This image is not one of the clues for the challenge. It's just a sample.

If you participated in the Find the Cover Challenge when I ran it in !YA Heroines!, you'll be familiar with how this works. I'll try to make some of the covers easier.

(If you want to see an example of how this challenge runs from beginning to end, you can go here: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...


WHAT IS THIS CHALLENGE?

This is the side non-reading challenge to accompany our Themed Challenge this month.

Every day, I will a couple different pieces cropped out from a book covers. It's your job to find me the title of the book and the name of the author/s. Of course, they will vary in difficulty, and sometimes I might give you a hint. ;)

POINTS:
For the sake of determining a winner, each correct answer will be worth one point unless I say otherwise.

Points towards the Themed Challenge
Participation: 6 points
Winner (1st place): 6 points
Winner (2nd place): 4 points
Winner (3rd place): 2 points

SUBMITTING ANSWERS

After I post each set of pieces, you have 24 hours to message me your answers. **NOTE: if you post your answers here or elsewhere in the group during the challenge, you will be disqualified. That way, every one has a chance to get the points.

DATES OF CHALLENGE

(Times go by Pacific time in US)
Start: August 9th (round 1 begins)
End: August 17th (round 7 ends)

The first round will start somewhere in the early afternoon where I'm at. (My internet often times decides it doesn't like me, so sometimes the rounds might start later than I intend.)

SIGN UPS?
Please sign up here by the end of the first round (which ends on August 10th)

**The idea for this challenge initially came from the YA Buddy Readers' Corner group.

Shav (keelahlove) | 429 comments Thank you so much!!


message 27: by [deleted user] (new)

Are you giving clues again, Kaitlin? (just wondering, I don't need them yet)


message 28: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) I will be doing hints again. :)


message 29: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) I think I forgot to mention this. I need to tell you all how this challenge ties in to our theme. Here it is:

In each round, there will be at least one dystopia book with a piece shown. Sometimes, there will be more than one.



message 30: by [deleted user] (new)

Do we get hints for this round?


message 31: by Perenelle (new)

Perenelle | 250 comments Its annoying cause i know all except for one :(


message 32: by [deleted user] (new)

Same


message 33: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) I'll give only one hint for this round, so decide wisely.


message 34: by [deleted user] (new)

I'll get on the computer later, see if I can find the one I haven't got and let someone else use the hint :) Perenelle, which cover haven't you got?


message 35: by Shav (new)

Shav (keelahlove) | 429 comments Yes! Please give a hint!


message 36: by Perenelle (new)

Perenelle | 250 comments number 4! It's nagging my memory, but gosh, i cant find it :O


message 37: by [deleted user] (new)

I can't find number 3 :)


message 38: by Perenelle (new)

Perenelle | 250 comments aweh number 3 was just a guess for me, but im pretty sure i know what it is ;)


message 39: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) I'll give a hint for number 3.


message 40: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) Hint for number three:

This book is actually written by not one, but two, authors.

You can send in either one or both of the authors' names with the title. I'll still count it as long as it's correct.



message 41: by Perenelle (new)

Perenelle | 250 comments nooooo i got it wrong then :C


message 42: by Perenelle (new)

Perenelle | 250 comments can i resubmit?


message 43: by [deleted user] (new)

Yes! Thank-you Kaitlin! I've got them all :D


message 44: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) Perenelle, I'll let you resubmit for this round only because I don't believe I said anything about not being able to do that.

However, from Round 2 on, answers may only be submitted once.


message 45: by Jacquelyn (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) I can't think of 4 and 5!! D:
