All questions about specific tasks and also general discussion. We will be adding some lists for books that could fit some of the harder to find tasks and updating it when people make suggestions. Feel free to give suggestions on books you think would fit someone’s needs for a task.

Daisy | 686 comments I'm having some trouble with 5.4, as I live in Holland we didn't really have a school mascot or school colours, that's just not a thing here. Any help?

Do you have a favorite sports team? If so, you could use their mascot and/or colors. Or maybe Holland's flag colors.

Daisy | 686 comments I'm very much athletically challenged, so I don't have a favourite sports team... But I can work with our national flag colors or the sort of mascot, the lion. Thanks!

I was thinking if there is a movie that has an American high school in it that you have seen you can use that too. Usually somewhere in the movie there is a reference to the school colors and/or mascot.

Holly | 42 comments For task 5.3 does this cover count as something pink (The word Beastly)? /book/show/7... Or do I need to find something where the pink is more prominent?

On my screen it is pink, so I would say yes.

Yes, as long as there is some pink, you are good to go.

Allison | 179 comments For Task 25.7 District 9 (read a book with an unnamed main character) would it work to read The Nanny Diaries by Emma McLaughlin? One of the main characters is the mother of the child the nanny watches and she is just referred to in the book as Mrs. X. She is never given another name as far as I know.

That would be fine Allison.

Holly | 42 comments For task 10.5 Unlucky Day, does it have to be a picture of something "unlucky" or "lucky" on the cover or can if be a word in the title? For instance, Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher?

Holly, that will work. I will adjust the task. Thanks.


message 19: by Holly (new)

Holly | 42 comments Yah! Thanks, Tami!


message 20: by Laventeli (new)

Laventeli Can I use Time machine for 10.4 even though it is only 118 pages long? I do have 478 pages long book for 5.1 so I though that balances it out.


message 21: by Tami (new)

Tami | 3103 comments Mod
that would be fine.

Mickslibrarian For task 15.6, could you direct me to the blog thread? I'm not sure what I'm looking for.


message 23: by Allison (new)

Allison | 179 comments For Task 5.4 School Spirit, could I use The Christmas Box by Richard Paul Evans? It is only 128 pages, but I have some longer books to balance it out.
