Challenge Corner discussion

Okay will wait for what the others have to say :) I have around an hour now that I'll keep reading, and hopefully get past 20% mark. Then I've gotta go back to work again :/

Finished up these two:



And reading this one now:

Oh nice!

Right tomorrow I'll have 2 more books done.

Finished Traitor's Game, so going with Traitor for broke.

Sounds good! I will be posting some reviews and updating the SS tomorrow for us all. It has been a crazy couple days!

Yeah I agree!

I've finished this one. Let me know if it fits anywhere. =)



Reading this one now:

Okay so in a nutshell here is our current status. I am looking at having us switch out books for people that are not finished if we can find an answer just as good as what the offered.

26. Marissa Meyer's wrote a secret new book for her series, Wires and Nerve, and it's called ________. (3/4)
Bookbuyer-Needs to read: -Renegades

2. "Why weren't you in potions?" asked Ron. "________" Harry replied. (2/4)
Jamie-Needs to read: Archenemies
Bookbuyer-Needs to read: Archenemies

Oprah's book of the month is "________ For ________: A Story of Hope." (6/8)
Bookbuyer- Needs to read: Girls
Bookbuyer: Finished (pending above book): Enchantment

Why am I broke? ________. (2/4)
Maddison- Needs to read: Thief
???

8. I'm sorry, Professor, but I couldn't complete my homework because of ________. (2/4)
Nikk- finished but needs to post: A Cold
Jamie- Needs to read: Frostbite

Alright I think I have the SS bank up to date. If I am missing any finished books or in progress books please add them or let me know :)

Meanwhile I am off to write my review for renegades to get it up :)

Another consideration: switch out Bookbuyer's titles for
Oprah's book of the month is "________ For ________: A Story of Hope."
And let Nikk use it for
Fortune's Favor and Angelfall as:

"A Fortune for Susan: A Story of Hope."

Fortune would work and since we can use author names and I think getting Angelfall to work could be tricky.

If we do this, we get a new card. What do others think?

I've swapped my Daughter for Traitor, because I DNFed Daughter. I'm currently reading Queen's Wing.

Ahh so we still need 1 more for broke then...

I am currently reading Siege and Storm as well, so maybe we could use Siege?

Vanessa, would you like to post Opal (Use as opals) for broke then? Gems could cause one to go broke and opals can be expensive. What do others think?

Edited the status post for our cards.

Yeah why not!

Meanwhile I got to go get on Frostbite and Archenemies today :)

I have some manga to post later too.

Yes you do XD

Hopefully later this afternoon if not tomorrow at the latest.

Maddison wrote: "Yeah why not!"

Do you like this better than yours? Same or Less? Sorry I gues we posted around the same time.

I don't mind XD I'm just reading.

Ok so renegades got no bonus pts so maybe we should look at finished books and swap that for sure since we know it makes no difference but a different title might or at least finishes the category

Alright so Vanessa, if you can please post your review of Opal for the broke card. :)

Maddison what do you think of using Hollowland (The Hollows #1) by Amanda Hocking as either The Hollows or Hollowland for the Marissa Meyer's card?

Or ' The Gladiator' (Zom-b Gladiator) or Vanessa's The Nightshade's Touch (Messenger Chronicles) by Pippa Decosta as "Touch"?

Any/All opinions welcome on this. :)

So I need to read and

I don't think I will end up getting to this month but I'll try. You might want to find another book for that spot in the mean time.

I also need to post

And I also of course finished

Is that all correct?

Bookbuyer wrote: "So I need to read and

As of now yes, but Renegades gave us no bonus point so I was thinking maybe putting something else there now and when you finish Renegades we can use it for another card. If that is okay. If it gave the extra pts I'd say wait but since it wont...

And yes I added your amazing read of Cerulean to our banked books. :)

Guess we need to take a look at banked for the HP too.

I fell behind on so many planned books. I barely read any Fruits Basket so I hope to do a bit better in Dec. But is is usually a tougher month. Although I think I am pulling out of my slump a bit.

