Bookish blocks

This is a 3 week challenge, running from the 8th of January, until the 29th

For this challenge, we have a 5x5 grid, with different descriptions in.

The aim of the game, is to read books that match the descriptions.
If the boxes you tick off, make a line, you get bonus points.

The descriptions

• Each book read will be worth one point.

• Each book that was read with a buddy, will also be one point.

• Each line you get, will give you 5 extra points.

Lines can be made by reading 5 books downwards, 5 books sideways, and 5 books diagonally.

Once you tick a box off, it's gone. So if you read all the books across the top line, you don;t have to read "dress on cover" again to go down the middle line. :)

Hi Alice. :) Once you tick a box off, you don't have to do that one again, but you can only tick one box off per book.

Ok, I guess it would be too easy if you could use one book for more than one square!

message 21: by Inês (new)

Inês | 583 comments I have a question, can one book tick off more than one box? For example, a book which is a first one in a series and has multiple POV, if I read that book can I tick those boxes or I can only tick one?


message 22: by Tati (new)

Tati Inês, you can only tick one box off per book.

No, it will only tick one off.
Once you tick that box off though, you won't have to read it again to do the other line. Once it's ticked off, it's gone.

message 36: by Heather (new)

Heather | 10157 comments and also if I was to read the first book in a series and it was a dystopian novel could that 1 book be used for 2 squares?

No, One book can only be used for one block.

Strong character basically mean that they're brave. It's someone that doesn't run away when there's danger, and instead, faces it head on.

Thanks!


message 48: by Inês (new)

Inês | 583 comments Also a question about the numbers, would this count Fearless (Fearless, #1) by Francine Pascal ?


message 49: by Christina (new)

Christina | 4293 comments I can't wait for this challenge to start! I've started preparing for it (that's how excited I am!) and I have a few questions:

Would Power of Six by Pittacus Lore count as 'a number in it's title'?

And does the challenge start at a certain time zone? Or we can start and stop in our own time zones from 8th-29th? Thanks in advance :)

Yes, that would count :) The challenge starts, and ends in central pacific time, which is goodreads time. :)
