Gisbelle | 25787 comments This folder is for our group new monthly challenge, Time Travel Challenge. This is NOT a team challenge.

Here is how this challenge works:

description Members need to sign up first
description To sign up, the members need to roll the die
description Members then post the number they got (1 to 6) to determine their group.
description When the sign up period is over, each group will be given a historical event along with the options for them to pick the book.
description To complete this challenge, each member need to read at least ONE book.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please post below.

As to a historical event. Is it going to be limited to a specific country? Or is it world wide?

What do you mean by rolling a die to get a group? Does that mean there a 6 specific events or countries to choose from?

How specific will the historical even be?

The last rule is a bit open ended to me. Does it mean that each person in the group reads one book. Or one person in the entire group does?


Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) As to suggestions. Maybe you can have an option of if you want to have a historical event specific to your country. Or if you want one that is specifically not from your country? Would that be too difficult?

Gisbelle | 25787 comments It's not a team challenge, so one person reads one book.

The events are from around the world.

No limit to the number of participants.

KK. I realized that after I re-read the rules and changed one of the questions but I forgot the last one. Thank you. ^-^

As there might be people from different countries joining the challenge, I think it will be difficult for me. Besides, I will prepare the events before the sign up starts.

KK. :)


Anna 'Bookbuyer' (bookbuyer) Last question. This seems to be a limited sign up time but it doesn't state what that is. Is it today (Dec 12th) to the end of December or less?


message 9: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments I'll post the date when we start the sign up :)

Anna (Adventures with a Book Nerd) (bookish_anna) So, you need to read a book that goes with the options AND the historical event? Or just the options?


message 14: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments The options. 2 options for each event.

Gisbelle | 25787 comments :)

I can upload one image at a time on Pinterest, so it's really annoying.

Lindsay♫SingerOfStories♫ (lindsaysingerofstories) | 183 comments I missed the sign-ups (just now saw the challenge...drat!). Can I volunteer to be an alternate if someone drops? Or will that not matter at all so I just have to watch for next time around?

Danella Virtue | 17 comments I must be slow. I have no idea what book I'm supposed to read? I rolled a 2 and am on the historical event #2

I just added the events and the options. Sorry for the delay. I was sick.


Anna (Adventures with a Book Nerd) (bookish_anna) Can you listen to an audio book to complete the challenge? Or do you have to read the book?


message 28: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Audiobooks are acceptable, Anna.
