I need to actually pick one of these and start working on this!.... maybe after Round II is over of Tower Teams! :D
And I need to come here and update this sometime. But not now, I'm reading, LOL!
Hi,I'm trying to put this Challange together (not sure if it will work out) and I'm not sure if this book would fit the criteria
House Arryn:
Option 3: Read a book in which a falcon or another bird of prey plays a significant role in the story. Bird shifters are fine, too!
Would be grateful if someone could give me a hint ^^"
Sorry for the late reply, Gesa, I was out of town......Anyway, yes, that book would definitely work.
No problem Lisa and thanks for the answer :)
Sorry to bother you all again with my search for the right books, but sometimes I find it quite hard to find the fitting books... maybe because I've find the fitting books in German or because I'm not sure about the content ^^"Again I'm still thinking about House Arryn 3rd Option: Read a book in which a falcon or another bird of prey plays a significant role in the story. Bird shifters are fine, too!
I was askin myself if The Raven Boys would be fitting, since I'm not sure about sure about the content and such... Just a little hint would be nice ^^"
And my new one is the 2ed Option for House Stark: Read a book set in winter, that involves snow, or in which a character keeps an unusual pet.
I was thinking about Shiver but it is not directly set in Winter, but it plays as I get it a big role in it and as a little extra its about Wolfs/Werewolfs. So would it be okay to read it for this option?
And yes they are both from the same author ^^ And I really look forward to read a book from her so no surprise she would show up in my list *g*
Thanks alot of any answer ^^"
Gesa, yes, without spoilers, The Raven Boys has a bird of prey in the storyline.Also, Shiver works because Sam has lived two lives, on in winter in the frozen woods).
Super! Then I guess I have a good list will post it the next days ^^ Thanks Lisa!
Wow, 3 days of work and I really found at least two books for every option from every house. Or so I hope (⌒_⌒;) Yeah, okay, I won't r ead two books for every option, but I like to have a choice which I will read (that's also why some boooks appear more than once). And I also bet, that selecting the books was a lot more fun than reading them and keeping this thing up to date. But I will read a lot of these books, since I've my own little challenge of updating my series or finishing them of. And since I'm from Germany you will find a lot of german books in my list ;)
And here we go! And if something doesn't fit or other stuff like that, just feel free to tell me. :D
Edit (3. Jan. 2014): Came up with a few changes, thanks to fact that I sorted out a lot of books, and decided a to end a few series and such thing.

Okay, finally back to this one. I think I'll use August 1st, 2013 (the day I first commented on this thread!) as a starting date, and I'll go until I've finished all the options under each House AND done the spellout of the motto for each. It'll take a while, so I'll set a "soft" deadline of December 31, 2014... and will extend that if I need to to complete everything! :DI'll be tracking it in my spreadsheet with occasional updates on here, and will post each House as finished!
Wish you luck Steven and fun (of course)!

LK! Question: What are the rules for book length/etc for this? I'm so stuck up on the TTRC rules that I'm secondguessing what I can use here! Graphic novels? Novellas? Short stories? etc.
