As you can see by previous post, Moonstone needs only 20 books to finish this round. That probably means we'll be done in next few days, week the most.
I'm not sure if we'll be done when they reach it or if we'll continue 'playing' till next Sunday update. We'll keep you posted when we find out.

[Ezi]

well, we fought:D

[NBRC Book Ninja]

Do you feel lucky?



Task #3 - Random Genre

I will randomly assigned the following twelve (12) genres to a corresponding number.

Contemporary Romance
Fantasy
Historical Fiction
Historical Romance
History
Horror
Mystery/Cozy
Mystery/Thriller
Non-Fiction
Urban Fantasy
Women's Fiction
Young Adult

Go to:

http://www.random.org/dice/

and roll one or two dice.

Come back to this thread and tell me the number you rolled and I'll tell you the genre a member (any member) of your Team needs to read this month.

I will reassign the genre before each Team request.

Yes, if a member has already read that genre, you may count it.

You may NOT use books used in other November tasks.

Any books 160 pages or greater, finished between November 1 - 23, 2013.

Classification will be by the top five most popular 'tags' - according to GRs members.

You will be granted one (1) BAP.

You have until the 23rd of November to earn this point. (Or the end of the TTRC, which looks like November 17th, according to the poll in the "sister" group.)

Until the next surprise.

Post finished task here.

[❀Tea❀]

I've rolled 4.
Now keep your fingers crossed that we get something we've already read. :D

[❀Tea❀]

OK ladies our roll gave us Urban Fantasy.
I'm going to check your shelfs, but feel free to yell if you know you have books that fits. :D

Edit:
I'll go with TC's Magic Bites

[NBRC Book Ninja]

Are you feeling lucky again?



Task #4 - Random Bookcover (Color or Item)

This task like the Random Genre in that I will randomly assigned numbers to all seventeen (17) Teams, as I did with the 12 genres. However, each Team has a corresponding predominant color or item to find on the cover, for what your Team needs to search.

• This is an either/or challenge. You only have to read one book that qualifies for either the ITEM - or the COLOR of the Team you are assigned.

• For predominant color book, it needs to be the edition the Team Member actually read.

• However, if it is an item on the cover, then you may post the actual bookcover and the alternate one (different edition) in which you found the item .

• If you get your own Team number, I will roll/reassign again.



If you can't see the picture chart, refer to list under this spoiler: (view spoiler)[Atomic Tangerine: ITEM Fruit on the cover; rocket; car. COLOR Orange
B'dazzled Blue: ITEM Jewel; some that sparkles. COLOR Blue
Blastoff Bronze: ITEM Fire; something bronze. COLOR Bronze/Brown

Cerulean (Hobbit Blue): ITEM Wizard; door. COLOR Blue or Turquoise
Electric Lime: ITEM Artificial, electric, or neon light source. COLOR Green

Go to:

http://www.random.org/dice/

and roll two or three dice.

Come back to this thread and tell me the number you rolled and I'll tell you the Team Item/Color a member (any member) of your Team needs to read this month.

I will reassign the Team/Color/Item before each Team request.

Yes, if a member has already read a bookcover that works, you may count it.

You may NOT use books used in other November tasks.

Any books 160 pages or greater, finished between November 1 - 23, 2013.

You will be granted two (2) BAPs.

You have until the 23rd of November to earn this point. (Or the end of the TTRC, which looks like November 17th, according to the poll in the "sister" group.)

Until the next surprise.

[❀Tea❀]

Ok guys, I've rolled 6 which gave us:

Forest Green =
ITEM: Tree(s).
COLOR: Green.

I'll go check your shelfs again :D

Edit:
Submitted TC's

[Ezi]

Trees: by Molly Harper (Done 11/11/13).
I am writing brief review now.

Ezinwanyi~For you, Agron wrote: "Trees: How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf by Molly Harper (Done 11/11/13).

I didn't see it in your challenge so I already used another book. If that one doesn't work, I'll submit yours.

