Poll: Pick the five 25 point tasks for SBC!

packfan20 · April 2014

The top five tasks will be used for the Spring Book Challenge

Okay, apparently you can only post 5 options (or TN is just being dumb). IGNORE the actual poll and SEE BELOW for the options for the 25 point tasks. Reply with your top choice!

#1: Re-read a book you haven't read in years. Post about how your impressions of the book have changed over time.

#2: Read a book with alliteration in the title. (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9715.Alliterations)

#3: Read a book whose title is at least 6 words long (you can include "The", "it" "as" etc...)

#4: Read a book that is based on a movie or television show.

#5: Read a book from an unfinished category from a previous challenge.

#6: Read a New York Times Notable book from 2012 or 2013. There are 100 books on each list, which is a mix of fiction and non-fiction. (2012 (Including Bring Up the Bodies, Flight Behavior, Salvage the Bones, Watergate, Behind the Beautiful Forevers, Breasts, How Children Succeed, People Who Eat Darkness) 2013 (Including The Goldfinch, Life After Life, Longbourn, The Lowland, The Luminaries, The Signature of All Things, Tenth of December, Book of Ages, Five Days at Memorial, Lean In, Lost Girls, My Beloved World))

#7: Read a DGLA (David Gemmell Legend Award) for Fantasy nominee or winner. (http://www.gemmellaward.com/)

#8: Read a book that takes place in a country you'd like to visit (not where you have lived or currently live) and post on NBC what your dream vacation itinerary there would be.

I don't participate in the challenges, so I feel like my vote probably shouldn't count, but I just want to throw out a suggestion anyway.

Since the board has been sort of slow lately, I like the idea of the 25 point challenges having a requirement that you start a discussion thread, whether book related (what you saw differently in rereading a book years later) or not (dream vacation itinerary).

Just an idea. Carry on!

I agree @susiebw! There are 5 (l think) post to nbc requirements in the rest of the SBC for this reason but it wouldn't hurt to try and add more.

My vote is for #3 I also have a question, if we end up doing #5, what would people like me who have never done a challenge before do?

I would say just look at an old challenge and pick a category you like...but maybe there is a more formal answer?
