Great thanks! And exactly! It's a good way to get through your TBR pile


Jasmine (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ | 75 comments How do we set up BR's for those other books? I've never done it before


message 21: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Jasmine wrote: "How do we set up BR's for those other books? I've never done it before"

What other books need a BR?


message 22: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) I'm wondering where the rest of our team is...


Jasmine (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ | 75 comments Alaina wrote: "Jasmine wrote: "How do we set up BR's for those other books? I've never done it before"

What other books need a BR?"


Oh I was talking about the books we were discussing earlier with Ashleigh like Stalking Jack the Ripper, Bird Box, etc. but I guess we haven't really decided on a day to set them yet? If we are doing that


Jasmine (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ | 75 comments Hopefully the rest of the team shows up soon

Yeah I don't think a date was set yet.. what day works for you both? 'Cause when we figure that out then we can look to see if there are already threads made and then we can just request to get them reset to the day we want.

Yeah true! For me the date isn't too much of an issue I think my current BR's are spread out enough so it won't cause any problems

Yup. Haha I think I now have at least 1 book for each description! Definitely have a ton under Vampire thanks to the Morganville Vampires series lol


message 29: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Haha oh man I haven't even looked to see what books will go with certain categories


message 30: by Ashleigh (new)

Ashleigh | 3391 comments All the books I've picked, I've made sure they fit a certain category, so that should be okay haha.

Alaina, do you wanna pick some dates for the books and I can work around your BR schedule


message 31: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Oh mean, okay:
Before She Ignites (Fallen Isles Trilogy #1) by Jodi Meadows for Oct. 3rd?

Stalking Jack the Ripper (Stalking Jack the Ripper, #1) by Kerri Maniscalco for Oct. 7th?

Lost Boy The True Story of Captain Hook by Christina Henry for Oct. 13th?

Red Queen (Red Queen, #1) by Victoria Aveyard for Oct. 16th?

Bird Box by Josh Malerman for Oct. 19th?

The Winter Children by Lulu Taylor for Oct. 22nd?

Because You Love to Hate Me 13 Tales of Villainy by Ameriie for Oct. 25th?

Murder Games by James Patterson for Oct. 28th?

Any of the dates can be for any book too. I just put down dates where I don't have a lot of books to read. Let me know what works with you two since we want to read a lot of the books above.

and I'll add the ones I think Jasmine wanted to do with you too:

Alice in Zombieland (White Rabbit Chronicles, #1) by Gena Showalter for Oct....?

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood for Oct....?

Only Daughter by Anna Snoekstra for Oct...?

Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough for Oct...?

Phew this is a long ass message. But I also wanted to let you all know I believe I'm starting Cry Wolf (Alpha & Omega, #1) by Patricia Briggs (series) on Oct. 15th if you all want to join.


message 32: by Ashleigh (new)

Ashleigh | 3391 comments All of those dates sound great Alaina, and we can work the other books around them. Do you want to request the threads for those dates?

Yeah I can definitely request those threads. Did you want me to wait for Jasmine to agree on the ones that she asked for before I add them?


message 34: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Like I mean the books that all three of us want to read.. Sorry if my comment above didn't make sense!! I have had 0 cups of coffee so far.


message 35: by Ashleigh (new)

Ashleigh | 3391 comments Oh yeah, sorry haha.


message 36: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Ashleigh wrote: "Oh yeah, sorry haha."

haha it's all good. I'll just put up the ones that we agreed on. I can wait to add the books that all three of us are reading until she agrees.


message 37: by Ashleigh (new)

Ashleigh | 3391 comments I'm just so eager to get this challenge started but we've still got like another 4 days haha

HAHA omg same!! I just want to start reading the books now. That's why I'm taking my sweet time finishing the two books on my currently reading tab.

message 46: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Just looked at the Team Chili thread. You guys are doing amazing!! I stopped adding books for Team Basil.


message 47: by Ashleigh (new)

Ashleigh | 3391 comments I'm hoping to have a better reading month in October. I got stuck in a slump the first week or so of September so I was hoping to do better than I have done.


message 48: by Alaina (new)

Alaina (ameserole) Well we have plenty of BRs to help you out :)


Jasmine (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ | 75 comments Thanks for making all the threads I appreciate it! :)

For the books I asked for we can just work them whenever you want Ashleigh, it's a miracle but I actually have my BR's still pretty decently spaced out besides for the 1st. Also instead of The Handmaid's Tale I would like to do The Fever
