The Challenge | Tom Hoyle
19 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
The Challenge by Tom Hoyle, bestselling author of Thirteen, is a gripping adventure thriller about an online game gone wrong. Ben's been grieving for his best friend, Will, who suddenly disappeared from their tiny village a year ago. But when twins Sam and Jack begin at the school, things start to look up. Cool, good-looking and popular, they draw Ben into their world and introduce him to The Challenge. What first appears to be a fun internet game quickly turns sinister as Ben's tasks become wilder and more dangerous, starting to raise questions over Will's disappearance. But once you're involved with The Challenge, it's very hard to get out . . .

This is the #Litsybitsy photo challenge. From June 21 - September 21. The idea is to take your reading outside, either book or audio, get some fresh air, look around, take a pic to match a prompt (does not need to be in order) Tag @Cuilin and oh and there maybe a prize in it for whoever meets the most prompts!! 🎁
All are welcome, please tag and share. Would love to see people‘s pictures.

ImperfectCJ Just realized...I don't know what a lane way is. Just, like, a road, or is there something else to it? 4y
Cuilin @ImperfectCJ Sorry, it‘s a narrow well defined passage. Usually surrounded by hedges but not always. 4y
ImperfectCJ @Cuilin Thanks! We must have some of those around here somewhere... 4y
Cuilin @ImperfectCJ have fun searching 👀 4y

I did pretty well this year for the #GoodreadsChallenge 🤗📚💓
I am waaaaay behind where some of my Goodreads friends are, but it's not a competition. It's a mutual love for books that we share! I'm just starting a few books that I have really looked forward to reading. Can't wait to delve into 2020 and see what it has to offer me. Happy reading Listy friends! 🎉🥂
#goodreads2019

wanderinglynn That‘s awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🥳 4y
ItsAnotherJen I would of read more if I hadn't binge watched all the seasons/episodes of- The Game of Thrones AND The Office. Now I'm obsessed with The Walking Dead, and Schitt's Creek. I'm telling myself this is what is keeping me the well rounded woman I am. Lol 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ 4y

It‘s an enjoyable book. Jumps straight into action making you not want to put down the book. Benny the main character lost his best and only friend. He meets twins Sam and Jack who are a bit different from normal kids and help him find the murderer.

Kaye Thanks for the repost Missy. 🌹 5y
tracey38 I may join when it starts staying lighter later. It's dark when I get home from work and we don't have streetlights in this neighborhood. 5y
Crazeedi I will try to join in after I get my hip replacement the end of the month, I need to get out and start walking but too difficult for me at the moment☹️ 5y

ofbooksandme It's summer here so I can definitely do some walking! Will try to join as much as I can. 5y
Kaye Would like for you all to join in as you‘re able. I‘m hoping to keep this going . I figure if we can walk through the wi yer, the rest of the year should be a piece of cake. 5y
Bklover @tracey38 Great idea! I wouldn‘t want to walk in the dark either! 5y
ErinC I‘m in! Just the motivation I needed today 5y
Bklover @Crazeedi Hope all goes well with the hip replacement! I‘ll bet you‘ll feel so much better after your recovery! 5y
Bklover @ofbooksandme Good! Glad you‘ll be joining us! 5y
Bklover @ErinC Me too! This challenge @kaye started is such a good idea. I tend to be a giant slug in the winter. My first walk today was actually enjoyable! (Who knew that was even possible!!😉) 5y
Crazeedi @Bklover thank you, I know I will! 5y

I‘m steering away from most challenges this year except 3:

- #Nonfiction2019
- Reading books I already own with Goodreads #MountTBR
- Catching up on series I‘ve already started or already own with @TheSpineView #SeriesRead.

TheSpineView Good luck!😊 5y
NovelGirl82 I didn‘t know this was a challenge, but that‘s pretty much what I‘m doing this year. Did you see how sadly behind I am on series? 🤦‍♀️ 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @NovelGirl82 @NovelGirl82 Nope, but let me go look... I was just off making my own dismally behind lists! 5y

Gezemice Nice to take a break from challenges. I am doing that, too, except for ATY, because that is easy to fill with random reading. But #shakespearereadalong and #ookbookclub will keep me plenty busy, and I want less planned reading so I can explore more. 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Gezemice I completely understand that, less planned so I can explore and catch-up a bit on things that have been hanging out on my shelves. 5y
Bookzombie I have been chipping at this the last couple of years, but still have tons to get to. 5y

#Goodreadsreadingchallenge @Books_Wine_Repeat I‘d say I‘m doing pretty well so far. Even though I set my challenge for 250 I‘d like to really do about a book a day and hit 365. I‘m hoping I‘ll do it this year. Lol I like to set myself up for success and set the bar low so when I go over it‘s super exciting!!!

Books_Wine_Repeat Wow! Great job! I hope you make your goal. 👍 6y

ReadingRover @Books_Wine_Repeat @Scurvygirl @Reggie @sudi Last year I got to 300 with graphic novels and children‘s books in there but this year I‘m trying extra hard!!! 6y
vkois88 You can do it!! Awesome numbers ❤ 6y
ReadingRover @vkois88 Thank you! 🙏 I was just picking up a mix of all sorts of books from the library & trying to do the math. I‘m about 30 books behind schedule if I want to get 365 in for the year. 😝 This is why I stopped doing all the other challenges! I have unrealistically high expectations of myself & I make things not fun. 😬 I need to chill. Hence the increase in the number of self help books this year! 😂 6y
