I haven't read it myself yet but Get a Life, Chloe Brown?

[Eunice]

Hi! Can I ask for recommendations on books about a group of friends?

[Sophie, The other one]

Task: Read a book where MCs are neighbours

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

I also read [bookcover..."

In the not a romance category, [book:The Couple Next Door|28815474] might be worth a look. Page number would depend on the edition you could get.

Liane Moriarty springs to mind as some of hers have groups of friends. Kirsten Hannah also has some that would fit the bill.

If you are into urban fantasy/paranormal romance then the later October Daye, Kate Daniels, Harry Dresden have ensemble casts that I'd definitely say were a groups of friends.

Pretty sure Remarkably Bright Creatures has a penguin in it, if you're interested.

[Eunice]

Thanks, Sophie! I'll go check them out

A Little Life is about a group of friends.
Cemetery Boys might also work.
The Tea Dragon Society is a young adult graphic novel and definitely fits. So does the Heartstopper: Volume One series.

I second Liane Moriarty.

Also, if you like Horror, then Stephen King does a few that fit, such as It, Dreamcatcher or less horror: The Body (which went on to be filmed as the movie 'Stand by me')

It would have been the default version, as I'd normally grab the audio, but it seems the audio version for that one isn't great. The Kindle is also even # though, so I may get it. I'm giving myself until the end of the day to decide on something :)

[Sammy]

A thought... In the Orphan X series, Evan Smoak and his love interest live in the same apartment building... Would that count as neighbours?

[Sophie, The other one]

I'd say yes

[Sammy]

Awesome, thank you. It means I can actually read from my tbr :D

[Lyndi (mibookobsession)]

Lol I think I skipped this task on a previous maze: Read a book that has a ninja character. I need to go West, so odd # pages.

H- ✔Maybe Someday Colleen Hoover 385p

E- ✔Deep Water Emma Bamford 319p

L- ✔Terms and Conditions Lauren Asher 435p

[Steven]

Guys, this maze is so cruel. Second time I've reached a dead end that makes me backtrack 7 spaces or more. X)

Ooof, poor you!

[Sammy]

Those back-tracks are no fun! hope your maze starts to play nice soon! ;)

[Vicky]

Going to skip the task: Read a book where a character is 16 years old - not that it's hard to find a 16 year old, but I've read enough books to cover a skip and I'm not sure when I'll come across another 16 year old with even pages. LOL

Moving East with even pages.

H - Heir Comes to Rise, An; 484 Pages
E - Elias (Char), All the Tides of Fate; 368 Pages
L - Lana Harper (Author), Back in a Spell; 320 Pages
P - Pendry (Char), Legends & Lattes; 296 Pages

[Tricia]

In my first maze I didn't understand the pattern and went left when I should have gone right. Went on a 13 book detour before hitting the dead end. Then had to read all the way back. It was crazy!

[Steven]

Oh gosh, that’s a lot of out of the way moves! *cries*

[Sammy]

Yikes!

[Kristie]

Oh my... that's the long way around!

[Tricia]

Okay, I edited my post because I was wrong! It was a 25 book detour total. 13 books the wrong way and 12 books to get back. I knew it was 25, just forgot it wasn't 25 each way. Sorry... but honestly, it was still a really long detour. lol

[Kristie]

That is still a long detour, Tricia!

[Sammy]

I'd have cried, lol.

[Karen ♐]

Oh no, Tricia! That's horrible...

[The other Sandy]

My next task is to read a book published in May. The hardcover of my current book was published in March, but the audiobook edition, which is what I'm listening to, was published in May.

Do I use the date of the first edition ever, or can I use the date of the edition I'm reading (listening to)?

The general rule of thumb is to use the edition you are reading, so I'm guessing you're good :)

*\o/* Thanks, Sammy!

If you did have something rated that low, would you actually want to read it? 😬

I have been known to do all kinds of nutty things for challenges, lol.

[Tricia]

I intentionally purge my tbr of anything under 3.5. I would definitely have to skip that one!

[Karen ♐]

Me too!

Sometimes I just feel compelled to stare at the train wreck. 😅

[Sammy]

I have a shelf dedicated to books I put myself through for challenges 😅

[Sophie, The other one]

I'm sure some of the books that come up for team challenges end up with a rating less than 3.1 once we are done with them.

You'd be surprised... , irritating name game, coffee tables and all? 3.71
, in all its cheesy glory? 3.83 (granted, that is probably 500 versions of the author trying to offset our less-than-perfect ratings, but the rating still stands)

[Sophie, The other one]

When we read it there were only 4 in the Dino island series, now there are 8. Obviously we haven't put the author off.

Interstellar super explorer and Fifty Shades of Mr Darcy: A Parody make the cut if you've missed out of either of them.

[Sammy]

Oh what a terrible shame... Interstellar super explorer has uneven page #. Guess I'll just have to escape that one once again... :D

[Jenny]

I just have a strong sense of self-preservation that only kicks in some of the time. When it comes to that - I hesitate to call it a book -it is one of those times. ;)

[Jenny]

Please tell me you read Cat's synopsis of the book? Side-spitting!

If you need a book with a bad rating (3.08), that I liked a lot and has extremely mixed reviews, try .

[Sammy]

Yes, I did. I thought the synopses were all amusing enough and did not feel the need to further subject myself to such horrors :D

If I find myself in the position where I can use it, I'll give it a whirl. it's rated a little too high for this task though.

[Jenny]

Whoops. I read that as <3.10.
Math. Reading. They are things apparently.
