They'd be great Lindsey :)

Hi everyone! I have a bunch of books planned. I want to try to get to around twenty-twenty five if that sounds good to you.

Adriana wrote: "Hi everyone! I have a bunch of books planned. I want to try to get to around twenty-twenty five if that sounds good to you."

Each description needs 4 books I believe for each part so I say lets try for as many. I also plan on reading a lot for this month. We can cheer each other one and keep each other motivated.

Only thing I've planned is My heart and other black holes. Other than that I'm free. :)

Whichever ones you weren't planning on doing I'll prioritise that one if it's on my list (:

It looks like we need an initials read, 1995, and buddy read.
What are your initials? Mine is AG.

My initials are IEJ. My Heart...is a buddy read :)

Lindsey wrote: "Adriana wrote: "Hi everyone! I have a bunch of books planned. I want to try to get to around twenty-twenty five if that sounds good to you."

Sounds good!

Oh perfect Irene! I'll try to find a book with those initials if I can.

Mine are LAP

Mine is actually ABG but that's too hard. Do you mind if I look for your first and last initials only girls?

As I understand it, each description can be done four times, but just one time is necessary, the rest is just extra points :)

Sounds good!

I might be pushing myself but I'm going to try and finish each description.

Not at all! I'm not feeling too well so I'll plan tomorrow :) I'll prioritize the tasks that aren't planned for :)

Irene wrote: "As I understand it, each description can be done four times, but just one time is necessary, the rest is just extra points :)"

Yes. Sarah said


Basically ☺ You can complete the entire game up to 4 times, so 4 times for each description, it's supposed to be that each person can only complete each description once, but if one person completed all 37 then they could start again ☺

Irene wrote: "As I understand it, each description can be done four times, but just one time is necessary, the rest is just extra points :)"

That's how I understand it too.
Hope you feel better (:

Oh I just ate too much :P

Oh good :) I'll go for about twenty books this month if everything plays out well:)

Irene wrote: "Not at all! I'm not feeling too well so I'll plan tomorrow :) I'll prioritize the tasks that aren't planned for :)"

I hope you feel better!

I think I got a book with your initials Irene minus your middle name:

I'll Give You the Sun.

Hi everyone. For the initial challenge, if anyone wants to use them, mine are JE.

Still working on what I will read and how to use them. Some may just be figured out as I go.

Also for Irene:
Into the Grey

Oh, it's J not G :))

Oh haha my bad

Actually my bad. It looks like I added my last initial to yours :P

Haha confusing! Those were some good finds :P

Okay so message 2 has a list so far for what Adriana and I have planned at the moment.

If you don't have what you are planning on reading that is fine. Just as you read them just post here too and tell me where they go so I can update the list.

Awesome, Lindsey!

So we all know the initials for each of us are

Lindsey - LAP
Adriana - AG
Irene - IEJ
Jamie - JE

Irene wrote: "Haha confusing! Those were some good finds :P"

For romance I put Something like Normal

For Adriana, AG, there's American Gods and for Jamie, JE, there's Just Ella I own both of these books, but considering the length of American Gods, I'm not sure if it's the right book for this challenge...

Girls, you only have to look for the first initial, so anything starting with A, I, J, L, or M is fine ☺
You don't have to look for a book with both initials ☺

And I've added Marie to your team ☺
