Summer Barbeque Challenge

Welcome to our summer barbeque! For this challenge, teams will be getting recipes and completing them by finding and reading the ingredients. The recipes for this barbeque will range from appetizers to desserts. A fun drink recipe might be in play as well. Each team will get their own recipe.

How to play:
You can use the following ways to find them:
1. Using object(s) on the cover (if applicable—for example, an orange on the cover would work for orange(s). Any edition works.)
2. Using the letters in title, series title, and/or author's first/middle/last name (in any order). Any edition works.
3. Finding the word(s) in text (please state location and passage). Words do not need to be together in the same sentence either.
4. Using the color of the cover (if applicable—for example, an orange cover would work for orange(s). Any edition works.)


You can use a mixture of the following to find ingredients as well. For example, a team gets the following recipe:


Buttery Grilled Shrimp
Ingredients: Large Shrimp, Butter, Chili Powder, Ground Ginger, Salt, and Lemon Juice.


One person reads the following book, Arsenic and Adobo and puts it towards ‘Butter.’ It could look like this,

Arsenic and Adobo (Tita Rosie's Kitchen Mystery, #1) by Mia P. Manansala
Review: add link
Pages: 336
Butter: Pg. 3, "warm rolls with butter"


And another person read the following book, The Chili Queen and puts it towards ‘Chili Powder.’ It could look like this,

The Chili Queen by Sandra Dallas
Review: add link
Pages: 262
Chili Powder: CHILI in title & Pg. 66, "that she powdered over with flour"


The rest of the team would have to find the remaining ingredients for the recipe. Once all ingredients are read for, the team will get 5 bonus points and a new recipe. One book per ingredient.

This challenge will only take place during the month of July. That means books will be accepted from July 1st to July 31st. Winners will be announced on August 1st.

If you start a book before July, you will only be able to count the pages that you read in July for this challenge. If the page amount is over 100 pages, you can still count it towards a category.

When signing up, please mention the number of books you plan on reading for the month of July. This number will be easier for me to make teams match up a bit more evenly.

For example,
Alaina - 20 books
Aly - 25 books
Jamie - 10 books
Jessica - 15 books
Melanie - 10 books
Anshika - 3 books
Saige - 8 books

**You will not be penalized if you go over or under your number.**

The general challenge rules can be found here.

Page Points
1 - 50 pages → 0.25 pts (will only count for page points)
51 - 99 pages → 0.5 pts (will only count for page points)
100 - 149 pages → 1 pt
150 - 249 pages → 2 pts
250 - 349 pages → 3 pts
350 - 449 pages → 4 pts
450 - 549 pages → 5 pts
550 - 649 pages → 6 pts
650 - 749 pages → 7 pts
750 - 849 pages → 8 pts
850 - 949 pages → 9 pts
950+ pages → 10 pts

*Buddy read points will double the page count.
*Reading and participating in the group book of the month will triple the page count
