message 51: by Kasia (new)

Kasia But you know, if you read only 2 or just 1 nobody's gonna hold a grudge. It's more of a personal challege, like saying "Ok, I'm gonna read 5" "I'll read 8" and then doing your best to deliver.

Hey! I am using some of my books interchangeably for several of the other challenges I’m doing and I’d thought about doing it for this one, too, but then I just decided to go with different books so that I could knock out some of my TBR list while I was at it. :)

message 61: by Tracy (new)

Tracy | 38 comments I have a question as to what: "Birthday: Read a book from an April B-day celebrant." means? Based on a few other posts I'm deriving we would find a RRR Challenge member whose birthday is in April and then pick a book from their shelve/s? Is that any book on any of their shelves or are they making a particular selection for this challenge?

thanks! Tracy

Yes, you're correct, and it's any book of their shelves, read, currently-reading, to-read it doesn't matter.

You'll find the B-Day list here: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/2...

Hey, Missy! First, you decide how many books you want to read - 3, 5, 8, or all 10. If you wanted to read all ten books, then you'd have to find a book that corresponds with each category. You can make up a list and post it, or you can just make a post saying that you'll be participating and come up with the books as you go along. I think a lot of people come back and just edit their original post (for that, you'd just have to keep track of which message number it was or you'd have to look for it in the thread). Otherwise, you can just keep track on your own and post your completed list once you've finished. For the birthday challenge, you can visit this thread to see which members have birthdays in April. Then you'd select a book to read from one of their shelves (doesn't matter which book/which shelf).

Hope that helps!

ETA- A good way to keep track of your challenges is to start a thread for yourself in the Members Reading Lists folder. You can set it up however you want, but you can check out mine or any of the others for an example.

Jennefer (jenneferpracticex3) | 247 comments I'm in! I think this month I will post as I go instead of making a list in advance... hmmmm... we will see.... I do like to make lists LOL


message 66: by Leah (new)

Leah (leahkarge) I have a question about the "Spring Theme" category. Now, I understand the whole "flower" thing because flowers are generally throught to equal spring, but instead of flowers, can the book have other kinds of plant life? I mean, spring is about the coming to life of plant life, so would the book qualify if there was, say, trees on the cover instead?

Annie (themadnessofhamsters) Teodora wrote: "I'll go for eight this time. It seems hard to combine this with other challenges, but that's what makes it really challenging, I think."

Hi Teodora - exactly! I picked my re-read by thinking of my favourite books, then picking one that had a female character with a name beginning with 'J' - a letter I needed in the A-Z female character challenge.
The art/creative book can cross-credit with the Quarterly Women We Love challenge...

Good luck!
