Coffee & Books discussion

Roses are red, violets are blue.
I am writing this from me, to you.
What you must see,
is what it must be,
as it is already in front of you and me.

Let the guessing begin!

Flowers in the title?

Petra wrote: "Flowers in the title?"

Nope! They are not in the title! :) Good guess though!

amber wrote: "Let the guessing begin!"

Exactly :-) It might be hard but maybe another hint will be released! Later, of course.

I have an idea...does it have to do with the cover??

Kristie wrote: "I have an idea...does it have to do with the cover??"

Nope! :) Good guess though!!

A book about coffee?

Noooope! :)

Poetry?

Nope! These are all really good guesses!

An epistolary novel?

A book set in Limerick? (After your rhyming style)

Nope to both! Think more of the last two lines.

Computers?

Anything with mirrors?

something set in the future?

It has to do with computers in some way ;-)

Alissa & Dewlanna you guys aren't necessarily wrong...

Hahaha I am sorry I am being super vague!

May want to combine my message 1 and the replies on 4 and 18.

Also, this will be a combo type of challenge. Not necessarily a "You pick" one of the categories, but a bit of that and a bit of the other types of challenges I really.... really... like. :3

so.... a futuristic half mirror/ half computer with flowers challenge ??? lol

Lmaooo
Emojis need to work on goodreads
I would have used the tears of laughter face

LOL
Maybe it will be all of that while standing on our heads! ;)

Does it involve the internet? Book clubs? Online book groups?!

Lisa is getting warmer ;-)

So computer and book club... Generate a random number on the computer and pick the book whose number it is off a friend list ?

Don't know where the mirror and flower would fit in tough! Except if you did add a photographic twist where you also have to take a photo of yourself with the book and flower in your hair :p

That is a really good idea, that might be a good one for the future!

But, no :P

I like that idea Dewlanna... Shelf that Rachel!!

Alissa wrote: "I like that idea Dewlanna... Shelf that Rachel!!"

Added to the suggestions :)

*Dewlanna scratches her head
Well, if I don't come up with the answer, at least I come up with suggestions. That's good, because I doubt I will solve your riddle :p

Well another guess....
An online friendship/romance ? Or with a machine (cyborg or android) ?

You're going to pick one book & we're all gonna read it & discuss it?

Nope both great guesses!

The hint will be released by the end of the weekend!

Fan girl?

Ebooks?

You have guessed, and guessed, and guessed.
And now it is time for the big reveal.

The August Challenge is









The Mix Matched Post.


For August 2014, it is your job to sift through the past 2014 challenges that are as follows:




Look at the posts, check out the books that are in there and read them. You then have two options:

A) Did you personally complete the challenge? If you didn't now is your chance to go back and complete the books you didn't get to.

B) If you have completed them all or didn't participate, or just want to choose this option, you may look at the posts and sift through them deciding what books to read for this challenge.

The rules are as follows.

1.You may only pick ONE book from each past challenge. It cannot be covering multiple challenges.
2. It cannot be form your own posting in that particular challenge.
3. July is not included in this challenge. You may not pick a book form that post.


Here are the past challenges:

January: Biographies- Well they are the bios and autobios the members picked!

February: Sequel Smequel- Books from lists that are WITHOUT sequels

March: You and Me Challenge- Books from the lists that are off other members TBR shelves

April: Spring Cleaning- Books from lists that are either off a real shelf or a computerized one that members were trying to "clean off"

May: Bad to the Bone- Books from lists that are banned books

June: Singular- Books from lists that are singular in the title


I have attached links to all the above challenges, just click on the months and it will take you directly there! Otherwise, navigate through the folders and find the "Old Challenges" where they are all housed as well.


Have fun! :)

I am in :)


January: Biographies- The Diving Bell and the Butterfly: A Memoir of Life in Death

February: Sequel Smequel- Gone Girl

March: You and Me Challenge- Life After Life

April: Spring Cleaning- The Night Circus

May: Bad to the Bone- The Perks of Being a Wallflower

June: Singular- Panic

I'll try. I have to pick my books later.

I'll choose option B and try to read a book from each challenge.

I'll do option B since I only participated in June's challenge.
Will post in the August challenge link when you post it.

Sorry, I'm not sure I did understand correctly (too dead tired today), so just to clarify, do we
- basically do the challenges as they were posted choosing any book we wish
- or choose a book someone read for one of these challenges ?
Thx!

LOL I just asked the same question in an email. I thought it was because I haven't had enough coffee yet.

I had the same question! :-)

Option B: 4/6

Came two books shy of my goal, but my overall tally for the month was 12, so I feel pretty accomplished. :)

January: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby
February: The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
March:Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
April: Lucky by Alice Sebold
May: 1984 by George Orwell
June: Stardust by Neil Gaiman

You choose the books from the list :)

So when you open whatever challenge, you must choose a book that was already posted about by someone other than yourself :)

I want to try this...I'll have to check back in later and look at the lists. :)

Do we post our list here or will there be a new post?
