Congratulations Hobbits! Without counting the Book Advantage Points we have earned, the team has now read 500 books!

[Turtlecollector Dennis]

We are also at 21/75 books for the August Scattergories challenge, almost one third of the way to earning the BAP for August. Keep up the great reading!

[Ezi]

We are doing well :)

I have no idea when my last update was so I'll cover only August books. ☺

Plan to read (in nearer future):

[Turtlecollector Dennis]

For September's Mod Challenge:

The books we read must fit into one of the following challenges:

1. A Book a Day Keeps the Boredom at Bay (chosen by mods)

2. Animal Alphabet Challenge (chosen by captains since it is spell out with multiples of every letter of the alphabet)

3. One more NBRC Challenge still to be determined by the team and captains

One-third of the books we read must fit into the first challenge, the rest of the books must somehow fit into the other 2 challenges.

Important Items that must be Decided

1. We(captains) need to know which members would like to participate in this challenge for September. The following is a list of members and how many books might be required to be read that month. The following numbers are to give you an idea of what may be required for you to read so that you can decide if you are interested or not. The final numbers may differ by a book or two.

These are based on current individual goals
Turtlecollector 22-32

Tea 12-18

Jojiwoji** 10-15

Dee 1

Sanz 3-5

Karen 5-8

Ezi 17-25

Melissa 17-24

md** 1

Jenny 4-6

Jordan 2-3

Team Total 94-138(only if everyone participates)
**means current individual goal is currently being reconsidered

2. The actual total of books the team will need depends on how many members are participating. Only the books read by the participating members will be counted for this challenge. If a participating member does not read as many as he/she thought and another member reads more than he/she thought, that is OK. The individual goals are a guideline and the team total is the number that must be reached to complete the challenge.

3. The lower number is the least that the team will need to read in order to earn any BAP. As more books are read, it is possible to earn more BAP.

4. If a member wants to plan what they are reading in September early, or knows which challenge it will fit when they start reading it in September, they can post a message to reserve the spot in one of the challenges so they can be sure their books will count.

*p.s.* I am willing to fit most of the books I read into the first challenge, if that will make it easier for you to decide whether to participate in this challenge or not. I have an idea I would like for the third challenge that is pretty flexible like the Animal Alphabet Challenge will be, but we will come up with several ideas for the team to talk about.

[Turtlecollector Dennis]

Challenges that are my ideas for that 3rd challenge:

50 States Challenge There is one book per state in this challenge

Around the World in 80 Days In this challenge you just have to read a book by an author who is from a different country than yourself (All of Tea's books might fit in this challenge, I haven't seen many Croatian authors in her book list☺)

Decades Challenge This one seems the easiest to me since you just have to read books published from 2003-2013 although there are different amounts of each year allowed

[❀Tea❀]

That just made me spill my cacao all over my desk! ☺
What can I say, they are not that interesting to read. ;)

Which reminded me, I forgot to tag one. ☺
*goes to find a book*
Now I have 2. ☺

[Ezi]

Tea, I'm already doing the Decades Challenge...see Post 17 on that thread. I have been filling it out on my spreadsheet but il update it on Monday.

I'll also do a book a day

We don't have to be part of those challenges for September. All we need is to fit books in them. We'll do it in Hobbit Games thread or we'll start new one.

My Decades Challege is in post #115. And Book a day are on hold for the moment (til September).

If you like mystery books, check this one --> The Mystery, Mayhem, and Murder Squad Reading Challenge .
And I think you said something about Yahtzee when we were discousing August game.

*evil laugh*

[Melissa (ladybug)]

I would like to be involved. :D

[❀Tea❀]

Melissa (ladybug) wrote: "I would like to be involved. :D"

Of course you can be involved. ☺
Do you have any wishes what would you like to cover? Or you are like me, read first, try to fit into challenge later?

We need to know who wants to play September Mods' game, because our final book count for challenge depends on it.

[Melissa (ladybug)]

I prefer to read first and then try to fit into a challenge later. :D I am dependent on the monthly Bookmobile for my books and don't know what books they will have. :D

[Ezi]

Oh Tea...Nika is trying to get me to play that Yatzhee again. I doubt it though but I might.

Again? This one was just started. It's here in NBRC.

What's another challenge? One more can't hurt. ☺

[Turtlecollector Dennis]

New news, the Animal Alphabet actually will count as the third challenge, so we need one that is an A-Z challenge. My suggestion in this case would be the one dealing with titles, but there are other ones dealing with character or settings etc that are possible as well. Does anyone else have a preference?

[❀Tea❀]

And here I thought A-Z & Spell-out are same thing with different name. ☺ Yeah, I know one is alphabet and other one is spelling different words, but they look the same.

I think titles would be the easiest. Or maybe authors.

Does that mean I don't have to read non-Croatian authors? :P

Yes, some were made by different Mods, so kind of hard to fix them.

I knew I shouldn't have clicked on that The Mystery, Mayhem, and Murder Squad Reading Challenge! I was hoping to make my TBR list smaller not bigger....

I think I can probably manage a book for the Sept challenge
