Lulu (lulufritz) | 704 comments Anna wrote: "What is the mini challenge for this month? And what do you mean finishing a word"

Here is the link for the Mini Challenge

Task 1 needs books written by the authors of the teams names

Task 2 needs a book from the team names

Task 3 was a scavenger hunt for character names which came from the books the teams are named after.

Task 4 we is spelling out words like in Scrabble. The first word we chose to spell is monthly.

As we don't have any other letters available to start a new word it hasn't been decided on yet.

All of the spots for tasks 1-3 have been signed up for. So if you want to let us know what you are reading now we can look at the letters and how we want to use it in task 4 as long as you started reading it on or after March 15th

I think at some point you said you might have one that would work for a red card. I would have to go back through the thread to be sure though

What did you think of Eleanor & Park?

Our scrabble option is left to fill, any book(s) that fit the scrabble options of " e, r, t,s,y or n" would be extremely helpful.

I liked it alot. It was a really nice and sweet in its own way. I won't give anything away since Alissa and Lulu haven't read it ;).

Eleanor & Park won't work for any of the scrabble options ?

Sure I'll read something with one of those letters. Does it have to be the book name or ???

Eleanor and Park will definitely work for the scrabble options( Lulu's day to update, I'm playing with words/ options for our scrabble part.)

Normal "spell-it-out" rules apply. i.e. Letter needs to be the first letter in the book title, author first name or surname, character name or nickname, or setting. Articles (a/an/the) can be ignored in the book titles. For this spell-it-out, you can also use the first letter in the series name.

Edit-- Eleanor and Park is one of my favorite books!
