213642 LOL! Yuppers. I know you are further than what you had posted!!

213642 I did A Drink Before the War for winked. There's also: The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making which fits both Voldemort and Winked. Wink Murder, and The Wicked We Have Done.

The Naturals is the only gift I have, I think. I don't like plain romance, but you'll probably find a lot of gifts if you search holiday romances in the listopia.

213642 Feel free to check in on what the other Hogwarts Students have done for ideas. I have been doing 4 Tasks a chapter (or more) so far, so I always have books done, here's my thread. I had been doing a planning post (post 8) and deleting it, but I'll start keeping it so that it maybe can help out. Others good to check up on would be Ashley, Caly and Kim, who all are up to date, so have their own books listed. Angie too, if she'll get her books posted. :)

Let us know what kind of books you like, we can probably suggest better things, and which tasks you'd like. But specifically, if you don't mind over-the-top action, The Great Zoo of China by Matthew Reilly is good for the Zoo. Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1) by Sarah J. Maas , City of Glass (The Mortal Instruments, #3) by Cassandra Clare , Glass Sword (Red Queen, #2) by Victoria Aveyard are some glass books. Play Dead (D.I. Kim Stone, #4) by Angela Marsons was 390 pages. Dunno if you have read any of the Mortal Instruments books, but the first one has a birthday, then that 3rd one is a Glass title. I'll look for some more, if you still need any suggestions. Hopefully some others will jump in with theirs as well.

213642 Nope, the war won't work. 10 years have to pass within the book, not as a flashback either, but actual years. Usually you can find books like that where the prologue is a while before the rest of the story, and that works.

The Naturals (The Naturals, #1) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is a good YA/mystery, if you like that kind of thing. Or there's this Gifts List on listopia.

213642 Awesome ladies! That's a bunch of you nearby.

I'll leave opening up Ch 6 as is for now, can always tweak it later. We'd need everyone so far for it. :) It's a doozy.

And sorry to those of you doing all tasks. It's a bit long. :D

213642 I'm not sure if Angie is up to date or not, but I have 2 done so I certainly can jump in if you all want me to. :)

So only 4 of us (so far) are waiting on Ch 5. Might have to change some things around for Ch 5. It's a big one, and it's set for quite a few more people than just 4 to open.

213642 3 Down, one person to go. Anyone close to having it? How's everyone doing with it? Liking it so far?

Next chapter gets a little harder with the criteria. Could I get a headcount of who is up to date (on Chapt 4 with us)? I might have to decrease the amount of people needed for the next criteria if not a lot of people are here yet.

If y'all can, post if you are on Chapt 4, and/or what chapter you are on, so I can see if I need to tweak things for the next chapter.

213642 You are able to use that one book across the board for all the challenges. It's the book that's allowed for the one reward, so as much as you can use it, you may. :)

Ah crap, we never set up the Request thread, did we. Oooops!
Sep 07, 2017 04:19PM

213642 Nope, you can just do it here. Can take a few spots if you're gonna do all Tasks and think you might need 'em. Just depends on how you track. :)

Enjoy!
Sep 07, 2017 03:33PM

213642 Nope, no time limit, except for what you want to do with your rabid level. Only restriction is that if you get through all 8 before the week of the 18, then you'll have to wait on Stage Two, because that's when it airs. :D
Sep 07, 2017 07:23AM

213642 That really stinks! :( We'll go ahead and allow it this time for that. I hate when titles have such a difference between page counts, makes no sense!

213642 Nice one Claire! I never found that one. Here's the ones I found if anyone else is still looking:

The Honk and Holler Opening Soon by Billie Letts Over the Moon at the Big Lizard Diner (Texas Hill Country #3) by Lisa Wingate Above the Bridge (Paige MacKenzie Mysteries, #1) by Deborah Garner

I read the first, and it wasn't bad. I tried the 3rd and hated it. Looking at restaurants/diners seemed to be the way to go, rather than for hotels/B&Bs (which is what I initially was looking at).

Some people think so. :) But I'm a Reilly fan so I love it anyways. :D

Glad you ladies loved it. :)

213642 Correct. :) So that book is fine. I actually was going to read it myself for that task, but decided to do a re-read of GZoC (which I highly recommend). :D

The Great Zoo of China by Matthew Reilly

213642 Correct! Sorry!
