Gayatri | 977 comments Hey guys checking in :)


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) Checking in! Excited about this challenge :-) definitely going to take some teamwork, but those are my favorite challenges!
Also this challenge will be my main focus in October, so I'm hoping to accomplish a lot of but he reads :-)

Using Random.org, your categories to complete are...

54. A book with a flower on the cover
51. A sci-fi book
85. A book featuring angels
67. A book published in October (any year)
14. A book with a close-up of an eye on the cover

Christina | 4293 comments Hiya! Checking in :)


message 6: by Gayatri (new)

Gayatri | 977 comments Guys how are we going to go about this?


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) Good question, because we only need 4 books from Each category, can we read multiple books from the same category? If anybody has any ideas for any of the categories put them out there, if we buddy we get more points :-)

I do still need to read End of Days, that has angels
Also with a science fiction, does it just have to be shelved as science-fiction?
I need to do some investigating on flour, October, and now I can't remember the other one :-)


message 8: by Gayatri (new)

Gayatri | 977 comments Yeah I think we can read multiple books from each category but, we can only read four in each. So one person can read four books from the same description or four people can read one book each and cross of the description :)

I think it has to be shelved as science fiction


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) Honestly, I'm probably not going to read the books just from a single category, I would probably get burned out!
Also lots of things are shelved as science-fiction, that I wouldn't necessarily consider that, so I'm going to look into that :-) it's not my go to genre.


message 10: by Christina (new)

Christina | 4293 comments Once we complete a category (4 times) Sarah will replace that category with another one, right?


message 11: by Christina (last edited Sep 24, 2015 03:57AM) (new)

Christina | 4293 comments I'm happy to read one of each category. I guess it gives us variety in our reading month than if we just do the same category more than twice?

Most of the books I want to read happen to be the last book of series LOL If any of you are up to it we can buddy!! Otherwise I'll look for alternatives to maximise points ;)

54. A book with a flower on the cover The Ruby Circle (Bloodlines, #6) by Richelle Mead
51. A sci-fi book Emerald Green (The Ruby Red Trilogy, #3) by Kerstin Gier The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness Zeroes by Scott Westerfeld
85. A book featuring angels Boundless (Unearthly, #3) by Cynthia Hand Halo (Halo, #1) by Alexandra Adornetto
67. A book published in October (any year) The Death Cure (Maze Runner, #3) by James Dashner
14. A book with a close-up of an eye on the cover Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

So pretty!


message 14: by Eesh (new)

Eesh (quirkyopinions) | 7289 comments To be honest, I think the eye one is gonna be the hardest. The others are pretty general. The flower one will be first for me since I'm gonna be finishing the Covenant series (last 3 books) first thing next month.

Oh and, checking in!


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) I can definitely do Before I Fall


message 16: by Christina (new)

Christina | 4293 comments I agree. Immediately I thought of the Shatter Me series but I'm not rereading that anytime soon. I think closeup of two eyes will be acceptable :)


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) We should probably get clarification on that, also we need to remember only books that fit the categories will count, so we need to try to make books fit into these categories :-)


message 18: by Christina (new)

Christina | 4293 comments I will ask on the main thread!


message 19: by Gayatri (new)

Gayatri | 977 comments Guys i can read one of each category as well :)


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) I also can read a book from every category, not a problem :-)
I think the only category I will have any trouble with is that BRR, isn't that books you specifically get to review? I haven't really ventured into that as of yet,


message 21: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90950 comments Mod
Yep, BR&R is Buddy Read and Review. You can see the schedule for October here - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...


message 22: by Christina (new)

Christina | 4293 comments @Berit
We can buddy before I fall! When would be convenient for you?


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) Whenever, I'm pretty wide-open in October :-) I guess we should do it ASAP when the month starts, LOL!


message 24: by Christina (new)

Christina | 4293 comments Shall we start on the 1st?
Im going try to read a book every 2-3 days. This month only averaging 4-5 lol


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) Perfect, but remember your first is not my first, LOL! I'm still in Thursday :-)


message 26: by Christina (new)

Christina | 4293 comments I'll start a bit earlier but I'm sure you'll surpass me real quick :P

@Mystery - Are you talking about the Covenant series by Lynn Landes? I don't think there are flowers on those... but I think they'll count for angels. Also, are you reading all three of the books in this series? (I'll update my "tracking" post once you reply).


message 32: by Gayatri (new)

Gayatri | 977 comments I think she is talking about the Covenant series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. There are flowers on those books


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) Danielle I can BR the host, With you, I'm trying to read books I already own and I own that book :-)


message 34: by Christina (new)

Christina | 4293 comments Hiya Danielle! Can you add Death Cure to October list? I'm off to find a buddy for that one :)


Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) I'm going to do some investigating on the October category, I'm sure I can find something :-)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) @ Danielle, whenever is fine, let's try to make it as early as possible maybe the third?

Danielle ♥ (readwithmedani) | 2410 comments @Berit Sounds great! 10/3 it is.


message 50: by Christina (last edited Sep 27, 2015 01:20AM) (new)

Christina | 4293 comments I'll be reading City of Fallen Angels for Angel book :) Please put me down for that! Cheers

Oh and could you please move Death Cure to Published in October? because I think Scifi will be easier to complete :)
