A MC that is the same age.
A MC who works the same job as you.
A MC who did the same sports in high school.
Hope that helps.

And Bookbuyer, we'll try out another team challenge soon. We just haven't had the best luck with them in the past. I think now that we're having more consistent participation they would go better. :)

As Courtney said, we might try one soon, but we had problems with participation in the past. Now that we have more people joining the challenges, we might try something.:)

It’s funny that you both mentioned scavenger hunt. Mostly because our next TEAM and SOLO quarterly challenges will be exactly that. Solo will be looking for specific words. Team will be looking for a bunch of stuff: words, cover colors, something specific, or whatever else our evil minds came up with. The sign ups for those two will be up in March. The challenge itself will be from April to June. So get excited.

HELLO EVERYONE!
Does anyone want to see a particular challenge next year? Whether it's for yearly, quarterly, or monthly! If it's something we've done but you want us to jazz it up or switch things around OR if you want to see something that we haven't done yet!
I know I would love some ideas for next year but would love to hear from the members!

We could play it similar to the iSpy game with 1-2 books per week that are the same for everyone, or the mods could each choose a variety of books and cycle them through.
My other idea is a book chain challenge. This could be done with an initial book that we have to link for the title and author, for instance, the prompt book might be A Ghost for Christmas, then I could read Christmas and Other Things I Hate, another player could read Hate List, and so on until we hit a wall. I know this one would be difficult to coordinate because it would require people to read books based on other people's books but if we did it as a December challenge or something it could work because a lot of people would be reading books with holiday words in the title.
In general I'd love to see more book and Goodreads-based challenges on here.

Ooh and also ones based on really old game shows like Classic Concentration or Supermarket Sweep. Or any game shows. Or based on a cooking show, especially an amateur one like Nailed It.
Ooh, and more song based ones. Not necessarily spell-outs like the summer one but more task based on titles or lyrics
Sorry I have way too many ideas lol

While I was getting new tires the other day I randomly came up with the idea of a boy band challenge, needless to say I was there a while. Made a whole chart and everything, do with it anything you want if you like the idea!

Ah! Wasn't here yet! :P :)
Would love a repeat! :)
I'm also liking this quarter werewolves vs. vampires vs. fairy, where you can choose where your points go in the three categories, by the way! :)

This could be adapted to pages where everyone works together to build it up to some crazy number like 131,072 (2^17) and then work together to slay it (131,072 x 3 = 393,216). You could also do teams where both the teams build it up for X number days and then have to slay each other's created monsters.

Sorry for just seeing this now Kade! We have done a hangman type challenge before - I like to do some word ones every once in a while, in this group. So, we might be due for another soon.

Hmm... I'm not quite sure what the next quarterly will be about... so you might see it then.
For the monthly challenge, I will mostly likely do Disney Villains for September and then another movie-type challenge in October. Might make a 2-month challenge for November to December. So, you might see a task like that in that challenge too.
Lots of possibilities.
