Hi Unknown! This will be a common thread for every mini challenge you participate in. Use this thread to log your books for every monthly mini challenge.

August 2021: The Ultimate Disney Reading Challenge
Challenge Runtime: August 1st - August 31st
Type: Individual



Let’s take a reminiscent tour down the memory lane and relive the magic Disney created for us with its beautiful stories. Choose a Disney character you’d like to play and choose a Disney villain you’d like to beat and complete the Disney story by fulfilling the prompts with books. The prompts are divided into Easy, Intermediate, and Hard. You can repeat the prompts if you want but no more than 3 books will be counted per prompt.

Once you complete all the prompts of one character and villain of your choice, you can move on to play another character and beat another villain. The villain you choose does not necessarily have to be relevant to the character you choose. It’s all main characters against all villains!

Bonus characters will be introduced every week with a set of prompts specific to that character. You can choose any 1 prompt for this character and fulfill it to get extra points. However, you can read only one book for this special character. Please ensure you log the bonus prompts’ reads in this thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Watched the Movie?: Yes, I’ve watched Frozen.
Thoughts on the movie, if any: The movie is good but it’s over hyped. The major plot hole at the end bothers me and I think Elsa’s character development was a bit too sudden. Anna’s character arc and development was better.

Hi Mary!
The book you logged in for Rapunzel and Flynn won't be counted because it was read before the bonus character has been given.
Since the points you get depends on when you read the book, it should be read in the week the bonus prompts were posted to get 10 points, or after...

You can check if that book fits some other prompt of the characters you chose, wnd log for one of them.

October 2021: The Ultimate Candy Jar Reading Challenge
Challenge Runtime: Oct 1st - Oct 31st
Type: Individual




It’s Halloween month and we thought let’s combine that with our love for reading and voila! Here we are!
In this challenge, all you need to do is read books that fit the prompts of a particular candy and then that candy is yours to collect in your jar. At the end of the challenge, whoever has most candies, is the winner! Additionally, you could be alert for any extra candies you can grab by being on the lookout for the words “candy” or “chocolate” in the book you read. Because every time they are mentioned in your book, you have the chance to score extra!
Also, we’d wish for you to be able to taste as many candies as possible so, you cannot use the same prompt more than 2 times.


Candies up for grabs: (under spoiler)
(view spoiler)

Scoring:
For every prompt you complete, you get 3 points.
For picking the word candy/chocolate in the text:
1 time = 1 point
2 times = 2 points
3 times = 3 points
4 times = 4 points
5 or more times = 5 points

Review: 2 points extra
Page Count Scoring: For every book above 300 pages-
301-400: 2 points
401-500: 3 points
501-600: 4 points
601-700: 5 points
701 and above: 7 points
