Ok ladies. We had 3 finishers. @Sagoon, @Slytherpuff and @muzikgrrl. So if you ladies want to pick that would be awesome. For the other two I will take the first two suggestions added to this post!d

Re: fbc 25 pts

  • My suggestion: A book with one of the four elements (fire, earth, water, air) in the title.

  • Give me a few mins. I'm going to repost them.
  • Here's a suggestion (inspired by all the book to movies I missed this year because I haven't read the book yet).

    Read a book that was made into a movie in 2013 and then watch the movie. Start a post on the board about both.

  • I've picked the last couple of times, so if others have ideas that's totally fine. But if we need one, I thought this might be a fun one.

     

    Read a book that is a twist on a classic. 

     

    I know there are several out there that are twists on old fairy tales, I think there are a few twists on Jane Austen, etc. I don't have a list per se, but I think this shouldn't be terribly difficult to find something.

  • Ok two suggestions:
    1. There was a thread earlier last(?) month that talked about read but unfinished books... Read a book from this list, The Most Begun "Read but Unfinished" (Initiated) book ever: http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/497.The_Most_Begun_Read_but_Unfinished_Initiated_book_ever
    2. Read a book where one of the characters has your dream job.  Post your review and thoughts on why its your dream job.

  • I've picked before so if someone else has an idea they'd like to try I'd say go with that.  If you still need a task, mine would be: read a book (fiction or nonfiction) about North Korea.

  • Read the next book in a series
  • I like all of these suggestions so feel free to take my suggestion out!  I have picked a couple of times.

     

    I especially love the one about unfinished books. :)
