Excited for this challenge! :)
Transparent sounds the most interesting.

I checked and I only have access to

I'm most interested in and ! I think I'd go with either if it's okay :) I'll check my access to the books later on. :D

I'm only interested in which I can get from one of my local libraries within a couple of days.

So Zara can read and Jess can read .
I can do and that leaves us 2 books left. Oh, and we can still drop/swap btw.

I put on hold at the library, so I'll probably have it sometime next week. :)

so do we now get the book we're interested in and start reading it?

I don't really do well on contemporary books, so 'll pass for so I guess I'll take if that's ok with everyone :)

We also have the option of Swapping or dropping.

since Nicole's the only one left to choose, she'll decide if we have to swap or drop a book, since it seems that the 4 of us had chosen our book to read. What d'ya guys think?

Yes, I thinks so. Gisbelle answered in the questions thread that reading the book can be started asap and the deadline is March 31.

Hey guys, some books are already available for swap on the Swapping Area :)

Wow, guys! Sorry I didn't see this til now! Is the only book left? I'd like to swap or drop it lol, it doesn't sound that good to me. Did anyone else want to swap or drop their book? Are we able to swap or drop more than one book? Or can we only do it once?

We can only swap and drop one book. If you want to swap or drop your book than I think you can.

Nicole, I would possibly be interested in reading No one needs to know and I can get it from my library.

The only problem is that we are still waiting on a member so the book that I would have to swap isn't set in stone yet....

Hi Nicole! I'm actually quite curious with as I've never read an LGBT Contemporary haha So you may also have the option to read . I'll still check if I have access to though. :)

Hi, sorry. I think you are on the wrong thread hehe This thread is for Group One :)

I think Mandiann was actually interested in doing a book swap for that title, but if you want to read it, Cassey, I would love to read Frostfire and I CAN get it from my library! I was actually already on hold for it :)

Yes, that is what I was trying to say but I am equally happy with the book I have been assigned in my group. If Cassey can read No One Needs to Know then there is no need to swap.

Thanks for the option though, Mandiann! Hopefully we all end up with books we love :)

Yeah, I've gotten hold of a copy of so I'm good with it :)

I've got a copy of the book I'll be reading as well.

Awesome, guys! I've got my copy of as well!

I've also got my copy of

Oh my, you're fast, I haven't even found a copy of the book assigned to me..

I finished my book yesterday (27th February) and unfortunately I found it didn't match up in the interesting stakes with how the blurb sounded.

book: The Ghosts of Heaven by Marcus Sedgwick
finished: 27th February 2015
rating: 2 stars.

That's too bad it wasn't a great book for you. I'm reading mine right now, and it's pretty good so far!

Finished my book today!

I'm very frustrated with where this story ended. I understand it's a series and the author wants to leave it on a cliffhanger to motivate people to read the sequel...but, UGH! Parts of the story just weren't very strong to me. The characters aren't as well-developed as I like, and the plot (although set in an interesting "world" within our world) dragged a bit for me at times. The action sequences were the best part, increasing my interest in the book. Then, BAM! It ends right when it gets good. *Sigh*

Hi guys! I just finished reading ! I'm adding a review soon enough. Currently, I'm rating it as 3 stars :)

Update: Review here.
