Do you feel lucky?



Task #3 - Random Genre

I will randomly assigned the following twelve (12) genres to a corresponding number.

Contemporary Romance
Fantasy
Historical Fiction
Historical Romance
History
Horror
Mystery/Cozy
Mystery/Thriller
Non-Fiction
Urban Fantasy
Women's Fiction
Young Adult

Go to:

and roll one or two dice.

Come back to this thread and tell me the number you rolled and I'll tell you the genre a member (any member) of your Team needs to read this month.

I will reassign the genre before each Team request.

Yes, if a member has already read that genre, you may count it.

You may NOT use books used in other November tasks.

Any books 160 pages or greater, finished between November 1 - 23, 2013.

Classification will be by the top five most popular 'tags' - according to GRs members.

You will be granted one (1) BAP.

You have until the 23rd of November to earn this point. (Or the end of the TTRC, which looks like November 17th, according to the poll in the "sister" group.)

Until the next surprise.

Post finished task here.

So I rolled two dice and got a 9.

Waiting for the ninja book to give the genre.

*crosses fingers for something good*

finished

Are you feeling lucky again?



Task #4 - Random Bookcover (Color or Item)

This task like the Random Genre in that I will randomly assigned numbers to all seventeen (17) Teams, as I did with the 12 genres. However, each Team has a corresponding predominant color or item to find on the cover, for what your Team needs to search.

� This is an either/or challenge. You only have to read one book that qualifies for either the ITEM - or the COLOR of the Team you are assigned.

� For predominant color book, it needs to be the edition the Team Member actually read.

� However, if it is an item on the cover, then you may post the actual bookcover and the alternate one (different edition) in which you found the item .

� If you get your own Team number, I will roll/reassign again.



If you can't see the picture chart, refer to list under this spoiler: (view spoiler)[Atomic Tangerine: ITEM Fruit on the cover; rocket; car. COLOR Orange
B'dazzled Blue: ITEM Jewel; some that sparkles. COLOR Blue
Blastoff Bronze: ITEM Fire; something bronze. COLOR Bronze/Brown
Cadet Blue: ITEM Military person; a hat. COLOR Blue
Cerulean (Hobbit Blue): ITEM Wizard; door. COLOR Blue or Turquoise
Electric Lime: ITEM Artificial, electric, or neon light source. COLOR Green
Forest Green: ITEM Tree(s). COLOR Green

Radical Red: ITEM A book; an open road. COLOR Red
Tickle Me Pink: ITEM Someone laughing, or looking coy. COLOR Pink
Wild Blue Yonder: ITEM Lots of sky; or something wild! COLOR Blue (hide spoiler)]

Go to:

and roll two or three dice.

Come back to this thread and tell me the number you rolled and I'll tell you the Team Item/Color a member (any member) of your Team needs to read this month.

I will reassign the Team/Color/Item before each Team request.

Yes, if a member has already read a bookcover that works, you may count it.

You may NOT use books used in other November tasks.

Any books 160 pages or greater, finished between November 1 - 23, 2013.

You will be granted two (2) BAPs.

You have until the 23rd of November to earn this point. (Or the end of the TTRC, which looks like November 17th, according to the poll in the "sister" group.)

Until the next surprise.

Post finished task here.

Checked for "chunsters" again; added only one more. Thanks go to Sonia this time.

No, thanks goes to Steven that made me read Dresden cause it was a chunster :)

So team we have now 6 BAP's, with the 4 tasks completed, and a book ninja shocked due to my latest readings :o)

finished

Task #5 - Novella/Short Story

There are less than seventy-four hours until the last Sunday Update!

For Task #5, I will give you a different kind of mission. One that could create quite a quandary, but will bring a large reward: Five (5) BAPs!

â—� Reading novellas or short stories, spell out:

N.
B.
R.
C.

N.
I.
N.
J.
A.

� The twist is you may NOT apply a book larger than 160 pages, and thus they may NOT be “tagged� towards your TTRC.

� EXCEPTION: They may be in an anthology; this is the only way you may “tag� the completed book, if you do finish the whole book. However, you are NOT required to read the whole book if you use an anthology. Nevertheless, you must use the titles, etc., of the stories within the anthology to do the spelling.

