Sorry Lisa for not answering earlier. Somehow goodreads decided I didn't need to receive update from this discussion thread anymore. I hate when it does that :@!!

So yes, I'm very bad at sliders. ;)

Yes! :D

I am sad there is just one more. I can't wait to see what he writes next though. I'm hoping for more Carter/Percy crossover!

This is the NBRC Book Ninja! Just when you thought you couldn't earn any more Book Advantage Points (BAPs), I appear!

You never know when I will pop up, or what I will ask for. These little mini tasks will be worth one or two (1 - 2) BAPs.

For the first task, I will grant your Team one (1) BAP for any Team where two members read books by the same author. They may be the same book, or not. They may be under different pseudonyms, too; it matters not to me!

You have until the 23rd of November to earn these points.

Until the next surprise.

Post finished task here.

does it only count if two cadet blue members read the same book in November?

I think it does. Because otherwise we'd have completed it already!

Christine, you've been reading Cherise Sinclair, right? The new book in the Shadowlands came out on Tuesday and I'm currently reading it!

Books finished from Nov 1 to Nov 23 count... and to earn the point, you have to go post it in the thread that the NBRC Book Ninja linked in their original post. :)

Emy and I have both read books from Rick Riordan.

She read The House of Hades, and I read Titans Curse.

woohoo!!

Also, I'm currently reading Shadow and Bone
Really liking it so far! It's a super long weekend for me (Thank goodness...) I'm going to visit my grandpa up in Canada (My homeland ;p) So I plan on reading quite a few books since he will be at work on Friday. Poutine and reading is in my future tomorrow!!

Hey Emy, thanks for the reminder. I wanted to buy that :) I can't wait to read Sally's story.

Cool. I was planning on going to all teams shelves tonight to see if there were any matches... I'll look to both of yours to get rick Riordan dates :-)

Same spell it out rules as before. (Character names included.) One member, or four, it matters not to me.

Any books 160 pages or greater, finished by November 1st, or after.

You may NOT use books used in other November tasks.

You will be granted two (2) BAPs.

You have until the 23rd of November to earn these points.

Post finished task here.

I redeemed 12 "chunkster" cupcakes for Cadet Blue. Thanks go to: Vanessa, Amanda A, Susan, and Sonia.

That is the max I can do today; I do more later.

One of the three main characters in Unwind is called Lev. Does it count towards the spell it out FALL task?

My friend was going to lend me that but he accidentally lent me book 7 instead. :(

I redeemed all possible "chunksters" and Triple Threats for Cadet Blue, as of today. For the last group, thanks go to Christine, Emy, Jessica (Lily), and Lindy. This gave you all 12 more BAPs.

Hooray, Lisa Kay! :D

Just finished . Feeeeeeeels. Agaaaaain. <3

I need to try that one too! :)

Dresden is all kinds of awesome. But is a dark and gritty noir urban fantasy. Not for everybody's tastes. If you need your characters to have their HEA, this'd isn't the series for you.

Just finished . This series keeps improving.

Just an update of our trivial pursuit - Don't forget to update your books read!

Sonia, would i still be able to join for the Trivial Pursuit? I had an exam earlier this week so I was quite busy studying, got a B, not that great but glad it was above average.

Currently reading 3 books at once since I have buddy reads for and . Shadow and Bone is SO GOOD!!! I'm trying to be a good girl and not read ahead. :(

I'm reading for just me at the moment, and I am just loving it so far! I've always been a fan of detailed writing when it is done correctly.

Has anyone read any of these lately?

I've read and rated it 5 stars :) I still need to read . I hope I can squeeze it in January. *lol* I have too many books to read already...

...will there be a BR for ? I would love to join.

Daughter of Smoke & Bone & Days of Blood & Starlight were my favorite books last year. They are incredible.

And yes Jessica, you may join. Just post them on the sister group thread, I'll provide the link as soon as I turn my computer on. :-)

Jessica, I'm currently reading too. :)
