Laura | 632 comments On February I'm going to be reading Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter . It matches #9 - 9. make up or Jewellery on the cover (or title)


message 29: by Laura (new)

Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) Laura wrote: "Plus, I can't seem to find Finding Paris by Joy Preble so I don't know if I'm going to be able to read that :("

I'll back it up with The Shadow (The Florentine, #2) by Sylvain Reynard


message 31: by Laura (new)

Laura | 632 comments In 6 hours is the 1st of February here, so I'm going to be starting with An Incomplete Revenge (Maisie Dobbs, #5) by Jacqueline Winspear and Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden .

The first one I will be reading for 2 or 3 days (hopefully 2). And the second one I will be reading in my work breaks, so it may take one week to finish, more or less.


message 32: by Connie (new)

Connie (sunstormsandthunderclouds) | 3978 comments I'm finding it hard to find the time to sit down and make a list of my TBR but I'm going to be starting Amy and Roger's Epic Detour tomorrow for a couple on the cover

noted. will add it up :)


message 35: by Laura (new)

Laura | 632 comments But shouldn't we be reading books to fill categories that don't have any books yet? For example, we already had a suggestion for a couple in the cover, I think we should try and read books from categories not taken. That is if we want to complete the challenge, of course.


message 36: by Beatrice (last edited Feb 01, 2016 04:33AM) (new)

Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) It will be added on List 2 if ever one of us finishes a book in the same category, that will give us an advantage in finishing the second list.

I can put The Fill-In Boyfriend on letter F though. :)


message 37: by Beatrice (new)

Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) I'm almost done with Captivated by You (Crossfire, #4) by Sylvia Day


message 38: by Connie (new)

Connie (sunstormsandthunderclouds) | 3978 comments I've finished Amy and Roger's Epic Detour (couple) and The Strange Power (a book with a woman on the cover)


message 39: by Connie (new)

Connie (sunstormsandthunderclouds) | 3978 comments Books I'm going to read;

Man on the cover (Best man)
Der geheime Bund (Visionen der Nacht, #2) by L.J. Smith

Flowers on the cover
La Passione (Dark Visions, #3) by L.J. Smith

A Blue cover
How the Wolf Lost Her Heart by Sarah Brownlee


message 40: by Beatrice (new)

Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) noted Connie! :)


message 41: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Gunter I just finished Inferno (Blood for Blood, #2) by Catherine Doyle do any of you have any ideas of which category I could fit it into? :)


Vanessa Gayle ⚔️ Fangirl Faction (fangirlfaction) | 3795 comments @Rachel - It has a flower on the cover so it would fit #13.


message 43: by Beatrice (new)

Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) Rachel wrote: "I just finished Inferno (Blood for Blood, #2) by Catherine Doyle do any of you have any ideas of which category I could fit it into? :)"

It can be #13 or #25


message 44: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Gunter Thanks guys! I'll post a review for it later today in one of those categories :)


message 45: by Laura (new)

Laura | 632 comments I've finished An Incomplete Revenge (Maisie Dobbs, #5) by Jacqueline Winspear and I'm going to post the review now.

I'm continuing with Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden and today I'm starting Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter for jewellery on the cover.


message 46: by Beatrice (new)

Beatrice (beatricemasalunga) @Laura - Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter --> this will be added to Round 2 yay! :D


Vanessa Gayle ⚔️ Fangirl Faction (fangirlfaction) | 3795 comments I just finished The Prophecy of Shadows (Elementals, #1) by Michelle Madow if you can think of a category that it would fit in. =]


message 48: by Laura (new)

Laura | 632 comments Vanessa wrote: "I just finished The Prophecy of Shadows (Elementals, #1) by Michelle Madow if you can think of a category that it would fit in. =]"

What about an "E" in FOREVER?


Vanessa Gayle ⚔️ Fangirl Faction (fangirlfaction) | 3795 comments @Laura - Elementals is the name of the series, so I don't know if that would count or not. The book name is The Prophecy of Shadows.


message 50: by Connie (new)

Connie (sunstormsandthunderclouds) | 3978 comments I've finished those books and Dead House by Dawn Kitaigh (I can't spell her last name) for a new book and I'm reading New World Rising for a borrowed book (kindle unlimited)

My reviews will either be up tomorrow or Friday
