EEE! I love it! Can't wait!
Awesome :) We will have thread where people who want to dare others (Darer?) should post first before making a new thread, so that we are not going to have the same dare twice :D
ooh I'm intrigued. Another challenge for me to do. Yippee. Can't wait to see what happens.
Happy that you guys are excited about this one! This one sounds really fun! :D
I don't normally do challenges but this one seems fun. :D
So can we start? Can I read books that fit the dares to start earning points? I love the idea of this one!!
Sure! You start whenever you'd like.
Ooh! Yay! :D So shall we wait for others to post or can I post other dares to get the ball rolling? I have a few in mind.. Sorry for all the questions! I hope you don't mind!
It's ok :D I guess we should wait for them.
Okay! So I will start reading some from the dares already posted and start gaining some points!! (:
haha... someone is very competitive :D I'll make the leaderboard later.
haha! I love this challenge! Probably going to be one of my favorites! Awesome! :D Can't wait!
One more question. LOLSay I read a book in one day that is about zombies. Will I get 2 points since it covers 2 dares in one book?
Can we gain points from our own dares or only the dares posted by others?
I'm so sorry. I can't post my dare tonight - I'm one of the adults at a Girl Scout overnight. I'll post it in the morning tho :D

No. actually one book for one dare only. I'll add that to the rules.
Okay! thanks, Gisbelle!
is there a time limit for when we have to read the books?
I think it depends on the dare. Some dares will have set time limits and others will not.
Fun challenge! Is the challenge itself open-ended? (Not the dares -- I know those will depend on the darer's rules, I'm just asking about the challenge).
Another question - is there a limit to how many dares we can create as individuals?
What do you mean, open-ended? Do you mean is there a end date for this challenge? Sorry for the confusion.
Yes, that's what I meant. :)

ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) wrote: "Another question - is there a limit to how many dares we can create as individuals?"Should be no more than 5
But since we don't have many dares posted, I don't think we need to put limitation yet. I'll inform everyone if there is any changes.
Boy! How did I miss this one? This is novel and sounds SO fun and I love dares! Although I always taught my children not to take dares. LOL
I don't like to take dares generally, either, but when it comes to being dared to read? I'm okay with that, hehe!
I love dares :)I still can't create spreadsheet for this challenge. I'm not sure why, but the Google drive hasn't worked properly these last few days.
Awesome! thanks, Gisbelle!
Do the books we read need to be YA?
if the dare is not stated that you have to read YA, any books are possible.

I love this challenge! :D
I love how competitive everyone is! LOL! it's great!I can't wait to see some more challenges too! They are getting really creative! I love it!
It is great! :D And yes, some very creative minds! :D I love this!

So there's no time limit that we have to read the books by after we accept a dare?
Joanne♥~Bookworm Extraordinaire wrote: "So there's no time limit that we have to read the books by after we accept a dare?"Nope. I don't believe so.

We can only read one book per dare? Or can we read two for one and get two points?
Oh I love this! Please sign me up. I'll go figure out where I want to start.
Lindsey, you cannot read one book and use it to earn point from 2 or 3 different dares. But, of course you can more than one book for one dare. Like you think dare 1 is the easiest for you, you can continue reading books for this dare as many times as you want.
