TART Challenge - Round 3 - Chase The Rainbow (4)

[Janeylou]

So how is everyone getting on with their pirate challenge , im finding the tasks in the FLOAB group a little bit harder than in others , but the mods do seem more flexible on what you can use..not as B & W
And no reviews to write , which is always a bonus 😄

[Amanda]

I feel like they're harder to plan for, but they sneak up in books. Like I believe that I don't have any books that fit and than half way through I stumble upon one of the things we need. All of the sudden every book I read has people fishing in it 🤣

[Janeylou]

I cant believe how many twins im finding after UNO

[Janeylou]

Ive read no e stop all afternoon and done NO jobs so may fi ish my second , but will post them both together later

[Amanda]

I just added my second one to my post. I'm working on my third, it is a longer one, but hopefully I will finish it and have time for another shorter one. I've looked at the other team going for second place and they are reading quite a bit.

Trio and Caipi do you think you will each finish one? Just so I know if I should keep trying to do more books, but I am happy with a 3rd place finish as well :)

[Caipi]

I'm nearly finished with a second book. But it's already 9:30pm here so I don't think that I'll manage a third one.

If we can sign up as a team then I'd love to join with one book a week.

[Trio]

I'm in!!! I'll do any challenge with you guys :)

[Amanda]

Woo! The gang's all back together again 😄 It caught my attention since it is one book a week and pretty open so we should be able to just find other books we have to read to fit if we want to! I can sign us all up if we want (probably in the morning since I really should go to sleep lol)

[Janeylou]

Great news girls ..🎉🎉

Id be careful what you say Trio 😄😄😄

[Amanda]

Signed us up!

Woohoo, I really miss you guys!
The ladies on my Pirates team are friendly but there's no chance of discussing which books could fit the tasks cause our book tastes are totally different. And I think the Pirate tasks are quite difficult.....

[Janeylou]

They are really difficult , we are lucky cos we can talk them over and find each other books that fit , but i would struggle if i was with just MF readers

[Janeylou]

The challenges in the FLOAB are harder than other groups

[Trio]

yes, my pirate group are all MF readers and have done the challenge before... they're a bit brusque and a skootch judgey, and make me feel like I'm a bother to them more often than not.

The challenge is pretty fun, but yes the tasks are hard - and for me, it just really unnecessarily complicated.

YAY, I'm glad we'll be back in touch :), thanks for organizing 🎉!

[Amanda]

That challenge is TOUGH and I don't know if I could do it without Janine and Filipa's help.

Also, a team challenge loses all its fun if your team doesn't feel friendly. That's so rough.
