Challenge Corner discussion

That sounds good to me. I’m good to start whenever!

Cool. I'll request a thread starting May 8...

Sounds great :D

Thanks, Claire!

I’ll ask Alaina for a book recommendation for the second hunt. I doubt I will finish it before yours for the first hunt, Jenny.

Sounds good!

Reading my second hunt books right now.

Great! I should be done with my Round 1 books by next week. Then we can have a book review dump when I'm done.

Again if someone else ends up reading a book for any of the Round 1 tasks I haven't yet marked as CR go ahead and move mine to Round 2 and put yours in my place. I'm fine with that.

I just finished The Hate U Give. I’m gonna upload my review either tonight or tomorrow. Is there a specific category I should put it under? Or I could wait to upload my review and put it under the 2nd? If that makes sense.

Does it have "May" in text? If so, you can take my spot for that in Round 1 and upload your review and other info in the review thread. If not, then pick any category that works and put it in Round 2, and then don't post your review in the review thread until we're done with Round 1.

Caroline, looks like you need to post your review of the Plato book still in the review thread. That one is still open per the Mod's status.

Vicki, did you post your book for author has the same middle name as you?

Also your book for tagged "sports" doesn't seem to be posted in the review thread.

Caroline, are you reading ? Want to BR?

Jenny, yes I did this morning.

Okay - maybe Felicia hasn't updated since then. I'll keep an eye on the recap.

Yes, I just started that. I would love to BR! Thanks for checking!

I did post my review of the Plato book. I’ll add a reminder in the thread.

Cool. I'll ask for a thread on the book starting today. I probably won't start until early next week but I'm a quick reader :)

Hey ya'll. I'm bored so I thought I would pop by. :)

Hi Book. I'm getting ready to go to bed. How's Ruby?

Good. She's starting to learn some puppy manners. :)

Jenny, I checked and what I did is put it on the SS but totally forgot to put it on the thread, so I did that just now.

Sorry about that!

Caroline, and anyone else that wants to join us, here's the thread for the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo book

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Another slight change to the rules because Jennifer is the master at finding loops holes. Lmfao.

I am now accepting any cover off this list to be counted as "art on cover" category. :D

Does it have to be the Month May or could it be something like this: I may be able to go to the party. Or does maybe (as one word) work?

I'm just going to post it and then if there's an issue, I can figure something else out.

I also have a book with May as in the season, but the word is in dutch. So let me know if we still need one.

Maya, I asked about your book in the Q&A thread. If "Maybe" doesn't work, you can put your book on Hunt #2 under "read a book a member of your team has read" - I read The Hate U Give last year, and I am currently reading a book with "May" in the text that we can use for Hunt #1.

We should know soon if your book works where it is.

Jenny, i am about to finish a book with 4/5/6 in publication date. Do you want me to add it or do I put it for round 2?

Go ahead and add it Claire and move my book to round 2.'

Updaate: I moved my book so you can add yours in Claire for round 1

Maya, your book for "May" didn't work so I moved it to Round 2 Read a book one of your teammates has already read (I read The Hate U Give last year). When we're done with Round 2 you'll need to post your book again.

Do we start reviewing books that we posted in the 2nd hunt?

You can review them, but you can't post them in the review thread until we are done with Round 1. I'm working to finish my last Round 1 books this week so we should be able to start posting Round 2 books next week.

Jenny, I’m trying to see if I can help with reading, but not sure which ones are still needed. If you need help, let me know please.

I haven't started any of these if you have something that works:

Message Andrea and ask for a book to read (ask for a certain genre and if you want YA/NA/ADULT)
Author has the same first name as you
Published from the year you were born

I will read the name and the birth year. After that we can see how far you are

Great! Thanks Claire!

Vicki, looks like your book "tagged sports" Gold Medal Summer was never posted in our review thread. If you read it do you want to post for it?

Ok I finished and added more to the second hunt. Thank you for taking difficult tasks:-) I did want to ask for a tip, but I’ll probably go nuts then trying to find it...

I should be done with the recommendations by this weekend.

I'm so sorry and I'm not sure how I missed adding it. I think at times I add books to the SS and then forget that there's a review thread too. I'm adding it now. Thanks, Jenny.

So are we still working on the first SS of tasks? If we post books to the 2nd one, are we waiting to add them to the review thread until the 1st is done? And are there any on the first one that we need done that others aren't doing?

Yes we are still finishing up the first hunt. I have to read two books still

Message Alaina and ask for a book to read (ask for a certain genre and if you want YA/NA/ADULT ) - A Curse So Dark and Lonely
Message Andrea and ask for a book to read (ask for a certain genre and if you want YA/NA/ADULT) - Vicious

Caroline is also reading a book recommended by Alaina so it's a race to the finish for that one to see who posts for Hunt #1 or Hunt #2. I don't think anyone else has asked Andrea (or Felicia) for a recommendation which we will need to complete Hunt #2 so if you feel like jumping in, we can have another race if you ask Andrea.

I plan to be done with both my final Hunt #1 books by next week as I am also using them for other time-sensitive challenges. But I am also in the middle of packing so I'm trying to do a lot of audiobooks right now and I only have hard copy or kindle versions of those two books.

Sorry I’ve been MIA these past few weeks. It’s been a busy month lol. And thanks for checking on the “May” thing Jenny. And I’ll definitely repost it for the Hunt 2. I’ve also finished 2 books that I’ll be doing reviews for, but will wait for the Hunt 2.

Jenny, I just finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, so I will move your recommendation from Alaina to the second hunt.

Claire, your name was on the SS for “MC’s name starts with A” in the second hunt, but with no book there. So I added a book I am reading and changed the name. But if you are reading a book for that category, let me know and I can find a new one.

Great!

I removed Norse Mythology from the odd month category since there has been an adjustment on the release date, so it's no longer an odd month. 2 books banked, no category put with them.

Hi! Completely forget to message about this earlier but I've managed to get recs from all the admins and will be working through them over the next week, happy to put them into whichever hunt it's needed in :)

What books are they? I can try to find a category for them.

Awesome! If you can read the one you got from Andrea first that's the only one we're missing. I'm getting ready to move this weekend so RL is kind of hectic for me right now.

@Damselflies, I put your Norse Mythology book under Hunt #2 - UK Author - Neil Gaiman was born in the UK.

What is your other book? Is it

Bygone Badass Broads: 52 Forgotten Women Who Changed the World by Mackenzi Lee

Update: This book fits Tagged ‘humor’ on first page of tags in Hunt #2. I put your book there.

Do you have any other books you need to find a place for?

Of course! Managed to get Andrea's rec almost instantly so will get to that first. Good luck with the move :)
