Jamie | 12271 comments What if we have previously (especially recently) read the books offered?

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Are we supposed to vote for one in each genre? :)


Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90931 comments Mod
You can vote for every genre that you think you're likely to read ☺

I'll discuss it with Abbie, is it just one book?


message 6: by Jamie (new)

Jamie | 12271 comments Yes. I didn't vote for them obviously but if they get chosen just wondering how that would work.


message 7: by Jamie (new)

Jamie | 12271 comments For me yes. I didn't vote but was wondering how it would work if chosen.
There are likely others who have read at least 1 of the books too.


Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90931 comments Mod
Well that's partly why we have so many, so that there should be something that people can read. Which genres is it that are difficult for you?


message 9: by Irene (last edited Jul 08, 2015 03:26AM) (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments For me, I've already read and reviewed Vision of Shadows (Vision, #1) by Vincent Morrone and it looks like it's winning. Can I only take part in the other 7 GBRs then? (Not that I'm likely to read them all though. Just trying to plan ahead. 7 should be enough to keep me entertained for a while! :D )

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90931 comments Mod
Basically. The idea was that if we had lots of GBR's then there should be something for everybody to read.


message 11: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Great, tahnks :D

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 8401 comments Are those books pictured above the ones we will be reading? I hope so because I finally own one of them and can join in!

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90931 comments Mod
The books above were the ones in the vote, the polls ended today though so I'll be sorting out which ones we're actually reading in a bit ☺


message 14: by rachel, x (new)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 8401 comments Okay. Thanks Sarah!

Connie, I can't give you full points for Kiss of Deception because you read it more than 7 days before the buddy read start date ☹

Connie (sunstormsandthunderclouds) | 3978 comments But because it's a GBR can we not read it any time during the month????

We asked that people not start until 7 days before the start date, as the idea is that we read the books together. Usually GBR's run for 4 weeks from the start date rather than the month that they start.
