Each level is a different book right? Like it's not we have to find one book that fills each thing, it's one book per level?
I don't usually do it this way, but will probably be easiest since there are so many categories.Titanic

Yes. Each level must be a different book.
I made a list for books with board game pieces on cover, because I was surprised there wasn't one already. Didn't have time to add a lot of books though.https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...

**All participants in the Instagram and Trivia challenges will be added when Courtney is on her computer/back from her trip.:)**
Would
count for "Jumanji: Level Two: Dystopia involving gaming"?I am unsure if its counts for Dystopian, i would count it since it takes place in "the future" where everyone more or less lives through/with a computer game but i thought i asks before deciding on my TBR :)
I have no idea for which level i am going right now, or if i am mixing and matching, or how many books i will be managed to read in June at all. But i just tried to fill out as many points as i could from books available to me to either by owning, having them for review or through the library :)
Titanic
Level One: A ship/boat
(There is a ship in the flag-thingy)
Level Three: A book about the Titanic
Jumanji
Level One: Game board/game pieces
Level Two: Dystopia involving gaming
Level Three: Book set in a jungle
A Beautiful Mind
Level One: Math symbols/Numbers
Groundhog Day
Level One: Clock
Level Three: Repeated day story
Finding Nemo
Spirited Away
Level Three: A book with dragons
Jaws
Level One: Frightening/Unnerving
or
Level Two: Horror novel
or a shorter stephen king have a few to choose from for that. Level Three: Mystery/Horror/Crime book set in New England
would fit here as well (i know that i can "only" count it once if i read this but it fits into different categories anyways and i can decide where i want to put it once i actually read it). West Side Story
Level One: Cityscape
Level Two: Modern interpretation of a classic
interpretation of
Level Three: Modern interpretation of Romeo and Juliet
Back to the Future
Level One: Car
Level Two: Time Travel
(can i count this when i had read 100 pages before June if a book has 1000 pages if i only "count" the ones that i read in June?) If not i need some recommendations, please ;)Level Three: Book published in the ‘80s: once again some kind of Stephen King book probably
That Thing You Do
Level One: Band/Musical Instrument
Read for this:
Would Legend count as orange and white? It's silver and gold so it kind of works?Also does anyone have any suggestions of books set in a jungle or dealing with tv/news show?

For a book dealing with tv/news show you could try this one
It's nice and short and has been approved by Courtney. The only other ones I can think of that are vaguely tv related are
and
For the jungle the most obvious one that comes to mind is
I found these two lists that might have something on it that works for jungle for you. :D

Dawnie: Yes, your Outlander book is fine even though you've read a 100 pages. Just mentione that I approved it when you post your review. :)Kylara: Yes, you can count Legend. As far as news/tv, let me look over some of the things I found.

Thanks Courtney :)
The challenge has officially started (several hours ago)! Good luck everyone. We still have a few surprises for the month, so be ready!The first day of Trivia has now been posted: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
I posted on the buddy thread, but is anyone interested in buddy reading The School for Good and Evil or The Unexpected Everything with me sometime this month?
I'd read Unexpected everything if we did it later in the month
About to start
, a repeating day story
I could do it later. I don't actually have it yet. When would work for you?
Ok. Let's plan for that then. I'll create us a buddy thread later.
I feel so bad because I don't have a plan for this challenge and I'm just going to read what ever and see where it fits. Lol
Thanks, the surgery itself wasn't bad but I hate the fact that I can't use my foot right now.
That would be hard. :( How long should recovery be?I'm just reading. I don't have a plan for any challenge. We'll see if I get through many books.

I'm too much of a planner to do that. For the loose challenges it's fine but for a more specific challenge like the movie challenge I HAVE to plan. :/
I just got 9 points on the Trivia Challenge! :D
Great job.:)I think the recovery will be about five weeks.
Jackie wrote: "Great job.:)I think the recovery will be about five weeks."
5 weeks is a long time to not be able to use your foot. Hope it feels better soon Jackie!
I think I will not be using it for two and then I will be in a boot for the other three weeks. Still, it's pretty hard since I can only put weight on one.
I've hurt my ankle and barely been able to use it in the past, so I can only imagine. I can't stand not being able to move around. Hopefully the boot will be better.
Same, I want to move around and do things but I can't. Thanks for the well wishes everyone.
Jackie, my sister and I plan to read The Truth About Forever starting tomorrow. So if you wanted to do a buddy read for that, we could. We'll be reading it rather slowly (probably finishing in 11 or 12 days), so you wouldn't have to start when we do. That's open for anyone, by the way. I just know Jackie was wanting to read that. :)
Let me get the book. I will let you know once I have it
Great. we'll be going slow, so I can discuss it with you whenever.
I've started two books for the challenges.
and
I'm hoping to use Poison Study for 'Jungle' but I think it probably won't count so I'm also looking for another spot for it. Mistress of Rome was suppose to be boat/ship but now that I've seen a close up of the cover I think it's not going to count either. :/
The boat cover was a different cover than I thought it was. I can still use Mistress of Rome for boat. :)
Awesome! It's nice when that happens. :)
Courtney wrote: "Awesome! It's nice when that happens. :)"Yes it is. :)
The trivia post today was a lot harder. The only one I felt confident of was the cover portion. :(
They'll probably alternate somewhat on difficulty. I'm about to check your message!
Courtney wrote: "They'll probably alternate somewhat on difficulty. I'm about to check your message!"KK. I hope I got at least two. But I'm expecting I only got one. :/
Yes, today's post was definitely a little harder.
