How It Works:
Every five days I will make posts on the descriptions thread, with eight different tasks. Each task will state how many points it is worth.
When you think you know the answers, simply send me a personal message making sure to let me know which question(s) your answer(s) are for.
I will then send you a message back, letting you know how many you guessed correctly, and which ones you got wrong.
If you get an answer wrong, don't worry, you have three chances to get it right. If you think you've found the right answer, simply message me again ☺
All rounds will remain open until the challenge ends at 00:01 on August 31st 2020.

For "Guess The Book" tasks you'll receive a list of clues, which all fit one book. Your job is to figure out which book.

3 One cover features a golden bird, with an arrow in its mouth, encircled by a golden circle.
4. This book has over 6 million ratings on Goodreads.
5. This book and the rest of the series, were made into movies.

Mod
When looking for books, it's important to remember the following things -
* * All books used in this challenge are shelved as 'Young Adult' higher than 'Adult', 'Middle-Grade', or 'Childrens'.
* * All books used in this challenge have a buddy read thread present on our group - YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥
If the book you have found does not meet these criteria then it is not the correct book, and if you send it to me, you'll have wasted a guess ☹
Mod
Here are some hints, tips, and tricks which might help you during this challenge.
1 - Our group search function, found on the right-hand side of the screen on our group pages -
This could come in very handy when checking if a book has a buddy read thread on our group. It might also help you when looking for words or names in blurbs.
And don't forget, to check that bubble for 'only topics' on the next page, if you're looking for a thread title.
2 - Goodreads shelves can come in handy if you are searching for a specific tag or genre - https://www.goodreads.com/shelf
3 - Google image search - who knew that you'd ever need to search for a picture? Handy though - https://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en
4 - Google in general - https://www.google.com/
5 - Searching a specific site using Google. On Google, type in the words you're searching for ( like - Born with a gift ), then after your words, type the following - site:goodreads.com
This isn't limited to Goodreads, you can use this to search other sites too, just type in a different site name. Any site which has books could be helpful.
6 - Don't forget Listopia - https://www.goodreads.com/list
7 - Our group bookshelves could also be helpful - https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
Mod
* Descriptions should be posted every 5 days, on the 1st, 6th, 11th, and 16th. I cannot guarantee what time it will be exactly though.
* All books used in this challenge are YA and have a buddy read thread present on our group - YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥
* Tasks will be posted on a separate thread here - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
* Answers should be sent via personal message to myself. Please include both the question and answer so I know which task you're completing.
* Please note that answers must be spelt correctly. Otherwise, I might not realise that you have the correct answer.
* Once I have read your message, I will reply to you to let you know how many tasks you have answered correctly. (Please be aware that you may not get a response right away, partly due to time zones, and partly because there will be a lot of things going on ☺)
* If you answer one or more descriptions incorrectly, you do have up to 3 chances to answer correctly, simply send me your second guess, and/or third.
* Answers posted in the thread will be deleted, and the person who posted them will be disqualified.
* This is a non-reading challenge, you do not need to read anything for this challenge.
* This challenge will end at 00:01 on August 31st 2022, Pacific Time - https://greenwichmeantime.com/time-zo... Answers received after this time will not be counted, so please be sure to send in your answers before this time. Do not worry if you sent your answers in but didn't receive an answer before the end of the challenge. As long as your message is sent before this time, it will count ☺
* Winners for this challenge will be announced on August 31st, which is the day before the results for the overall MMC.
Mod

Is this the last patch or will more be coming?
Mod
This is the last one!
That is what I want but double checking. Thanks!
Congratulations to the four of you who have got maximum points for the last round. Two guesses down...think this may have defeated me!
If we get a question wrong, do we have to figure out which one it is? I think I know, but Sarah didn't say in her email back to me
Sarah did tell me which one was wrong, so just check in with her.
