have you got something published in 1913 to pair it with for task 30.2 option a

book 2 of task 30.4 "a thing"


message 4: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (sarah1987) | 65 comments No I don’t is that the only one it will fit with?


message 5: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 7993 comments it fits as one of the books in 15.4 (ss in Miss) - you would need to pair it with a book that has a double vowel


message 6: by Bea (new)

Bea 5.10 Book of Choice
30.2 Option 2 if you could pair it with another book whose original language came from another language family


message 7: by Sarah (new)

Sarah (sarah1987) | 65 comments There is a set of books that I am wanting to read... if I provided the names of the books would someone be willing to help me work them into the challenge or am I not allowed to ask that? Thank you!


message 8: by Julia (new)

Julia (julia103) | 2078 comments Here are some more suggestions from the original request:

10.8 Don't Want to Miss a Thing was published in 2013 - this year includes 1 and 3.

20.6 Option 3: Book set at least 50% in England (I don't know if this applies, but the description mentions London and the Cotswolds)

20.7. This depends on which edition you read. Don't Want to Miss a Thing has 418 pages which would meet the criteria, but the other editions have different page numbers that don't fit.

25.3 Option 1: The word "don't" is in the lyrics
(This is a two-book task, so you need to match it up with something else)

Ash (essentiallyash) | 65 comments Two questions- Would Untamed be a book I can read for the challenge? And if so, where could I fit it?

Please be sure to LINK to the edition(s) you have as some tasks are cover specific or page # specific and different editions might not work.

Shanna_redwind | 654 comments I was in a hurry and didn't properly read a challenge, so I've ended up with How to Be a Bargain Junkie: Living the Good Life on the Cheap. I don't really want to look at it at the moment because I'm irritated with it for not fitting, though it isn't really the book's fault.

I've filled a lot of spots, but I'm wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions as to where it might fit, and then maybe I can shuffle things around a bit.

Marie (UK) (mazza1) | 2845 comments 20.1 option 3 is the banner yellow enough?
20. 5 option 3 KA is the word FRIGGATRISKAIDEKAPHOBIA

thats all i can see i cant find an edition with page numbers so you cant use it for anything with page requirement


message 33: by Shanna_redwind (new)

Shanna_redwind | 654 comments Never mind. I don't think there is a print edition. I was really in a hurry I guess. Ah well, at least I know how to be a bargain junkie.


message 34: by Shanna_redwind (last edited Aug 17, 2018 07:33AM) (new)

Shanna_redwind | 654 comments Thank you Marie. I can use one of your suggestions if I'm able to get the separately listed print edition combined with the audio edition.
