Monthly challenges: November Challenge

[JennRenee]

Okay, I will start the first months challenge. Along with the challenges that are listed before there are a few ways to make extra points every month.

1. You Have a Friend in Me...

For every new member that signed up under an invite from you, you will receive a point.

2. Count Me In...

There are 2 points earned for each of the monthly book reads.

3. I Have Something to Say...

A point is also available if you join in on the monthly book read discussion.

4. I'm A Book Worm...

A point will be rewarded for every book read for the month that is not the book read or a challenge read.

November challenges.


1. Books, Books, and More Books...5 pnts.



In a separate discussion, each member that is playing will need to make a list of the next 5 books they have planned on reading. The first challenge is to pick a book off of their list to read in November.

2. Its New To Me...5 pnts

Check through the members read books and pick one to read that is not on your read or to read list. If you cannot find a book that is not on your list ask a member for recommendation of a book that is not on your read or to read list.

3. It’s The End of the World As We Know it...5 pnts


Choose a book about the world being wiped out by a disaster or phenomenon. (except for a handful of survivors of course!)

If every challenge is completed in the month...there is an extra 10 pnts added


Please start a post of your choices in this discussion folder and update it as you finish.
Please let me know if you have any questions…

ENJOY!

[JennRenee]

Please post your points and I will keep a seperate post for the point tallys. I will update the points as much as possible, but I probably could use a lot of reminding too.

[Angela Sunshine]

[JennRenee]

yes mam every book you read is a book worm point. I will update the points.

[Kellee]

I'm going to post at the end of each month- is that okay? Or would you rather I post as I finish?

[JennRenee]

either way is fine with me! I am not a picky person.

Seriously terrifying! It's amazing how realistic fiction can be SO much scarier than science fiction.

I think it is so much more terrifying because it is the most realistic apocalyptic novel I've read. Not crazy wars or natural disaster- just a slight movement of the moon... *shiver*

Agreed. And they were excited for it! How many times have we made it a point to go watch an eclipse or some other phenomenon? My whole family went to the desert to see Halley's comet! So unsuspecting... Yikes!
