Gisbelle | 25787 comments We have decided to introduce another challenge to our group which we'd like to call "I Dare You To..."

How To:
- This challenge will be a little similar to Weekly Theme Reading Challenges except participants may start whenever they'd like
- Anyone can start a "dare" as long as the dare hasn't been posted already
- Each dare should require participants to read ONE BOOK
- Participants may accept as many or as few dares as they wish
- Participants may accept the same dare as many times as they wish
- After completing a dare, the participants will receive ONE POINT
- LEADERBOARD
- You need to read different book for each dare

If you have any questions or suggestions if post below.

message 3: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments 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

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 12196 comments I don't normally do challenges but this one seems fun. :D


message 9: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments So can we start? Can I read books that fit the dares to start earning points? I love the idea of this one!!


message 10: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Sure! You start whenever you'd like.


message 11: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments 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!


message 12: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments It's ok :D I guess we should wait for them.


message 13: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Okay! So I will start reading some from the dares already posted and start gaining some points!! (:


message 14: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments haha... someone is very competitive :D I'll make the leaderboard later.


message 15: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments haha! I love this challenge! Probably going to be one of my favorites! Awesome! :D Can't wait!


message 16: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments One more question. LOL

Say I read a book in one day that is about zombies. Will I get 2 points since it covers 2 dares in one book?


message 17: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Can we gain points from our own dares or only the dares posted by others?


message 18: by Trisha, lives on coffee (new)

Trisha | 30284 comments 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


message 19: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Mandiann wrote: "Can we gain points from our own dares or only the dares posted by others?"

Any dare will get you points :) You can do the same dare more than once too.

No problem :)

No. actually one book for one dare only. I'll add that to the rules.


message 22: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Okay! thanks, Gisbelle!


message 23: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments You are welcome :)


message 24: by Jojobean (new)

Jojobean | 553 comments is there a time limit for when we have to read the books?


message 25: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I think it depends on the dare. Some dares will have set time limits and others will not.


ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (ilovebakedgoods) 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).


message 27: by ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (last edited Nov 03, 2013 11:36AM) (new)

ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (ilovebakedgoods) Another question - is there a limit to how many dares we can create as individuals?


message 28: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments What do you mean, open-ended? Do you mean is there a end date for this challenge? Sorry for the confusion.


ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (ilovebakedgoods) Yes, that's what I meant. :)


message 30: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) wrote: "Yes, that's what I meant. :)"

I don't think so, since participants can start whenever they want! (:


message 31: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments 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.

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments 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


ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (ilovebakedgoods) I don't like to take dares generally, either, but when it comes to being dared to read? I'm okay with that, hehe!


message 34: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments 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.


message 35: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments finally figured out what was wrong :)

Here the spreadsheet: LEADERBOARD


message 36: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Jacquelyn (jacquelynreads) | 18790 comments Awesome! thanks, Gisbelle!


message 37: by Zara's Retreat (new)

Zara's Retreat Do the books we read need to be YA?


message 38: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments if the dare is not stated that you have to read YA, any books are possible.


message 39: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments Jacquelyn wrote: "Awesome! thanks, Gisbelle!"

Welcome dear :)

Trisha | 30284 comments 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!


message 42: by Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd (new)

Excellent!!


message 44: by Jojobean (new)

Jojobean | 553 comments So there's no time limit that we have to read the books by after we accept a dare?

excellent.


message 47: by [deleted user] (new)

We can only read one book per dare? Or can we read two for one and get two points?


message 48: by jingles (new)

jingles Oh I love this! Please sign me up. I'll go figure out where I want to start.


message 49: by Gisbelle (new)

Gisbelle | 25787 comments 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.
