Badge 3, Book 43

2. Card 1

5. Pages: 432 pages Kindle version
6. Summary: Read a book with a title that contains either "cursed" or "child".

I mostly liked the book. It seems odd to say that when the topic is tragic, but for the most part I felt it was pretty well written although toward the end I found it dragging a bit.

Okay, I finished Badge 3. I'll list the books in their proper order to report them, but how do I go about correcting the individual Badge/Book numbers? A lot of the Badge 3 books are actually Badge 4s.

[Cherie]

Awesome, Roz.

You do not have to "change anything", if you mean on your individual book posts. Just apply for Badge 3 and Janice will move everything not part of your badge three compliance over to Badge 4 in her spread sheet.

If you are going to post any more books, you will count them as for Badge 4. She should tell you how many books she has moved over, when she is done with her update.

[Roz]

Thanks Cherie. I don't think I'll deliberately read toward Badge 4. I don't think I'll get anywhere near finishing it.
Just biding my time until Janice gets around to let us know about next year's challenge.

Well, I managed to finish 3 Badges for this year's Trivia Challenge. I had a great time doing it, reading some wonderful books I probably wouldn't have come across on my own. I think that's the wonderful thing about these challenges, whether they're the yearlong or just a monthly one. We have to find books that fit a criteria, not just the latest best seller or a book from an author we know. A book with a train on the cover, or a big eye, maybe set it a specific country or a time period. I've still got several that were slated for future badges (4 and 5) and I'll try to fit them into next year's challenge(s). But in the meantime, Thank you Janice for this past year. I had a wonderful time!
Looking forward to next year 😊
