Rules:
1. There are 50 Monsters + 6 Bonus Monsters to hunt for the next three months. Each monster has the weapons that can kill them listed. Since I’m the Mistress of the Hunt, you’ll find some unorthodox weapons.
2. Read books that will have the weapon(s) listed for the Monster on the Cover or in text or simply read a book with that monster.
3. There is no particular order, you can Hunt as you please.
4. HOB Standard Challenge Rules apply.
5. Bonus Monsters are worth surprise points.
6. Everyone on the Team has to read for the Bonus Monster. Reading for the same task is allowed.
7. Divide and Conquer. Apart from the Bonus, each Monster can only be read by 1 Hunter.
8. Hunters have to read for the Bonus Monster and check-in before moving onto the regular hunting.
9. Each Team will have 3 Passes for the Bonus tasks. If a member can't read, they can use the pass (Zero points for the Member) or another member can read a book. 3 time only!! Not more!!

If you've signed up as a trio, think of a team name and let me know here. I have lots of spreadsheets and threads to update. It will help and everything will be done before the challenge starts!!

LOVE the enthusiasm!!

Challenge has been changed and updated to accommodate all of your feedback from last year!!

ENJOY!!!
