Joanne, I've got a couple questions about the August challenge. Let me know how best to ask them, here, another thread or by PM. Thanks!

[Jojobean]

you can pm me if you'd like. or ask me in this thread. whatever you wanna do is fine

[Stacie]

Can the item be in the name of the book? For example, for "fire" would count?

Is the challenge considered completed when we hit 75 books or when all of the words are spelled out and the items are found?

I think that's all I had. I'm looking at what books I have that will meet the challenge since I'm a try hard planner type person. Thanks Joanne!

[Ashley]

I have a question too... Are we going to assign items to find or are we each supposed to find them all?

[Ashlynn]

questions from me as well :) when will we fund out how many books we will have to read??

[Jojobean]

@ Stacie. yes you can find words in the title of the book. just remember its one book per item/name.

the challenge in terms of the mods is done once we hit 75 books. however if you want to set a personal challenge for yourself you can continue reading if you wish to

[Ashlynn]

should we start finding books now?

[Jojobean]

@ Ashley we are supposed to find them all individually. you can choose whih ones you want to do as well

[Jojobean]

@ Ashlynn. I'm still waiting for other participants for the challenge so I can calculate all the goals in one shot.

yes you can begin to look for books if you want to

[Ashlynn]

Should we start listing our books as well?

[Stacie]

[Jojobean]

Eni, I will figure out how many books you should read based on your book goal. if you want to read more then by all means please do. we will get 75 books from the participants plus I will be looking at the rest of our members who are not actively in the challenge and use their books.

I guess you cab focus on the words and names since the spell it out is taken. unless you want one of my letters.

[Eni]

Only if you don't want so many letters =) i'm good with whatever! <3 thanks Joanne. Quick question, does Bill count for William? I'm reading one of sookie's books and i was wondering if i could use it for William, since Bill's full name is William Compton
