Roaming Around The RRRC Quarterly ChallengeJune 15 - September 14
Would you like to explore some of the things the RRRC group has to offer? Here's a fun way to check out some of the challenges and threads we have here. Who knows, you may stumble upon a challenge you hadn't noticed before, or didn't think was for you, but now looks intriguing!
This is a 3 month challenge . There are 4 levels and you may complete as few as 1 level or as many as all 4. No page minimum, rereads and audiobooks allowed. If there is a link posted with a task, that link will take you to a thread you should use for the task. If the task says 'recent' then you may use the link provided or find another thread, in the last three months, that fulfills the task.
Level 1- Any 5 tasks
Level 2- Any 10 tasks
Level 3- Any 15 tasks
Level 4- Any 20 tasks
Roaming Around The RRRC tasks -

2. Read one book found in the Latest Book Purchase thread.
3. Read one book that was recommended to someone else in a recent PIFM Challenge. Please state who's recommendation you used and which PIFM you found it in. Monthly Folder Where PIFM Challenges Can Be Found

If you thought rolling the dice was fun, consider joining the Yahtzee Challenge already in progress...or wait for the next round in 2015.

If the task says 'recent' then you may use the link provided or find another thread, in the last three months, that fulfills the task. Fran,
Just want to check with you about that statement above so the last three months allowed for this challenge is March, April, May, correct? I'm basing that off from June.
Hi Rissa!Yes, you can use any of those months, or wait and see what comes up as you go, for June-Sept.

Awesome! :) Thanks Fran!
Are we just reposting in the participants thread as we update our list?Thanks Fran :)
Thanks Jane, I think i forgot to state that in the opening post....yes, repost in the Participants thread :)
Only 3 more days until we can start the new Quarterly!!
I know! I keep picking up books and going "wait...that's on my roaming challenge list" and the pile I can't read is starring at me!
I am finally getting to check out the lists and the books I have on my shelf that fit....so much of the fun for me is in the finding the books to fit the challenge!
I'm finally getting around to building my list...For the "Read one book found in the Latest Book Purchase thread" - does it have to be a book from the last three months or can it be from the beginning of the thread which is 2009?
It can be from anywhere on the thread, so go back as far as you want to :)
Hey Fran!Can we substitute a different book in a series from what we found in the various locations like we do in some other challenges, or does the exact book we read need to be in the appropriate thread/shelf?
Hi Karen!I will allow a different book from the same series as the book found from the thread for the task :)
Yay! Thanks, Fran - I was having some real issues with the A-Z Book Challenge. Several different times where I could look at someone's list and know they'd read a book I wanted to use because they'd listed books before and after it in the series, but just didn't use the one I wanted in that challenge...very frustrating!
Another question for you, Fran...In the Authors After Dark challenge, the list of authors in the thread doesn't include all of the authors listed on the website (from the link included in the challenge). Can we use authors from the website list that aren't included in the challenge thread list?
Yes! you can use an author listed on the website and/or the list :)
Thanks, Fran - That was my assumption, but decided I'd better check to be sure! :D
Hi Fran, I have a question. I've been working on this challenge and fitting the books I've read into the different categories so I can see where I need to fill in. For many of them, the easy path would be to use books I've posted for example in the "What are you reading?" spot. It kind of feels like cheating so I'll probably look for other options or at least one that someone else listed too. But in in pinch would books I posted myself in the different threads be acceptable?
Hi Kat!I'm going to say yes, you can use books you posted yourself :)
Part of this challenge is to familiarize yourself with different areas of this group, and posting in threads is an awesome way to do that. So why not reap the benefits of your efforts? Go for it!
