I'm looking forward to it too. I read Hush, Hush as an advanced reader copy and couldn't put it down!

I just finished Hush, Hush today and I used it for task 10.5 since it was on the list of popular books for 2009.
How about Spook Science Tackles the Afterlife or The Eyre Affair? I'd like to finally get those off my tbr shelf.
Hi Lindsey: I think that either one of these could be slotted for task 20.1:ROOKIE OF THE SEASON - BETH MN'S TASK - REVISITING THE PAST: Choose Your Favorite Task From A Past Challenge....
Task 15.2 from the Summer Challenge is:
Casting Call – Read A Book That Hasn’t Already Been Made Into A Movie And Post A List Of Who You Would Cast If You Were Making The Film.
Oooh thats a good idea. Eyre Affair should be a good one for that task. Thanks!
Okay I have a book. Where can I fit "On the Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God". I was thinking for task 30.3 Snowed In and Loving It however if there is a better task, let me know.
Jayme, do you have a book with a long title for Task 25.8 yet? If not, this book would fill the long title slot (7 or more words in the Title).

I was thinking for task 30.3 Snowed In and Loving It however if there is a better task, let me know. "Hey Jayme: I'm not sure if you've used this task yet, but it loooks like it will also fit 15.3.a.
WHAT WOMEN WANT (TO READ AND WRITE) - In Honor Of Betty Friedan (Born February 4, 1921 - Died February 4, 2006) Famous Feminist…
A. Read A Novel Written By A Female Author From A Series That Has A Female Main Character.
Since it now qualifies for two tasks you could also use it for Task 30.7 --- JAN THE GRYPHON’S TASK - MULTI-TASKING Read A Book That Will Fit Two Or More Other Tasks In The Winter 2009-2010 Challenge.
I have a book for 15.3a. I can try 30.7 for the multitasking.
Petra, I have a long title book for 25.8 but I could switch it.
I don't know if it's already been mentioned or not but you could use Hush, Hush for the alliteration task.
3 books I'd like help finding a place for...1. The Saints
2. On a Pale Horse
3. Don't Sweat the Small Stuff--and it's all small stuff Simple Ways to Keep the Little Things from Taking Over Your Life
The third one can fit into the what's your resolution task. If you haven't done that one yet.

[book:On a Pale Horse could work for:
Task 25.3.a --- SARA NICOLE'S TASK - A GAME OF CLUE
A. Suspects - Scarlet, Peacock, Mustard, Green, Plum, Or White: Read A Book With A Cover That Very Predominantly Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Purple, Or White. Post A Picture Of The Cover When You Claim Points, Please!
The cover of the book shown using the Goodreads link is predominantly yellow. (At least I think it is pretty yellow. It might be good to check with Sara Nicole for her approval of it.) If your book also has the yellow cover it could be used here.

http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...
Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton * 5.6 Dirty Job - If you wouldn't want to get down and dirty into investigative work, it's somewhat plausible. Can't go by vampire hunter since that's fictional.
* 5.7 Chinese Zodiac - Laurel K Hamilton is a Rabbit
* 10.4 Five Star Reads - You'd have to check out the winners' read folders if GP was listed as a 5 Star.
* 15.4 Favorite Game - If you play Masquerade or any vampire-themed game, then GP would fit as a novel
* 20.2 Past Challenges - You might be able to fit GP into the old challenges
* 25.3 Clue - Depending on the cover, it could fit the color challenge
* 25.10 Great Cover Design - Depending on what you think of the cover
If GP doesn't fit for any of those tasks, then it could be 25.5 Odd Man Out.
I am trying to fit two books in that I am reading for book club - please help!!!Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
and
Blue Sky July: A True Tale of Love, Light and 'Impossible Odds'
Thanks!!
PS: I have already used up the chinese zodia and five star reads of winners
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde fits the 1001 Books to read before you die task and Blue Sky July fits the 7+ words title requirement in the insane answering maching day task.
ooh! thanks for the 1001 idea! I already have a long title book though that I am already in the middle of, unless there is somewhere else to put Unlikely Disciple?

..."
Blue Sky July: A True Tale of Love, Light and 'Impossible Odds' might also work for Task 15.3.
Part B: "Read An Autobiography Or Biography Of A Woman You Admire (Book Must Also Have Been Written By A Woman)."
The blurb said this was an autobiography. Do you admire the author? If so then you could use it for this task.
Mod
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
and
Blue Sky July: A True Tale of Love, Light and 'Impossible Odds'
..."
Blue Sky July would also fit 5.9- Isn't it Romantic with "love" in the title
or
30.10 Theresa's color by numbers with happy "blue" in the title
or
30.7 as a multi-tasker
I'm trying to fit in Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution--and How It Can Renew America.I've already finished the 7+ word title task.
Thank you in advance for your help with this one.

