Links to Old Challenges

- Cool Numbers 2020 Round #1 ~ 01/01-24/2020
-

[Em Lost In Books]

please explain the rules for challenges in post 2 and 3. :D

[Soo]

Cool Numbers & 42 are themed Challenges.

Like:
3's the Charm - Each book has to be part of a trilogy.
13's Double Trouble - Books have to be scary, have a costume, a prank, something to do with the number 13 or about being unlucky, etc. Maybe twins causing havoc. =)

The number 42 is suppose to be the answer to the meaning of life. For that challenge, the books have to either have the number 42, character finds the meaning of life, story is about dream come true, etc.

I have other numbers that I like but the challenges would get too long. Hahah!

I decided to make up some other challenges because one of the books I'm reading doesn't fit in either Bingo or the Covers.

[Em Lost In Books]

Interesting stuff. I will steal few once I am done with my personal challenges. :)

All the best!

[Soo]

WooHoo =)

[Virginie]

I like your challenges for 2020, especially the Science Fiction Love :p

[Soo]

Gotta use good ideas! =D