� Short stories must be greater than 10 pages. (view spoiler)[This is nigh impossible for me to check, until it is a stand-alone edition; I'll just have to trust you. (hide spoiler)]

� The same rules as prior Spell-It-Outs apply. (view spoiler)[Title, Author's First/Last Name, Series Name, and Character Name (main). (hide spoiler)]

� They may all be done by one Team Member, or all nine read by different Team Members, it matters not to me.

� Yes, if a short story or novella has been read/finished on November 1st or after, you may apply it.

� You have until Sunday, November 17th, 9:00 a.m. - or to finish/post Task #5.

Decisions, decisions.

WHATEVER will you do?!!

Until the next surprise.

Post finished task here.

Hi Ezi... I'm grumbling because my shorties didn't match the ninja task!

Don't you have a graphic novel by Jim Butcher to read, Sonia? For the "B"?

Sonia wrote: "Hi Ezi... I'm grumbling because my shorties didn't match the ninja task!"

awww. you need to read more smut

Yes, But I can also use it for the J :)

Ezinwanyi~For you, Agron wrote: "Sonia wrote: "Hi Ezi... I'm grumbling because my shorties didn't match the ninja task!"

So true... And I'm sad because I read two shorties in October that would be nice for the N's

Sonia wrote: "Yes, But I can also use it for the J :)"

That's what I meant. So... you meant some other letters.

yep, since I browsed every cadet blue's member read shelf and no shorties but for Lindy and I...


buuuut there is a Kate Daniels one I haven't read... ohhhh the blasphemy... *opens Kindle*

Sorry, can't help with that task as I am not into short stories.

finished

I'm going to miss the tower team. :( You guys were awesome. We have a few more day's of reading, and I hope I can finish a few.

For some reason I thought we had ages left. :( Sadness! You guys are all awesome.

Well... we can still play trivial till we all finish it since the sister group will not be deleted.

OK, for the final task, 3 N's, a R and a J left.

I know I'll be reading two dresden shorties, and a werewolf one, which will take care of a N, a R and a J.

And I'll be perusing my anthologies and kindle freebies to see which more I can use... since you all are contributing to full books, I'll try to knock the 6 BAP :)

the Moonstone team was really fast. congrats! i thought it would go until close to April ...

so sad that it's over :( I would jump on Sonia's mentioning that we can finish it and still tag our books. I am curious if we would complete it :)

finished

Five more "chunksters" submitted and approved (duh!). Thanks this time go to Susan, Emy, and Christine! Yay!

I forgot to say that we're all awesome :) and that I want to play in the next round again, yay!

Yes, we are awesome :)

Continuing on with the TTRC...

For those of you who want to finish what you started, we are leaving the Tower Team Reading Challenges threads, the "sister group," and Team Home Page Challenges open.

Some of you want to finish your Team Mini Challenges for November; some want to see what they can do towards reaching 1,350 (with or without BAPs); others want to go until the end of the year; and die-hards want to go until April, 2014!

Whatever you decide, as an individual Team or Team Member basis, is completely up to you. Even if you are the only Team Member interested in continuing, we're sure the other Teams will interact with you.

We, the Mods and Captain Paige, will do an informal update once a month.

Whatever you decided, remember to have fun! There will be much less pressure, definitely.

As far as Round III, we do NOT know when it will start, but it will NOT be in January. For the next Team Challenge, the other Mods want to do some type of board game that will last anywhere from one to several months.

It was really a fun time in our group :)

I might post until the end of Dec. maybe & update for the mini challenge as well.

finished &

I've just finished . ;_;

When do we need to stop shelving books for the challenge, by the way?

Up to you, Emy. See Post #1650.

Oops, must have missed that post. Thank you! :)

Cool!

I'll be around here, trying to keep the mini-challenges and talk about great books as long as nobody kicks me out!


Since most of us will me till the end of the year, the trivial prize is still up and my sister that is from TMP is giving us a run for it :)

I read that book a while ago and I still can't put my thoughts together to write a proper review.
