Judith’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

It does help we’ve revealed just over half the tasks on our own

There is not a public list of the tasks and I’m trying hard to be a good little mod and not let any out of the bag that haven’t popped up for other teams.

The struggle is real 😂

Those mainly fall into 2 categories
1) books that work for the Chipmunk tasks that we only have 10 open ones at a time. And each team gets them in a different random order. To be clear all teams have the same 140 tasks, but our say task 20 will be different than Team Kumi's task 20. But eventually we'll both get the task.
So we know some of the yet to be revealed tasks and have read books ready to plug in as soon as they pop up and can get another new one revealed right away.
Hopefully that makes some sense.
2) books that don't fit in the open tasks but may work for a yet to be revealed Chipmunk task.
3) or it may just go towards our page towers and not get placed for a mini task, which is 100% fine and we'll still get plenty of points for those too :)

I've found a bunch of 9 and 11's in our banked books as well as my own. It's really quite annoying. So close and yet, so far away

New Task:

X Books - Read a book where the author name contains 10 characters (exc spaces)

In all seriousness though, I'd accept that. Actually with the rating Lexi gave a book yesterday we might have one that fits using that justification.

Teehee

New task:

10 Things the Chipmunks Love - Defenestration! - Read a book you can connect to defenestration somehow (find it in the text, set in Prague etc)

for those less familiar with the flinging of people or things out of windows: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenes...

New Task:

X-Rays - Read a book with a chemical element in the title

Used some banked books and landed us at this new task:

Top 10 Books 2018 - Read book from the GR "Best of 2018" list (see https://www.goodReads.com/list/best_b...)

Thank you! I hope you had a fun trip :)

New Chipmunk task:

Random 10 - X-Box - Read a book related to computer gaming

Certainly not limited to this list but here's a list from Listopia for books centered around gaming:

I would leave the hold on there ;)

It was one of the 400pagers. Hmm. Maybe I will move it

Used some banked books and Lexi is already working on the Malaysia task.

Newest open task:
Solve for X - Read a book with an ordinal number in the title (e.g. The 5th Wave, Second Foundation)

we have 2 books we could put here but they are in the 400 page range and I think they may be better left where they are for the page towers as this isn't a hard task to find something that works.

Bobbi, can you add this book to your TT shelf when you get a chance?

Thanks!

Jamie wrote: "Just finished Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and added to Spreadsheet but didn't see anywhere for it to count toward bonus ponts so I just put info in up through tower pages. Please feel ..."

It'll actually work for a Chipmunk task that we haven't gotten yet so we are going to hold it until it randomly pops up.

In the mean time though, can you add the book to your TT shelf?

Thanks!

X marks the spot - Read a book with a map in it

Our BOM would work for this one."

Thanks for the reminder!

Aoife,

Can you add Archibald Lox and Mercy of the Vampire King to your TT shelf when you get a chance?

Thank you!

I think this counts as a text only cover, right? I should have it finished by tomorrow most likely."

Yes, that works!
