I think the first two definitely fit 3, Circe fits 6.
The others I haven't read yet so I do not know... But we could google and find out

Then maybe we could read Circe? If everyone agrees?

Shadowhunters fit 1,3,5,6

I read circe recently but we need 3 members so yeah ya'll should go for it....

I guess it fits prompt 7 too... They dont go to school but they train.... And the place is called the Institute

We can do only the team tasks only once and books for prompts 2, 4, and 7 are already decided with their threads so I think we should let them be...

If we are doing shadowhunters...can we do The inferal devices instead of the mortal instruments?? I am not a big fan of TMI

yeah I would prefer infernal devices too

Wow i have been wanting a br for TID for so long.... Btw are you rereading infernal devices???

I have read the first one and then I didn't continue..not because it was bad or anything..but it was umm difficult

I would be up for doing Circe!!!

Me too!!

Umm... I've already read The Infernal Devices and Circe so, you guys will have to do these tasks without me I suppose 😅
I'll participate in other Team Tasks.

I've read Circe just a month back, I'll pass!!

I am not that keen on Infernal devices, I've read it some 4 years back, I'd rather read new books than reread

Can't we pick up standalones for team tasks?

100% standalones would be better because most ppl have read the popular series already

Yes exactly!

What about A Song of Achilles??

We are doing 4 books i suppose... Twilight, truly devious and lost hero and circe ... Lets finish it then we can discuss other 4 books....

Instead of circe we can do Lore... Because half of us have read circe recently

Wait, what about The Wrath and the Dawn? Aren't we doing that??
Cassidy, Rida, Arundhati and me were going to br it.

I'm willing to give it a shot :)

Ohh ya i missed it

Lets complete these 5 and then decide the other 3

Yess me too! Anyone else up for it?

Lets do lore... I saw reviews and its like song of achilles isnt up to the mark

Sreehitha wrote: "Lets do lore... I saw reviews and its like song of achilles isnt up to the mark"

I saw the exact opposite lmao.

The Song of Achilles has an overall rating of 4.40 and Lore has an overall rating of 3.88

Haha Sam , I heard the exact opposite too. A friend of mine loves greek mythology , she told me lore was just average

;))

I can do Song of Achilles. I read like 1/3 of it when it was BOTM in May but well I couldn't continue. But it was really good to that point.

I don't mind Lore too. I would be getting my copy this month I guess. But yeah I see Song of Achilles having rave reviews.

@Sam @Arundhati
We can do it for character prompts too( if it fits for your character), doesn't have to be a team task

I would also vote for Song of Achilles. Even though I've read the book but it is sooo good!!!

I can read song of achilles... I completed 40% i guess... I just didn't complete....lets do it 👍

Lemme see both Ptrocolus and Achilles could be called as headstrong...so yup I can do it for character prompt too if Sam and Sanjana you are willing to

Oh great then we can fix Song of Achilles too then.

So which 3 prompts are left??

you want to use Song of Achilles for prompt 3 or 8?

if you choose it for 3, you can read another Greek mythology book for 8

For 8 is there a book involving hades or persephone???

I know of some - A Touch of Darkness, Neon Gods (these two are adult), Lore Olympus (this is 1000+ pages though)

Hey I wanted to point out something. Br for teamtask ultimately is not gonna get us big scores. Compared to if we br for character prompts. Think about it. We need 4 team task to qualify. Let's do the minimum and do br for character prompts. That way multiple people get br and pg scores.

Let's do the ones we have decided for now and get upto a good score. Later we can circle back to completing team tasks. We should be working on the doing as many books for character prompts. Just a suggestion to think about.

I completely agree with you Arundhati, good that you pointed it out

Have you guys thought about the books which fit your character prompts?
