Would Twice work or would it have to be in number form like 2nd?"

Twice would not work, but Second would. Twice is not an ordinal number as it does not show what order the number goes in. It can be in word format.

Does that make sense?

A few suggestions off the top of my head:
[bookcover:Alif the Unseen|1..."

Thanks. Djinn Rummy it is, as I still need an H for the A-Z Author.

Read a book that has a word in the title that is related to the weather in some way. Such as cloud, frost, rain, sun.

Why only 4? I thought we were going till we had 30 tasks...

Read a book that has an ordinal number in it (1st, 2nd, etc; not 1, 2).

Read Cut and Run for Task 18 (gay).

5/5 Finished!

Oh, I missed it. Happy birthday. Hope you have an amazing year!

I agree, good idea!

Doesn't life just seem brighter now? :)"

Yeah, now if life would slow down enough to let me figure out what I want to read next month, I would be so happy!

Oh, that works great. I never thought of overlap. I read a separate a book for each letter of each word last time...

I might join, when you watching?

Yeah, I will upload when I get a chance. Today we have venomous snake handling training so I'm super busy...

Any suggestions on which of his books are good? I haven't read any yet...

My spot... Two again, overachiever status likely.

Aargh, I just typed a long comment and there was some problem saving it so I have to start again...

I had an awesome weekend. Did really well and am pleased with my results. I came 20th out of 27 and moved up the rankings to 34!

In the team competition we came 4th!

I also had loads of fun and learnt lots, even if I was absolutely exhausted by the end of the day.

Really well, will update that thread now...

Ooooh [bookcover:Timele..."
Yes, perfect!

I think it could be fun. I'd join in. Maybe leave it as an open type of challenge though, so we need to do x number of tasks related to our genealogy, but we can think up the tasks themselves ourselves based on what we know/can find out about our families

Read the latest book in a series that already has four or more books. So trilogies don't count. You don't have to read the earlier books in the series.
