Thomas | 1 comments While your average triathlon consists of swimming, cycling, and running, we've decided to mix it up a bit. Instead, I've created a list of 33 sets of books. Each set contains 3 books. All of the books in a single set are related in some manner, and your job is to identify how they are connected. Once your team has established this for all 33 sets, please PM me the responses - don't post them below! This challenge will test your speed, so send those answers as quickly as possible!
Here's your first two sets:

1. Divergent (Divergent, #1) by Veronica Roth My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter #7) by J.K. Rowling
2. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Frankenstein by Mary Shelley Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
3. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult The Notebook (The Notebook, #1) by Nicholas Sparks
4. Homecoming (Tillerman Cycle, #1) by Cynthia Voigt Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen Lassie by Sheila Black
5. Beastly by Alex Flinn Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles, #1) by Marissa Meyer Through the Woods by Emily Carroll
6. A Separate Peace by John Knowles I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You (Gallagher Girls, #1) by Ally Carter Anna and the French Kiss (Anna and the French Kiss, #1) by Stephanie Perkins

Lynanne Carroll (waterfall17) | 48 comments Maybe this is kind of lame, but could you possibly give an example set to demonstrate what kinds of things we're supposed to be looking for...? Because 'how they're connected' could be anything from authors sharing letters in their names to all penned by female authors to all feature a suffering protagonist, etc.

Are we looking for something *about* the book (like the title and author stuff), or something *in* the book (characters, plot line)?

Does that make sense? It's so broad...

Kate ✨ is a dreamer I think that you just look for anything similar. But, I agree, though broad, that's where the part "challenge" comes in

Bharvi | 36 comments Do we have to submit them all together, or can we submit the answers as they appear?

Hey Rebecca, you should PM your answers to him, if you post your answers here everyone can see them and potentially cheat. :)

Odd... either I'm going crazy(ier) or her comment disappeared/was taken down. Either seems likely. Lol

Rebecca James I realized I posted to the wrong group so I deleted it myself.
