huzzah! Playing again? (some of us are nuts and started again with a bigger maze! 😅


message 1126: by Ashley (last edited May 22, 2023 08:29AM) (new)

Ashley Basile (smashreads) | 1566 comments I MIGHT... but I also have a bunch of books that I want to read that I don't want to have to worry about finding a fit for them. I usually have a mid-year slump for specific tasks, and have to slim down my challenges to 1-2, which is where I'm at now (not including year-long challenges). I may wait until after Towers... or longer...

I'll get bored after a bit of trying to think of what to read, and start challenges again, lol

I don't do sensible, lol. (Actually, I've very sensibly resisted joining any of the other team challenges popping up. I can only cope with one at a time!)

Skipping:

Task: Read a book shelved (listed on the first page on GR) as soon - plurals and spelling acceptable

Direction: South (Title starts with N-Z)

S - Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow - character Sam
K - Think of England - author KJ Charles
I - Six of Crows - character Inej
P - The Island of Doctor Moreau - character Edward Prendick


message 1138: by Judy (new)

Judy | 4065 comments Well..

Task: Read a book where the first word of the title is A
Direction: South (N-Z

I assume the same rule applies as for book that starts with an impossible letter -> in this case, author’s last name starts with A ?


message 1139: by Ilsen (new)

Ilsen | 28 comments No I got this task. It’s not that the first letter has to be A, it just has to start with the article “A”. So you could still do South if it’s something like “A Sky Beyond the Storm” or something like that. Hope this helps!


message 1140: by Judy (new)

Judy | 4065 comments That makes sense, definitely counter-intuitive though! 😅


message 1141: by Ilsen (new)

Ilsen | 28 comments Oh yes, it can be a bit confusing. I think if you log it in with the article, it would count.


message 1142: by The other Sandy (new)

The other Sandy | 282 comments I think you have to enter the title without the article in order to be able to move south. I think what I did when that happened to me was to enter the title as "Sky Beyond the Storm, A" to make the move in the maze while showing my title met the letter requirement.


message 1143: by Judy (new)

Judy | 4065 comments Yep, definitely have to enter without the article, I've done that before. Just weird because for this task the title has to start with the word "a"


message 1144: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 12880 comments I always put the article at the end if using the next word in the maze :)


message 1145: by Ilsen (new)

Ilsen | 28 comments Oh ok! I never actually had this specific thing happened to me but I wondered what to do. Thank you!
