So I've got at least one book for every category but photography. #6 and #2 is easiest for me though. :)

How do you guys want to do this? Should we make a spreadsheet? Divide categories? Claim as we go?

I will have my planning up hopefully after memorial weekend.

KK. :)

I think I have no books for #6
Might have something for #3

Can we switch books around once the review is posted and the category is closed?

Don't know. I'll ask the mods. :)

Thanks Giulia. ^-^

Also I just realized I never posted the answer to your question that I got from the mods. So here it is:

If you have a category, say category 1 closed, and you have a book that would fit it better and one from that category you can replace it with, yes. You can't switch books from a category that's closed if you have nothing to replace it with.

Only about 24 hours left till the challenge begins? What is everyone starting off with?

I'll be staring with (#2) and (#6)

I think I'll start with for #3

I'm starting off with for Plus one.

**Remember that three books must be read in order for a category to be considered complete.**

I'm here!

I'm going to start off with

That will work for #3 A book Published in June.

So right now looks like we have:

#1- 1 book (Jamie reading)

#3-2 Books (Myself and Bookbuyer)

#6-

#23-

So we still need:

#1- 2 more Books needed

#3- 1 more Book needed

#6- 3 Books needed

#23- 3 Books needed

Does anybody HAVE a book for #23? It seems like it could be a hard one so we should pass on it early if we can.

I'm trying to find some lists with photography but all I'm finding so far are Non-Fiction type photography books. Maybe someone else has some ideas? If not maybe we should pass. But we might get it again later on.

Also I'm going to read for #6.
Read a new release (Jan-June 2017)

So update on our status is:

#1- 1 book (Jamie reading)

#3-2 Books (Myself and Bookbuyer)

#6- 1 Book (Myself)

#23-

So we still need:

#1- 2 more Books needed

#3- 1 more Book needed

#6- 2 Books needed

#23- 3 Books needed

I found at least one good list for books on photography.

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...

If I find more I will post more links.

Colleen you accidentally wrote #1 instead of #2 in your tracking thread. ^-^

Also I will definitely be reading these books so you can add these ones as well to the list. :)

(#2)
(#6)
(#2)
(#2)
(#3)

I don't know which one you originally counted so there might be a double here. :/

So I've started Red Rising (4%). I'm hoping to get half done today and also at least half done of Royal Bastards.

Thanks Colleen☺️

For now, I've only added the 2 books that Bookbuyer has already started, I'll add the others later.
Tell me if I've got something wrong :)

Looks good to me. :)

Now we must need to know what Maya is reading. Hopefully she has something for photography. :)

I've started (3%) which I'll have to use for #2 as well. :/

Ur welcome Jackie...I hope that was OK?!

That looks great Bookbuyer! I'm going to try to find some links for photography but that one list had quite a few books so I think we could probably find something in that if we want to keep it.

She meant thank you for signing in. :)

I own a few of the books on that list but none of them are books I really want to read so I have some if we're desperate but I'd prefer to pass if it comes to that. :/

****#23 has been altered, you may now use books that have a photograph on the cover (this would include Polaroids, framed pictures, etc) or a book that involves photography.****

Courtney I found this list under Photography and since its been altered I was wondering if we could use books from this list?

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7...

That list seems to only include covers that have a lens flare, but not be about photography or have a photograph on the cover, so I don't think most of those would work.

Here are a couple of lists with books that should work: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7...
