I did. I'm going to check out the second one. Thanks for the recommendation :)

[Laura]

You are welcome! I'm enjoying this series but I love her Fatal series with Nick and Sam. Sam is a Lt. Still romance but lots of police mystery. If you like that too then you have to check out her other series!

Completed Everything I Never Told You. Man was that one hell of a book. It was awesome. But awfully sad.

[Luna]

Hopefully it can be used for something ☺

Can someone explain the mini challenge a little simpler pleaseeee. I am confused.

Kushmi wrote: "Hopefully it can be used for something ☺"

I'm sure we can use it for something

[Lulu]

Kushmi wrote: "Can someone explain the mini challenge a little simpler pleaseeee. I am confused."

So right now for the mini we need books started today that will work for parts 3 and 4.

#3 is the scavenger hunt so we are looking for a specific name in the books we are reading. The list is : here. An easy way to do this is to read one of the books from the team names.

Books from the team names:
Stardust
Vampire Academy
Pride and Prejudice
The Mysterious Affair at Styles
The Princess Bride
Moon Called
Cut & Run
Wuthering Heights
The Shining
Naked in Death
The Book Thief
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
The Hunger Games
A Man Called Ove
Magic Bites
Angels & Demons
The Martian
Storm Front
The Girl on the Train
The Fault in Our Stars
Because of Miss Bridgerton
Confessions of a Shopaholic
Me Before You
Halfway to the Grave

For #4 Scrabble we are using a letter per book to spell out words for points. We are looking for specific letters but there are so many options for where we can choose the letters from that we shouldn't have a problem using a book that you pick. If we need a specific letter we will post it. Right now we are working on the word Harmony and we need a, r, m, o, and n.

Are you still working on Inkheart?

Kushmi
yes you can either pick one of the books on the list or pick your own. For #3 it is the character name that matters. So as long as it meets the regular uno rules and we have not already used the name you should be good.

For #4 the letter needs to be the first letter in the book title, author first name or surname, character name or nickname, or setting. We will be doing more than one word so I wouldn't worry too much about your letters but if you would like to read for a specific letter make sure you let us know as only certain letters can be used. (we will let you know if a book doesn't work)

Idk if this is helpful or if I am confusing you more. If you post what you want to or decided to read we can help you figure out where it goes.

Are you liking Inkheart? Is it well paced or a little slow?

Okay I will do that Lulu. :)

Its really helpful Lulu, thanks alot for taking the time to explain it to me :)

Actually liking it a lot, not slow paced at all, hasn't been since the start, I'm not a big fan of books that are slow at the beginning, they make me bored. So really enjoying this, it's just I don't normally read books with over 500 pages. :(

[Luna]

I have the audio book for Eleanor And Park, will that be useful ? I was planning on listening to it next.

[Laura]

Yes it will work for the "r" in the mini challenge.
