Allison Ann | 1245 comments I finished a couple of my tasks, so I claimed a couple of new ones. Also, I need the MPG Mystery because so far that's all my Meg Ryan hair book will work for. :D

Does anyone read erotica and want Task #20? It's about the only one I don't have something handy for.

Allison Ann | 1245 comments Nikk got one of the missing songs and I think I know the other one, so if anyone wants to look through my PM and see if you see any glaring errors? Thanks!

I have some that could work! I can take this task :)


message 408: by Celia (new)

Celia (cealcrest) I hesitate to claim a task since I haven't been reading as much the last couple weeks. I'll try to fit my books in to the mini as I go along, if that's okay.

(We are getting ready to start beekeeping this spring, so I've been devouring YouTube videos and websites/blogs on that during my usual reading time.)

It's definitely yellow. I always worry about using a location, because I think it might be challenged. Is Nottinghamshire the only location of the book? If not, I may do some switching around, but it will get used. I promise.

No problem Celia. I am jealous of your beekeeping. It's a someday dream of mine. If you finish a book and the task has already been claimed, please let me know anyway. We may be able to switch things around.

I'm currently reading the first book and I’m about half way through. So far, Nottinghamshire is the only location. I saw a review under the second book that mentioned it was set in Nottingham, so I just assumed it was.

Okay. After you read it, if there's some debate, I can switch this book and The Unhoneymooners so that 1 Yellow and 9 Yellow are both covered.

So I can read/ re-read these books

13- The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Chronicles of Narnia, #1) by C.S. Lewis
14- The Little Book of Hygge The Danish Way to Live Well by Meik Wiking
21- Nights of Rain and Stars by Maeve Binchy
I read this just a few days ago I think after the challenge started (?) One of the MC was a nurse
33- Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, #1) by Ransom Riggs


message 434: by Anubha (new)

Anubha (BooksFullOfLife, LifeFullOfBooks) (anubhaghoshal) Also for criminal organisations one would The Bad Beginning (A Series of Unfortunate Events, #1) by Lemony Snicket would this be okay since its not a particular organization but its a group of criminals who are repeated in every book in the series.


message 435: by Celia (new)

Celia (cealcrest) Hello! Miracle of miracles I just finished a book.

In A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier, the MC is recruited as a child soldier in a group that goes around pillaging the countryside. Would you say that makes the book eligible for the #4 mini task where the MC is involved in a criminal organization?

I would definitely say so. Does the group have a name or some way to describe them in the task list?

Allison Ann | 1245 comments Anubha

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe can't work for #13 because they go into another world, but not into a book. But it does work for Christian and is long enough if you are going to read it anyway.

The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well will work for Scandinavia

Nights of Rain and Stars will work for a nurse if you finished it after the challenge started. It was 3 a.m. on March 14th my time (CST).

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is good for black and white and I really really don't want to read the book I have set aside for that task, so you are welcome to it. :D

And Celia just finished one for criminal organization, so perhaps Lemony Snicket can work for something else?

Okay I can read it under Christian then, also then can The Neverending Story work for 13? I read Nights of Rain and Stars on 15. Fiona was the nurse. I can also read Leo Gray and the Lunar Eclipse for #38
And yea, A series of unfortunate events can work for MC bro and sis
