Welcome to our newest team challenge! Each team will have their own board in which to find five ships that have been hidden.


Ships:
Carrier (5 holes)
Battleship (4 holes)
Cruiser (3 holes)
Submarine (3 holes)
Destroyer (2 holes)

How this works:

For each book finished that meets the rules, players can request 1 spot on the board to "target". Updates will be done (hopefully) on Mondays and Thursdays, and it will be revealed if the spots were hits or misses. When a ship gets "sunk" that will also be stated. When a team finishes a board, they will be given a new board (max 5 boards). The first team to finish all 5 of their boards, wins. :)

Rules:

Books must be at least 200 pages
No picture books, graphic novels, cookbooks...basically anything with little words and majority pictures
Books must be started on or after challenge start date

Example:

Book read:
Tidewater Bride by Laura Frantz
Started: 1/21
Finished: 1/23
Pages: 416
Target spot: B5

Book read:
Crown of Souls by Ronie Kendig
Started: 1/25
Finished: 1/27
Pages: 473
Target Spot: F6

Update:
B5= MISS
F6=HIT

Sarita | 1386 comments @Kimberly - good luck with the treatment. in June 2020 I also went through 6 weeks of radiation treatment. By the end I was a bit more tired so I listened more to audiobooks than actual reading. Thinking of you.
