Hooked on Books discussion

Join us for the our first year long challenge!
But, as you may be noticing, I don't do anything 'normal'. So this is my
2022 Impossible Challenge!
Challenge begins January 1st, 2022, but you can join in whenever you want and complete as much as you can by December 31st 2022.

For every point you have, you will get 1 entry into a raffle at the end of the year!
I may even give random prizes, so keep your post up to date!

Just start a thread to keep track of your progress. I will be making a spreadsheet to keep track of everyone, but I can't keep track unless you do!


Standard Challenge Rules

CHALLENGE RULES:
*Rereads DO count for this challenge, BUT must have been read more than a year ago.
*One book per prompt.
*Each book can be use TWICE to complete the challenge, but something special if you can complete the entire challenge using each book only once.
*Follow your own time zone. If you finish the book between the challenge dates in your time zone, it counts.
*You must be able to justify how your book fits the prompt. Example: If the theme is cats, then your book can have a cat on the cover, a cat in the book, can be all about cats, etc. If you can justify it, then it will work. Let's keep this easy.
*You may add your books as you plan on reading them, but please DO NOT add your points until you actually finish the book.



Points system:
Some challenges may be harder. For those, I will add extra points.


Please copy the template from below. When you enter your book, please make sure it is linked using the 'add book' button. Please don't use the cover option. Use the text options. The template is long enough and book covers will make the comments go on forever.
Making a template for this was hard. I kept running out of space. So this will have to do.

*For each month you will be asked to spell out the name of the month. You will get bonus points for finishing the name.
*Each month also has a stone, flower, animal, and soul symbol.
*There are also birthday bonuses for each month.

*For each letter, a word in the title or the author's first or last name, must start with that letter.
*For the challenges that names either an animal, stone, flower, or soul symbol, you must read a book with that item in the title, as a character's name, part of the plot, or has a picture of them on the cover.
**If using the stone as a color of the cover, please make sure the cover is at 50% that color.

Moved my post to message 104 and 105 since I ran out of room.

Do we have to do each month while we are in I. Or can we work ahead (of back in later months) to complete each prompt?

Hi Stephanie

Great Challenge....
When spelling out the letters for the month. do all books need to be read in the month you are spelling. So for example do we read 12 books for Janaury?

Also for the spellout - is it title, AFN, ALN, series, genre or MC?...found the answer....helps to read all the posts....lol

Do we just update the template when we finish a book?

Would we complete a line like this?

Stephanie,
Question: For the spell out do we use title and first and last name of author only, or can we also include main characters?
I’m going to be reading “The Doors of January” in January if I can find a way to make it work, unless you’ll be super sweet and let it count since it has the word “January” in the title! :). Already strategizing! Haha!

Stephanie,
Do January books have to be read in January or can we mark a book read in January for another month if the title/author don't work for January?

Also, I was going to read The Ten Thousand Doors of January. Is there a way to get points for a book that has the name of the month in the title?
Thanks so much!
