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.

Sonia (darktalynn) | 204 comments Checking in... This looks like fun!

Sally906 Hi there - once you’re set up this is a formal request from War and Peas

One of our tasks is asking for recommendations from another team. So asking that you guys give us three Choices please.

You’ll find us here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Sonia (darktalynn) | 204 comments We will, Sally, don't worry.

As soon as we're open for business... cause otherwise I'll rec a dozen... I need me some adult supervision.

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

Laventeli | 9 comments Hi!
Do we count books that we were in the middle of before coming to challenge?
If so i just finished rereading Rivers of London which is a first book of the series. I am going to continue the series so you can put me on the second and third book of series spot too. Oh also free book would be easy to fill. I listen a lot of audiobooks in work and i get them from library so it fits.

Laventeli | 9 comments Well if you have them ready to go, why not? At least all of us have had enough time to participate so I see no harm filling the easy ones. Maybe leave one or two.

Should we try to assign harder tasks or are we waiting until we come across fitting books naturally? After all we are not in hurry.

I will have one for the cover with water.
