message 2: by ~ Giulia ~ (new)

~ Giulia ~ Yay! A team member :D

I started His Majesty's Dragon (Temeraire, #1) by Naomi Novik so far it has: dragons, military, alt history, Napoleonic era


Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) I was just added. ^-^ I shall see what I can read to fit your book. :)


message 4: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (last edited May 15, 2016 12:36PM) (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) Since graphic novels/manga count and some of the manga I read yesterday would work with your book. I have these to submit.

Red River, Vol. 6 (Red River, #6) by Chie Shinohara - Red River, Vol. 9 (Red River, #9) by Chie Shinohara

They have: Time Travel, Set in the Past, War/Military and probably a few others.


message 5: by ~ Giulia ~ (new)

~ Giulia ~ Good :)


Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) I'm also going to be reading mostly books under 100 pages and manga for the first half of the challenge. I will then switch to longer books for the second half in June. :)


message 7: by ~ Giulia ~ (new)

~ Giulia ~ OK :) Let me know so I'll see if I have something to match with them


message 8: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (last edited May 15, 2016 02:26PM) (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) So far I'm reading from this shelf: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

They are all under 100 pages so they would only count in the 'pairs'.

I'm also reading some Nonfiction. Japanese From Zero! 1 Proven Methods to Learn Japanese with integrated Workbook and Online Support by George Trombley Korean From Zero! 1 Proven Methods to Learn Korean with integrated Workbook, MP3 Audio download, and Online Support by George Trombley

The two manga I'm mostly focusing on are Skip Beat!, Vol. 01 by Yoshiki Nakamura and Red River, Vol. 1 (Red River, #1) by Chie Shinohara

Skip Beat would count for: Revenge, Showbiz, Jilted Lover(?), Foster Child.


message 9: by ~ Giulia ~ (new)

~ Giulia ~ I'll see what I can do with those :)

As I've recently finished Fire Study, do you want to buddy read Power Study?

Sure! I don't know how to go about setting up a thread in this group yet though. Are you able to?


message 11: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) Do you also want to BR Ice Study?


message 12: by ~ Giulia ~ (new)

~ Giulia ~ I'll try to post on the "request thread" thread :)

I'm not sure on Ice Study, it seems that the Glass trilogy comes first chronologically, so could there be spoilers?

From the description it doesn't seem to be. But since I have read all of Snyder's Study and Glass series I could read it first and let you know. ^-^


message 14: by ~ Giulia ~ (new)

~ Giulia ~ OK :) so I'll only ask for the Power Study thread for now


message 15: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

KK. TY. :)


message 16: by ~ Giulia ~ (new)

~ Giulia ~ https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Madelyn was super fast! :D


message 17: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) So I can start both of the novella's today since I don't have anything planned. Are you planning to read them before or after His Majesty's Dragon (Temeraire, #1) by Naomi Novik


message 18: by ~ Giulia ~ (new)

~ Giulia ~ They're so short I can read them alongside the other book :)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) ~ Giulia ~ wrote: "They're so short I can read them alongside the other book :)"

KK. Have you read Assassin Study yet? If not we could use Assassin Study (Study, #1.5) by Maria V. Snyder Power Study (Study, #3.5) by Maria V. Snyder Ice Study (Study, #3.6) by Maria V. Snyder as one pair and I can use my Power Study for another pair. Maybe even with Night Study (Soulfinders, #2) by Maria V. Snyder since I've been meaning to read it. It would work for 'multiple POVs'.


message 20: by ~ Giulia ~ (new)

~ Giulia ~ Good idea! Let's do that!
I think we can still start from Power Study

I wasn't sure if we could both put Power Study in one pair so I asked Madelyn on the main thread. If we can then we can do Power Study (Study, #3.5) by Maria V. Snyder Power Study (Study, #3.5) by Maria V. Snyder Ice Study (Study, #3.6) by Maria V. Snyder

*Madelyn said we can use the same two books so we can do the above. I was thinking we could use it as 'books written by Maria V. Snyder'.


message 22: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) I just found out you do not HAVE to have a book from your partner in your 'pairs' so I going to go post the first pair with my three books I read yesterday. Red River, Vol. 1 (Red River, #1) by Chie Shinohara 6-9. Then I'm going to start reading Power Study and Ice Study. ^-^


message 23: by ~ Giulia ~ (new)

~ Giulia ~ That's good to know ^_^


message 24: by Anna 'Bookbuyer' (new)

Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) ~ Giulia ~ wrote: "That's good to know ^_^"

I was happy to see that. It is fun to try to work together and get pairs though. :)


message 25: by ~ Giulia ~ (new)

~ Giulia ~ It's fun to find things in common between seemingly unrelated books :)
Going to bed now ^_^

I'm a bit behind. I got distracted yesterday. I'm going to finish both Power Study and Ice Study today and post my reviews for Red River. >.<


message 29: by ~ Giulia ~ (new)

~ Giulia ~ No problem :)


message 30: by ~ Giulia ~ (new)

~ Giulia ~ I'm pretty much done with His Majesty's Dragon (Temeraire, #1) by Naomi Novik , tomorrow I'll write the review.
