Minesweeper Challenge

This is a reading challenge which runs from September 15th - 30th


For this challenge we have a grid of 100 boxes, behind each box is a points score!



Hidden inside these boxes are:
5 bombs worth 0 points each
31 boxes worth +1 point
36 boxes worth +2 points
25 boxes worth +3 points
2 boxes worth +4 points
and 1 gold star worth +5 points!


The aim of the game is to get the highest points score.
* For each book read and reviewed you will get +1 point,
* For each confirmed buddy read you will get +1 point.
* For every book that you read you will be able to pick a box, and will be awarded the number of points within that box.
* For every buddy read, you will be able to pick a second box, and also receive the points within that box too.
The points that you score though will be kept secret until the end, so that more than one person can pick each box.


Example:
Earthbound (Earthbound, #1) by Aprilynne Pike
Review: Link
Buddy: Link
Box guessed: #12
Bonus Buddy Box: #23

(= +1 point for book, +1 point for buddy read, + points from box 12, + points from box 23)

This will be the thread for sign-ups and questions.

As long as you read it from the 15th, and discuss it, it will count ☺


message 28: by Jodi (new)

Jodi (readinbooks) | 327 comments I would love to but now that I am back at work, I just don't have time to read as much. It is a great challenge. Maybe we can do it again next summer :)

Even if you just read one book, it still counts :)
