Proposed SBC

fabk

Thanks for all the ideas everyone! It was really hard to narrow it down since SBC is a short challenge. I have tried to incorporate a bunch of "post on NBC about it"'s in the challenge to try and kick start our slow board. Questions, comments, concerns?!?

 

5 pt    /25

 Read the next book you see a stranger reading in public. Post a review on NBC!

 IHO of April Fool's day, read a book with a funny title or cover

Read a Southern Fiction.      

Read a book of short stories.

 IHO April showers, read a book with a water word in the title.

 

10 pt   /50

 IHO of The Audies in late May, listen to an Audie award finalist audio book (from any year). 

 Read a book whose movie version you have already seen. Post a WIJFR post to tell NBC about it.

 Memoir written by a man, post a review on NBC.     

 Read a book written in the 1970’s    

 IHO Mothers Day, read a book featuring an eccentric mom! Post a review on NBC.    

 

15 pt   /75

 

Book which revolves around a medical theme (fic or non-fic)   

Read a book set at least 100 years in the past or 100 years in the future. 

 IHO of Easter: Book about a religion.

 Read a book it seems like everyone has read but you. Post a review on NBC.

Great list!  Some of the books on the GR lists have been on my TBR shelf forever so this looks like an excellent opportunity to knock them out!!!

You are awesome!  This list looks fantastic!

This list might be helpful for the book/movie task:

There were several on there that I've seen and didn't even realize were based on books. ::hangs head in shame::

I've never done a challenge before. Are you able to do more than one book per item or just one? Can you read a book you've already read?

You read one book per task.  There are also 25 point tasks (typically picked by the finishers of the previous challenge).  SBC is a shorter challenge, so there are 20 tasks total.

Rereads are okay, if I'm remembering correctly, right?  Maybe someone else who has done more challenges can chime in here.

I'm excited to do it after having a year or so off!

Rereads are fine. You just need to read the book within the time period of the challenge.

Here's the spreadsheet - remember to copy it for your own use instead of just writing in it as it is!  I'm posting all of this to the book bio!

It would help if I posted the link, hm?  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Arz0wH-yMB8idFVNa2RDRkFNSFRwbktNZVVUVEFfX3c&usp=sharing

I love it!  I just need to see a stranger reading and what the 25 pt tasks will be and I'm ready to go!

I am hoping that I can join in with you guys. I have my licensing test today and God willing I pass and I get my reading time back. If I don't it is back to studying.: (
