I'm Thinking of a Number . . . Challenge

[Kate]

This challenge is similar to the Find the Cover Challenge in how the winner gets to choose a BOTM for next month. It's also a non-reading challenge. This challenge, though, is a lot more simpler than the last one and will only require one submission.



How it works:
-I have chosen a number between one and ten, and have spelled the number out with the first letter of titles from books on my Goodreads "read" shelf. (Everything was chosen with Random.org.) **No books starting with the words "The" or "A" were used.

-The challenge is to submit which number you think I am thinking of and use books from my bookshelf to spell the number out. (Please submit your guesses on this thread.)

-The person who guesses closest to the number I'm thinking is the winner. If its a tie, then it will be determined by whose book titles are closest to the ones I used. The winner will choose a book for the group to read next month. (And depending on our freebies available the ending week, the winner may also win an ebook.)

-Time: The challenge starts today. I'll pick a winner on May 27th.

Example Submission:
(Since my number is between one and ten, I'm using one that wouldn't be a possible answer.)

Thank you to all of you who submitted answers in for this challenge. It was a real simple one. Next month's non-reading challenge will be more difficult.

No one guessed the correct answer, and the two people with the closest answers didn't have titles close enough to the real ones for me to declare one of them the winner.

However, one person did guess one of the titles right, so that is my winner.

Here's my number (which just so happens to be my favorite):

E - Existence by Abbi Glines
I - It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini
G - Generation Dead by Daniel Waters
H - Hunger by Michael Grant
T - Tricks by Ellen Hopkins

Congratulations to Jojiwoji, who had the title of Hunger correct in her number guess! You get to choose a BOTM for the group to read in June. :)

Oh wow! That was unexpected...

Ok. Could we please read Unearthly by Cynthia Hand?


Let me know if I'm not allowed a series book for some reason and I can pick a standalone

[Chelsea]

It is OK, thats great! Congrats!
