You've been caught in the HOB Spider's Web! Work your way out by completing tasks! But, BEWARE! There will be "sticky", unknown traps to deal with! Bonus Tasks are hidden throughout the web, and if you're caught, you'll need to complete the task before continuing on - SOMETIMES THIS INCLUDES ANY OTHER HOB CHALLENGES YOU MAY BE PARTICIPATING IN!
📌VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT! Make sure that you have notifications turned on, so that you don't miss updates, bonus task notices, etc!! If you don't know how to do this, here is a HOW-TO!
Challenge Rules:
Standard Challenge Rules apply, plus...
🕸️Rereads DO count for this challenge BUT must have been read more than a year ago.
🕸️One book per prompt/task.
🕸️Follow your own time zone. If you finish the book between the challenge dates in your time zone, it counts.
🕸️ Please NOTE! This Challenge uses Google Sheets for tracking. - PLEASE KEEP THIS AS UP-TO-DATE AS POSSIBLE FOR SCORES TO POPULATE CORRECTLY! Of course, it's not necessary to update constantly but try to update as often as your schedule reasonably allows. Scores will be announced weekly on Sunday, so at minimum, ensure you update each week by Saturday evening!
Task Rules:
You must be able to justify how your book fits the prompt. Creativity is encouraged, but please hold to the task/prompt.
🕷️Cover Color must be more than 50% (https://labs.tineye.com/color/)
🕷️List page number, percentage, or chapter for word in text
🕷️Cover Items should be shown or mentioned in your post (ie cover image)
🕷️Short explanation for other tasks for proof of task completion
When you complete a book, please post a completion post here with your justification. Something simple is fine.
The Challenge Scoresheet can be found here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
YOUR personal spreadsheet is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
It is important that you DO NOT ADD page counts to your spreadsheet until you have completed the book. If you add it before, it will show points you have not yet earned on the scoresheet. I will be checking this weekly, and removing them when needed.
