This one can be a little tricky, so read the instructions carefully.
Start with a book of your choice and then find your next book using a 鈥渓ink鈥 to either the book title or the author's name.
A few simple rules:
1. You can add to the beginning or the end of the chain but not the middle.
2. You cannot re-order the chain after you've added a book to it.
3. The linking word or author may be used more than once in the chain but not consecutively, so no chaining of the same author鈥檚 name or series title. For example, you CANNOT link
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer鈥檚 Stone with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
OR The Lake House by Kate Morton with The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton
4. We will accept a pluralized word as a linking word, i.e., Baby, followed by Babies. We will also accept variations of the same verb, i.e., Runs and Ran or Running. Name variations are also acceptable. John/Jonathon, Kathleen/Kate/Cathy, etc. You can also connect a first name to a last name, such as William/Williamson.
5. Common words cannot be used as a link in the chain. (i.e., "the", "and", "with", etc.)
6. You can read the books in any order, but DO NOT POST THEM unless they are connecting with the book above or below. Remember, you can't re-order the books once posted.
Here鈥檚 an example from my 2021 book chain.
Ghost by Jason Reynolds
The Ghost Brigades by John Scalzi (ghost)
The Light Brigade by Kameron Hurley (brigade)
