NBRC: Tower Teams Read 2013, Round II discussion

Hallo! Hope everyone's ok.

I'll get to this properly tomorrow afternoon when my course is over but here's a brief overview for the October challenge.

First of all, who wants to take part in the 'read like a banshee' bit? No theme, just an informal page goal... Please let me know what you want to put.

And then... the tasks. We have to read 15 books that fit, 1 for task one through to 5 for task 5. I would suggest we use the spell it outs for the higher numbers, to make things easier and give us longer to read for them but I've not come up with any ideas for words yet!

So... the spell it outs are:

Theme #4: Trick or Treat (a word to do with a trick or treat)
Theme #7: Halloween Party Item word

I think using those for tasks 4 and 5 would be a good idea.

The other themes are:
Theme #1: A classic horror or a modern revamp of a classic such as Dracula or Pride, Prejudice and zombies

Theme #2: Book by a master of horror or fantastic fiction, maybe one for the fans of Neil Gaiman and Stephen King? Or Terry Pratchett

Theme #3: A book that focuses on Celtic/Gaelic traditions or fits the meaning of Samhain

Theme # 5: Books about something that scares you.

Theme #6: Books set in creepy places!

Theme #8: Something with vampires/werewolves/witches etc in

Theme #8: Books with red orange and or black covers or halloween themed covers

Theme #10: Characters have special abilities.

I hope that makes sense and there's plenty there for any that don't like horror (a bit like me!). I have some ideas for what I can read but let me know if you have ideas about which to do :)

I'll post this in the new October thread in the sister group :)
