Jill | 3313 comments checking in. I still don't really know how to play this one LOL


☆☆Hannah☆☆ | 6596 comments I have books for 17 of the words.


@Jill...The goal of this challenge is to read books for the 26 words listed. We can have the whole word in the title/author/series name or use multiple books for a word to spell it out.

That's great! I don't really have any planned reads yet. 😕

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13891 comments I made a spreadsheet we can use, if it is helpful. 😊

message 9: by Jill (new)

Jill | 3313 comments Is it only one letter per book? Unless the word is in the title?

I think so - unless the word is in the title, series, or author's name.

Kay-Mika | 1812 comments I can read Vampire Academy which will Cover the Word Vampire and, If it counts I can re-read which has the German word Erzdämon (english- Archdemon) in it


☆☆Hannah☆☆ | 6596 comments Does anybody think that they can find a book with either xenophobia or bogeyman in it? If not, some of us should try and spell those out together. I think those will be the two hardest to find the whole word in the title.

I agree - I think those are definitely ones we will need to spell-out.

If you are looking for buddies, I can buddy read The Delusion We All Have Our Demons (The Delusion #1) by Laura Gallier (I already plan on reading The Defiance (The Delusion Series) by Laura Gallier ).

I'll definitely read How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix for Haunted .

message 22: by Melanie (last edited Sep 30, 2023 02:24PM) (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13891 comments I have options/books for most of the full words. These are the ones I don't have anything I want to read for, except spell out options: Alien, Bogeyman, Insanity, Macabre, Graveyard, Xenophobia, and Unearthly.

I have a book for the full word Tombstone, so do you mind if we use your books for spelling out Xenophobia or Macabre?


message 32: by Jill (new)

message 36: by Jill (new)

Jill | 3313 comments finished happy place and posted my review. Starting Song of Achilles which can help spell xenophobia or unearthly. Opinions?


message 37: by Jill (new)

Jill | 3313 comments I also have a book for X I can get to after. Is anyone reading an X?


message 38: by Haley (new)

Haley (haleymadd) | 2086 comments I don't have any books with X on my radar, I'd say go for it Jill if you're able to!

message 43: by Haley (new)

Haley (haleymadd) | 2086 comments finished a few books, but going to spend time doing reviews and posting after I work :)


message 44: by Jill (new)

Jill | 3313 comments I’m 63% ino song of Achilles. Apologies for the slow reading, I’m really not into this book. Hopefully I can finish today and catch up


message 45: by Jill (new)

Jill | 3313 comments finished and posted my review. Looks like were working on the word bogeyman now

Haley (haleymadd) | 2086 comments Jill wrote: "I’m 63% ino song of Achilles. Apologies for the slow reading, I’m really not into this book. Hopefully I can finish today and catch up"

what'd you think about Song of Achilles? I've heard good things about it, but tend to stray away from greek retellings.


message 47: by Melanie (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 13891 comments I have a couple books marked on the spreadsheet, which I should have posted in the next day or so, but if someone finishes sooner - please feel free (as always) to switch my book to round two. 😊 We are almost done with round one! 😁

I didn't really enjoy it. kinda slow and boring


message 49: by Jill (new)

Jill | 3313 comments I'm 40% into Blood Sugar by Sascha Rothchild then I think I'll do How I'll Kill You by Ren DeStefano and then I'll do my BR of A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #2) by Sarah J. Maas which should get us a good chunk of points


message 50: by Haley (new)

Haley (haleymadd) | 2086 comments @Jill I've heard that from a couple of people, I'm sorry it dragged on for you. It's annoying when you're reading a book and it feels like it takes forever to end....


My gameplan for the next few days: working on Identity by Nora Roberts and Starling House by Alix E. Harrow , then moving onto BR How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix .
