺

You complete the game by completing all 37 descriptions once, you can then choose to complete the game up to 3 more times ☺
Oh okay, I thought we HAD to complete the game by reading them four times. That would be a lot of books! Thanks :)

Looks like it's deleted but Sarah got proof

This is absolutely ridiculous. It's really obvious she copied it.
