Hangman Buddy Challenge

This will be a two-week challenge, running from July 15-29.

Here's how it works:

~ Sign up and you will be assigned with a partner.
~ Each team of 2 people creates their own team name, set-up their own thread and then gets a set of blanks for a title and author from the moderator.
ex. _ _ _ * _ _ _ _ * _ _ _ _ _ by _ _ _ _ _ * _ _ _ _ _ _ (The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa)
~ You can only guess one letter per read book. Each guess would be the first letter in any word in the book title and author's name you've read. For example, if you’ve read Just One Day by Gayle Forman, your letter guess can be J, O, D, G, or F.
~ If it’s a buddy read, you’ll get an extra guess which can be any letter that you want.
~ Each team will have different books to guess. We have a list of books which is numbered, each team will pick a number and the corresponding book to that number will be their book to guess.
~ Each team can guess the book by the number of books they've read. If a team read three books, they can give three guesses to the book.
~ As soon as you guess the title and author, then the moderator will assign your team a new title and author to guess.

Point system:
--> 1 point for every book read
--> 1 bonus point for every buddy read
--> 10 points for every title/author guessed
--> 10 points go to the Mega Challenge for participating this challenge.

Prize
~ 1 ebook will be awarded to the team that will get the most points.

Rules: No rereads, graphic novels, only one book per person allowed that is fewer than 100 pages (pages must be shown on Goodreads or Amazon), and all books must be started, finished, and reviewed during the challenge period.

Please format your entries like this:

Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices, #2) by Cassandra Clare
Read: July 15-16
Review: Link of the review
Buddy: Yes or No
Letter Guess: C
Bonus Letter Guess (if a buddy read): E


*******************
This is only the sign up thread! Sign up will start today and ends on Saturday, 11PM, GR time.
I will announce the team on Sunday so you'll have enough time to think of your team names.

Please leave a comment if you're in!

If you have questions, please let us know! :)
