OMG whaaaaaaat? LOL ok thank..."

yeah that sucks bad :(

Also, it's sad that our team is reading so much but doesn't gain enough points because those aren't BRs :/

Also, do you guys think we should try to cover all the categories? I mean, we could read some shorter books, easy ones, like maybe Kasie West, Enid Blyton, Francine Pascal or something? It'd give us a 50 point boost, and also we'll get to round two which means more categories :)

Oh right~ there'd be a 50 point boost!

I put down 13 books for 13 categories (I'm about to finish book No.5 ). I'll see if I can change some of the books I haven't read to easier reads or find books written in verses.

I'm guilty of not doing too many BRs lol. Last month drained my reading energy because I read almost everything on BR then and I read like 17 books. But I'll try my best to read more BR when my mood picks up! :D

And yes let's try to cover all the categories. Kasie West is a good choice because most of her books, you can finish within a day. Morgan Matson's and Mariana Zapata's books are also easy reads :)

We have 31 categories left to be filled right now. Anyone has any recommendations for quick reads for those categories?

Oh by the way the spreadsheet is not the most up-to-date it seems. For example, I'm pretty sure the "less than 100 ratings (wyoming)" category has been filled already, but it's blank on the spreadsheet.

Haha, I understand that. I'm reading almost all the books as BRs this time and its definitely taking its toll :P

Yeah, I'm trying to do the same.

Do you think we should split up categories and assign them to each member or something? Idk, just a suggestion :) It'd be easier that way

NA books are also quick and easy reads. You can finish 1 or 2 in a day

Maica wrote: "NA books are also quick and easy reads. You can finish 1 or 2 in a day"

You mean New Adult?
I was thinking of R.L. Stine books. All are easy read and its easy to find those books for all those categories

If we agree on a series BR for Goosebumps books , maybe we can read different books together , and catch up with the categories too! + the bonus points :)

Yup! I mean New Adult.
I'm game! I'm not sure how many Goosebumps books I can get though xD

I like the idea of us doing a series BR! Can the Goosebumps books be read out of order?

Yup. I think so :) Should we set up the series BR thread tomorrow? I think I have a couple of Goosebumps books available

Yeah maybe we can assign categories with corresponding Goosebumps books too?

We'll have to decide who reads which book for what all categories

Yay. Let's do this!

I have these books availble! :)

I took the werewolf spot! :) I'm not sure where the other two books fit though xD

I don't really know much about the Goosebumps series. Please feel free to assign a spot + book to me :)

Zihan wrote: "I don't really know much about the Goosebumps series. Please feel free to assign a spot + book to me :)"

Are you okay with these slots? :)
Read a book which has a metal in the title.
Read a book which has "Heaven" or "Hell" in the title.

Oops xD I think they don't have books that fit those categories. Sorry about that! These books fit the ff categories :D



* Indiana - Read a book with a hat on the cover.
* Texas - Read a book about ghosts.
* Kansas - Read a book with red shoes on the cover.

I'm not sure about the other books though. I didn't check their publication dates so I don't know if any of them fit in those categories

Zihan, could we please switch your review for The Outsider to either Nevada - Murder mystery or Hawaii - Crime novel?
That would free us the Horror novel spot 😊 which is basically any goosebumps book

seems interesting as well so I'll try to read that too xD

Maica wrote: " I have these books availble! :)"

There's a November edition for which would go for South Dakota

And so far, the only category Why I'm Afraid of Bees fit is Wings on cover :/

Does that count? I thought it was supposed to be the first time published? :O

Sure! I can change the spreadsheet but do I need to post it again in the review thread or ...? How do we let Sarah know about such changes?

OK I'll read this first:

Indiana - Read a book with a hat on the cover.

I just put on the spreadsheet.
Also I think we need to make sure the page count is over 150 right? Since it's 150 pages minimum for middle grade books.

I'll also read for Wisconsin - a book with the letters “C” “O" "W" in the title.

Zihan wrote: "I just put on the spreadsheet.

You just have to tell Sarah in the review thread that you're switching your book to either Nevada/Hawaii :)

OK thanks I'll do it now!

OK I moved The Outsider to Nevada (murder mystery) so now Maine (horror) is open!

Finished

If anyone wants to read with me, let me know :) It would fit around 4 categories too -
•Nicholar Sparks book,
•MC name starts with N,
•clouds on the cover,
• love triangle..

Plus its only around 200 pages - super quick read. A reread for me 😊 Theres a 300+ page edition too

I can read it with you guys as well! I've been wanting to read this ever since I watched the movie. When can we have our BR?

Here's the BR for the Goosebumps series btw! :)
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

• love triangle - @Fuzaila
•Nicholas Sparks book - @Zihan
•MC name starts with N - @Maica

What do you guys think? It maybe easier to get a book for clouds on the cover because we have the entire goosebumps collection to choose from :)
