Amanda (porkchop0911) | 807 comments You will than take your partners name and treat it like acrostic form. Take each letter of your partners name and read a book that starts with that letter in the title. For example if someone was partnered with me you would read books:
A-An Anonymous Girl
M-Murder on the Orient Express
A-The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
N-New Moon
D-Divergent
A-The Alchemist
A, AND, and THE do not count for the letter
Once you complete each others name only 1 team member has to go over to the
Check-In Thread


There will also be bonus tasks after you finish each others names to get to know each other better.

This is a 2 month challenge that will run April 1 to May 31. All standard rules will apply.

I’m doing good. How are you? I wasn’t aware either until last night. I’m really excited about doing this challenge since I have never done it before! Have you done this challenge before?


message 5: by Kat (new)

Kat (bookworm2017) | 1527 comments I’m doing alright thanks, I have done it once. You any ideas of books? Or do you mood read?


message 6: by Nora (new)

Nora Currie I think I might have a good list of books for your name:

Kingdom of the Wicked
A: The Address
T: A Tip for the Hangman

I’m a mood reader sometimes but if I have a challenge, I try to stick to the task. How about you?


message 7: by Kat (new)

Kat (bookworm2017) | 1527 comments I make a plan but if I find something else it’s fine plus I’m in a few challenges so need them to tally up so I don’t give myself too many books. Haha.

I have three of your letters undecided on R


N - Nora goes off script
A - Air he breathes
R -

message 27: by Kat (new)

Kat (bookworm2017) | 1527 comments Thanks. I’ve finished it now. Just realised I’m going to be reading a thriller for another challenge so I’ll pick something else to read alongside it that isn’t crime hoping to find one starting with R.

I’m going to be starting The Silent Bride

Both of your books sound really good and I hope you enjoy them too.

By the way, are you interested in joining the Amazing Race challenge in the same group as the meet and greet challenge. Nikki and I would be happy to have you on our team :))

Yes it’s a lot of prompt. You do need to read a lot of romance for the challenge.


message 33: by Nora (new)

Nora Currie Thanks for letting me know, Kat.


message 34: by Nora (new)

Nora Currie Hi Kat! I just wanted to let you know that I switched my Star Wars book from Blackout to One Last Stop because I was in the mood for something light.


message 35: by Kat (new)

Kat (bookworm2017) | 1527 comments Hope you enjoy it. I’m loving silent bride. I know that isn’t for our challenge and I’m liking risk so far. Do u read mostly romance?

The book we are reading for this month is Snow by John Banville which is set in the 1950s in Ireland.

That’s so exciting that you are going to a book club too! What book are you reading for it?

It's super interesting that your discussion leaders have such differing opinions on the book you are reading. I'm sorry you are not enjoying it.

I haven’t tried it. To be honest I think only one of them is reading it but if they both want to read it they can. I found out from girl on Twitter abiut what had happened as she went last month and we both live in Glasgow. I wish I could’ve gone to last months but I only found out the day it was happening

Oh. I'm sorry. I was confused. I hope you are able to go to it and I'm sorry that you only found out about the last one the day before. That's super cool that you live in Glasgow. I live in the Midwest in the United States.
