Please let me know if the date assigned to you won't work. So, I can change things around.
I will be contacting you a couple days before the day your items are suppose to be listed to get the list from you. So, if you do not accept messages please friend me.
Absolutely Pat! Would you like to be a picker?
Awesome ! I am definitely in for this. .. and I would like to be a picker as well.
Interesting indeed. Hope I get to be as active through the whole duration.
Sounds like fun Jennifer. Have you done this variation of the scavenger hunt before? Sign me up Jennifer and I will be a picker as well

Nope, no captain job for me this time :D
Please sign me up. I don't want to pick any words though ;)
Mod
Please sign me up too but I'll skip on the picking this time round.
Sign me up to play. I probably won't make it far but I'll give it a go. If you need pickers I'll pick too.
I am in, and if you still need pickers, I can volunteer for that.
Mod
I am in. And I can be a picker as long as my turn isn't April 14th. I will be out of town from 11th to 15th.
This looks good so I'm in and it would be interesting to be a picker :)
I want to give it a go.Just so I understand, say it takes me 2 weeks to finish a book. I can only claim items listed in the second week, even if I found items the first week?
Welcome, Dawn, Hina, TC, Gea, Sunshine & JenniferJ!!!Glad to have all of you join :)

Actually, for this challenge you have to finish the book within the week the items are listed.
For example: Items will be listed April 7th. You will have to have any books you read done by April 14th. If the book isn't finished within the week the items you found will not count.

General Rules and Info
This challenge will be an Individual twist on the TLC Team Scavenger Hunt.
* The challenge will start April 7th and will run through June 30th.
* Each week 10 items will be posted. The items will be picked by a different player each week. The items will only be good for 1 week. You will have until Noon the following Monday to claim your items read.
* To claim an item you must find the item in a book or books you are reading that week and you must finish the book/s to be able to claim the item.
You can find all your items in 1 book or in 10 different books, or any combination in between.
* Players will get 1 point per item they claim in the allotted time frame. Points will accumulate through the challenge and the player with the most points at the end of the challenge will be announced the winner.
* The items are going to be picked by the players, submitted to Jennifer ♔Princess Penguin♔ and will be posted Monday at Noon (Eastern Daylight Savings Time). When signing up please state whether or not you would like to be a picker.
* You can read any format or length of book. Dead tree versions, ebook, audio, novel, or novella. However, the book must be listed on GoodReads. Re-reads are ok, but you can only claim the book for one week’s items.
* You must provide a link to the book, the date you read it, a 1-5 star rating, the location & the sentence you found the item in. If you don’t provide all those items you will not get the point. Also, feel free to write a review but it is not mandatory.
* You can claim points all at once for the week, or after each book you finish, but points not claimed by Noon the following Monday will be forfeit.
*Each week a different player will pick the items. Please start thinking of some items now. You can use items from other GR Scavenger Hunts if you like, but the item can only be used once for this challenge. So if someone posts an item you had chosen before your week to post you will need to come up with another item.
*Items can be as hard or as easy as you like, but they should be things that can be found in multiple books, and genres. For example, you could choose the word "ring". Which could mean a ring on your finger, the ring of a bell or a ringing in your ears. If you wanted to make it harder use “diamond ring” to exclude bells or ears ringing. I suggest using a few easy and a few hard when it is your turn to post.
ETA-You may use a book you started before the list is called as long as you only use words after the page you started with. For example: You start a book on Sunday and you are on page 100 at noon (est) on Monday. You may use that book but only claim items after page 100.
