★ This will be a non-reading challenge, with daily challenges based on the progression of a story.
★ This challenge will take place from July 1st to July 30th.
★ Simply complete each task to earn points which will count for this challenge, and will also count towards your total for the MMC.
★ You may choose to take part in this challenge, without taking part in any of the other challenges happening this July at YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥
★ Link to main MMC thread - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Note - The story for this challenge was inspired by this book - Grave Sight (Harper Connelly, #1) by Charlaine Harris - However, it's been so long since I read it I can't really remember what happened, so as far as I know, this story is not the same as the original 🤣 You don't need to read this book to take part in this challenge ☺

How It Works:

The story will continue with a different task to complete each day. Some days may be posted in advance, you can still complete these the day they are posted.

When you think you know the answers(s), simply send me a personal message making sure to let me know which day's task(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 July 31st 2023.

★ Tasks will be posted daily or will be posted in advance.

★ Tasks are open from the time they are posted until the challenge ends.

★ Answers should be sent via personal message to me. Please include both the question and answer so I know which task you're completing.

★ Please be careful to spell answers correctly, or link me to the book, 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, you simply have to find books which complete each task.

★ This challenge will end at 00:01 on July 31st 2023, 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 July 31st, which is the day before the results for the overall MMC. Points for this challenge will count towards your overall MMC score.

★ There is no need to sign up for this challenge, simply send me your answers when tasks are posted ☺

★ Feel free to use this thread for chatting and questions ☺
(Just don't post any answers here x)

★ ★ HINTS - TIPS - TRICKS ★ ★

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 -



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.

6 - Don't forget Listopia - https://www.goodreads.com/list

7 - Our group bookshelves could also be helpful - https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

Characters -
★ Fiona - 23 years old and has a strange talent for unearthing dead things, sometimes bones and sometimes other things. Fiona takes work where she can helping to find dead or missing people and pets. She also deals with ghosts.
★ Mike - 28 years old, Fiona's step-brother who tirelessly accompanies her and protects her on her travels.
★ Felicity - Fiona's younger sister who disappeared when she was only 6 years old, and Fiona was 16. She hasn't been seen since.

Background -
★ Fiona and Mike have been travelling around in a semi-reliable car, for the past 7 years, ever since Felicity went missing.
★ Fiona doubts that she'll ever find Felicity alive, but she'll accept that if she can at least find her bones and lay her to rest.
★ Fiona's mother was married to Mike's father, but Fiona and Mike didn't grow up together. Mike had already gone to college when their parents got married.
★ Mike's father is now dead (heart attack), and Fiona's mother is living with her sister Alice. She hasn't done too well since Felicity disappeared, and she disapproves of Fiona's lifestyle. She's an alcoholic who won't admit she has a problem.

Task 4 is like our old cover pieces rounds, so you're looking for the specific book that that cover piece comes from ☺ Does that help?

Or do you mean message 5 above? Message 5 is just the background info for the story that comes with each daily task x

I think 29 is a lost cause. It's either really obscure or a less common cover edition of something I feel. I've spent several hours looking. I am amazed 4 found it.

Yes omg it’s driving me mental!! It’s going to be an ‘ooooh’ moment, I can feel it 🤣 I’m going to spend one more hour on finding 27 and 29 and then I’m done 🤣


message 20: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 15942 comments 29 is the only one holding me back, so im going to be searching all day for it. Lol

I feel like its going to be so obvious too.
