I don't suppose it matters either way really and changing it will probably just make more work for you right?

Ok you guys can pick your number at 12. Anything from 1 - 425 (for now). I will be up around 6:30 and should be able to give each person their number right through the day. Will try and check a lot so no rush :)

Night Night


message 59: by Claudia (new)

Claudia (claudiavstoomanybooks) | 1779 comments Barbara is going to pick a number for me. So if the task is a really difficult one I can blame her.

Go on Barbara, choose wisely. *evil grin*


message 60: by Barbara (new)

Barbara | 4434 comments Mod
ok, I'll pick for you. You're lucky that the number of the devil wasn't available yet :) Since you're foolish enough to put your fate in my hands I'll pick the number that in the Netherlands is considered the number of fools and that is 11. Good luck with that task Claudia. God for once I am glad I don't live in SA because if it is a horrible task at least I am a safe distance away :D
Well one foolish act deserves another. Claudia since I got to pick your first task, will you be so kind as to pick my first task?


Lauren (Sugar & Snark) | 1262 comments Mod
I will pick no. 218, see it adds up to eleven so I to am following in your foolish footsteps :)


message 62: by Lu (last edited Mar 11, 2012 09:58PM) (new)

Lu | 12672 comments Mod
Claudia 11 - Something on the cover that you have a phobia of - spiders, snakes, heights etc.

Lauren F 218 - Containing, pertaining to or involving Egyptian myth – should be relevant enough to the story line.

Good luck guys, don't hate me if the task is hard :P


message 63: by Shannon SA (new)

Lu | 12672 comments Mod
Naz 88 - Read a book with a character that is a Stalker or someone that is being stalked.

Lauren S 23 - Author Surname Start with S

Barbara 199 - Read a book where the person on the cover's face is being mostly hidden by their hair.

Crusader 42 - Read a book where the person on the cover is hiding their face or their face is being hidden by something (painting/hands etc.)

Jessica 49 - A book about Witches or Wizards or has them in it (they need to be a big part of the story)


message 79: by Lu (new)

Lu | 12672 comments Mod
Crusader and Barbara can compare notes on those ones :P


message 80: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Smith Phew, glad I didn't get Barbara's! Those kinds of covers are normally YA romance, blech.

88 is interesting but hard to find. Although IMO, Twilight would count.


message 81: by Lu (new)

Lu | 12672 comments Mod
Hahaha poor Edward, but Bella does get stalked by that other guy :P


message 82: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Smith Yeah, poor Edward, the stalker, pedophile and control freak.


message 83: by Lu (new)

Lu | 12672 comments Mod
I think your hatred of Edward is like my hatred of Wuthering Heights...


message 84: by Lauren (new)

Lauren Smith Haha, yeah. Although I hate Bella and pretty much everything else about Twilight too.

Except for that Thom Yorke song in the New Moon movie. That was awesome.


message 85: by Jessica Simone (new)

Jessica Simone ooohhh thanks!!!! i love mine!


message 86: by Barbara (last edited Mar 12, 2012 02:11AM) (new)

Barbara | 4434 comments Mod
Oh bugger. I think mine is one of the hardest ones yet. Thanks Claudia :(
Does facial hair count? Because a wizard with a large beard and moustache will get me a long way.
Is there a book about the Adams family with cousin It on the cover? That might do the trick :)


message 87: by Lu (new)

Lu | 12672 comments Mod
Niecole bbm'd me - she wants 12 - a book where the author or main character shares your birth month or star sign.


message 88: by Lu (new)

Lu | 12672 comments Mod
