Hey friends!! The #PromptMaze is back for #HauntedShelf !!! I don't have a lot of time, so I have reused all of last year's prompts and shuffled them around haha Below is the link!! You will need to MAKE A COPY and then you will be able to edit your own copy so that you can see the prompts. I went ahead and left the 2023 edition available as well, so if you want an added challenge you can work your way through two mazes - same prompts, but since⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont\'d) they are in a different order, you shouldn\'t be working on the same prompt for both mazes. Each book can count for ONE PROMPT PER MAZE (so you it can only count for one prompt in the 2024 maze, but it can also count for one prompt for the 2023 maze, if that makes sense). This counts as a readathon, so if you are participating in #HauntedShelf you can earn 10pts per hour reading a book that fits a prompt.

Below is the link - let me know ⬇

PuddleJumper 🖤🖤 Love this! Thank you! 2mo
TheAromaofBooks @PuddleJumper - I am not good at understanding how to add things to the main Google Drive folder 😂 So please feel free to add the spreadsheet to it if you like!! 2mo
PuddleJumper @TheAromaofBooks I\'ve added a link in the readathon document. I\'ll see if I can add the actual thing. I don\'t know either! I just poke at things until they work 😅 2mo
Larkken Yay! This is always fun 😃 2mo
Deblovestoread Yay! 🧡🖤🧡 2mo
Allylu Thank you!!! 💕😊🎃🧙‍♀️📚 2mo
LibrarianRyan This is just evil. I never get very far. 2mo
Read4life Thank you! 🎃👻🐈‍⬛ 2mo
TheAromaofBooks @LibrarianRyan - I always seem to end up stranded in some loop, despite my attempt to make it difficult to get stranded in a loop 😂 2mo
PuddleJumper All of the cells are empty for me 😅 2mo
TheAromaofBooks @PuddleJumper - Are they all still black? You will need to select the cell you want to see, and then choose a not-black background color. Theoretically then the words should be visible, since they are also black 😂 2mo
PuddleJumper @TheAromaofBooks No, all the cells are white. Nothing shows up if I change background colour or font colour 2mo
TheAromaofBooks @PuddleJumper - Hmmmm I don\'t know what else to try because I am terrible with tech 😂 Is it blank when you click on the link, or is it blank when you make a copy for yourself? 2mo
PuddleJumper @TheAromaofBooks Sorry, I'm a moron. The app wasn't showing me there were more sheets. I was on the first page 🤦‍♀️ 2mo
TheAromaofBooks @PuddleJumper - Yay, I\'m glad you got it figured out!! I am not the best with computer stuff so no judgment here 😆 2mo
willaful Ack, how did I miss this?! 1mo
TheAromaofBooks @willaful - You can totally start with whatever book you read first in October and work your way forward from there if you want!! 1mo
willaful @TheAromaofBooks you know I do! 😂 1mo

I had so much fun with my first time trying a prompt maze. I finished 9 books to get to the end. Thanks for hosting, @TheAromaofBooks!

repost for @TheAromaofBooks:

This year, I've created a special edition #PromptMaze for the #Scarathlon ! Many of the prompts can be filled by reading mystery/thriller/paranormal/etc although there are also some genre-neutral prompts as well. The link is below, and to participate you will want to go to File, then Make a Copy. The first tab on the spreadsheet has the instructions.

Hey friends!! Thanks so much for your comments on my other post - so glad you all are enjoying the #PromptMaze challenge, even if some of us are hopelessly lost in there! 😂 I realized after I posted it that I've done these quarterly and technically Q4 doesn't start until OCTOBER 1, not September. But since I (a) already created the Q4 maze and (b) am hoping to have a separate #Scarathlon maze for October anyway - here's the Q4 maze, quite early!⬇

TheAromaofBooks Anyone is welcome to join this just-for-fun challenge (I'm tagging the regulars). Just click on this link - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XzUxq7VU8jZt4TzOB-cQIOLgYr9NG5CZ--xoKsdr... - and when the document opens, click File and then Make a Copy. This will give you your own copy that you can edit, which will allow you to un-black-out the cells. This link includes all four of the prompt mazes that I have made so far. ⬇ 2y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) I like to play all the mazes at once, and as I read a book, I just see if it fits anything for my current cell, and I only un-black-out cells as I get to them, but feel free to play however works for you - you can uncover them all and strategize, or whatever!! All the cells are just “filled“ in black, so to uncover them, highlight the chosen cell, click on the little paint bucket, and then choose the color you'd rather have. I keep ⬇ 2y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) completed cells white and my current cell teal, but make up whatever system works best for you!!

Happy reading!!

So I had this idea for a challenge a while back, where you have a few prompts and depending on which one you check off, that directs your path to the next set of options. A sort of choose-your-own adventure except with reading prompts 😂 I wasn't sure how to make it work, but came up with (obviously brilliant) idea of putting it into a spreadsheet, where each cell is a step in the maze. So I'm posting the link to the Google sheet and if anyone ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) wants to try to find their way through, please join me!! I've blacked out all the cells so you can't see any of the other prompts unless you purposefully un-highlight it (so you'll have to save a copy in order to use the maze). You can leave it that way, or un-highlight the entire thing so you can strategize. You can use one book per square, or if a book checks off a prompt, and then also checks off a prompt in the next square, you can ⬇ 3y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) go as far as you can with that book. However works for you - this isn't a very organized challenge because I'm still kind of figuring it out as I go. So if you try it and enjoy it (or hate it LOL) let me know and let me know if you think it can be improved!! I've been playing with it all month. You can also make it an official 2022 challenge for starting... or start tonight, I'm cool with whatever, but let me know if you make it to the ⬇ (edited) 3y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) finish. Here's the link - I'd love to know your thoughts!!!!

TheAromaofBooks @janeycanuck - Don't worry, I have a little lookout tower so just send up some distress flares if you get lost! 😂 3y

claudiuo Love the maze idea! Finished a non-fiction book yesterday (The Man Who Saw Through Time by Loren Eiseley - not in the Litsy db) even if I wasn't planning on it for this month, so now I can move on to the next stage. Thank you so much! All your ideas are awesome and help me read more! (edited) 3y
TheAromaofBooks @claudiuo - I'm glad that you are enjoying it!! I have been stuck on my third space for the last couple of books! 😂 3y

#ReadYourSign book eight: The Art of Pilgrimage, which features my ruling number in the total page count. I haven‘t read a spirituality-focused book in a minute, so it was nice to get back into the groove with this one. I definitely want to check out Cousineau‘s other books now.

A book about mazes that is itself a maze. Yes 👍.

Soubhiville This is really cool! May I ask when the entire book will be posted? My topics bookclub has chosen “fairytale or myth retellings” for our Feb topic, and if your book is completely posted by then, I‘d love to make it my choice. 😊 5y
JazzFeathers @Soubhiville you've made my day with this comment 💚 Unfortunately, l've only just started posting and l think it will take me about a year to finish. But thanks so much for asking. 5y