Jamie wrote: "Bookbuyer wrote: "So I need to read and

NP. I'm not really into Renegades right now anyway. So it was just going to try to fast track it for that category. Right now I'm reading Descendant of the Crane but it's too high fantasy for me right now so I was going to try for a more urban fantasy read like Vision in Silver.

Jamie wrote: "I fell behind on so many planned books. I barely read any Fruits Basket so I hope to do a bit better in Dec. But is is usually a tougher month. Although I think I am pulling out of my slump a bit."

Same. I had to really weed out my BRs because of that. Now I have a completely different schedule. Focusing on my manga mostly so I can still meet the Goodreads goal I set earlier this year of 365.

Bookbuyer wrote: "Jamie wrote: "Bookbuyer wrote: "So I need to read and

Yeah I don't want to take a spot from you but its no fun when you are being then pushed to read something you aren't into right now. Although I must say I loved my reread of Renegades and am about to dive into Archenemies in a few minutes.

Bookbuyer wrote: "Jamie wrote: "I fell behind on so many planned books. I barely read any Fruits Basket so I hope to do a bit better in Dec. But is is usually a tougher month. Although I think I am pulling out of my..."

I am alternating. 2 novel chapters, 1 manga chapter right now. This might change depending how close (or further) I get from my goal.

Any preference for what to use for that spot then? I need ideas/opinions!

And how are you doing with Girls of Paper and Fire? Shall we leave that one or change it up? Again, just curious :)

Uh change it up? I hoping to still finish it but like I said I want something more urban than high fantasy right now. Brain is friend on high fantasy right now thanks to Cerulean. :)

Bookbuyer wrote: "Uh change it up? I hoping to still finish it but like I said I want something more urban than high fantasy right now. Brain is friend on high fantasy right now thanks to Cerulean. :)"

Yeah I am just trying to get us new cards since we have so many banked and I think those titles can be otherwise easily used and Nikk's Angelfall will be tricky swapping them out to get us a new category would be good. But only if you are okay with it.

Jamie wrote: "Bookbuyer wrote: "Uh change it up? I hoping to still finish it but like I said I want something more urban than high fantasy right now. Brain is friend on high fantasy right now thanks to Cerulean...."

Switch around what you want. I'm very easy going. ^-^

So for 2. "Why weren't you in potions?" asked Ron. "_____________" Harry replied.


Maybe either Vanessa's- Pain (Curse of the Gods) by Jane Washington using either "Pain" or " The Curse" or Maddie's Book of Spells (Private) by Kate Brian or her Siege and Storm using "The Siege" ?

Renegades we can maybe even use Cerulean (??...) but these can also work.

We can also Keep your use of An Enchantment of Ravens and still use author name for Nikk's angelfall so it would be:
16. Oprah’s book of the month is “"An Enchantment" For "Susan": A Story of Hope.” Since we can mix them.

Ack. Butchered that post for a minute but fixed now

Siege or Curse would work best I think.

Sure. Want me to post Enchantment?

We have to post them together? Can you check if bill wrote her review? If so then if you can post both that would be awesome!

I am on my phone right now so not easy to check

Jamie wrote: "We have to post them together? Can you check if bill wrote her review? If so then if you can post both that would be awesome!"

'Bill' has not. lol. She'll have to do it when she's on next. ^-^

Omg lol what did autocorrect do???????!!! It changes Nikk’s name!! Bwahaha

Jamie wrote: "Omg lol what did autocorrect do???????!!! It changes Nikk’s name!! Bwahaha"

I was so confused at first lol. I had no clue who 'Bill' was but then I figured out it was Nikk lol. No idea she had a secret identity. :P

Autocorrect is really funny sometimes. 😂

Can you link yours here? Then maybe she can just post both then :)

Sure! I think I already had a few pages back. Let me check. Also I will link Cerulean here in case you find a spot for it.

Sweet!! Hopefully we can get some things moving again then :)

It's a good thing I posted the Cerulean here as I just remembered I forgot to post it on YA Buddies. Oops.
