The Mango Tango Chain Game

[Diane L]

Forgot I was on the hook for Wizard. I'll start it when I finish my current book. Wizard is almost 600 pages so I expect it to take a couple of days.

[Barb]

You don't have to hurry to finish it, Evana, unless you want to. I was just making sure I didn't miss a post that you'd finished it :)

[Diane L]

Completed Wizard: The Life and Times of Nikola Tesla: Biography of a Genius, 542 pages, 10 Oct.

[Barb]

Yay Evana!

[Steven]

YAY EVANA! :D

[Barb]

I've finished If You Can't Stand the Heat, but will have to see if I have anything that works with any of the words in the title.

[Steven]

I started The House of Hades today, so that can match THE! :) (LOL another THE)

[Barb]

Better than nothing :) I'll add it to the list!

[Diane L]

Not seeing a minimum word length in the rules, I'll match OF from The House of Hades.

I'm currently reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

[Steven]

As long as there are at least three words in the title, you're good on whichever word you can match!

[Barb]

I've got The One and Only Ivan -- matching THE and AND -- on my list to read soon, and that might give the rest of you something to work with ... maybe?

[Steven]

Oh yeah! I finished the house of hades!

[Barb]

I'll cross it off the list :)

[Jane]

Ohh, I nearly forgot. I finished Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi while I was on the Swedish island.

[Jane]

I will read The Son Of Neptune to match THE

[Steven]

Oh, and Evana has finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix as well (as she posted it, and Half-Blood Prince, as completed during the past week)

[Barb]

I'll mark all of those accordingly, thanks :)

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

And I can match Duke OF Midnight to that.

Thanks Steven. I had finally realized I forgot to post here when I finished Order of the Phoenix.

[Barb]

I'll add you to the list, Lisa :)

[Steven]

No worries! I noticed when I was checking for chunksters and then saw Jane's post an thought id mention it while barb was in the middle of updating! :p

[Barb]

How long does a book have to be to qualify for a chunkster? I have one coming up that's 464 pages ... ?

We verify by word count first, then page count. So, 112,500 words - or 450 pages.

[Barb]

Thanks! I'll have to see if I can find word count for this one. It's brand new, and I've had a little more trouble finding word counts for new releases.

[Moderators of NBRC]

Brand new releases are hard for us to get a word count on.

[Barb]

I'll post over in the Page Numbers thread, where this discussion belongs :) Thanks!

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Finished Duke of Midnight

[Barb]

Go Lisa! I finished The One and Only Ivan, too. It was good, but I really think Wonder should have won the Newbery instead.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Yes, I was thinking I wish I had had this book in the Reading like a banshee comp, I read the entire book in one day, 350 pages!

[Steven]

Well, we like when we finish books fast, but no worries about the Banshee reading... We won that remember? Hehehe!

But reading an entire book in a day always feels good!!!

[Karla]

I can match Lisa's book with Of in Confessions of a Bad Teacher: The Shocking Truth from the Front Lines of American Public Education by John Owens

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Good one Karla. Looks like a interesting read and lots of words to match for the chain as an added bonus.

[Barb]

I'll add it to the list, Karla, thanks!

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Ooh, Ooh, OOh... I've got one to match Karla's and it's not an and, the or of!

The Miss Education of Dr. Exeter

[Barb]

Wow, a "real" word! LOL

[Diane L]

Matching 'Miss' from Lisa's book, I'll read Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind which I've been looking for an excuse to read.

[Barb]

Oh that's a fun book, Evana! I'll add it to the list :)

[Barb]

I need to read   Over Her Dead Body soon anyhow, so I might as well add it to our list, right? It'll motivate me to read it sooner rather than later!

[Steven]

I need to add something to the chain soon! X)

[Steven]

Aha! This is on my reading plan for soon:

Dead in the Family by Charlaine Harris. :)

[Barb]

Well there ya go :) I'll add it to the list!

[Karla]

I was hoping that someone would be able to match a new word with the long title.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Mission accomplished, Karla, LOL...

[Jane]

I have finished .

I will check later to see if I have something that fits Dead in the Family.

[Barb]

Well done, Jane :)

[Diane L]

I've finished Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind. I have two more I need to finish before the end of the month but neither match the end of the chain.

[Barb]

I'll cross it off the list, Evana!

[Karla]

Finished Confessions of a Bad Teacher: The Shocking Truth from the Front Lines of American Public Education.

I can match "dead" in Steven's book with Dead Is the New Black by Marlene Perez

[Barb]

Great, Karla, I'll make the changes to our list!
