2014 Scavenger Hunt Challenge! - BOARD TWO

[AC]

Do we have to put the book name with the item, too?

[MK]

Aidan wrote: "Do we have to put the book name with the item, too?"

Yes :). Book name, author, item collected, and date finished reading, is generally how people have been notating their tally sheets.

Welcome to the hunt, Aidan! Please add two new items for everyone else to collect too :)

Thank you, but I meant when I enter items.

[Julia]

I really should check in more often! It's hard, what with needing to write a (brief) novel about a fried chicken eating, apron-wearing person throwing a coffee cup at a rattlesnake to the soulful tootling of Kenny G's sax. :-)

Sorry, Aidan, I'm not clear. To clarify, are you asking if you should enter the book name when you 'collect' an item, and you cross it off your list? (If so, then yes :) ).

Or, are you asking if you should add a book name when you put forward two new items for the group to also collect? (If that, then no :) )

I'm sorry... I should have been more explicit... I meant the latter.

Ah, okay! No, you just say two items, and we add them to the list :)

MK wrote: "Aidan wrote: "I'm sorry... I should have been more explicit... I meant the latter. "

But how do would you know which book to look for it in?

[MK]

Aidan wrote: "But how do would you know which book to look for it in? "

Ohhhhh, it can be any book that you read in 2014. If you look back at others' tally sheets, you will see the various scavenger hunters have collected the items in different books. As you read, you notice details in your book, and when they correspond to one of the items on one of the Scavenger Hunt BOARDS, you 'collect' it, by noting it on your own sheet. :)

Nope! Just a book you read in 2014 :)

Thank you sooo much. I was lost, and now I have been found. :)

woop! :)

[AC]

Ok here's a draft:

1. Mirror
2. Tattoo

[AC]

Wait a second... Am I supposed to state that I have found something from another hunter's list?

Lol still lost :P

[MK]

Okay, I can help. Yes, first you go to post #1 in this thread. Copy/paste it into your own post. That will be your tally sheet to work off of.

As you read, you edit your post, adding in new items 'collected', and crossing them off, as you go.


If you give us two new items to collect, I will add your items to the tally sheet in post #1, and everyone who is playing, will also add them to their tally sheet. All the hunters collect all the items. Each of the hunters added two new items to the list. Some members who aren't hunting also contributed two items to the tally sheet, so the hunters would have a varied and interesting list of items to collect. :)

[MK]

Yes, they are more than okay, they're welcomed :). Thanks for to new items to hunt, Maarit. Happy reading and happy hunting! I'll copy the new items into the tally sheet in the original post.

[Kelly B]

For some reason I'm unable to edit my list right now? Hopefully it's just some sort of temporary glitch on goodreads.

I'm still playing, but I haven't had any luck finding anything in my last few reads. Maybe that will change soon:-).

Hm. GR was wacky for me on Friday. Maybe it's rolling your way now ;-). Thread should be open and editable. I haven't found any in my last few either, tho. Well, actually, I think I may be looking for my last one, and it's one of yours Kelly! (windchimes)

[Kelly B]

It's working for me now:-).

Ironically, I haven't been able to find windchimes yet either! I might have picked a different one if I had known it would be this difficult to find;-).

[MK]

heh~

[Kelly B]

Does the plural form count for a find? For example, I found universities....would that count for university?

[MK]

Kelly wrote: "Does the plural form count for a find? For example, I found universities....would that count for university?"

I think it does :). Unless Maarit says no, singular only, then .... collect it! :D

[Maarit]

Yes, plurals count, too :).

[Kelly B]

Thanks!:-)

[Kelly B]

Found diary:-)

"Only" seven more to go.....;-)!

[MK]

woot! Go Kelly :)

[Blueberry]

Got rainbow and scaffolding today...2 different books. 3 left.
