Greta (goodreadsgreta) | 4545 comments Hi Everyone!

Since we thought it would be fun to have at least one non-reading challenge this holiday season, we are going to try something I've seen in other groups :) This will be a two week challenge running from 12/11-12/24

This is how it works:
Every morning (around 8 a.m. EST) I will begin by placing blanks for each letter in the title and the author's name. For example, if I am attempting to have you guess Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare it would look like this:

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ * _ _ _ _ _

by

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ * _ _ _ _ _

Each participant can guess one letter dailyI will update the letters throughout the day, probably up until around 10 pm EST.

After that, you can private message me (Greta)with up to two guesses
The next day we will give one point to anyone who guessed correctly, and set the next title and author.
If no one guesses correctly, we will either have a second round where you can again guess one letter, or I will set an entirely new title and author to be guessed.
This will depend on the number of participants. :)

In the event of a tie, we will put the winner's names in a random list generator to pick the winner.


Please respond to this post if you are in on this challenge.
Our winner will receive one ebook of their choice from the list below.
