Hooked on Books discussion

❓ Questions & Answers

If you have a question about the challenge, feel free to ask it here.

A few quick clarifications to get started:

How do I begin?
Once your thread is set up, confirm your selected tier (Excerpt, Edition, or Archive) if needed, then check in when you're ready to begin.

Chapter 1 will be provided when the challenge begins.

How do partners move through the challenge?
Both partners each complete a task for each Chapter, post in their thread, and check in together before receiving the next Chapter.

How do I check in?
Post in the Check-Ins & Completions thread with the required link(s). Solo players post one link; partners post both.

Do we have to discuss our books?
No—communication is optional. Some teams will chat often, while others may keep things simple.

What if I’m unsure about a task?
Use your best judgment based on your interpretation of the task. If you're unsure, feel free to ask here.

How should I reference a Chapter when asking a question?
Please include the Chapter title (and number if you’d like) so it’s easy to identify, as Chapter numbers may vary between tiers.

How many books do I need to read?
One book per Chapter.
Each Chapter offers multiple tasks, but you only choose one.

What does a completion post in our thread look like?
Chapter # and Title: (Example: #1 - Bridge & Flow)
Task:
Book/Author:
Date completed:
How it fits:


If something isn’t clear or doesn’t come up here, just ask.

Just some clarification about total overall commitment.

In excerpt does a chapter consist of 3 tasks (beginning, shift, end) resulting in a possible total of 39 books (3 tasks x13 chapters)?

So expanding on this then Edition will be 186 books and Archive 282?

Or the number of chapters will be the number of books?

Or am I completely off the radar?

Just trying to work out my commitment

Each chapter (round) has a list of 5 tasks and you choose 1. If partnering, you'd each choose 1 but they would need to be different. So, the 3 tiers = total number of books (13, 62, 94).

Thank you

Do we need certain info on the completed post? Like book, author etc

Does the "no page minimum" also count for graphic novels?

For this challenge, yes.

I'm a little confused... I believe this starts on 6-May but I'm seeing completion posts already? Can you clarify the timing?

The official start date is May 6.

Some players who checked in early were given the option to begin ahead of time, but this is completely optional. There’s no expectation to start early, and you won’t be behind if you wait until May 6.

Hello,
This is not a question but I NEED to tell you something...
I was born so close from Paris, France, that I could *walk* there, and I've spent most of my 30 first years there, alright ? I *didn't* know there were no STOP signals in the city !!!! So, thank you for teaching me stuff about my hometown :) :) :) :) :)

Thanks for sharing! And now I'm glad that Chapter 1 was the first one you saw!

Hey, quick question... Are re-reads allowed, and if so does the 6-month rule apply?

The standard rule of 6-months for re-reads.

Thank you! I figured that but just wanted to make sure 😁

🧭 Characters move through many different locations.

Could dual time lines work for this? My book jumps back and forth between two women living on the exact same property centuries apart.

I'm leaning toward no on this one. The task is about characters physically moving through different locations, rather than the story shifting between different characters or time periods. Since both women are living on the same property, I don't think the dual timeline alone would qualify.

alright .... thanks for getting back quickly.

Danielle, I think we got the wrong prompt. We should be on #38 - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
