Descriptions which are full (means four people are already reading for it) :
1. A couple on the cover
5. Book told from a female point of view
6. A new book
8. A borrowed book
15. A car or transport on the cover
17. Book with a man on the cover (best man) 18. Book with a woman or girl on the cover (bridesmaid)

Hey everyone, I reckon we should all introduce ourselves before we start. So I'm Eva

Hi Eva! =)

Have you ever done this challenge before?

I've never done this challenge, but I did another challenge last year

Okay. I was thinking of making a strategy for this challenge. Might make things easier. What do you think?

Yeah, that's a really good idea, I was thinking the same thing

Part 1 - The Bride and Groom

1*A couple on the cover, ✓
2*a dress on the cover
3*a tiara or veil on the cover
4* Book told from a male point of view✓
5* Book told from a female point of view ✓
6* A New Book (from 2015 onwards - ARCs are fine too),
7*a blue book (either a book with a blue cover on goodreads, or with 'blue' in the title) ✓
8*a borrowed book (borrow from a friend, a library, kindle lending, etc. I'll take your word on this one as I can't check if you really borrowed it ☺)
9*make up or Jewellery on the cover (or title)
10* A man in a suit on the cover

I was thinking maybe we could start from a single part and then decide on reading books to complete the descriptions of that particular part. After that, we could move onto another part. Do you have another strategy in mind?

Yeah that sounds like a good idea. It's definitely logical to go in order, so we should start with the bride and groom

Okay, then. I'll see through my TBR to find some books which I can read to complete the descriptions.

I can read for 7*a blue book (either a book with a blue cover on goodreads, or with 'blue' in the title) and for 5* Book told from a female point of view.

We would need somebody to keep track of what everyone is reading in a post or two. If no one else volunteers, you guys can count on me. I love to organise and plan. =)

I am here. I have planned out what I am going to read for this. challenge. I will post them when I get to my kindle :)

Hi, Courtney! ^-^

Hi I am Michela. I am not exactly sure how this challenges work as this is my first one.

Hi, Michela! No worries about the challenge. If you have any doubts, feel free to ask us. We'll help you out! :-)

I can read for part 4. The happily ever after a book that is starting with F. and I can also read for *1. A couple on the cover

Part one.
1)
2)
3)
6)
8)
Part two.
15) (Got to check with Sarah first with this one)
17)
18)
Part three.
28)

Part 4.

My only issue is that some of this will be due back soon. So I might have to read some in other areas before part one is finish. Hopefully that is okay.

Hi I'm Amrita but you can call me Ammo, I'll look through my books later to see what parts I can complete :)

That's okay. There's no rule that part one has to be completed before we start the other parts. I suggested to focus on a single part to make things easier. But, you can read for others too. =)

I have a slight confusion regarding whose name to add for a title starting with F for part-4 because both Michela and Courtney said they would do it.

Can either book be used for another description?

Courtney wrote: "Can either book be used for another description?"

Oh, yes! Michela's book Five Summers can be used for task #16. So, I'll add hers for task #16 and yours for title starting with F.

I can read for 9*make up or Jewellery on the cover (or title). Also, I updated posts #24, 26 and 28 with books I can read for some descriptions.

Hi everyone. I can't wait to get started. I will look at all the categories tonight and will post here later what I will love to read..

Hey Cinthia! ^-^

will work as long as I use this cover https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...)

I can also read 15* A Car or Transport on the cover.

put me down for Part 1 #8 (Jewelry on the cover)

6* All the rage by Courtney Summers.

2* a dress on the cover. Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers

Can I just change part 1 #8 for lovely bones by Alice sebold... And Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin to part 2 #12 to a ring on the cover? Sorry...

Part 1 #10 a man in a suit on the cover. the neon lawyer by Victor Methos.

Hey guys these are mine. Some of them fit more than one description so I can move them around a bit if need be.
Part 1 #7
Part 1 #6
Part 2 #11
Part 2 #28
Part 4 Letter V

Michela wrote: "I can also read 15* A Car or Transport on the cover."

I'm going to put this one for #23 because this edition (Love Trip: Bitte nicht den Fahrer küssen!) has love in the title.

Michela wrote: "I can read for part 4. The happily ever after a book that is starting with F. and I can also read for *1. A couple on the cover"

I have put Paradise for #25.

Courtney, I switched your book (The Training) to #29 as this edition (L'Apprentie) has a shoe on the cover.

Part 1 #6 [bookcover:Big Girl: How ..."

Hi Dana! ^-^

Does Gone Wild work for a description other than #11 too?

Do we have another adult book? If bot why are we changing it? Also you realize four of us can do the same book right? If I understand it right four of us can read one book together, and use the same description. Does that make sense?

Plus if we find one that fits the category better later we can ask Sarah or Abbie to switch it around :)

Courtney, Dana posted that her book, The Astonishing Return of Norah Wells, fits #28 (Read an adult novel). So, instead of having two books for the same description I thought of using your book for a decription that nobody could yet cover. The main reason was that if we could complete all the descriptions of a part, we'll get extra points. I hope this makes sense. :-)
