And if you need something weird like a lgbt tattooed sporting a pink mohair dinosaur with feathers shifter character... the hard level is the place to be!

Very much deliberate, lol.

I actually read a book yesterday with that exact characteristics, soooooo, I just have to say... bring it!

I spent years torturing challenging members to expand their reading horizons... so... nothing you throw my way is undeserved

Ver..."


I have a book called insanity on my kindle. It has a Alice in Wonderland retelling feeling. Maybe it's time for me to read it.

As a reward for not being too impatient, you can all start a little bit early.

The link is also in the 2nd message of the thread. If anyone else wants to sign up, post here and I'll get your account set up as soon as I can.

Apologies if I have missed anyone.


message 81: by Ilsen (new)

Ilsen | 28 comments The part where it says reader? Does that mean ourselves? Just making sure.


message 82: by Sophie, The other one (new)

Sophie (drsophie) | 5684 comments Mod
Yes it does. These might get reused for a group challenge, at which point that space will be more needed.


message 83: by The other Sandy (new)

The other Sandy | 282 comments Is there a minimum page requirement for this challenge?


message 84: by Sophie, The other one (new)

Sophie (drsophie) | 5684 comments Mod
100 pages

I'll dig out the spell out rules etc as well. Most of the rules are the same as for our monthly challenges.


message 85: by Ilsen (new)

Ilsen | 28 comments Mine says South but it says the instructions for West. Do I have to do both or just one of them?


message 86: by Sophie, The other one (new)

Sophie (drsophie) | 5684 comments Mod
Follow the instructions on the website! It's entirely possible than some things have been jumbled in translation between me and my husband!


message 87: by Mary (new)

Mary Hangen | 93 comments So, I've looked a lot of places for rules about magna and poetry books...can any tell me if they count or if there's a special rule for them?


message 88: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) | 5272 comments I'd like to try the medium level, please. :)


message 89: by Sophie, The other one (new)

Sophie (drsophie) | 5684 comments Mod
Manga and poetry are fine so long as they meet the other rules.
The below bits will be added to the 1st post when I get to a laptop (unless another mod gets there first).

Re reads are allowed (6 month rule)
Page count = minimum 100 pages
Any format is allowed

(*)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.

All done! Have fun

*Dawn (x1f4dadawnx1f4da) | 191 comments I'm sorry, Sophie. I know you are swamped, but my login information is not working. I've entered it just as you had it in the message you sent me. Thank you. (Take your time.)


message 94: by Teri-K (new)

Teri-K | 4 comments I think I did my first task wrong. I thought I was supposed to pick one of the three options. Having entered it and seeing how it looks, I'm guessing I was supposed to read a book that fit the first task given and either of the directions listed, too.

Sorry for the foul up. Do you want to reset me or just have me go read a book that does work correctly and go from there?


message 95: by Sophie, The other one (new)

Sophie (drsophie) | 5684 comments Mod
Sorry Dawn! Copy and pasting passwords across obviously went sideways at some point.

No worries, just read a book that works for the task and the direction you want to go and carry on from there.


🐉  PrinZessBookDragon 👑🌶️ | 179 comments i don't think i received my log in info, can you resend please at your convenience?


message 98: by Marie (UK) (new)

Marie (UK) (mazza1) | 5924 comments I cannot get my password to work either. I have both copy and pasted and entered manually neither works


message 99: by Rosina (new)

Rosina | 1800 comments when it states reader is that narrator.

message 100: by Shan ~A~ (new)

Shan ~A~ | 856 comments Read a book shelved (listed on the first page on GR)
