Can you tell me about 62? Seasonal challenge And Are we friends on GoodReads? If not we should be!
I belong to a group on GoodReads called "The Seasonal Reading Challenge" (which I believe is a spin-off of the group "the next best book group" or something like that. Every three months they set a list of 60 or so different prompts of kinds of books to read each worth a different amount of points. For example right now one of the five point prompt is : 5.9 -- Noel, Noel Read a book with NO "L" in the title and NO "L" in the author name. Examples: Wicked Appetite by Janet Evanovich, Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card
and a 30 point prompt is: Around the world, this time of year is one for giving gifts. My gift to all of you, my favorite challenge participants, is this task!
Roll a die twice (or until you get two different numbers), and read two books (one for each die) that fit the numbered criteria below. However, there is one catch: the letters A-S-I-A must appear in full (2 As, 1 S, and 1 I), but in any order, in either the title or the author's name.
1: Read a book by one of your favorite authors. 2: Read a book from one of your favorite genres. 3: Reread a book you loved as a kid (challenge rules of at least 100 pages or 500 children's picture book pages still apply). 4: Read a book you've added to your TBR list in the last 6 months. 5: Read a book you've been dying to read, but haven't had a place for in the challenge. 6: Reread a book you gave 5 stars to the first time around.
Then the people who have signed up for the challenge that season compete to get the most points.
Also, I don't think we're friends there but this is me http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1005498.
