Challenge Corner discussion

I'm almost finished with my book for Orange Cover for Round 2. And I banked my book for Round 3 for Thanks/thank you/thankful in text (pg/%) and I'll post that one when Round 3 opens up. =)

Yay!

Yeah I'm about 73% into SCT. So I should finish God Emperor of Dune either tonight or tomorrow morning

I think something is off with our categories on Felicia's side so I'm gonna investigate

Sounds good.

Alaina in your best opinion: is this cover red?

Hmm that looks more brown than red to me.

oooo i'll put it down for brown then? do you think its 75% brown?

Sure lol

I'm planning to listen to Chain of Gold tomorrow and I have a short non-fiction I'll read after that!

Niiiice!

Here are the tasks left for the current round:

Part of a series - The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy (Saige)
MPG Non-fiction - The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist (Andy)
Red cover (75%) - Final girls (Brad)
Page count has ‘25’ in it (ex. 225) - Secret Vampire (Sierra)
MPG classics - claimed by Alaina
Orange cover (75%) - Aurora Burning (Vanessa)
Freebie - basically whatever is first on banked books

I have 15 chapters left in my classics book! So I should be finishing it soon :)

I should have Final Girls done tomorrow

I am about to finish The Song of Achilles today.

Reed, you are on team Jack now. But yes, any book you started this month can be used for your team.

ᕼEY GᑌYᘔ ᗯIᒪᒪ TᕼE ᗷOOK I'ᗰ ᖇEᗩᗪIᑎG ᗯOᖇK ᖴOᖇ Oᑌᖇ TEᗩᗰ

I'll be posting my non-fiction shortly! I have been so busy this week!

Ruthie I had to delete your comment because we are not on round 3 yet but all your links are in the SS so I will get them posted for the categories picked once we get to Round 3. Figured this was easier for Felicia so she doesn't have to bank them and remember to count them later.

Andy, have you finished the one you have in the SS for "25 in page count"? If so you should post it and move Sierra's to round 3

I added another finished book to the banked list for round three. We should be able to knock several categories off right away once we get to it. =)

For that one, does a number like 256 count? If so I could replace something.

Yes, that would count.

I'll post mine now! I was driving for 15 hours yesterday so I passed out as soon as I got home basically

Round 3 can be posted for now! I have a lunch party to go to but I'm hoping to post the rest of my reviews for Rd 3 tonight. I'll probably read authors initals in PIE tomorrow

Trying to use up Alaina's books for the text prompts, but these are the ones currently unclaimed that we don't have any banked books for:

Best Holiday list
author's initials in FEAST
author's initials in MEAL
author's initials in AUTUMN

Helllllllo everyone!

For the people who claimed tasks in Round 3, but are either currently reading or planning to read next, do you mind if I move them to the 'banked area'? That way we can move the books that are completed and reviewed out of the way first?

Or, if you want, we can just leave it as is for this round (Round 3) but moving forward claim tasks for books that are already read and reviewed?

ᕼEY GᑌYᔕ !

Oh and since Sierra is on vacay until this weekend, I moved her book that we had in Round 3 to the banked area as well. So that task is open to claim too. 'Page count with '25' in it'

Brad I moved your two books to some of the harder prompts:

Call down the hawk is in Rd 4, bird on cover

Thunderhead is in Rd 4, published 25th of the month with this edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

The edition link is also in the spreadsheet

copy that do I need to change that in the review

Brad wrote: "copy that do I need to change that in the review"

nope!

okay sounds good
