You might find it helpful to look at last year's progress thread and see how everyone liked to organize their challenge. I definitely needed the space to keep track.

Bana AZ (anabana_a) Question mostly for my DC team (but Marvel can answer, too, if they want).

Is it better to count my BotM for an energy cell or for the traits of existing characters?


message 28: by Melanie (new)

Melanie | 1689 comments Energy cell this early in the year. It will open a portal hero sooner for more points eventually.
DC!

Melanie | 1689 comments Rinn (even though you are on team Marvel), the Diviners does have a gay character. He is not one of the main characters, but it is a good, suspenseful, crime-drama book that I gladly recommend.

Ah thank you! I looked through the LGBT tag and picked a few books under it that I own. With the Patrick Ness one I wasn't sure if it was referring to the author or a character as well, but thanks for clearing that up about The Diviners. I have been meaning to read it for ages :D

Started a book for the computer part of the White Rabbit challenge and then realised it doesn't fit! :P I might actually read Fangirl for it, I really want to re-read it soon and there's a laptop on the front.

Kate (kgskocelas) | 474 comments Any recommendations for books where the main character gets a magical weapon (for the third Grim Reaper task)?

For this one I think I may use one of the Charley Davidson books by Darynda Jones because they have a scythe on the cover. The books are more urban fantasy with a romance bent. Not sure if you would enjoy that kind of book, but they are fun and and quick reads.
