I'm still trying to sort things into categories, but I'm planning on reading some of the below:

How is the reading coming so far?

I finished reading my first book yesterday.
I'm slower but I have to many work at the hospital><

Glad you finished a book! And being slow isn't bad, it's probably just not what we want. Do you work at a hospital?

Hi! I am almost finished with "Sommerboken" and I was wondering what category i should put the book in when I finish it. It fit more categories so I am not sure which would be the best to put it in (-:

You guys can always swap it out for another one if you need to.

What are some of the categories it fits, Eline? :)

Kaylin wrote: "What are some of the categories it fits, Eline? :)"

it fits the categories "book set in a european country" and "book with art on the cover" ( if the illustration on the cover counts)
it also fits "book by a european author" and "book about a vacation" but they seem to be filled by other books in the team rec-aksjer (:

Yes I'm a medical student^^ I have my internship and some night duty so I'm pretty tired.
But I'll be more free next week :)

Well good luck! It seems there are a lot of medical professionals on goodreads. I've met several nurses and such through various groups.

Good luck Hannah!

Finished and posted for luggage, art, beach, and romance. Reading Deadly Memories, but I don't think it will work for any besides romance and I don't think I should take both, so I won't use it. :)

haha. :) I have a feeling a lot of my books this month won't even work for this challenge. O.o

I finally manage to finish my second book *yatta* I should have more time next week with the long week end :)

I'm sorry I've been MIA guys..I have been pretty sick. But I finished a book yesterday..I will try to put a review up today.

Sorry you haven't been feeling well, Colleen! :(

I finished my first book this month, and about to see if it fits any categories.

Thanks Kaylin :). It looks like we both got at least one done!

I hope you are ok now! good luck^^

Thanks Hanna! I'm getting there. Still sick but I think I turned a corner. :)

I put my review up went towards Challenge 3 Number 4 (moon on the cover)

I'm glad to hear that! Health always come first^^

Posted two books. :))

Hope you feel better!

Thanks Melanie! :)

Hi everyone!
I just finished a book .
This would be oK for yellow cover, right?

I'm reading a book I can use for set in a European country or romance. Which do you guys prefer I use it towards?

Colleen, I think that one works for yellow. :))

I think European Country would be good since I'm just about to start a romance.
