So, I know this prompt shouldn't be hard... but I've been looking a covers all morning and I don't know if I'm being too specific or what... anyone know of a book that might work:Read a book that has a predominately green and silver cover.

I've noticed lots of variations (not just here in the maze).
My current task is: Read a book which has the main location (setting) as a cold/frozen country/worldIs it ok to use Massachusetts? It gets cold, certainly, but does that actually meet the task? I can't decide.

Does anyone have a good method for searching out character names in books, even outside of GR? I'm having a time finding something.
I didn't manage to finish my book, unfortunately! So close!
they usually give captains 24hrs+ to log everything
What time does the challenge officially end? 4pm EST?I MIGHT be able to finish the book I'm reading. It'll be close though!
Bernadette wrote: "I picked this one because it was short and the cover (and finally completes!) another challenge."Same. I needed it for a challenge (book with a rainbow on the cover) and was like, oh cute! A quicky romance with a bakery... 👀👀
I should have read the synopsis more closely...
Not there is anything inherently wrong with it. Just not my cup o' tea!
I dislike it, but sometimes I just have to get used to something. I am ok with all the details being shown without having to click more or less detail, but I liked the cover being bigger.
Bernadette - I saw you're reading "Rainbow Sprinkles"... just .... prepare yourself. I thought I was getting something MUCH different than what I was ACTUALLY getting. Thankfully, it's short.
I read them to my husband. We were hysterical. I wanted those points!
Would in be insane if I wrote the Comedy too? 👀 So... yeah. It's only moderately funny... Comedy??
Meet Bridget Jones and Dakota Dawn, two stepsisters who are Book Lovers! Bridget's dad, known affectionately throughout the neighborhood as the Single Dad Next Door, started dating The It Girl, Dakota's mom. Everything in their lives was "normal" until a stranger appeared in their lives.
Matilda began working as their housekeeper about a year after their parent's marriage, or as Dakota liked to gossip, "Faking It as the Maid", since she always did a terrible job. One afternoon, Bridget noticed Matilda polishing a strange-looking lamp. Once Matilda finished cleaning, Bridget noticed a still very noticeable smudge on the lamp and picked it up and wiped it off. This was enough to engage The Magic of the Lamp and soon a giant phoenix appeared, hovering in midair.
"Hey there, Daughter of the Moon Goddess, the name is Klutz: Phoenix Heat, and I'm here to grant 3 wishes! Tell me all your Pretty Secrets!" the Phoenix roared, then promptly tumbled to the ground, no longer floating.
Stunned, Bridget blurted out the only thing that came to mind. She'd been reading a book about werewolves earlier that day called Wolf Pact and decided she'd love to be a werewolf.
"Granted! Until Next Time!" Klutz yelled and disappeared in a wave of water and soaked Bridget instantly.
"What the heck!?" she thought. Confused, and not at all hairy (though strangely smelling of wet dog), Bridget retreated to her room to write about the odd experience in her diary.
Later that day, Dakota felt sneaky and picked up Bridget Jones's Diary and was astonished to read about her stepsister's experience. Hurt that she didn't tell her about it right away, she decided to get Her Revenge! She ran off to find the lamp, rubbed it, and just as before, out popped a giant Phoenix.
"Oy! I'm Klutz: Phoenix Secrets, and I'm here to grant 3 wishes!" Klutz attempted to face Dakota but kept spinning as if in a tiny tornado.
Confused, but determined, Dakota said, "Hello Klutz! I'd like to be a Princess!"
"Wish Granted!" Klutz roared and he tumbled in midair.
Suddenly, Dakota found herself trapped in A Court of Wings & Ruin, Guarded by the Soldier of ReDawn. But it wasn't all bad since the inhabitants, frightened by her sudden appearance, instantly worshipped her as a Goddess.
Hours passed and Bridget realized that her sister was missing and decided to ask the phoenix to show her where she was.
After rubbing the lamp, Klutz appeared and yelled, "Oh! Not You Again!"
"Where is my sister?" Bridget demanded.
"Oh, in the Court of Wings and Ruin near The Phantom Tollbooth, probably destroying Her Villians and doing princessy things," Klutz replied, as though it made perfect sense.
"Well, bring her back!" she yelled. "She's not supposed to be a princess!"
"Well, you're not supposed to be a werewolf either, but here we are. If you want me to bring her back, I will have to undo all the magic and no one will be ANYTHING interesting!"
Bridget mulled this over and decided that maybe being a werewolf wasn't the best idea she'd ever had and demanded that Klutz bring her stepsister back.
"Ok, fine, but that's final! Don't bother me again!" Klutz said, wobbling in the air yet again and finally tumbling back into the lamp.
Dakota appeared and Bridget explained what she'd done to get her back. Dakota was a bit annoyed, but was honestly happy to be back.
I mean... is it too much?
Bernadette wrote: "Wonderful!"Do we get extra points for poor writing skills? Kind of like a bonus? hahaha
Ok.... so I did a thing. It's bad.... not at all a great story, but I tried! Will it work?? I pulled books that hadn't been used yet and created a "TRAGEDY!" HAHA - Don't laugh.... I did laugh at myself while trying to write it. It's stupid!!A Tragedy
In a world "Lost in Time" lived a beautiful, but "Shattered Princess" by the name of Clarissa. Her mother and her sisters, known as the infamous "Pretty Dead Queens" created a spell called "The Virus of Beauty". The "Ruthless" Queens did not like that Clarissa had such beauty, and sought to destroy it, so that she would never find a Prince and take away their throne. The Queens lured Clarissa through "The Path of Thorns" to "The Phantom Tree" by the "River of Shadows" where she noticed "Something in the Water", a beautiful rose. Curious, she reached for it and immediately she began to transform. "I Must Betray You" the Queen yelled, “for you are too beautiful to exist!” Clarissa managed a last plea, “Please, don’t “Break Me”!” before she was frozen in stone, sealed with "The Magic of Eternity".
The village the Queens ruled over mourned the loss of their beautiful "Missing Clarissa", but no one dared accuse the Queens, though they knew they were "Traitor"s.
Many years passed and ivy grew over the statue of Clarissa and the stone crumbled, until she began to disappear, "The Vanishing Half" of her face hiding her expression of hopeful, but "Fractured Freedom".
One day a handsome Prince came and saw the statue of the Princess. He was so moved by her sad beauty that he asked in the village about the statue. The villagers, fearing the Queens’ wrath, lied and said it was just an old statue, with no significance. But the Prince knew the truth, having heard the stories and rumors of the past. The Prince, angry that the villagers had lied, transformed into his real form, a "Dreadgod" and that's when "The Violence" began. First, earthquakes shook the ground, and then a fire engulfed the village, slowly spreading to the statue, "Igniting Ivy" and exposing the crumbling statue. The villagers, fearing their stone princess would be destroyed begin to cry out, "We Were Liars"!! Please, don't destroy our beloved princess Clarissa! But it did no good and soon the statue was only dust.
The End
Also, I'll die if we aren't actually supposed to do it like this. Die of embarrassment. 🤣😂🤣