[❀Tea❀]

You too Ezi?! In jail? Is TC in cell next to you? :P
Good thing only you two are playing, or we wouldn't have Hobbits left outside. :D
*goes to collect money for bail*

I offered TC to bring her cupcakes (with something sharp in them). You want some too? :D

[Ezi]

LMAO, yes I am in jail:(
I tried so hard to be a good person, but i still landed my butt in jail. Nothing sharp, maybe a book. Can people read in jail? Maybe you can come and flash the guards, distract them while TC jimmies the lock and we can run for it:D


TC, I hope there is no bubba in jail with us:D

Did you at least had Irish pat you down? :P

She needs to write faster

Try to figure out his schedule. We'll coordinate rescue mission with it. If I'm gonna flash someone, I want at least to choose who. :P

Yeah, Abi did great job with guys and I agree with you. She definitely needs to write faster. :D

[❀Tea❀]

Lisa Kay wrote: "You all are cracking me up! **hee hee**"

As you can see, part of us is going same way as one of greatest Hobbits. It's just that TC and Ezi need to work on their skill little more. Burglar Bilbo didn't end up in jail.
Maybe we should schedule another lecture with Bilbo when they get out. :D

[Ezi]

Sneaky bilbo, maybe Burns knows his schedule.
The good thing about jail is you are guaranteed a meal...I forgot my lunch at home and I don't want to buy (spend my money). *Sad face*

can't you just drive a car through the prison gate like regular people? Or dig a tunnel like in Prison Break/Shawshank Redemption?

A tunnel sounds like too much work. But the other is a good possibility...hmmmm.

And where is the fun in that? :P

[Ezi]

Andy Dufresne took 12 years to tunnel out, and Prison Break, Michael and Lincoln etc took 2 years to get out.
Plus Michael got the map tattoed on his body, so you can consider doing a tattoo

Wasn't that supposed to be done before going to jail? :P

If you want to go with Ezi's idea, I'll have a car ready. Just give me the sigh when you're ready (set the sheets on fire or something like that :P).

yea, I hadn't been planning on going to jail. I just landed there:D

Perhaps we should stick with the file in the cake, or car through the gate option:D

I don't think anybody plans to go to jail :P

So you need help or you can handle it yourself?
Safe house is ready for both of you. You'll need to stay low for some time.

What do you think of this picture as a possible avatar for next year?
I got two responses of "It's too scary" from GR homies

Creepy, but my sister would like it and she's an optometrist.

It's gross in a creepy but captivating way. It used to make my skin crawl...but I find myself looking at it often, like I'm hypnotized

Hello Hobbits!

Moonstone probably reached 1350 (they were 2 books short last night before I went to bed).
We are still going on until Sunday, so keep reading and tagging your books. This last few days will decide our position in overall.

Our November challenge will still be open, so we will be able to finish it.


I have to say it was pleasure to hang out with you ladies. I made new friends and got great book recommendations. *sigh* I'm gonna miss this.
See ya all in the next round if not sooner! :D

Task #5 - Novella/Short Story

There are less than seventy-four hours until the last Sunday Update!

For Task #5, I will give you a different kind of mission. One that could create quite a quandary, but will bring a large reward: Five (5) BAPs!

◆ Reading novellas or short stories, spell out:

N.
B.
R.
C.

N.
I.
N.
J.
A.

• The twist is you may NOT apply a book larger than 160 pages, and thus they may NOT be “tagged” towards your TTRC.

• EXCEPTION: They may be in an anthology; this is the only way you may “tag” the completed book, if you do finish the whole book. However, you are NOT required to read the whole book if you use an anthology. Nevertheless, you must use the titles, etc., of the stories within the anthology to do the spelling.

• Short stories must be greater than 10 pages. (view spoiler)[This is nigh impossible for me to check, until it is a stand-alone edition; I'll just have to trust you. (hide spoiler)]

• The same rules as prior Spell-It-Outs apply. (view spoiler)[Title, Author's First/Last Name, Series Name, and Character Name (main). (hide spoiler)]

• They may all be done by one Team Member, or all nine read by different Team Members, it matters not to me.

• Yes, if a short story or novella has been read/finished on November 1st or after, you may apply it.

• You have until Sunday, November 17th, 9:00 a.m. - or your time zone to finish/post Task #5.

Decisions, decisions.

WHATEVER will you do?!!

Until the next surprise.

Post finished task here.

A lesson is adaptability? Or a gift for those who don't have time to finish one more book before Sunday? Your decision.

[❀Tea❀]

Ninja? Still here? :P

If we use one story from anthology for one letter, can we use another story from same anthology for another letter?
