When Im doing multiple challenges, I try and read a book that goes to both challenges. If i were doing this challenge and the rainbow challenge for example: if the genre is dystopian I would read Insurgent & the cover is green for the rainbow challenge.

1 book, 2 challenges

So Emerald Green didn't really work out because it was due back at the library before I finished it, soooo I think I'm gonna re-read The Time Paradox and maybe Found, although I doubt I'll actually have time to read both in the next seven days along with the other books I want to read :P



message 22: by Nidhi (new)

UPDATE-
Genre for September is...... (drum roll)
BLOCKBUSTER BOOKS

IMPORTANT!
The movie doesn't have to be out right now. As long as it has been turned into a movie, is in production, or still in the script process.

I almost requested that one! I saw that one of my other groups might read it as a book of the month for next month though, so decided against it.


message 31: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 42 comments It was alright. I really enjoyed certain aspects of the book and really didn't enjoy others lol

I think it will be a good movie tho.


message 32: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (aconight) That's awesome. I was thinking for October I give you guys a couple options, three days to vote and the one with the most votes will be the subject for October.
