message 206: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1245 comments It is hard to believe we only have one more roll! I've only got two's left. I've not been rolling what I need these last few times so I'll probably be doing the alternate task, too. :)


message 207: by Fran, Moderator (last edited Nov 24, 2014 09:20AM) (new)

Fran | 12278 comments Reminder!

Please roll for your December Task between November 27- December 2.


December Alternate Task- Read one book with a light source on the cover (sun, candle, flashlight, fire, moon, etc.) and one book that 'lightens' your tbr.


message 208: by Jane (new)

Jane  | 548 comments Weeee I got my Yahtzee and in only two rolls.


roll 1: 5-6-6-5-5
roll 2: 5-5

I had already been looking at my books to cover the alternative for December now I will most likely just use one of the first books I read in December but I will try and make it a Christmas book.


message 209: by Fran, Moderator (new)

Fran | 12278 comments Awesome Jane!


I needed Yahtzee but only got 5,5,5,2,2....I got the 3 fives on the first roll so I thought I had a shot :)


message 210: by Shelby (new)

Shelby (stang_lee) | 1970 comments Of course I crossed out my Yahtzee last month when I didn't get my roll so all I had to roll was three's.

Got my three's on the first roll but decided why not, let's keep rolling and...got my Yahtzee. :-p
