Potent..."
Wow this is such an interesting task! Like really... EXACTLY 2 even numbers?? I would have gone crazy finding a book~

What does "overdrive" mean? I found the list of books tagged overdrive but if anyone has a description of what this task entails that would be much appreciated :)

Overdrive is a service that provides downloadable books and audiobooks to libraries for patrons to check out.
This task works like every other task. Find a book with "overdrive" on the first page of tags going in the direction you want to go and read it.

I've done it already two tasks ago and don't feel like reading another one right now.
Direction: East - even number of pages
H - Hennessee in Upside Down (258 pages)
E - Ethan Day's As You Are (200 pages)
L - The Lion and the Crow (146 pages)
P - Prince Caspian (240 pages)

Direction: South
H- The Rules of Magic- (ALN: Hoffman)
E- Year One - (C: Eric)
L-Red Lily- (C: Logan)
P- The Name of the Wind- (AFN: Patrick )



My task is to read a book where a character has a surprising and unexpected talent.
Would it work if they've known about their talent but it is unique to them? I was looking at reading White Hot Kiss.
Otherwise, would a cozy mystery where the person who solves the case isn't a detective so their surprising and unexpected talent is solving crime?

E - Bound in Darkness - Cynthia Eden (Author) 30/9/22
L - Her Guardian Angel - Larissa Ione (Author) 2/10/22
P - Mr. Ultra Mega Love - Mimi Jean Pamfiloff (Author) 30/9/22


Thanks Steven. I'd probably just do that.

And this way, if you do decide to come back, you still have your progress! :D

Yes, the 4 books have to spell out either HELP or SKIP, and all 4 books have to move in the direction you need to go (all 4 having an even number of pages, all 4 having titles starting with N-Z, etc.).

Thanks Steven! I think the book I just finished meets that criteria.


She will! She's had a rough month or two, and she's a mod with another team challenge going. I'm sure she will check in again soon :D

If it at that position on the list when you pick to read it, you can go ahead and use it for the task.

Thanks Steven for keeping everyone on track and acting as an extra pair of eyes on here for me!

I'm happy with this definition if it is a surprising talent to you or to other people within their fictional world.

Sorry you're feeling overwhelmed with all the challenges. I end up going boom or bust with them too.
Absolutely just pause with the maze for as long as you need/want to. It should still be there whenever (and if) you want to come back to it.

Argh! Hope the task to get back out again wasn't too bad.

Sorry!! All set up for you (and everyone else who has asked for a maze). When you sign in, it should be at the top of your screen.

Thanks!

I am not sure what interconnecting families means. Any suggestions?

May be it is like that show "Modern Family" where there are so many connections between them... Lol


Keli, I got this task again, and this time I am going for The Virgin Romance Novelist. Last time I read The Lightning-Struck Heart and it was funny like hell~ Thanks for the suggestions



Thanks Tricia but I have read that book already. The thing is I have Book Loves to be returned to library soon. So I thought, I will read it for this task. But it's alright. I think I will get The Virgin Romance Novelist soon from my Library.
