As far as the Mods are concerned, they are acceptable. They transport people.

Clarification: You do NOT need to join a NBRC challenge, if you don't want to. You DO need to select them together and work on them as a Team. You do NOT need to finish them, just the September challenge itself.

Robin (Saturndoo) (robinsaturndoo) | 1359 comments Thanks :) I will play along if you two guide/assist me in placing my books as well as keep me on track of what I should be reading LOL

Since I have been sick I haven't been keeping up very well with posting my books here :( but I hope to get better about it. I have just been reading and placing them on my shelf sorry :(


message 1262: by Cathie (new)

Cathie (catitude) | 999 comments Oh we'll all bumble around together, lol


message 1263: by ✿Claire✿ (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments Of course, and just posting them on the shelf is fine, I check every couple of days anyway and I don't post all of mine on here. The only thing is, if you've read a book that fits in a specific category or fits a 'read by X from another team' then let me know :)


message 1264: by ✿Claire✿ (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments By the way Cathie, does that mean you're definitely in? :)


message 1265: by Cathie (new)

Cathie (catitude) | 999 comments Oh yeah, I forgot to tell ya, lol. Yes, I'm in :-)


message 1266: by ✿Claire✿ (new)

✿Claire✿ (clairelm) | 1222 comments Yay!! Lets bumble around together then (with anyone else who wants to join in :) )

Cathie (catitude) | 999 comments Whoa, that's some serious crashing bumbling ... more like attack hornets!!

(That's a lot of reading, how come so high for one month?)


message 1269: by Susan (susayq ~) (new)

Susan (susayq ~) (susayq) | 450 comments Claire, my favorite part is history. In the upper grades this topics are broken up and taught individually. In the lower grades they're just briefly introducing them.

Moderators of NBRC | 33496 comments Mod
The Short and Sweet of the Mod's September Challenge for BAP:

• As a team you need to read between 7% and 9.9% of your total team participant goal in order to get any BAPs.

• 1/3 of these books needs to fit into the Book a Day challenge of which you may double up and the remaining books need to fit into:
(1) One A-Z challenge which is not a spell-it-out.
(2) One other NBRC challenge.
