I'd say yes for all three

Hah, see, to me, out of those three, it's the third one that looks most like it's been heavily photoshopped and the first and middle ones that look most like natural photos!
IDK!?!?!?!

LOL, thanks Sophie!
Now I need to decide what to read dammit.

At least it's not another Listopia task -- those seem easy, but I get spoiled for choice looking through dozens and dozens of pages of lists!

[Sophie, The other one]

Photoshop started with a photo. This might be why I get in trouble at SRC.

I need a 2005 first page tags. The older years are hard.

The Jane Austen Book Club has 2005. Not read it, so can't tell you if it's any good, lol!

I saw that one: also The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency since I need to go south.

[Sammy]

That's the good thing about "the" titles, you can use the article if it helps, lol.

[Sammy]

Also Must Love Dogs. Again, not read it, but the movie was cute...

Thank you, needs to be N-Z

Considering The Big Over Easy or The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency

[Sammy]

*headdesk* yeah, forgot that for a moment, lol.

[Sammy]

I've only read #3 in The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. The writing style didn't work for me, but I know loads of people that love them!

[Jenny]

The Big Over Easy is a hoot. The sequel is even better, I think.

[Lyndi (mibookobsession)]

I had the task of finding the name of the tarot card "the Fool" in the text or title. I chose Marissa Meyer's in chapter 40, page 345. "He was here. He had come for her. The Fool had come. "
I was singing Painting the Roses Red the whole time I was reading this book lol.

[Teri-K]

I've realized that my reading goals have changed a lot recently, and this challenge won't work for me. So you can go ahead and take me off of the list. But I'm sure you'll all have lots of fun with this!

Happy reading.

Thanks for the suggestion~ I am going to save it for later because it has odd page numbers. It might come in handy!

Also, this time I have "book with an animal on the cover" and I am choosing the dragon for my animal. I hope he is allowed~~

[Tricia]

I'm reading Little Fires Everywhere for my next task and I'm struggling so hard. I find this book horribly boring so far. It has amazing reviews so I'm not sure why I'm having a hard time, but I'm just not clicking with this book on any level!

[Sammy]

I can sympathise Tricia. The book I just finished for my last task was pretty awful, and also has a lot of good reviews (though they're definitely lowering now that the book has been out a few years). luckily it was super short, or I would have abandoned it and looked for something else.

Next up: A character that is a doctor, title N-Z. I'm reading one at the moment, though don't expect to finish that one for a week or more. Off to hunt through my tbr!

[Saar The Book owl]

Maybe a dumb question, but I'm signing in and I need to fill in 'Reader'. Is this the format you're reading the book in?

[Sammy]

that's just you (so put in your name). It's something they've put in in case of eventual team challenges :)

[Saar The Book owl]

Aha, thanks, Sammy, I wasn't sure.

[Saar The Book owl]

So, I put in my first book. Now I need to read it first before I enter another book?

[Cat]

yup! Though I think most of us are probably entering the books after we finish them.

The key principle is that you have to read a book for the task before moving to the next one, and you need to read a book for each task (or use the SKIP spell out option to avoid a task)

[Saar The Book owl]

Ah, oops, that seems more fitting than I did, Cat :)

[Cat]

As it is an individual challenge, not a big deal ;-)

[Sammy]

I have another awkward one where my task is to 'read a book that starts with the letter J', yet in order to move south, I need a title starting with N-Z.

Can I use a title with an article, like "The Jungle" or similar to cover both?

I can't remember exactly what my ruling was on this, but if you look in the FAQs at the start I'm sure I put it there. Would copy and paste, but my phone isn't great for that and patients want me to work this afternoon.

Found it! Author last name.

going a-hunting...

[Tricia]

I am absolutely loving this maze challenge, and am having a lot of fun finding books that fit my tasks, but this one has me stumped. How in the world do I go about finding a book that meets this requirement?

Task: Read a book with the name of the tarot card "The World" in the text or title

You might try . It's a short cheesy UF based around tarot. Might be in there! I think it's on Kindle Unlimited too.

[Jenny]

I just typed in cozy mystery tarot on Amazon, and a bunch came up.
Chances are one of them has The World in it.

[Tricia]

Jenny wrote: "I just typed in cozy mystery tarot on Amazon, and a bunch came up.

How do I know which one? Or do I just randomly start reading and hope for the best? Doesn't seem like an efficient system! Lol

If you pick one off of Kindle Unlimited, you can grab it for free, download it to your kindle, open it, and search for The World and it'll show you if it's in there.

[Jessi]

I need a book with the word darning…

[Sammy]

I usually search for words or phrases with google books or amazon look inside. You only get to search a section of the text, but otherwise I'd have no chance, as I don't read on the kindle much.

Unfortunately, I don't have kindle unlimited.

It just needs the phrase 'the world'. It doesn't have to refer to the tarot card so text search on an ereader should help.

[Sammy]

It does also say it's just looking for the name, not actual use of a tarot card, so "the world" should be one of the easier ones to find, as a lot of books will mention "the world" somewhere in the text ;)

Snap! lol.

[Sophie, The other one]

Finding heirophant on the other hand is much less fun.

Yikes!

[Steven]

Sophie, I know that UF book I posted has a Heirophant in it. Well, I recall one. It has been a few years since I read it.

Oh yes, that's MUCH easier! I assumed since it explicitly mentioned the Tarot card, that the reference had to be specific. I have loads of choices if it just needs to say The World in any context. Thanks!!

[Judy]

Other option if you don't have an ereader but do have Overdrive through your library: borrow a couple books you're considering reading anyway and are available, open them and then search the terms – I've done that a lot for books I have as paperbacks

I don't even know what that is haha.

The series has an Heirophant in it and the third one is out the year. I enjoy the series.

My task was to read a book with a poem in it. I found a verse from My Lost Youth by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in the book The Next Always by Nora Roberts.

"The song and the silence in the heart, That in part are prophecies, and in part Are longings wild and vain."

[Hayley]

okay, i'm getting frustrated. I literally am moving one step forward and one step back. I go forward one move and the next i have only one option and it's back to where i was. I know it's supposed to be hard but i didn't realize it was going to be ridiculously hard. Usually i have two options for the move and then the next task only has one option for the move and it's backwards.

[Tricia]

You're at a dead end. You need to go back to the start and then go south.

Could you send me a screen shot of your maze so I can check the image is coming up properly. We were only able to test it on the computers/phones we have in my house. Want to make sure there isn't a technical problem for you.
