SA Book & Challenge Lovers discussion

I think so. I also thinks she wears the exact same skirt/top combo in 1, 2 and 3 just photoshopped different colors. And it looks like a seperate skirt to me :)

Anyone else agree?

^Yes.

Then it's a go

Great, looks interesting!

Finished 218 - Containing, pertaining to or involving Egyptian myth



I choose nr 17 next

17 - Some form of Fire on the cover

OK, I finished my first task for sure this time:

#11 Something on the cover that you have a phobia of - Heights.
___

Will this book work as Historical Romance?

It's set in the 15th century and there's definitely a romantic interest, but it has a fantasy element.
Or do I need to pick something without any other genre mixed in, i.e. purely romance (historical), with no fantasy, steampunk, sf or otherwise?

Mmm ok well it has been shelved as Historical Romance. When I look at the reviews I see:

"Do you love historical mysteries? Court intrigue? Romance? Very light fantasy?"

"I don't know, for a book that received so many starred reviews it is oddly superficial and immature. Maybe too much of a romance?"

"sizzling yet forbidden romance"

So definitley Romance.

"I love a good historical novel and this one qualifies as just that. It's a time period I'm not familiar with and a historical character I didn't know, Anne of Brittany"

And definitley a Historical

SO I say Hell yea :)

Thanks Lu ;)

Awesome! :)

Hey guys!!!
I'm back :)... So I chose 12 like Lu said.
So I do believe I'll choose JK Rowling who happens to be a Leo too!!!!

Heheh nice choice! And she happens to be a Hufflepuff as well :)

Really??? Awesome!!!!!

Lol, Potter geeks.

Lol yea she took the Pottermore test

Woooo hooo... so that means both JK and I are Leo's and Huffies :) That's really awesome.
Oh and Harry of course is a Leo too you know :)

Lu wrote: "You could always read :)"

Thanks Lu, was thinking of either

The Road

or

Sh*t My Dad Says

will decide tomorrow

I found The Road good but very, very depressing! Just a warning.

I'm off soon guys, so any number request in the next 15 mins?

I finished my second task - #2 Historical Romance
Grave Mercy

Fingers crossed, I choose #25 when you get back.

Thanks Lauren, still not sure which one to read yet, not bothered about it being depressing aslong as its a good read though. The halpern book is a funny read about a father and son, so depends what mood im in.

25 - Read a book that has a mirror on the cover

Oh ****.

I'll see what I can find for you :)

I have have this book, but I don't think I'll like it:
Dark Mirror
And
The Likeness is this a mirror or an empty frame?

Yes, some help with suggestions would be great. :)

Dark Mirror will work and these covers of The Likeness:

or

And I went through your whole to-read list and found this:

Thanks Lu. I will read Willow! I overlooked that one.

No problem was fun looking :)

Decided on reading the Road B Cormac MCarthy, enjoying it but I know what Lauren means now. Should finish this book by tomorrow.

Could I have 351 please Lu

351 - Read the book that has been on your tbr list the longest.

Just to be devil's advocate.
Shouldn't Emma have finished the book before asking for a new number? Because as I understand it now she hasn't yet finished it.

Maybe she can't log for awhile and was just getting it now?

That might be, but she didn't say anything about that. Also in the rules it says you have to finish one task first and then ask for another number.
And if it is a task where you really have to look for a book it gives you an unfair advantage because you already have time to look for a book.
Like I said just I am just being devil's advocate here, but I do like everything to go fair. There are a few fast readers amongst us (me included) who can really take advantage if we can ask for numbers before completing the previous task. Where as people who read a bit slower will be able to profit as much.
What I really like about this challenge is that you have to look for a book before you can read it and that can slow the faster readers and make it more fair for everyone.
But in the end you are the boss so if you don't mind I won't mind.

I do agree with you :)

From now on everyone should finish a book first before asking another number.

But if I'm going away for the day or so I will say so the ones that will finish their book in that time can ask a number before I go.

Sound fair?

Absolutely!

And really I don't want to be mean or anything. I really just want it to be fair for everyone :)

No problem :)

I agree, if you are a chapter from finishing that's another story but other then that I think the rule should stand.
