OCTOBERFEST




This challenge will be similar to the MMC. This will be a month long challenge with a number of different parts.

Rules
~Anybody can join.
~All books have to be started and finished between October 1st-31st.
~Only 1 re-read is allowed (with the exception of the GBR. If you want to re-read the GBR then you can also re-read another book).
~You can join 1 or all parts of this challenge, but remember, the more parts you join, the better your chances of winning!
~You can't log in a book until you've read and reviewed it. This helps keep things clear for us.
~You can't win more than one of the individual challenges, but you can win an individual challenge and still be eligible to win the Octoberfest Challenge. For example, if one person has the most points for Cover Pieces then they can't win Hangman Buddies (they can still participate to earn points, but they can't win). However, they can still win the Octoberfest challenge.


PART 1: Spell Spooky Words
For this part of the challenge you have to spell out any Halloween related word with the books you are reading. You get to pick whatever Halloween word that you would like, which means that you get to pick the length of this challenge!

Sounds great. I'm in.

How do we add the links to our reviews? This is going to be the first challenge I'm going to be doing that requires it.

I've a question- can we read the same book for more than one challenge?
For eg; I'm taking part in the creatures as well as spooky words challenge, So can I read for both book with a werewolf for the creatures challenge as well as for the letter H in the spooky words challenge?

Yes, that's fine ☺

When you've written your review and got it up on goodreads. go to the book's goodreads page, and scroll down to where it says 'my review' - below the cover.
click on 'my review' and it will load your review on it's own page - like this



if you then copy the html in the bar at the top where the web address is - http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/... this will link to your review. paste this code in where you want your link to be ☺

Sooo excited for the Hangman Buddy Challenge!

Me too! It was so much fun last time! :)

I read so many books during that challenge! it was mad.

Mods, can I use for cover with a devil for Creepy Covers Challenge? I know that it's a ghost on the cover and Alone the ghost is a kind and funny ghost but I just want to make sure :D

This one doesn't work as a devil. Sorry!

That's okay, Jalyn. I will look for for another books but I might be ask you again later :)

Rachmi wrote: "That's okay, Jalyn. I will look for for another books but I might be ask you again later :)"

That's fine. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you! I just went back to work this week and I've been working long hours :)

I don't mind as long as you answer it :) I've put the book for Creature challenge, though. So I still got it for one challenge :)

You just went back to work? no wonder I hardly see you here :)

I did :) I just started last Tuesday. I'm working at a bookstore, but since it's new, we are setting the whole store up. I'll be back on here more in November when I go to the evening shifts :)

Just a little nudge guys - please add any books/reviews to the creepy covers and spell spooky words threads As Soon As Possible, if you haven't already done so. Greta and I will be starting counting very soon so that we can get the results to you as early as possible tomorrow.

Thanks and May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favour ☺

Oh, and keep an eye out for our November challenges! The first one will starting tomorrow ☺ It's a surprise ☺

Not yet. The first one will be up tomorrow ☺

I'm curious now!

Good luck everyone! :)

Here goes!

Thank you mods for creating such a great challenge. I really had fun and it helps my GR 2013 reading challenge :)

How far are you off your goal Rachmi?

Good luck! :)

That's pretty good! You should get those done within the year ☺

Thanks Abbie

@ Sarah: since I'm a slow reader, I never finish GR reading challenge before December :) But this year is quite different. Mostly it's because June mega challenge and Octoberfest, I read more books on those months :)

Congrats to the winners!

There are some reading machines out there, for sure!

There are just too many books to read..... Every day I end up coming across more and more books that I want to read, and I still can't read fast enough to keep up with how many books i want to read!
