❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9633 comments Who wants to roll tomorrow?


Did anyone noticed we haven't spelled out a word in weeks(5 to be exact)? Maybe we should try with something smaller like crime?


message 1472: by Catherine (new)

Catherine | 5067 comments lol....we've all been busy I guess and focusing on other challenges...

OR...we could do each word a bit longer :)

Yes, big words are hard when you don't have to push yourself to read those letters. I've read loads of books this week, they've just been too short.

Small word would be good.

As to rolling, I'm always as option if no one else wants to


message 1475: by Catherine (new)

Catherine | 5067 comments making posts dissappear!!! isn't that unconstitutional???? lol freedom of speech and all that!! lol

Really? :P How are shifters going? I stared that hockey one. It's readable but only first few books are big enough. *sigh* Let me know if you find another 10-points series.

We could always make new words. Or use alternative spelling or something :P


Wanna modify rules? One book=two letters? Chunkster=3? Did anyone use chunkster rule?

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9633 comments Catherine wrote: "making posts dissappear!!! isn't that unconstitutional???? lol freedom of speech and all that!! lol"

Nope. As I said it's magic so no muggle man laws work here. As Hobbits we have different set of rules. (just don't ask what, we haven't come by them yet :P)


message 1478: by ✿~Danielle~✿ (new)

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 5771 comments I'm about to read #24 in the shifters, so only a few more left. I will let you know if I find one.

Making up words sounds good. What words?

Yes, I had a few 500+ books a few weeks ago. So yes to changing rules of One book=two letters, Chunkster=3

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 5771 comments I haven't read this series yet Wolves of stone ridge I have got the first book Werewolf at the Zoo (Wolves of Stone Ridge, #1) by Charlie Richards . It looks like it could work. There a quite a lots there with 25 books. What you think?

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9633 comments I thought we are taking break from shifters :P

MODIFICATION OF MODIFIED RULES


Since Hobbits are spending too much time smoking pipe-weed instead of reading right books, we need little change.

Spin the wheel or this one
Option 1 - If you don't really like your spin, spin again. ☺
Option 2 - Use your spin for 'new' word. Take first letter of genre you got and think of Hobbit-y word (if you're in the mood. If not, pick any word starting with that letter)
Option 3 - Pick a book title for spell out from genre you've spun.

Modified rule:
- If word for spelling has more than 7 letters, one book can be used for 2 letters. If book has more than 500 pages, you can use it for 3 letters. In this case, books with 100-150 pages can be used for 1 letter.
- If word has 7 or less, old rules apply. One book is 1 letter unless it has over 500 pages. Than it's 2. ☺ In this case, books with 100-150 pages can't be used.

Please when coming with words/titles/genres have in mind that there are some letters that are almost always left unread (think of Ys and Us).

Have fun reading!


(Did I forget something?)

Speaking of HP, Danielle, they are doing HP&SS BR there in January. Will you be ready then? So we can do double BR (here and there)? ☺

Audrey Jane | 1854 comments Harry Potter challenge seems nice! Danielle is Ravenclaw so she's a serious student and knows all the spells. But Slytherin don't exactly play by the rules :p
