Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Hello everyone! We have decided to have another contest alongside with Guessing the Title! contest.


Duration: November 1 - December 31

Rules:
- This is similar to the scavenger hunt we are having now in the group
- The participants are required to find all food and drinks from the books they read and finish within the contest period.
e.g.: carrots, apple, tea, beer, spaghetti... anything edible or drinkable! (but not live animals XD)
- You have to finish the book to get points for the food and drinks you have found. A review for the book is not required, but you need to provide the rating. Please see how we do it in the Scavenger Hunt thread
- Extract a sentence where the food/drink can be found in the book (also put the page or chapter number)
- The book that does not follow the requirement shall not get points
- You cannot get point for the same food and drinks. So food or drinks can earn point if only it is mentioned for the first time
- The winner will be awarded with 3 ebooks of their choice (for the list provided)
- The mods cannot win the prizes, but they can join

Sample

Finish on: (date)
Rating: (1-5)

I'll join! Are you going to give us a list of food to find or are we just looking for as many food items as we can?

Hello Jalyn! Great that you're joining! No, you are just looking for as many food items as you can while reading! :D

I checked it out...looks like fun! :D

*Edit* I moved my message to record food/drinks down under Gisbelle :)

I hope we will have fun with this one :) It's not all about prizes actually :D The most important part is the journey :)

Sounds fun - I would like to play :)
I will try not to get so involved in my book that I forget about the challenge. hahaha.

Lol I was thinking the same thing :)

Vicki wrote: "Where is the FOOD one?? I get so lost in this group! LOL"

Is it a compliment? XD

This challenge is easy so I hope everyone is going to have a lot of fun :)

Ooh... And don't cheat by reading cookbooks XD

Hahaha, but books about cooking? I need to read one for the crazy mall challenge!

Those are ok, Deepika :)

And suppose if I find cake in one book and again cake in the next book.. will the 2nd one be counted?

I'm In! :>

Deepika wrote: "And suppose if I find cake in one book and again cake in the next book.. will the 2nd one be counted?"

Deepika- No, the second one will not count. Only once per food or drink :D

Deepika wrote: "And suppose if I find cake in one book and again cake in the next book.. will the 2nd one be counted?"

Yes, like J said. But if they mention different type of cake is ok. e.g. Chocolate cake, cheese cake...

Guys, you should have one message just to record all food and drinks you have found. And new post message for each book you have finish. Refer back to scavenger hunt http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1....

So that it would be easy to see if your item found is a new one or you have found that one already previously.
