Today is the last day you can roll for October!

If you haven't rolled for your October task yet, please do it tonight. But don't worry, if you can't get to it in time, there is always the Alternate Task :)

[Fran, Moderator]

I finished my October task, a one word title. I read
Manhunt . It was very cute :)


How is everyone else doing? Anyone completed their October task yet?

[Fran, Moderator]

Hi Everyone!

It's time to roll for your November task!

Please roll your dice between today, October 25th and November 5th for your November task.

Good luck!!

If you forget to roll between that time period or need to use the Alternate Task because your roll doesn't fit anywhere in your challenge, here it is-

November Alternate Task- Read a book you got for free; i.e. borrowed, was gifted, freebie on Amazon, etc.

[Fran, Moderator]

Well, my roll did not go well :(

I still need 2s, 4s, and Yahtzee

roll 1- 1,2,3,3,3- kept the 2
roll 2- 4,4,1,5
roll 3- 2,4,5,6
final- 2,2,4,5,6

I will use the alternate task for November

[Fran, Moderator]

Wow, I totally missed that I had 2 4s in my second roll and gave them up! I was so focused on trying to get some 2s that I totally forgot I also needed 4s. Well that doubly stinks, lol.

I looked at what I still needed and saw ones and Yahtzee.
Got my ones but when I went to put it in my post I discovered that for some reason I had not seen the right thing. It was threes I needed.
This means I will have to do the alternative task.

Hi Liza!

The thread for the next Yahtzee challenge will be posted by the second week in January with a February start date. Coming soon!

Sigh, first Alternate Task of the challenge - I really thought I would make it through this time and I was soooo close! And after last year, I really wanted to finish clean! Oh well, at least it is an easy one!
