The Challenge Factory discussion

Sounds good! Did you fill out the camper registration form?

Yes I did. Two actually bc the first one I only put my first name but didn't know how to fix it. So I made a second one;)

Perfect!! ;)

So, I shouldn't start it? Cuz I could start a different book first.... let me know.

I want to start this one but am finding out if I need to wait to start after Bingo is called at 1...

When is 1 ? its 1.30 so it's about 8am there is it?

Yes! Lol! Bits nearly 8:30 am here at the moment... Am wondering what time zone they are using?

Ok, I'm in for this buddy read... The blurb totally piqued my interest.

YAY! It's a party! Getting ready to post on CTF and then starting.. Woo-Hoo!

haha all we need to do is get ST reading it and we have the whole Bingo team !!

No doubt!!! Too bad she's off in Colorado enjoying nature.. :)

Heather - Did you start it yet?

Stacey - Any cabin news yet??? :D

Im starting tonight!! I just read Mud Vein and hated it but LOVED all the Live Me With Lies books...so I'm excited to see how Marrow goes.

Im thinking of putting it in the white cover task (ctf). Some may think its gray. What do you think?

For Bingo we needed a white book and I'm using this one... :)

I liked Mud Vein but I can also understand how folks would NOT like it... It's an odd book for sure, right? Did not seem to follow the standard book formula. LOL!

We are using it for a similar task in Bingo. I would say its more white than grey, more off white.

Kristin.. snap!!,

Hooked after chapter one...
Sad lives - Margo & her moms...

Thanks, ladies!! White it is.

You got your bingo info? I've been waiting but I'm still not seeing anything. :(

LOL Emma!

I'm sure this one has got something to do with Mud Vein, it says you don't have to read them together but they have got something to do with each other, not sure if it's the characters or something?

They have posted the Category - S'Mores - but the bingo sheets aren't up yet.

So now we're missing Stacey?
Yoooo Hoooooo!

I didn't even see that V - good to know!

S'Mores is only for the regular games though, the speedy game is something els i think.

So Margo has gone from 13 to 18 years old and (view spoiler)[ her 'mom' is still wearing the same red robe?? (hide spoiler)]

Page 26 (view spoiler)[ sweaty boob money!! Gross! (hide spoiler)]

woah check you out straight in lol

I'll try and catch up tomorrow it's past midnight so I'll start on Sempre too.

Happy reading !!

Such a good book too!!
I came home from work and had a glass of wine and took my book out on the deck. Got some real reading time in while hubby cooked dinner. I felt spoiled!

Good night V - sleep well!

So I'm definitely sleeping now, just had to check to make sure I had the book, and then I read the 1st page.........and then finished the chapter haha.

Not sure (view spoiler)[ I like the sound of this house, is it a halfway house do you think? Her mom sounds a bit weird too! (hide spoiler)]

Anyway .....sleeping !!

So far I am totally absorbed in the book, I just finished chapter 4. How desperately sad Margo's life is. (view spoiler)[I found her generosity at buying that lady the shoes she tried to steal just heartbreaking, it's amazing she has that level of empathy given she doesn't seem to have been shown much by her mum. (hide spoiler)] I can't wait to see where the story goes.

Hi all. I'm still out driving kids and will update later. Poor Margo. Really rough life! No news about cabins but inundated with notifications! I can't make sense of them. Would have loved to join bingo but it's closed:(. I'm a little overwhelmed. Maybe if I look on my computer and not the mobile I can see it all easier...????

Ya, (view spoiler)[ her mom is a total nut case who had not one mothering instinct in her body... I think I kind of hate her. Course, you hear how she was treated by HER mom and I guess she's better than that... But not by much.

The house sounds disgusting but I guess it was inherited when Margo's grandmother died... Pretty run down.. Barely inhabitable from the description.

Run Margo, run - get the hell out of Bone girl!!

Yeah AMMP is a little overwhelming to start - it was even worse when it was Hogwarts. I still only look at the site through the prism of my cabin. Our cabin leader announces and links any new challenges, so I only view them that way, otherwise it is too much. looking at the site on a computer would probably be easier than a mobile though

I need a cabin! How to get one?

Emma - I was (view spoiler)[ moved by Margo's generosity towards the lady who was arrested too and wondered how she became that way. It's certainly not in her DNA or environment from her mama's side. I've gotten addicted to the story too...

I'm thinking if she can get shoes for $6, she might want to cut back on the honey buns & Dew and get some for herself now.. (hide spoiler)]

I'm just starting Chapter 7.

I found the cabin assignments thread and checked it for you but didn't see any cabin assignments since July 6. I think they try to divvy up new campers in a way to keep all cabins fairly even so they may wait until they have enough to dole out.

I bet it's close to time to assign more newbies ;)

I agree - it might be easier through your computer. I think there is a thread under summer camp that lists and includes a link to each of the challenges. There's a massacre one that sounded interesting and sign ups might be closing soon.

End of chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ SOBS!! (hide spoiler)]

Yes she does seem to start out as a very sweet, empathetic kid so far...

I will go through on my laptop and try to make sense of it. I'm a person that doesn't like to have any notifications on my phone at all! OCD thing! And every time I clear them, there's 20 more there! My daughter was like,"Mom, Goodreads is blowing up your phone!" Yikes!

hmmm....

Emma - I was ..."

That's a good point! Her mother is awful! I'm trying to be empathetic to her own terrible upbringing but it's just not happening. She is simply a woman who should never have had a child...

You are speeding right through Stacey!

I am laughing about the notifications thing - my husband is just like you. He hates having unread messages in his inbox - while I have exactly 130 unread at the moment.. as I just checked! lol! My phone drives him crazy...

:D

No! (Gasping!) Can't have it!!
Well, I was sick this week so got in some good reading;). Better now and back to being the chauffeur! ...And the notifications keep flashing as I'm typing this!!!

Hopefully one will say Welcome to Cabin 3! :)

I think we just got a newbie to Cabin 1, so they must be starting to divvy up the new starters into cabins.
