Thanks a ton Sophie!

I found the book: "Six of Crows" by Leigh Bardugo. I haven't read it although it is so popular. Now I'll catch up.

Not sure what direction you are going in but what about Alas, Babylon?

[Jenny]

That one is on my TBR, too. I will see if page count works for direction. Thank you.

[Sammy]

Will be skipping 'Read a book with a cemetery on the cover'. Direction south

S - Snow Crash
K - The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
I - The Little Friend (C: Ida)
P - Time Regained by Marcel Proust

[Tricia]

My next task is to read a book with a green cover, but I'm not clear on how much green counts? Do any of these work? Or am I looking for a plain green cover?

Tricia, assume the normal guide: 50% cover should be the required colour.

[Lyndi (mibookobsession)]

I'm skipping my task to read a book shelved as lendable.
I need to go North.

S- The Attraction Distraction by Jenn McKinlay character name Sarah Novak

K- Last Girl Ghosted by Lisa Unger character name Bailey Kirk

Thank you! It's my first year doing challenges so I didn't know the rule. :)

What do you guys think? Is it green or blue? I'm having the hardest time with teal books! lol

If I have to choose between blue & green... left one I'd say blue, right one I'd call green

[♞ Pat]

tineye color extraction is usually pretty reliable. LOL If you get a 50/50 or relatively close ratio, then I'd say you're in the right ballpark for teal (more green), turquoise (more blue)

Tin Eye is calling the Louise Erdrich book 79% blue and the Kiss Quotient one 82% blue. So ::shrug:: you can pretend you didn't see this post and go on about your business.

Green covers are notoriously hard to come by.

I'm reading which ended up right at 70% green. Is it good? Who knows? Guess we will see!

Oh awesome! Thanks!! One on the left came up all blue - no green at all! The one on the right came up about 45% green but it turned out it was filtering out the main background color. Once I added that in, it was pretty much blue. So the hunt continues! ;)

I will check out the Water Keeper. I also found a few others but none available at my library at the moment. I was hoping to make it easy, but it just doesn't always work out. ;)

Yeah. When I'm hunting for a green cover, I just grab whatever I can find on the shelf. They just don't seem to be all that common.

[Cat]

being a UNO player (Perks hosts it with signups in January each year), I can turn to their handy-dandy lists:
use the genre search function for uno-green / uno-blue / uno-red / uno-yellow for books that have editions probably meeting the colour requirements :)

How do I sign up to get notified of the challenge next year?

[Cat]

For Perks / UNO, you'd need to be a member of the Perks group (https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...) - they send a broadcast message in January.

For our team challenges, this thread can be helpful: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/..., but we do also announce in the monthly broadcast messages too. Generally we have one challenge that starts shortly after UNO ends (so signups in April for a May start) and a second in the Autumn.

Thanks for answering questions Cat!

Everyone who has asked for a maze should now have received log in details from me. If you haven't please shout!

[Kylie]

Thank you Sophie!

My first task is to read a book from the best series list. Can I read a book that is 2nd in the series? I am pretty sure that is what it means but just want to double check :)

[Karen ♐]

I got my first task also and at the bottom of the page for the Maze, you can check a box if the title is N-Z. Does it have to be those letters or if you don't read a book starting with those letters, will it count? Also, does a, an, the count?

[Ashley]

I know I know, I'm LATE... but it is still something we can sign up for? .. because it looks FUN! If so, I'd love to sign up at Hard!

[Jenny]

Look closer. The page numbers and the letters denote the direction you will move. If it is only giving you one option, then you can only move in that direction, and follow those letters. If you have a book like "The Animal", you can use it that way, or "Animal, The".

If you want to move in a particular direction, you must complete the correct requirements. So if you want to move South, the title of the book you read needs to start with the second half of the alphabet. If you want to move east or west, title doesn't matter, but number of pages does. Does that help?

And if it starts with A, An, or The, you can use those as the first letter or not, depending on what helps you out. Up to you!

Hi!
If I can still sign up I would like to sign up for easy level. Thank you!

[Sammy]

Why does this maze keep trying to make me read YA books? just been given my second list of YA books to read from. I do have one on my tbr, but it's only 192 pages, so will have to wait until I have the time to spare for it (likely after TT, lol).

[Emma (M)]

I’m going to skip my task to read a book tagged hardcover on the first page. Going East - even pages

H - Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky - 600 pages - narrator: Mel Hudson - 2 June
E - A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine - 496 pages - ch: Eleven Antidote - 1 June
L - Lessons in chemistry by Bonnie Garmus - 392 pages - 21 May
P - Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir - 482 pages - 11 June

[Vaidehi]

I am surrounded by walls~~~~ (sobs sobs sobs)

Been there! so frustrating. Hopefully you'll find your way easily after that :)

[Vaidehi]

I hope so too... Because, after getting out of this dead end, there'll be two choices - east and west, and I hope there is no dead end somewhere along the road... I am going to read Wildfire for TT9 before I return here!

Yes, so long as the series is on the list, you can use any book in it.
