DC versus Marvel Reading Challenge 2016
Hi Mpauli,No.2 on the Penguin challenge 'where penguins live' Can it be a book with Snow in the title or does it have to be an image of snow on the cover?
Team DC/Katana/Katana/Traitor's Blade/2 of 3Sword on the cover and main character uses sword as a weapon.
DC, Energy Cell - Botm: Man in the High Castle
I'd love to give this a go! Team DC, please! :D
Team DC/Commissioner Gordan/Fighting the Mob/The American: a Leone Scamarcio thriller/1 of 3A crime thriller where the antagonists are the mafia
Mod
Read a book with a character wearing a top hat on the cover or where a character is the head of a crime organization.
Vanished Several organizations pop up doing all manner of illegal things. 1/3 for Penguin
Do we post individual books finished on this thread as well as updating our progress thread post? Or is just updating our reserved progress thread post enough?
Maresi/Ms. Marvel/Noboby understands me/1 of 3One of the main characters escapes her abusive father.
Mod
You should post individual books here for Mpauli, the other thread is more for your own benefit :)
Another question for clarification since I don't see it mentioned in the rules, but do audio books count?
Mod
I won't speak for Mpauli, but as I recall, they did last year. But, of course, he gets the final say.

It has to be an image of snow. If you look through the challenges, there are ones that say "...on the cover" which always refers to an image and then there are others saying "...in the title" where the word should be in the title.
Mod
Yay, glad to have you aboard! :)
Mod
Yes, please. Only books posted here count, the progress thread is just for your personal planning.
Mod
The simple answer to this is "Yes, audiobooks count". In the spirit of the challenge I would prefer it to be unabriged audiobooks, but there's no real way to check that.

Haha, but thou shalt be allowed to listen to them on triple-speed. :P

HAHA. I wouldn't be able to follow that!

Mod
Team DC/Midnight Blue-Light Special/Katana/Birds of Prey/3 of 3Two female characters on the cover and only two female POVs in book.
KATANA RECRUITED
Mod
With my new job I have to work two Saturdays each month, but always have the Friday off before that. So the update is going to be either on a Friday or Saturday, cause I like to do it, when I have free time.
So without further ado you've been rather busy in the first week of the year.
Team Marvel decided this first week for themselves. Shawnie defeated Penguin and earned the achievement for this and the first villain of the year being defeated.
Wayland added to that by being the first player to recruit a hero as he added Nova to his team.
For team DC Lel also defeated Peguin and Veronica took the achievement for being the first player to recruit Katana. Both teams added their first Energy Cell to their portal.
Thanks Mpauli, got it now! On the cover = image, In the title = word. I also got an energy cell for botm. For some reason my book links don't seem to be appearing as links. Is this a problem?
Mod
"I think in doubt we go for the top hat. :)
Mod
Oh, you're absolutely right. Sorry I overlooked that. It's not necessary to attach a link to the book. It was my fault. I added the Energy Cell
I take it back. The book links are ok. It's the Android app that is not highlighting them correctly. Although, I think I forgot to add the botm as a link; sorry!
MPauli, I think I have been overlooked as well in the weekly round-up (message 102).
Mod
Either way I'll do my best
Lancer, try just reading the next book in your queue and them posthumously attribute it to a hero. The point is to enjoy reading.

DCSwamp Thing/ Monster/ A Monster Calls/ 1 of 3
*A monster (in the form of a creepy yew tree) is one of the main characters.
Mod
I wish I could do this, I opted out of the challenge because I cannot stop myself from reading bad books so I can get credit for it.
Agent Coulson recruitedGwenhwfar (The White Spirit)/Agent of Shield/Agent Coulson/3 of 3
Shield on the cover

HAHA I keep telling myself I won't do that this year! :)
Can books of poetry be used? Most aren't 100 pages, but you read them much more slowly than a novel, so it's about the same amount of time (at least for me).
