Lost in a Good Book Maze Showing 1,001-1,050 of 1,660

[Sammy]

Maybe, but Keira knightly as Elizabeth really doesn't work for me...

[Jenny]

I agree, but the supporting cast was good, I thought. Especially Mr. Collins. Perhaps not like he was described in the book, but perfectly played.

[Insiyah]

McFayden was the perfect Darcy, though. He's tall and so, so painfully awkward all the time which is exactly how Darcy is described in the book.

[Sammy]

I will be skipping the "read a book on the amazon best seller list of 2017" task, as I've read everything on there I'm even vaguely interested in. How does all this dreck keep showing up on these lists? lol.

Hi Megan!

If you follow the instructions in post 3 you can make your own maze and account.

Have fun!

[Steven]

Anyone got any cat shifter novel suggestions? I really don’t want to get sucked into a reread right now and all I can think of are Jane Yellowrock/Nell Ingram, The Others, or Kate Daniels. I also really don’t want to read 4 books to skip again right now lol

[Steven]

Hmm, Kiss of Snow by Nalini Singh probably has some cat shifters in it, even if it follows a wolf and a psy. 🤔

[Tricia]

I read The Soldati Prince for this prompt last year. It was short and sweet.

[Tricia]

It's by Charlie Cochet and has lion shifters.

[Steven]

Thanks for the tip! I’ll look it up! :)

I just did a little happy dance in my chair, as my new prompt lines up perfectly with my 'next-up' book...

It's the little things.

[Steven]

Lucky, Sammy!!! :)

[Kristie]

Oh, I love when that happens!

[Sophie, The other one]

Mine is a book with MPG magic which makes a good change from some of the previous.

[Judy]

My last book was like that!! I was going to pick it up anyway and then it also had the July pub date, perfect!

[Sammy]

I knew it was too good to last... My next task is

"Read a book with the phrase "In the heat of the moment" in a book"

As I'm not a kindle reader, this one's probably not going to happen, as the "look inside feature" is rubbish enough for trying to find a word, never mind a phrase! Please sing out if you happen to know any for this one (going East, even page #)

Especially frustrating as the end is in sight! 4 more moves to finish.

[Steven]

Try finding the book on the Google book website. You can search the text in a lot of books that way :)

[Sammy]

Google books seems to have the exact same previews as Amazon. most of 'em useless, if they have one at all, lol. It's great for classics that are copyright free, but most newer books you get a few pages if any.
I've acquired many a headache trying to source things from books that way, as any "find X in text" challenges are NOT audio friendly.

Now if I liked the band Asia a bit more, I could see if there's a book about them out there, but that's a step too far for a challenge prompt, lol!

[Steven]

I can check the US google books for you if you want to message me some titles. I’ve had pretty decent luck on there in the past!

Or just work towards the skip. 4 books for you is like two days! Lol

[Sammy]

Steven wrote: Or just work towards the skip. 4 books for you is like two days! Lol"

There is that! lol.

[Tricia]

My kindle says that in Scythe by Neal Schusterman you can find "in the heat of frustrated moments."

And the Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas has it!

[Sammy]

Dang! could have done a re-read of Scythe, but it has uneven page #s :(

I'm not sure the other one is going to be my cup of tea... but thank you for checking for me! :D

I'll work on the skip unless I happen to come across something serendipitously :)

EAST - even page numbers

S - The Giver of Stars (C: Sophia)
K - The Key to Rebecca
I - Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mount Everest Disaster
P - Big Little Lies (C: Perry White)

My Life Next Door
Grimnirs
Real Easy
The Forever Home
Firekeeper's Daughter
How the White Trash Zombie Got Her Groove Back
The Cartographers

[Sammy]

Thanks Rina, I'll have a look at those in the morning :)

[Ashley]

Oh oh!! I only need one more book to complete the maze and the prompt is Read a book that is on the "The Best Fairytales and Retellings" Listopia List (Title: N-Z)... and lo and behold... #3 on that list is The Princess Bride!!

What a lucky duck I am! This book is on my TBR, and I just have never gotten around to it, but now I HAVE to read it! Woo!

[Sammy]

I loooooooove that book! :D

[Sammy]

DONE! finally, lol.

Going again, of course! ;) (but this time made it bigger, because I'm insane like that lol)

[Kristie]

lol! Congrats, Sammy! And good luck!

[Sammy]

Anyone know any to fit this one?

Task: Read a book where MCs are neighbours

I'd re-read , but I need even page #s :(

I also read relatively recently, but will use it if I can't find anything else. (for anything else read: 'not a romance', lol)

[Karen ♐]

Sammy, I really enjoyed
