The Lost Challenges discussion

Ok I got this idea from RRRC

Just like all the other A-Z challenge you read the ABC but this is a little different you are going to use you friends on GR

EX
I'm reading Wither and I use the name of a friend that has read this book. I could use my friends
Starlight25 for S or Alix for A. And so on.

If you have any qustion just ask. Anyone can add me as a friend

For the hard letters you can use any friend with that letter in his/her name
Q,X,Z

Hmmm I may need more friends but I will give it a go.

If anyone needs a D friend feel free to friend me.

CHALLENGE COMPLETE

i would like to play this for 2013 as well will it be offered?

This one doesn't have a set timeframe. You can start it at any time, and take as long as you need.


I need to get some more friends for all the letters.

Sounds like fun!!!!

great thanks. -- but i'd better not start anything else for this moth, i am already so overcommitted.

Lizz, can we use The Lost Challenge group members if we don't have a friend for a particular letter - like RRRC allows?

There's a quick and easy way to check friend's bookshelves. I have a shelf for books I want to read in 2013 so I compare that shelf to my friends shelves. To do this...

Click on your friends icon (upper right corner next to your avatar) and sort the list by first name. Under Sort by is a compare books link for each friend. Click the link and on the right side of the next screen (above the advertisement) you can select a shelf to compare. Leave their shelf on all because the book just has to be on their shelves but select which shelf you want to compare from your shelves. If you don't have a specific shelf you want to compare just leave it at all and up to 100 books will be shown. This will bring up a smaller list which is much faster than checking their shelves one by one.

Barbara, I am going to say yes. I have lots of friends but not one for every letter that would help alot.

Thanks for posting this Barbara.

I'd also call U a hard letter since there are no group members whos names start with that letter.

I'm going to start over for 2013.
