[~Melissa~]

I finished up my re-read and buddy read for - love Ty and Zane.

I can't count book 2 (I used a re-read recently for SS challenge) - I will be re-reading it though so I can stay in order,lol

[Cee]

Feed is one of my favourites Kristin! I love that series so much. I'll be reading Grant's newest book, Symbiont asap (: Enjoy your quiet time

[Kristie]

Hey!! Did you all see that there is a new challenge posted for the teams?? Looks fun.

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Cee]

Ooo, looks great! I'll see if I can find some books that fit the challenge

I have these Charlaine Harris books on my TBR which are perfect for the paint challenge:

[Kristie]

I'll take a look at my planned books when I get home tonight to see if they fit in anywhere too.

[~Melissa~]

I have a purple/pink book - depending on what you guys think


I'm also reading one that I should work for black



following colors as the main color (over 50%) of the cover that wold be over 50% black yes??

[~Melissa~]

Finding the missing elf

I have a book with Up in the title that I'm planning to read this month: All Fired Up

[Cee]

Melissa - I'd say that's pink. Maybe one of the Mods can give final judgement?

I just started World War Z, which has a white cover

[Jenn]

Was Big Little Lies a buddy read, or did we all just happen to be reading it around the same time.

Also I just finished . Would this work for purple? Or any other part of the new challenge?

[Logan]

Wheeee! New challenge!!

For my books coming up I've got lots of red, and also some black, purple, white, pink and blue that I think will work:
or .

For directions, they suggest "in" and I have that for .

[Logan]

One of the mods posted this link to help determine colors from images: http://www.coolphptools.com/color_ext....

I think we'll still want to double check, but this is a good place to start.

After I signed up, I realized there was no way my team would catch up so it kinda dampened my excitment for the challenge

[Logan]

We're down there in the trenches with you Ezi. It'll still be fun. :)

Agreed (: What's the cliché? It's the journey that counts

[Christine]

Fun mini-challenge! Here's what I see on my TBR that would work:

Find More Paint:

Check the List:

Fix Santa's Sleigh:
New Harnesses:
New Stuffing and Fabric:
New Rails
Paint Remover:

[Logan]

I've wanted to read Les Mis for ages. Love this list, Christine! You win the organized post points. ;)

Haha! Does our team get credit for those? ;-) I'll try to find more books that could work later this week.

Les Mis has been good so far, but a bit of a marathon. I'm hoping I'll finish it this month.

[[deleted user]]

What else do we need for the mini-challenge? I'll be in if we need more readers.

[[deleted user]]

Hey so I just finished .

If this cover fits anything, let me know, and I'll add it in there. (Sorry, I read the challenge rules, but kind of just skimmed and don't really know how I fit in since you guys have been discussing it. Want to help if I can, but also don't want to make things more confusing lol)

[Jenn]

Does the book need to be started after the 2nd or finished after the 2nd? I finished a book today that has a cover that is 90% purple.

[Kristie]

I definitely want to participate! I just haven't had a chance to see where my books fit in yet. lol I'll work on it now. :)

This will work - had to be at least 50% of the color :)

Big Little Lies was a Buddy read as long as you make comments with someone from another TT in the buddy read thread.

[Kristie]

What I plan to read during the challenge that fits:

Red-
Orange-
Blue-

I also have a skinny book, but I need to check if I have the 128 page version, which won't work for Santa's Sleigh, or the 122 page version, which will work - Christmas Jars.

I also have a chimney planned out, but I have one book that is short, so I have to see if it counts first. The books included are The Rosie Effect, Shift, The Hidden Ones, & The Importance of Being Earnest. If I can use Earnest, then I can make a chimney. Obviously, I won't be able to use the books for the color challenge, if I use them for the chimney.

If I cannot use Earnest for the chimney, does anyone else have a book that begins with T and ends with T that they want to read for the challenge?

[Kristie]

Logan - Do we already have some kind of spread sheet for the mini-challenge? Somewhere we can note where people sign up to read certain books for the challenge so that we know what is already going to be read and what we still need? I have a quick list if you need it. (Hope I'm not stepping on toes. Thought it might be helpful.)

PERFECTT!


I feel like The Gunslinger would fit the Black cover.

[[deleted user]]

Oh...also I'm seeing that any book we read between the dates will fit into the cover challenge, right? So we can kind of just stack 'em all up in there.

[Kristie]

Anything with a read date between Dec 2nd and Jan 30th would work. We want to try to get one of each color and try to fit in the other parts of the challenge too. The more we complete, the more points we get and there is a bonus if you complete them all.

[[deleted user]]

I am reading The Eye of the World which is exactly 800 pages. It should be done within the next week.

[Kristie]

Woot! Logan - Would you like me to start some updates to the list or do you have something else in mind already?

[Cee]

I think we're set on most of the quests - especially the colour one is pretty easy. I've found four titles that make a chimney together, and I guess I'll just read those? Kind of divide the quests amongst us? ^^

I've made:

DEAD EVER AFTER

[Kristie]

Excellent Celine. My chimney didn't work out. If it's ok with Logan, I'll add it to the list. :)

I am reading Cress which is a GR award nominee, so I'll sign up for that slot.

[~Melissa~]

I'm about halfway through my pink cover book

I'm about 40% in of listening to - could work for Black cover but I see Taryn's recent read works for that. It could also work for check the list as a bad boy.

[Kristie]

Kristin- I hope your son recovers quickly!

[~Melissa~]

I'm so sorry Kristin - hope his recovery is speedy!

[~Melissa~]

Oh I have another bad boy book

[Christine]

Oh no! I hope you get him home today and that he heals quickly.

[Cee]

Kristin, so sorry to hear that! Best wishes for you and your son.

I am reading a book now that would work for Find the Missing Elf , Up Close And Personal.

[Hilary]

I hope your son feels better soon!

[Kristie]

So, I started adding to the list in message # 731 just to get a little organized. (I hope you don't mind, Logan!) Please let me know if I added you for too many books for you or the wrong books or if I missed something that fits in somewhere else. We had a lot of duplicates, so I just added in a bunch. If you want changes or see where I can move a book to be able to add another read, please let me know. If you can't read something that you signed up for, please let me know that too so I can take it off the list and someone else can try to fill the slot. If you post here after you read a book in the challenge, I will update the list with books read, so we'll know how far along we are.

Currently, we still need:

1 book with direction words in the title (in, out, up, down, north, south, around, etc.)

1 book where the title contains the words good, bad or similar words or where the main character is a bad boy/girl or a good boy/girl

A green cover

[Kristie]

I left a message for the mods for these:


orange -
pink -

UPDATE: Mods said yes to orange and no to pink.

[[deleted user]]

Thanks Kristie! :)

[Hilary]

Would work for green? If so... I am reading it now.

[Kristie]

I think so!

[Hilary]

Ok that would be great, we can use that one too, unless someone else has a green covered book they are about done with... Because I just started this one yesterday :)

[~Melissa~]

FYI - the orange book was read by Taryn - not me : )
Bummer about the pink
