Gale Harrigan | 51 comments Good morning! I’ll be finishing up Dragon Pearl this afternoon after work. Good read, lots going on. There’s ghost and magic all in an intergalactic space adventure. Quite a combo!
Then diving into my next read. Haven’t decided which one just yet. Might just close my eyes and pick.

Georgann  | 124 comments just finished book 1, What Lives in the Woods by Lindsay Currie BTW, nothing lives in the woods. Also, when I went to add this to the spreadsheet, it didn't fit any of the categories I'd signed up for! Thankfully, it fit in another, but really, what was I thinking when I requested this book!! (smile)

Gale Harrigan | 51 comments Hey team! I just finished the Lion of Mars. Loved it!
I don’t think I would have picked up this book if it hadn’t been for this challenge. I’m so glad I did. I will be getting it for my school library. I think the students will really like it.
How’s everyone else’s’ reading going?

Georgann  | 124 comments I just finished my zombie book for category 12. It was good! I went back and added my author's name. Thanks for the reminder, @EdenB15! @Gale, I'm so glad you loved the book and will be getting it for your school library! Yay for librarians!!

EdenB15 | 403 comments Michelle I’m reading ur Recommendation today


message 67: by Gale (new)

Gale Harrigan | 51 comments Good morning everyone!
Eden, you have entered all my books so far. I’ll be finishing up another today. I’ll update the sheet.
I’ve finished up one of my summer gigs yesterday(summer school), so I’ll have tons more time to read now. 🤓yay!
I’m wondering about one of the books I’m planning on reading. Wings of fire #3 the hidden kingdom. It’s part of a series that’s very popular in my library. Some of the dragons are fire breathing and are fire resistant. Can we count that for the task of fire- related superpowers? Otherwise it can count as a graphic novel adaptation. Or maybe more, I haven’t read it yet.
Also, I need help finding a book to finish the Out of Time category. Does anyone know a book with an alien that is in disguise as a human? If I complete the category we get bonus points, so I really want to find a book for this!
Thanks!


message 68: by EdenB15 (new)

EdenB15 | 403 comments Hi! Hope the summer school went well. Yes that should work for either re wings of fire. I’ll have a think about the alien one and c if I can find anything


message 69: by EdenB15 (new)

EdenB15 | 403 comments Gale I’ve decided to read book 1 of wings of fire as it fits task 2


message 70: by Gale (new)

Gale Harrigan | 51 comments Perfect, Eden! That’s teamwork right there 😜

LMK about the alien in disguise. I’ve been researching, but no luck yet.


message 71: by EdenB15 (new)

EdenB15 | 403 comments Hi no luck with the Alien task but i could ask Kadi if u havent had any more luck

EdenB15 | 403 comments Hi everyone we r doing great so far. I was wondering if u could help me. I’m just wondering what r the names of main charcters in ur books cuz i need to complete section 1


message 73: by Georgann (new)

Georgann  | 124 comments I just finished The Long-Lost Home (The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place, #6) by Maryrose Wood The Long-Lost Home. Protagonist's name is Penelope, or Penny for short. Dead City protanonist's name is Molly. Nightbooks is Alex. What Lives in the Woods is Ginny. Hope this helps.

Hi Team Wolf!

The bonus tasks have now been added to your spreadsheet!🎉

How the points work:
- The first 5 bonus tasks are worth 3 points each. If all 5 are completed there’s an extra 10 points.
- The second 7 bonus tasks are worth 5 points each. If all 7 are completed there’s an extra 15 points.
- Page points apply.
- There are no extra points if one or two people complete the first 5 or second 7 tasks alone (like there is for other categories).

Remember: only books started on or after 15th August (your time) can be counted towards the bonus tasks!

EdenB15 | 403 comments Happy Monday! Guys we r 2nd in the leaderboard keep up the good work!!


message 82: by Gale (new)

Gale Harrigan | 51 comments Hey, Eden, should I be adding my books to the main sheet (MC Challenge) or the tracking sheet (the 2nd one). I want to make sure you see the books I'm reading. Whatever works for you!


message 83: by EdenB15 (new)

EdenB15 | 403 comments Hi Gale probably the main sheet if that’s ok. I’ve just started to add books directly on to it as I’ve ran out of room on the tracking sheet


message 84: by EdenB15 (new)

EdenB15 | 403 comments Hi everyone im going to try complete section 4 and 6 and another bonus task. If you have any recs for the remaining tasks in the 2 sections that would b great i need to keep hunting haha


message 85: by Gale (new)

Gale Harrigan | 51 comments Ok- I’ll add directly to the main sheet from now on. Super excited that the book I’m reading now will complete my category when I finish it Woohoo, bonus points!
I’ll take a look at the categories snd see if I have any recs.

Eden, I can't tell for sure if #9 is a book with two letter "l"s (lowercase l) or "I"s (uppercase I) but I think this book would fit either way. Let me know what you think. :)

Georgann  | 124 comments Yay, us! I just read Out of the Wild Night by Blue Balliett Out of the Wild Night. I was at the library picking up some other books for this challenge when I ran across this one. Since it says on page 1, "On the bad side, being dead....I died one hundred years ago, plus a few days." I thought, "Oh! Great! a ghost as a protagonist!" But no, she's the narrator with a job to do. Thankfully, the book fit in another slot, so it wasn't a "waste!"


message 96: by EdenB15 (new)

EdenB15 | 403 comments Yay!! 1st place and thanks Gale I’ll c if I can get that one !!

Oh yes Eden, please finish off the I task. I don't mind at all. I'm good for anything that gets us more points as a team. I thought you were just looking for recommendations (although I will probably read The Accidental Keyhand at some later point).
