Middle Grade Madness! discussion

i'm not either. and i doubt anyone else is

Hey Team Logan Sweet!

PLEASE VOTE: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1...

I didn't either, wtf... I haven't seen the other team's spreadsheet because I thought it wouldn't be fair and I don't really care what they're reading.

I only care for us to read as much as we can and that's it.

Yeah, same. I've looked at it, but only to see who was their MVP was. That's it, I didn't even look at the books

No worries, guys! I’m sure we can all agree to move past whatever issues there are and get back to reading great books, talking to lovely people and enjoying the challenge!

I’m working on 2 more categories! Should be some interesting tasks coming up... can’t wait!

I can't wait for that either! <3

Also, I've made great friends already, including you also, Kadi >:D<.

😊😊❤️you guys are awesome!

update on the spreadsheet:
unfortunately Bliss does not work for task 8: a book with chocolate / sweets on the cover. kadi said that cakes and such don't fall into that category.

so! we'll just need to quickly replace that. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was another book we had as an option for this task. I've got that and can quickly get through that unless someone is opposed / has another option they want to read?

I don't. You can read it.

And Zaiyah can use Bliss for something else.

sounds good

Okay.

Wait, Jessica. Wasn't what Kadi said for the baking scene?

I remember that Kadi said that for the task "a baking scene in a book" it was specifically for baking (cakes, etc). and not for candy- making.

We should better search this in the conversation before changing anything.

No, she said it was task 8, with the sweets on the cover

Ohh

Hey guys, so the spreadsheet has this whole chat in the date finished column? And it looks like it messed up the points for category 2 👀

I fixed it and it seems good, but if there's anything missing add it on

Looks good!

Thank you for solving it guys!

so chocolate icing does not count as chocolate. it has to explicitly be a chocolate bar or sweets / candy.

I can read for that task

Sounds good!

unfortunately macarons do not count as sweets either

This ?

What about ?

i've asked about the candy pop crush and i'll let you know what she says, but if that doesn't work then the cherry crush should definitely work because those are chocolates.

jessica wrote: "i've asked about the candy pop crush and i'll let you know what she says, but if that doesn't work then the cherry crush should definitely work because those are chocolates."


And I have the physical copy of it and already read it once last year but I wanted to re-read it anyway because I want to continue with the series.

that'll work well then.
shravani, were you super set on reading cake pop crush for this?

jessica wrote: "that'll work well then.
shravani, were you super set on reading cake pop crush for this?"

Well I'm actually not reading anything currently so i thought I'll pick it up

sounds good. so i'll let you know when kadi responds and then we can go from there?

Yup that's cool. I'll see if I can get a copy of Cherry Crush in the meanwhile if that's ok Dana?
I mean this not reading thing is making me kind of restless 😅

If Kadi agrees on Cake pop crush Shravani can read it and maybe I'll use mine for a different task. If not, then I'll read mine for this task etc.

But we will wait for her response.

Yes, that's totally fine if you really want to read it. I have to read other 2 books anyway: The Giver and Arena 13.

So that's fine with me ^^

awesome. so cake pop crush if it works, cherry crush as a backup.

Sounds great!

okay! so cake pop crush does not work because it's a cake pop and not a sweet (because cake). so we will go with cherry crush for task 8: a book with chocolate / sweets on the cover

also, are y'all good with kadi adding two extra categories? she wants the challenge to last longer for us, especially since we're so close to finishing.

jessica wrote: "okay! so cake pop crush does not work because it's a cake pop and not a sweet (because cake). so we will go with cherry crush for task 8: a book with chocolate / sweets on the cover"

Cool I can get the ebook for it. I'll start with that then.

jessica wrote: "also, are y'all good with kadi adding two extra categories? she wants the challenge to last longer for us, especially since we're so close to finishing."

Yep I think it's a good idea!

I want the two extra categories as well. Anything to make this more interesting

Yeah, I don't have anything to read right now either, but since I read The Lightning Thief I want to continue with that series because that's what Percy and Annabeth do to me, but I have a huge stack of both MG and YA books that I need to read. And it's the thirteenth at 1:32pm here but time differences, so the bonus tasks have not been revealed yet

13 minutes for category 1 bonus tasks

I'll see if any work for Bliss

Sounds great! I also agree with 2 extra categories.

Also, I am currently continuing with The Giver so I hope to finish it tomorrow (it’s 10:57 p.m. here).

And the first category of bonus tasks have been revealed on your team’s spreadsheet! I’m waiting for a response from a couple more people before I upload the two extra categories.

Until then, happy reading!

Can I read The House of Hades for BT 1? It's maybe my favourite one from all of them

works for me. and i can read the Mark of Athena for bt3 bc there are so many of them in that one

so many perspectives that is

Wow! The bonus tasks are so specific! Alice Queensmeadow is from Furthermore, right? Anyway, Coraline is easy.

Oh, God! This is my favourite challenge ever!
