I feel like I'm getting to know these characters after typing their names into the spreadsheet three times! ;)

Nice work! I made a special note of those gold letters on the spreadsheet, those may come in handy. :)

Healthy competition is fine by me! Hehe. But no pressure, never pressure. :)

Interesting! It would be a borderline case that I would bring with the mods, but seeing as how we have so many pink books I'm not worried. :)

Current word: NBRCBOM
Possible books for each letter (remembering that some overlap):

N - 9
B - 16 (need 2)
R - 15
C - 18
O - 13
M - 21

Color Bonus 1: Silver in title
Possible: 0

Color Bonus 2: Silver in text
Possible: 5

Most needed: Silver in title (remember, it must have a spell out letter we can use!)
Also could use: books with N in the spell out

I didn't include him because I had the letters already but he had a HUGE role-- constantly talked about by numerous people, personally and professionally. What would the verdict be on that? Just for curiosity's sake. "

This is also a very interesting case! I would probably bring it back to the mods for a ruling, to be honest. And seeing as how they're so busy and we already have the letters I'd rather not bother them. :/ Shall we consider it a tantalizing conundrum for the moment? That is, until the next dead person with a big role shows up in our books ;)

[Ray (user2637)]

Sounds good to me. I probably think about dead people more than the average bear anyway. I <3 forensics! And serial killers, lol. :D

This cracked me up :D I would say "nanny nanny boo boo"... maybe a regional thing? ;)

...a search on wikipedia later...

Apparently nanny nanny boo boo is said in the Southern US, but I'm from the Northeast... what's up with that. :P

They changed this recently - you can use devices like kindles even while taxing and landing now! They just can't be connected to the internet. :)

Okay, it's time to spin for a new word, wooooo! Big bucks, no whammies....

The Magic Wheel has been spun for a new word!


Your word is NBRCBOM!

Bonuses:
• silver - Color is in Title

*shrug* I've only encountered 2 dead humans outside of hospitals -that's a small sample size, and one was when I was 5. The second had most of the skin peeled off and muscles/tendons/etc exposed. It was AMAZING! :) I do plan to visit the Body Farm some day.

[Ella]

im using my cell so its difficult to navigate through links....silver in title means d word silver as part of the title? or the title should be written in silver colour??

The word silver as part of the title. This is what we need most! :)

awww! the kid is adorable!! though i heard that fr the first time.. here in india we go with the simple 'na nana na na, u cant catch me'

[Ella]

thanx kazen! though word or color; either way it was a rock and a heard place to me *sigh!*

[Ella]

hard! i meant hard!! gosh y cant d app allow us to edit comments ?!?

[Kazen]

Ray - related but not related - there are several corpse flowers getting ready to bloom, and all with live cams! For those who don't know, the corpse flower saves up energy for years and years before blooming spectacularly for less than 48 hours. Name is because they stink to high heaven. :P

I'll edit you in my head, no worries. ;) And yeah, the app stinks. :(

[Kazen]

We have a new word, huzzah! Or a new abbrevation I guess, because NBRCBOM stands for Nothing But Reading Challenges Book of (the) Month.

The hardest task by far are books with silver in the title. Once we have those the letters should fall into place easily - latest info at the top of this page.

Go forth and read, Red Pandas! :)

[Ella]

my current book is an N-book and has silver in the text . lucky me ! ;)

[prag ♻]

I'll read The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick, I've been thinking of doing it for a while now, and the color task is the perfect motivation.

I also had The Golden Compass, but I'm gonna read it only if we get golden. The kindle sample wasn't too interesting:/

[Kazen]

Pragya - I loved The Golden Compass when I was a kid but I'm really afraid to reread it, in case it doesn't have the same awesomeness I remember. But whatever you do, don't watch the movie! ~shudders~

eta: And totally burying the lead - yeaaaaaa silver in the title books! :D

[Ashley]

Hello from the Plumed Basilisks!

I see the word corpse flower so thought I'd check in. We had one in Adelaide earlier this year....here is the time lapse video. Cool hey!

I didn't go see it because 40C heat and a stinky flower...hmm didn't sound like a nice mix

Hi and thanks for the great video! Yeah, I think watching from a web cam at home is the perfect distance in that kind of heat. Ick.

(For the Americans - 40C is 104F!)

[Karin]

After my current read, I can read The Silver Suitcase if we still have that requirement to fill

There's a movie too? I saw it on a 20 books to read as a teenager list so I figured I should give it a try. Haha, I hate when people screw up book to movie adaptations.

That sounds great! We can do this word several times, and if we have books with silver in the title we can get a color bonus each time. :)

[Margaret]

Yay for a new word!! I have 3 books that have Silver in the title, so can read those for us.

Corpse Flower ~shudders ~ I have a phobia of plants (weird, I know) so anything freaky to do with plants gives me the creeps... I did try to grow a venus flytrap to get over my fear, but that didn't go so well.. Needless to say, I can't read "The Day of the Triffids" ...

I'm reading The Silver Dream by Neal Gaiman, and should be finished by end-of-day.
