Challenge #11 (Feb/Mar 2013): Tasks & Questions

[Nell]

Sorry about that Marti. I was trying to be helpful. I did a search on the list for books I could use and that one did not show up. Later I found out that according to GR Feedback the search feature isn't working for lists.

Some of the tasks require reading historical fiction and/or a book of a certain page length. Can you claim the bonus points for HF and pages if it's part of the task requirement?

For 5.2 The Big game it says read a book with a sporting event or any competition as part of the plot. So the competion part, I assume doesn't have to be about sports. I am reading and the characters of "Jack" and "Jill" use a game board and roll dice to decide their next victim and they compete with themselves and keep score to see how many people they can kill. So would this book work for this task?

Yes.

I posted a question (post 103), it has been a few days. Could I get a ruling on it? I like to use the book for this challenge.

@Jayme...sorry about that....been away from my computer for the last couple days.
Yes, this will work.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Has anyone read Life After Life and given it 5 stars. Jolene, how would I find out if a member has? Thank you.

[Holly]

To clarify, I received Life After Life several weeks ago from Amazon Vine program and it has been on my TBR list, so I think it qualifies in that regard.

Holly, if you go to the group bookshelf and in the search box enter "Life After Life", then you'll get a page with matching books. Under the book you want there is a link that says "view group reviews »» ", click on that and you will see every members' review on that book.

Thanks Jackie......I didn't know that :-)

[Jackie]

No problem. :) I discovered that feature when I started adding group read books to the bookshelf. It's a neat feature if you have people in the group you're compatible with, but are not GR friends or following them or even if you just want a general consesus of hardcore HF readers.

Got it. Thanks very much, Jackie!
