[Trisha, lives on coffee]

just to double check,
for movie #1

is book off limits?

[Gisbelle]

Yes sorry. I didn't know there was a book.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

No, no worries :)
it's a book based on the movie but I thought it would be off limits. :)

thanks!! I love this challenge! I'm off digging through my HUGE TBR! LOL

I LOVE the schedule. That should alleviate some problems.

Is there a sign-up thread for this one yet?

[Gisbelle]

Not yet. I will set it up tomorrow.

[Vicki]

Okay, thanks, Gis. :o) I would have known that if I had the right date in my head. LOL Don't ask me why I was thinking today is the 21st. LOL

[Gisbelle]

lol it happens :)

[Vicki]

Yes, in my case ALL the time! LOL

[Gisbelle]

:P

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

Can the names be spelled differently and still count?

[Gisbelle]

Different spelling is acceptable.

[Jessie (Saffity)]

Quick question for participation that I didn't think about till my hubby pointed it out. I'm going to be on vacation from March 22 to 29 and will miss the movie reveal on the 25. I'll be back with enough time to read for the week, I just won't get any quick read bonus points.

Would this be considered letting my team down? Because if so I'll drop before we start and just play from the sidelines.

[Gisbelle]

No worries about that. Mostly we do it just for fun. Once each team is assigned, you can discuss with the members about that. But I'm sure they'd be okay.

For the John Tucker Must Die movie and the category of title, does the title only have to include one of the three things or does it have to include a person's name and either must or die? I'm just curious because there was a ; instead of a :, and I just wanted to make sure,

[Gisbelle]

One is enough

[Mandiann]

will you take sophie instead of sophia?

[Ashlyn]

Does toiletries count for toilet?

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

In regards to the new movie. What would count as food for plot?

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

Anything where the characters bake, cook, or even blog about food.

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

KK. TY.

Also do manga count or only books?

Edit: Sorry. Last question. Can you only read one book or can you read multiple books. :)

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

I would like it to be books. As to how many books for now just one. Depending on how many players actually participate some teams may need the extra help.

Have you posted the groups yet? If so, where can I find them?

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Vicki wrote: "Have you posted the groups yet? If so, where can I find them?"

Teams aren't made till the 27th. She posted the movie early because some people have difficulty finding books on short notice. :)

OH, OK, thanks, Bookbuyer.

[Katty]

so from what I read in instructions. do we have to read a book and then watch a movie while the challenge is going on? i got a little confused. sorry.. im dumb sometimes lol

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

No. I pick a movie then based off the movie I pick I give you things to find in a book. An example is if I pick a Romance movie you will get 1 point for your book being a Romance book.

[Vicki]

You are not dumb! We ALL have had confusion over various challenges and explanations, which is why it's so awesome that we have patient mods and others in the group who explain things too. I know I've had my fair share of confusions! LOL

[Ashlyn]

Does Alexander count for Alex?

[Katty]

THX! hannah and vicky hehe!

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

Ashlyn wrote: "Does Alexander count for Alex?"

Yes because most of the time that's what the characters real name is anyways.

[Mandiann]

Is this blue enough to work for blue cover?

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

Yes.

[Tiffany]

so when does this challenge start when the movie is posted or on friday dec 2??

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

You can start your books on Dec. 1.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yay! We get to start our books today!

I hope everyone likes their pick!!

[Vicki]

This is one of the most exciting challenges to me. I LOVE it when there is a concerted effort to find the best (highest points) books. Not everyone goes for the highest, but it's fun to look for them. I'm not very good at searching for a book that fits the categories, as sometimes I spend HOURS but find nothing that fits too well. But I do love this one! It also challenges me to get my book read fast.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol I agree Vicki!! I'm so glad you like this one!

It really is a challenge to try to find the best book - the mix between something you want to read that also has some points associated!

LOL I hope we like ours!

[Mandiann]

I love that we actually found a high pointer this round. I have started it (am about 1 chapter in) and while it was a book I was dreading, it isn't horrendous as of yet.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I've been dreading starting it all day! I'm soo glad to see it isn't as awful as we thought :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Hannah,

Will "Holiday" work for "Holidays" or does it need to have the S on the end :)

thanks!

What is this in reference to?

[Vicki]

Trisha, never mind. LOL

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

Holidays will work.

[Mandiann]

I take it back Trisha. i have read worse stories but thw writing is so awkward and weird that i am having a hard time. 25% and have started skimming a bit.

oh no! lol
okay, so it's about as bad as I assumed......I'm tucking in, getting ready to start :{

[Mandiann]

I maintain my previous comment, it's not horrendous, but it is bad. The story and characters aren't bad but the writing (in my opinion) is pretty awful.
