Chat here about this challenge! :)

Hi, I can't wait to start this challenge but I'm not able to make a thread for myself. :/

Katherine, let me clarify - is there some sort of error message coming?

I know this sounds funny but it says I have to verify my email address but the thing is the email I use for my account, I can't access it anymore and It got kinda shutdown some how - I don't know. Is it possible to change the email address of my goodreads account to something else?

You need to have verified your email to create a topic. I think you can change your email id by changing it in the account settings; I don't know the process because I've never done it. If you want, I'll create a topic for you :)

How do you start a thread?

Here is a thread explaining: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Thank you. I feel like a bit of an idiot for not knowing, hehehe XD

Hi Hallie, just to clarify do we all start with the same task as you?

Clarifying: The first task is to read a book with a blue cover? Not a book set in the furure?

future*

I don't own a book with a blue cover.

You could always borrow a blue book from a local library :)

I'm a bit confused here; you're supposed to read a book with a blue cover.

Yes, a book with a blue cover.

It just needs to be 50% blue :)

I don't even have one that color.

Really? Are you sure? It can be any shade. I don't know if I can change the task :/

Yes, a book with a blue cover."

Thanks! (Replied to the wrong comment earlier).

Do we need to include a link to our review like you did Hallie or is it enough just to report which book we read?

Well, a read status is more than enough. It's fine if you just report.

Finished my blue book - Burial Rites- enjoyed it and gave it a 4* and it deserves the hype.

Hello time travellers. Ready for the next task?

Finished task 2.

Hi There! Just a question: are ce supposed to read only fictions? Or can the book with a blue cover be a non fiction? Thanks!

Task one done: A Discovery of Strangers by Rudy Wiebe.

Finished my blue book - Zenith by Duong Thu Huong!

Yes, it can be non-fiction. It can be of any genre :)

Thanks a lot!

Did you make a thread for yourself, by the way?

Oups! I had forgotten to do it!
It's done!

Hello time travellers. Ready for a chase?

Hello time travellers! Time to search for a job.

In Time to search for a job, are we supposed to read 2 books, one for each task, or is it read one book that fits either looking for work/unemployed or works a part-time job?

Thank you!

Any one of them. Sorry, I forgot to put that there.

This sounds like an interesting challenge, so I am in. I started my topic, now off to find my book.
