The Magic Number Challenge July 2018
I was hardcore, back when I was in college. Now, that I work full time, I’m more laid back

If I could convince my hubby to do so I might! But a lot would also pend finding a place with good sunlight year round. I go through severe seasonal depression (I actually have UV lights for overcast days) so that could be an issue in winter.

There is no failing in the MMC. Just fun and competitiveness.

Winter here doesn’t usually go lower than 12 C

BC might be good. It's the warmest province. Don't know about the sunniest.
Tati wrote: "Winter here doesn’t usually go lower than 12 C"That's fine! My ish is 10-20 depending on sun and wind. :D
I tend to be more hardcore. I am fairly competitive but I firstly like things to be fun and friendly. Although compared to some people I am mellow sometimes.

Thanks! I just checked it and it looks really fun (and cutthroat)! I can't believe I missed the Harry Potter one last year. If only I'd been more active ‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚

But what will she be doing instead is the question?
Jamie wrote: "I tend to be more hardcore. I am fairly competitive but I firstly like things to be fun and friendly. Although compared to some people I am mellow sometimes."I bounce between fiercely competitive and mellow. lol.
You could winter here and summer somewhere else lol. I guess you wouldn’t be too happy with the average temp of 30 C we get in the summer

No. We have a swamp cooler which is normally great but useless in triple digits. Just makes things muggy.

We tend to get a Harry Potter challenge of some kind maybe once a year? We might get something like it again for MMC or for Halloween. :)
Oh, I melt too and wonder why I haven’t moved to a colder place

Even the word Swamp Cooler makes me think muggy. O.o

We never get any snow in my state, which is just sad IMO
Tati wrote: "Oh, I melt too and wonder why I haven’t moved to a colder place"We have plenty of cold we can share! lol.

Cover based challenges are always really hard for me. I just struggle with it! If it was easy, say like a drink, then that's nothing! But if it's something specific, then... welp, then I cry >.<
Bookbuyer wrote: "Tati wrote: "Oh, I melt too and wonder why I haven’t moved to a colder place"We have plenty of cold we can share! lol."
Yes, share with Tati and I!
Tati wrote: "We never get any snow in my state, which is just sad IMO"Snow looks pretty for a while but mostly it just piles and piles up till it's taller than you.

I am decent at covers. I remember that someone figured out a hack to find the covers one year which is why Sarah had to change how she posted the pics. It wasn't technically cheating but it was skirting the line.
Bookbuyer wrote: "Tati wrote: "We never get any snow in my state, which is just sad IMO"Snow looks pretty for a while but mostly it just piles and piles up till it's taller than you."
Snow I love but when it compacts, freezes and become blocks of ice that I don't like.
Jamie wrote: "Bookbuyer wrote: "Tati wrote: "Oh, I melt too and wonder why I haven’t moved to a colder place"We have plenty of cold we can share! lol."
Yes, share with Tati and I!"
Once winter comes I will send all snow to you. I will keep some of the cold though as I am greedy lol. Oooh. You can have the hail as well. :P
Jamie wrote: "Bookbuyer wrote: "Jamie wrote: "Bookbuyer wrote: "Tati wrote: "It’s winter here. At least, as wintery as it gets in a tropical country. My winter is your summer. Last year, I went to Toronto in Jun..."Exactly! I sometimes have my window open in the winter so I can feel cool!

Yea I think it was some kind of google image search or something that killed it.

My struggle was when it was a less popular cover for a different edition of a book.

*shudders* That just sent me back to in winter when I have to scrape the car. Or even worse push it because of the stupid snow/ice. -.-

Yup. You could click on the image and it would send you to the source if I remember correctly. So she had to post it differently somehow where you couldn't click on the pic.

Nope! no hail!! I reject your hail!!

I suck at those. :/
I just try to google as much as possible. Rack my brain and when I have lost all patience give up.
I'll happily give all my snow away. It was still snowing up til April this year, so I think I had enough of the cold for now o(*´д`*)o

Well, safe to say I'm not doing anything cover based anytime soon :p
Guiana wrote: "I'll happily give all my snow away. It was still snowing up til April this year, so I think I had enough of the cold for now o(*´д`*)o"Snow yes. Cold need.

I also reject any freezing rain! That hurts as it can feel like mini paper cuts plus when it gets on things like your car if can freeze your locks so you can't get in. Nasty stuff.
Jamie wrote: "Bookbuyer wrote: "Jamie wrote: "Bookbuyer wrote: "Jamie wrote: "Bookbuyer wrote: "Tati wrote: "Oh, I melt too and wonder why I haven’t moved to a colder place"We have plenty of cold we can share!..."
Shun all things but cold!

Me @ your hail offer
I love cold rain though! It hurts and it really is nasty, but then it's an excuse for me to not go to school. I should feel guilty for saying that but nah :p

Bad weather is only awesome when you are in school. lol. :P
I loooove cold wind on my face!! Rain not so much. It ruins my day when rain makes me wet, especially my hair

Yeah, it's a struggle, but then you can do one of those movie scenes in the rain (uh, maybe dancing or just emoting?) that somehow look really cool (●o’∪`o)ノ―♪`*.+

All I imagine is wet straggly hair that then gets super poofy. :(