20.2 BETH MN'S TASK - REVISITING THE PAST
Choose Your Favorite Task From A Past Challenge. The Task You Choose Must Originally Have Been Worth 15 Points Or Higher. When You Claim Points, Let Us Know Which Challenge And Which Task You're Revisiting.
Former 25 point tasks:
6. Bonnie’s Task - Read A Book Outside Your Normal Genre(S). Example: Bonnie Usually Reads Ya, Fantasy, Nonfiction And Classics So She'd Have To Read Short Stories, Plays, Mysteries, Etc.
8. Sara's Task - Read A Book With A 12+ Word Title.
Former 30 point task:
30.2. Lizzi’s Task – Judge A Book By Its Cover. Select A Book Only Because You Love The Cover, And Post A Picture Or A Link So We Can See The Cover When You're Finished
pjreads wrote: "Sera wrote: "I'm trying to fit in Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution--and How It Can Renew America.I've already finished the 7+ word title task.

Maybe you can also use it for Roseann's Resolution task 35.4. Your New Year's Resolution can be to be "greener" in 2010.

It would fit 30.10 Color by Numbers with green in the title
It won the Audie Award in 2009 so it fits 5.4 Winning Decade
According to the title page there are graphs used with permission from "Foreign Policy" so it sounds like there might be extra content- check with Bridgit for 25.9- The World of books
and since it fits 2 or more... 30.7 Jan's Multi-tasking works too.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the help.I was going to go with the multi-tasking one, but I'm not so sure now. At least I know that I can fit it in now, no problem.
Thank you, again, and for responding so quickly :) You all are very good at this.
anybody have any ideas where I can fit

25.2 Friendship a main theme … “The camaraderie at Fleischer's”

wow thanks PJ. 5.6 is where it is going. You are a reading challenge savant
Sarah wrote: "Where did we say that The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society could fit?"The "Read Either Fiction Or Non-Fiction Book That Was First Published After The Death Of The Author" portion of Task 30.5 was at least one place.
Sarah wrote: "Where did we say that The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society could fit?"5.10 Alliteration ... Potato Peel Pie
25.8 Title 7 words or longer
25.9 Map
30.7 Multi-tasking
I think someone used it for 10.5 Popularity
Sarah wrote: "Where did we say that The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society could fit?"I used it for 25.6 Island Dreams (UK).
My next book for my bookclub is
any ideas on a task I can fit this in? I would love to try and fit it in Jan the Gryphon's Task - Multi-Tasking.
Joanne wrote: "My next book for my bookclub is any ideas on a task I can fit this in? I would love to try and fit it in Jan the Gryphon's Task - Multi-Tasking."5.4 - won the Costa Fiction Award
30.1 A - published in the last decade
30.7 - multitasking
also perhaps:
25.6 - if enough of the book is set in Ireland
5.2 - red white and blue (maybe too much grey)
15.9 - author never read before?
Matthew wrote: "Any ideas where I can placeAlvin Journeyman? I can't fit it anywhere!"Does it take place in a fictional land? I couldn't quite tell from the description. If so, it might fit for that task.

If it's not set in a fictious land, then it might not fit in any of the 5/10/15 point tasks. (You'd have to check the Chinese Zodiac Sign, etc. to verify.) If that's the case, then you could use it for Abigail's Odd Man Out -- Task 25.5
Card won a Nebula award prior to the year 2000, so it would work for Helen's Sci-Fi-- Task 30.2 (Part A)
Then of course it it qualifies for any two tasks you can use it for Jan's Multi-Tasking -- Task 30.7
Thanks! It does work for 15.2, I just didn't see it.
One more book, doing some shuffling to use only 2 books for 30.3, any body have ideas for
by John Grisham?I already used 5.8, 30.3 and 20.1, but I know it should fit somewhere.... Thanks!

It could possibly work for:
5.6 - IT'S A DIRTY JOB BUT… -
A. Read A Novel Where The Main Character Does A Job You Could Never Imagine Doing.
Could you be this parolled power broker?
25.3a - SARA NICOLE'S TASK - A GAME OF CLUE
A. Suspects - Scarlet, Peacock, Mustard, Green, Plum, Or White: Read A Book With A Cover That Very Predominantly Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Purple, Or White.
The cover looks like it's mostly green. Not sure which edition you are using, or the true color tones though.
25.5 - ABIGAIL'S TASK - ODD MAN OUT
Read One Book That Doesn't Fit Any Of The 5/10/15 Point Tasks For You.
If it doesn't work for 5.6, or Grisham doesn't share your Chinese Zodiac, then it might fit for this task.
25.9 - Does it have a map or any extra content?
25.10 - Do you REALLY like the cover?
30.1a - It WAS published in the past decade, so it could be used here.
30.6 - Vacation Dreams. Is this set mainly in Italy? Could you like to vacation there?
30.7 - Jan's Multi-Tasking Task: If you can answer yes to 2 of these tasks you can use it for this one.
You know, I would like to visit Italy someday,... 30.6 it is!Thanks Krista!
