Never Ending TBR discussion

Jackie
Venecia

Once you have all Checked in, I will post your first Episode. Remember there is no time limit. Only requirement is that all team members must read at least one book per Episode.
If a member is MIA at any time, please let me know.

Tracking is up to you. You can set up a tracking thread or create your own spreadsheet.

Hey Jackie.

Hi Venecia. Just saw this thread was up.

You arrive at Totally Bookish Island located somewhere in Muskoka, Ontario (..yeah so...it might just be an abandoned film lot, but who is really looking?)
1. Read book set in Canada
2. Read a book with a building in an open field on the cover

There will be other players...not just you
3. Pick another team playing and ask them for three recommendations. You or a team mate may pick and read one of those books.

Usually in a setting like this there are winning teams and losing teams. Winning Teams would receive a reward
4. Read a First book in a series
5. Read a Second book in a series
6. Read a third book in a series

Losing teams would have to vote one of their own off the island at the Campfire Ceremony
7. Read a book with a fire or flame on the cover

Where members who are safe receive marshmallows
8.Pick another team and read and post one of their task for them, doesn't matter what episode they are on. Only one person needs to do this

The member who gets voted off would take a walk down the Dock of Shame
9. Read a book tagged Romance

take a ride on the Boat of Losers, and leave the island forever.
10. Read a book with a boat or water on the cover

The number of remaining members would dwindle down each week,
11. Read a Book of Choice
12.Read a Book of Choice
13.Read a Book of Choice
14. Read a Book of Choice
15. Read a Book of Choice
16. Read a Book of Choice
17. Read a Book of Choice

with the last one achieving cheap tabloid fame and winning a small fortune
18. Read a book you got for free

However....this will not happen as there are no winners or losers, so you may move on the next Episode after you pay Tribute to The Never Ending TBR
19. Read a book for this challenge: Never Ending TBR
20.Read a book for this challenge: The List: Best of Horror 2020
21. Read a book for this challenge: The Mary Shelley

Jackie, I'm not great are making spreadsheets, so I'll just make a tracking post here and keep track that way.

Works for me.

My current read is #3 in a series so I'll do that one first.

I'm currently reading a #1 so I can take that.

Should we go ahead and pick a team for the 3 recommendations?

I'm also planning to read Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea soon so I think it works for #19.

Let me check out the other teams.
I'll put you down for #19 and #4

I like the makeup of War & Peas, do you have a preference?

War & Peas looks good.

I'll wait until they have all checked in then I'll ask for the recs.

That one looks interesting, I'm going to read it myself at some point.

Venecia wrote: "Are you interested in Horror? I was planning on doing #20"

I’m not a fan of horror but can probably find something on the list if you’d rather not. Do we have to participate in the challenge or just read any book from the list? I couldn’t tell from the way the task was worded.

Great! That works out well.

I hope you'll enjoy Fated! :-)

Same for me. I did finish Fated this morning while I couldn't sleep. At least insomnia is good for something. I really liked the book!
