Roz | 4530 comments Maybe it isn't zodiac exactly but something like ' authors born under your sign'.


message 52: by Cherie (new)

Cherie (crobins0) | 21536 comments Good one, Roz. I am not really paying attention. I still have my head down trying to finish for this year. I can't go on until I finish The Gift of Rain though....


message 53: by Peggy (new)

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15868 comments Signs is a good idea too! I was also thinking 'months'. Or maybe related to birthdays?

Sandra (sanlema) | 11264 comments ... and personalities.


message 55: by Amanda (new)

Amanda Bilney | 288 comments I'm thinking something to do with Greek gods and their attributes/duties (but that could be all the Percy Jackson I'm reading with my son!)

siriusedward (elenaraphael) | 887 comments Hunter is what cane to my mind when i first viewed it..anything related to hunting?


message 57: by siriusedward (new)

siriusedward (elenaraphael) | 887 comments I also thought of greek and roman heroes n gods... The Odyssey came to mind

Thanks Janice. That's much more definite ; )

Does that help? *breaks out in evil laugh*


message 63: by Joan (new)

Joan I just noticed that the body of Sagittarius is facing one way but the head is facing another. Janice may not be heading where she seems to point.


message 64: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59911 comments Very astute, Joan. One should always look behind in case the prey is there and not in front of you. It could be a missed opportunity if you don't.


message 65: by Lisa (new)

Lisa (lisathebooklover) | 9244 comments I am getting more and more confused! Lol! Can't wait to find out what this challenge actually is.


message 66: by Sam (new)

Sam (ecowitch) | 2354 comments I'm just totally confused now so I'm giving up. Going to bury my head in books until the end of the year instead!

Okay, spit it out! It's already been over a week since you posted this.

You missed the sentence before that which said "towards the end of November".

Rusalka (rusalkii) | 19206 comments heh Selective reading!


message 70: by Cherie (new)

Cherie (crobins0) | 21536 comments I just expanded your avatar picture to look at more closely, Janice. It is really a beautiful piece of artwork. I thought maybe there were stars in it but it is not at all. Wonderful! I have no thoughts at all about the clues. I can wait. ^-^


message 71: by Camilla (new)

Camilla | 2101 comments Okay, I thought November was a typo and that you intended to post the challenge after a week.


message 72: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59911 comments Camilla wrote: "Okay, I thought November was a typo and that you intended to post the challenge after a week."

No, I'm posting the homework towards the end of November. Then a week after I post the homework, I'll post the challenge.

Isn't it? I couldn't resist choosing it for an avatar.


message 74: by Peggy (new)

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15868 comments Oh! Is the challenge something to do with men or masculinity? I just read that saggitarius is associated with male stuff and fishing and hunting are also more masculine than feminine.


message 75: by Kristie, Moderator (new)

Kristie | 19155 comments Good connection, Peggy!


message 76: by Pragya (new)

Pragya  (reviewingshelf) | 4030 comments I am liking all the thinking. You all seem to have covered everything. Waiting on what Janice comes up with. I am terrible at long-term challenges, I have never finished a single one. Arrggh.

Annerlee | 2871 comments Kristie wrote: "Good connection, Peggy!"

You've been doing some research Peggy?


message 78: by Peggy (new)

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15868 comments Just a little! I quickly googled saggitarius yesterday to learn a little more about it ;-)


message 79: by Almeta (new)

Almeta (menfrommarrs) | 11460 comments I'm going with hobbies.

Astrology
Fishing
Hunting
etc.


message 80: by Kristie, Moderator (new)

Kristie | 19155 comments Oh, that's good too, Almeta! You might be on to something there.


message 81: by Peggy (new)

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15868 comments Good one Almeta!


message 82: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59911 comments Hmmm... I never thought that astrology was a hobby but I guess it is. Almeta is warm.


message 83: by Tejas Janet (new)

Tejas Janet (tejasjanet) | 3513 comments I have no idea what to think, but i love the creative thinking of the posts thus far! Has got me thinking, for sure.


message 84: by Peggy (new)

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15868 comments Professions?


message 85: by Deborah (new)

Deborah Pickstone | 529 comments Astrology's no hobby.....it's an obsession......

Hum....so we are hunting and fishing for clues and Sagittarius begins at the end of November so......as far as I can see, we have no actual clues at all! hahahaha!

Tasha haha!! that's so funny. :)

message 88: by Tejas Janet (new)

Tejas Janet (tejasjanet) | 3513 comments Passions? Things we pursue in our spare time?

I thought YLTO members spent all our free time reading :)


message 91: by Suzanne (new)

Suzanne | 1255 comments I'm so excited! I can't wait to find out what the new challenge is...


message 92: by Peggy (new)

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15868 comments Janice, feel free to tell me to just get a life, but any specifics on when you will announce our homework? 'Towards the end of November' means I've been checking for homework multiple times a day lately (yes, I do realize it's only mid-November) afraid that I will miss it and see it only days later (which of course would be horrific), so if you could say it will be around the 28th or something or for sure not before the 25th, and I can stop obsessing for a while ;-)


message 93: by Sandra, Moderator (new)

Sandra (sanlema) | 11264 comments OCD detected. :D


message 94: by Peggy (new)

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15868 comments Lol Sandra. I was hoping that someone would say they were doing the same thing ;-)


message 95: by Sandra, Moderator (new)

Sandra (sanlema) | 11264 comments Many of us are doing the same thing! ;)


message 96: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 18550 comments lol Peggy! I am getting excited as the month goes on knowing we will find out more details.


message 97: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59911 comments ROFL! Too funny. How about Sunday, Nov 20th? If I don't forget. I'm sure you will remind me.


message 98: by Peggy (new)

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15868 comments So soon!! That beats even my wildest expectations. Thanks for making me feel not completely insane, checking so often just 5 days before the actual date is not so bad ;-)


message 99: by Kristie, Moderator (new)

Kristie | 19155 comments Hahaha...I'm there with you Peggy. So glad the homework will be up soon!
