Neuromancer? this one definitely works.
Eastern Standard Tribe?" Not sure... looks like it could work. "
Thanks, Tien! I didn't mean for you to have to research those for me. I was just making notes to myself. But it helps. :)
Mod
Thus round will need a bit of cooperation, i think...
Tien - will you count Deliverance for 5f - main character explores nature since it's a white water rafting trip?

I have now rolled this three times so I will take up your suggestion this time. Hopefully I won't need to read the entire series.
Mod
oh no!
I sometimes feel that random.org isn't really that random! Too many repeats... I mean, I don't mind the colour repeat but I wish I could do different task under that colour!
I think if we ever play this one again, I'll do it as a choice of task and if repeated, to choose a different task under colour :p
btw, I read Jane Eyre for this task... and if I get this again, I'm going to read Empower by Jessica Shirvington (this is the fifth & final book of The Violet Eden Chapters; first book is Embrace) Violet draws & paints etc. If you're after an alternate option, that is.
oh, I think I prefer Violet Eden than Mortal Instrument - if that makes any difference to you :)

That might work better as it would fit in with my aim of reading more Australian authors. I will just have to wait until next week to see if it is in my library. I am really, really, really missing having an on-line library catalogue!
p.s. Do you have any suggestions for 4a? I have just rolled it three times in a row.
Mod
There is a list in the Categories thread: suggestions
though I've rolled this too and I'm going to read
(which isn't in the suggestion post! :p) Toni Jordan is Aussie
