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.

Checking In

How do you guys want to track?

Checking In. I think setting up a tracking thread.

Does not matter

Anyone familiar with setting up a tracking thread? Can't be too hard, right? Looks like everyone is setting it up right on their thread.

I can keep track, unless one of you want to do it.

Thanks ShanA. I'll learn from you!

checking in

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,

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

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

Hey Crepes of Wrath! The Lion, The Witch and The Waldorf Salad needs three recs for this challenge. Hit us up with your favs, last 5 stars, whatever you got!

Hey Stacie, my last 5 star recommendation is Deacon King Kong by James McBride. I found this to be an uplifting and humorous story of a community in the projects of NYC during the 1960s. The genre is historical fiction.

Thanks Kathy! Do you have any other recs? That book will take 6 weeks to come in from the library! Must be great! Thanks so much, it's definitely on my holds shelf now.

I have three other recommendations:
Harvest Home by Thomas Tryon. A classic horror tale. Great for an autumn afternoon read, wrapped in a blanket, sipping something warm.
The Children's Book by A.S. Byatt. A sweeping family epic set in England during the 1900s to WW1. Historical fiction. It is a chunkster!
The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware. A contemporary mystery/thriller with lots of twists and turns.

Thanks so much Kathy!!

Sommersgate House by Kristen Ashley

The Rivals by Vi Keeland

Fast Lane by Kristen Ashley

Pestilence by Laura Thalassa

Dream Maker by Kristen Ashley

I'm stopping now cause this can go on forever
