Lost in a Good Book Maze Showing 901-950 of 1,660

Maybe I’m reading into it too much, but my first interpretation was “a head has eyes, nose, mouth, etc so that means multiple body parts” but even a finger could be said to have multiple body parts. 🤔🤔

[Cat]

Yeah, if it was a team challenge I'd expect lots of people crying foul, but for an individual challenge, I personally would be more relaxed, though of course Sophie could come storming in asking how very dare I!

(and of course, when a serial killer splits a body into parts it's usually head / hands / feet / arms / legs / torso, so that would be my other counter argument!)

[Sophie, The other one]

My interpretation of rules for an individual challenge is very relaxed. For this one, Cat's serial killer justification works for me!



Everyone waiting for mazes etc, sorry for the delay! I'll have some computer time without children on Wednesday so I'll get it sorted then if I haven't done before.

[Steven]

Lol!! The serial killer justification is priceless!!

Thanks Cat and Sophie and all those who suggested ideas. :)

Here's a couple more suggestions for you:

I posted a skip request. But I still see the task on my maze. This is the first time I've skipped a task. How does this usually work? Can someone help me?

[Tricia]

You use one of the titles that you posted as the book to fulfill the task. Then you'll move in your maze.

Thanks Tricia... That was pretty simple! :)

Can someone remind me what can be used for the SKIP post? I assume Title and AFN/ALN, but what about Characters? I tried to search through the posts, but I must keep missing it.

It's in message 1:

If you are stuck, you can spell out either HELP or SKIP using only books that work for the direction you want to go and post the spell out in the thread including the task you are skipping in the post. You can then use one of the books to complete the square in the maze.

(*)Spell-it-Out Rules
Using the first letter in the book’s title, the first letter of the series name, the first letter in the author’s first or last name, or the first letter of a character’s first, last, or nick-name, or the first letter in the audio book narrator's first or last name.
If you are reading a translated version, you can also use the first letter of the translator's first or last name.

As always, if the first letter of a title starts with ‘A’, ‘An’, ‘The’, etc., you may use the first letter of the second word in the title to spell out your chosen word.

[Ashley]

Thank you! I guess message 1 was just too easy! I didn't even think to look there

Ugh, my tasks keep turning up awful! Now, with all these ARCs to read, I get "read a book whose author died 5+ years ago." LOL

Very much unhelpful with the arcs.

I think I either need to focus on books for the tasks here are getting better at skipping stuff. Moving v slowly.

I have not moved in weeks! I have been completely distracted with books to finish other challenges now that the year is ending. And then the Read Harder Challenge for 2023 was announced and I've spent every day since researching books instead of reading any. lol

[Sammy]

My maze is on hold for a few weeks while I try to hit my tbr closet clearing goal. The only book on my tbr from the list my current task wants me choose from doesn't qualify for that one, lol.

[Steven]

Sophie, I could totally skip… but I already have to back track really far. If I have to read four books for each move, I’ll never finish! Lol

Though I’m not gonna lie, part of me hates that I’m not trying to reveal the whole maze. X)

[Steven]

Ellie, did you make sure all four of your SKIP books met the criteria of the direction you wanted to go? Don’t forget that have to match that!

[Lyndi (mibookobsession)]

My task is to read a book with the phrase "have a kitten" in the text. I found with "have kittens". Does that count?

[Sophie, The other one]

Lyndi (mibookobsession) wrote: "My task is to read a book with the phrase "have a kitten" in the text. I found with "have kittens". Does that count?"

Personal preference! Some people wouldn't allow themselves to use it, others would say it's a reasonable substitution. Where this is an individual challenge, I'm ok with a more generous interpretation of the prompts.

[Sammy]

For me personally it would all depend on how it's used. I'd take the prompt to mean "have a kitten" as in "being upset", so I'd look for a corresponding meaning, even if the wording was slightly changed (after all, plurals are normally allowed in challenges!).

But that may just be my Britishness coming through. The original prompt maker may have intended a completely different meaning, lol.

[Kristie]

That’s funny, Sammy! I never would have thought of it like that. Here in the US, we would say “Don’t have a cow.” Though you don’t hear the phrase often.

[Sammy]

We have the cow one too, lol.

[Laila Jane]

I have been sitting on my task for MONTHS not realizing there was a skip option 🤦🏻‍♀️

Skipping: Read a book that is in the "Best Dystopian and Post-Apocalyptic Fiction" Listopia List

Sammy wrote: "We have the cow one too, lol."

I've heard 'don't have kittens' before too, but it's not common at all. lol If you said it, I'd know what you meant, but I wouldn't have thought of it on my own. I love the way different people read the tasks.

I have several books talking about actual kittens, but in the book I mentioned it's used for being upset. That's also the way I interpreted the task.

"...my brother's about your age. I'd have kittens if he ran away from home."
Have kittens? She liked that expression.

Thanks for the help!

[Sammy]

Looks good to me! I'd definitely go for it personally :D

[Sophie, The other one]

I'd be using that as well.

[Louise]

Help I need a book with a song in it with a title that starts N-Z
