Tower Team C: C Us Win! Showing 1,401-1,450 of 1,836

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Hope, you are not signed up for Round II. Did you want to join?

[Barbara ★]

I finished which works for (#2 time travel and #7 first in series).

I'm still working on which started strong and morphed into boring political crap.

Today I'm going to read which I need for a challenge. Should be a quickie as it's under 200 pages.

[Melissa (ladybug)]

how do you sign up for round II?

[Andrea]

I do, what does it mean to be in round two? Still trying to understand
Would I stay on the same team, but its just another round?

While we will try to keep you with some people you know, there will be smaller groups this time around, Hope. It is all about balancing the books/numbers so the teams are equal.

                                         ♥Robin's♥ March “C Us Win” Challenge

Duration: March 1st through 31st. Any book read since then counts!

1. Luck - All books with “luck” in the title, the series name, or a major theme, count.
2. Time - Time Change (since we do Spring forward an hour on March 10). So, Time
    Travel books, or anything with a watch or clock on the cover, count.
3. Lion/Lamb: March is “in like a lion; out like a lamb.” We’ll count books with
    an animal on cover, or one where an animal plays a pivotal role in the story-line.
4. Wind: March is usually windy so generally a good time to fly kites. All books with
    bright colors, or diamond shapes, or is set in Chicago, (known as “The Windy City”)
    will count.
5. Women’s History Month: All books with a strong female character as a Main
    Character or is book about a notable woman in history, count.
6. The Girl Scouts: Founded in March, 1912. So, count books with a character that
    bakes, cooks, works with girls, or otherwise deserves a badge. Even a book that
    has food that you could make cookies with on cover, as they are known for their
    cookies!
7. First & Third: March used to be the first month of the year! First in a series, or the
    third, will count.
8. Hylad Monath/Hraed Month: The Anglo Saxons used to call March by this
    name, which means “stormy month” and “rugged month,” respectively. All books
    with stormy/rainy weather on the cover or “rugged” man **sigh** count.
9. Summer Ending/Spring Coming: Some of us are experiencing the End of
    Summer (Australia), some seeing the Coming of Spring (America). So, any titles with
    “Summer” or “Spring” in them - or any covers that depict signs of them, count.

I Capture the Castle takes partly place in springtime but it's up to you if it counts for the challenge.
In Bed with a Highlander is first in series and has a "rugged" man on cover :)
To the Nines has really bright cover and a really strong female character, too :)

So at least the two last books can count for challenge!

[Lisa Kay]

I probably won't do a regular Wednesday Update, but I thought I would post after I did so...just because.

[Cathie]

You rock Lisa Kay! :-)

[Lisa Kay]

☺ You are pretty cute yourself, Cathie.

[Cathie]

lol, Lisa Kay. Ok, i'm going to try and pull a cute one here...I have read over 200 pages of Carnival of Souls and I absolutely hate it...I don't want to read anymore, big big pout. I'm really not having a good time...wah, wah, wah. Question: turning nice all of a sudden, lol...can I count it as a book for this challenge because I have read 205 pages?

[Lisa Kay]

**snortsnort** Sorry, no. You have to finish a book to get credit for it, Cathie. (view spoiler)[I'm with you, though I've only read up to Chapter 16. Not enjoying it as much as everyone else.(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Cathie]

Ok, that's fair...but I'm still not finishing it :-)

[Aneeqah]

Finished up , and it would work for Category 5, as the main character is super fierce.

Thanks for the update, Lisa Kay!

[Christal]

Finished (#7), (#5), and (#6).

[Barbara ★]

You are way ahead of the game and it is much appreciated.
(view spoiler)[
(hide spoiler)]

[Kme_17]
