I'm contemplating about switching my two remaining books from green cover to Fae books. Any other Fae book suggestions anyone?
I was curious about something? I'm reading this book right now about a girl that might fit in well in the Wallflower category. The thing is she's not really plain by any stretch of the imagination, but she does have a couple of features that might be overlooked by normal people, she's also sort of seen as an oddity do you think she might be good for this category?
Yes you did! I mean wow.
I finished mine too by the way.

You were able to do two in one month? Jeez Shay, you're more of a book fanatic than me!
And to think I was afraid I wouldn't get done!
I didn't think anyone would mind but I don't like making assumptions if I can help it that's why I asked. Thanks Sans!
Hey Lisa? For month Month 3 when it says read your sign? You mean like if your a gemini or a ares right?Just making sure.
I was just wondering is it ok to use a book for this challenge if your already using it for the My Hero challenge?
I was just curious, thanks guys!

I need an opinion, has anyone read Night Pleasures by Sherrilyn Kenyon? in your opinion which category do you think Amanda Devereaux fits in the best?I'm thinking about putting her in either The Professional Heroine category or The Brainiac Heroine category? Any opinions?
It's going until March of next year, so if you you get bored or run of challenges you'll still have time to be a part of it.
I have some other March challenges that I'm doing so for the moment I'm sticking with the easy level.Easy Level - Option Four
2/3 Complete
Done! 3-7-2011 5/5 Stars! Fae Book -
Not Sure when I'll be starting, but I know Ill be doing at least one book for each heroine. I've somehow started forming a pattern here! I've decided that most of these are tentative because I'm trying to use books I haven't read yet!
Continue Date?
Level - Easy
4/10 Done
Rich Girl Heroine : Marguerite D'Aubert Goudeau from
Unleash the Night (Tentative Choice!)
Wallflower Heroine : Still working on!
Brainiac Heroine : Amanda Devereaux from Night Pleasures(Tentative Title!)
Spinster Heroine : Olivia Fairfax from The Fortune Hunter
Minx/She-Devil Heroine : Joyous MacQuarrie from Bewitching
Paranormal Heroine : Elizabeth Stevens from A Taste of Magic
I didn't know if you noticed Sans but I came up with a new challenge if you want to have a look at it when you get the chance.
Your allowed to use a book from a challenge your already working on right?
No double dipping is fine, I'm doing that for at least three of the challenges I'm doing so it's fine. I'm just glad I'm getting some takers, Lisa said she liked the idea but I didn't know how popular the challenge would be with the rest of the group though.
So thanks Amy and Sherrie! And to Lisa for helping me out!
That was fast, hope you like this Amy!
I came up with an idea for this challenge after reading one of my books, after getting some professional insight and permission from our fearless leader and moderator Lisarenee as well as some input and encouragement from two of our members Amy and Sherrie.I finally decided to put this idea into action as an official new challenge.
Keep in mind that the title is a little tentative so if anyone can come up with a better title I'd be glad to hear it! So here's how it's gonna work.
This challenge is a spell it out accumulative points challenge, which means if you didn't already know that each word that's spelled out gives a point. I'm going to use gemstone and birthstone names, it's like a regular spell it out challenge except your going to find books to spell out gemstone and birthstone names.
I'm babbling I'm sure you guys know this stuff already! Moving on, here's what the format's going to look like.
Easy Level - Here you can choose to spell out Four,Five and Six lettered gem names. Ex. Garnet, Pearl, Ruby, Opal, Agate; etc. Make sense?
Moderate Level - With this one you can choose to spell out seven and eight lettered gem names. Ex. Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, etc.
Difficult Level - And finally for those of you who are confidant in your reading and reading management skills, this level will allow you to read nine or more lettered gem names. Ex. Moonstone, Bloodstone, Alexandrite, etc.
I hope this is still making sense!
When you have done one of the three difficulty levels, I have a couple ways to earn more points!
Oh yeah and this is a accumulative point challenge, if for example you choose to spell out the gem name Alexandrite the whole gem name will be worth one point. I thought it'd be easier if I did it that way!
As for my other ways to gain more points? Here's the first. When your done with one of the three difficulties (you can do more than one difficulty if you really want too!) I'll give you the option of spelling out your birthstone gem.
Lisarenee's birthstone is Peridot she can choose to try and spell it out after she's done with one or more of the three difficulty levels, (hope you don't mind me using you as an example Lisarenee!)
Last but not least here's part of the challenge that you can choose to do for points or for fun!
I found this helpful site, that has charts with different birthstones. The Birthstones differ based on the culture and certain beliefs.
One of the charts listed is called a Zodiac Birthstone chart, this chart states your birthstone name based on what your astrological sign is. For example, if your a Pisces then one of your gems might be Jade.
I hope everyone's still with me, as I said this last part of the challenge can either be for more points or just for fun it's up to you! If you want to do this last part along with the three difficulties and the bonus, here's the link for the site I found.
http://www.bernardine.com/gemstones/
I don't know how accurate this site is but it intrigued me, I hope you guys are into this!
Oh and if you need help finding out the names or spelling of gems they're listed in website I mentioned above, if you have any questions just put them in either this thread or in the Reading Challenges > Can anyone start a challenge? thread.
I hope you guys are into this, oh and one more thing I'm probably going to have it be a full year challenge like starting March 15th of this year, I'm not sure what time next year it will be ending I haven't completely decided yet.
Enjoy!
