Team Challenge: Hidden Book Covers | Sign-ups Close August 13th!

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

Who's ready for a new team challenge??

How-To Play
Each team will receive a puzzle that they will solve by removing pieces. The way to remove a piece is by reading a book. Once a book is read and reviewed (post the review in your team's thread), you may then select one of the pieces to be removed. If you think you know what the book cover is, make a guess. You get one guess at the puzzle for each book read. Guesses may be saved until future pieces are removed; but once the puzzle is solved, the guesses will be reset. As an added bonus, any book read that has 500+ pages allows you to remove TWO pieces from the puzzle.

Example of puzzle


A team member reads and reviews a book then chooses to remove piece 15:



The team continues to remove pieces until they can solve the puzzle, in this case the book cover is:



Deadline to signup is August 13th.

Teams will be created between August 14-16 and the challenge will begin on August 17th.

Challenge begins: August 17, 2015
Ends: when the first team correctly solves 5 puzzles

All formats of books are allowed for this challenge.
Books must be at least 100 pages long

I'm in :)

I read 2-3 books a week.

[Angie ~aka Reading Machine~]

I'm in! I usually read 6-7 books a week.

[Dawn]

I'm in. I usually read between 3-4 books per week, sometimes less, sometimes more.

[Dizzy]

I'm in!! :) I usually read at least 2 books per week, occasionally more.

Welcome, Angie, Dawn, and Dizzy! :)

I would like to participate. I read a book a week.
Thanks!

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

Welcome, Shae, Staci, and Sara!

[Brittany]

Yay! Welcome :D

[Caitlyn]

I'm in! Between 1 and 2 books per week! :)

[Cynthia]

I want to play! I read between 1-2 book a week on average.

[Andrea]

I would love to play. With my work schedules, I can only read one book every two weeks right now. Is that a problem for this game?

[Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞]

Welcome everyone!

Andrea, I completely understand about busyness and I'll put you down for .5 books a week and even out the teams that way. Since you can still help your team solve the puzzle, I don't have any problem with that :)

[Andrea]

Aww, thanks, Melanie!

[Rita]

I'm in! I haven't been reading much lately, so I don't want to commit to reading more than 1-2 books per week.

[Kimberly]

I would love to play. Generally one book a week is all I can read, unless I am reviewing a cookbook also.
