Cool times Plethora! I knew about the notes, but I didn't know you could add it to the columns when viewing stuff. That might be handy if coming across obscure stuff you want to remember for challenges. I'm forever coming across something that I think "I'll need to remember that" and never do. :)
Too small. Obviously the castle has a door but I can't make it out.
Thanks for the recommendations, but it's not a hotel setting. It's Hotel in the Title or a Hotel shown on the cover, so none of those would work. Sorry!

I'm going to have to say no, as much as I hate to. It's clear what it is, but in general, like to see about half, or more, of the item that we're looking for. I gotta stick with that, or the challenge gets a little too easy. So sorry!Does work for Key tho. :)
I'm gonna say no, Ashley, unless the character is featured in multple stories and is through most, or almost all of the book. Sorry.
We do, and I guess that could have been what happened, I know its definitely not now tho, so depends on if there are still issues. I'm usually careful about that. :)
Its never worked for me. Probably just me, it only looks for titles/authors, not in the books themselves. Is it because I have a Fire, does it only do it on the non-tablet ones?
I agree, that would be helpful. Wish I knew how to do something like that. Wonder how you can search for everything else on all those other sites you can search for stuff. Can't be too hard to make, just time consuming!I've found the best thing to do is search the names as a title of the book. If you do a Search with the name as title, then you get the name popping up as series titles. Might not be the best books you find, but at least it's something. I've updated post 43 with more I have found and will keep posting there for a bit with any I find.
Second that. :) Just started looking myself.The Percy Jackson series, starting with The Lightning Thief, and author Heather Graham are the only ones I know of off the top of my head. Fantastic Fiction can help with the author names.
Will post here as I find any.
Percy ~
George ~
George Fayne in Nancy Drew Book # 5 and on Fred ~
Ron ~
Ginny ~ Ginny Gordon series by Julie Campbell
For Completed Criteria to open the next chapter, 7 members must read one book each to cover the 7 Books in the Names Task.For Individual Completion, any member reading 1 of the Weasley names, must read all 5 of the names for the Task to be considered Completed.
For Evo?Over on the Magic Kingdom thread.
Also now linked in all individual threads as the Magic Kingdom link.
Sorry you are stuck. :( Here's a Recommendations thread, if you want to ask over there too, that way if anyone else is having issues they can look through and get inspiration. More people will see your question there too, as they may not check into this thread, but usually do with the recommendations thread.I don't know what your preferences are, so it's hard to suggest. Do you like disaster type books? I read Hotel Megalodon and it had editing issues but was entertaining. Was like Jurassic Park underwater. :)
Check out this list of Hotels, Motels & BnBs, hopefully it'll help!
Sorry Sam. Maybe with Evo starting up, this will slow down (just a bit) so our few that are doing all the tasks can catch up a bit. The chapters keep getting longer tho, so the Tasks keep rising. :)Thanks Claire, really appreciate it. :) I'm just too hard on myself, I know that, but it's me. :D
Nope. Title only. No subtitles either.
Yes, it counts. Approximately half of the car/bus/plane should be seen, such as down either side, or all the front or back. Since you can see almost the whole length of the car, it'll fit.
For this one, yes, since I messed up what I thought it was. I had two "Tasks" in my head. Since a Task equals 3, 4 or 5 books (in this case), I had it in my head that one person could read for more than two books. I was thinking they could complete two tasks, but I saw how it read in the criteria. It should have said "read for two BOOKS each" not two Tasks each. I had it all messed up in my own head, so I feel stupid. :(Since Maya has finished, but not posted, I'll post the Next Chapter today and officially mark it as completed after she does post.
