Mod
YOU MUST POST YOUR TASK LIST!
1. The challenge runs from October 1 – December 31, 2014 and you MUST post your task list! (Don't worry if you don't have all of your books chosen yet, you can put TBD, or something similar, in for a task without a book.)
2. Anyone may join in at any time, and count any books read between October 1 and December 31. All participants must post their book list in this thread.
3. Books do not have to be specifically from Red Dress Ink.
4. You may only complete each task ONCE. Likewise, books may only count for ONE task.
5. To post points: Post the point value and number of the task you completed, as well as the book you read for the task. It also helps (me) to post your total points as well.
6. For multiple-book tasks: Books do not need to be read back-to-back, or in any specific order, but you must have read ALL the books for a task in order to be awarded points for it (no "half points").
7. Audiobooks and e-books are acceptable to use for challenges, as long as they are the complete and unabridged versions.
8. Books started before October 1 may count for any task in the challenge, as long as you are no more than halfway through the book as of October 1.
9. You may change the books on your list at any time however; changing books for tasks already completed is NOT permitted.
10. Re-reads of books are okay, unless the task specifically says otherwise.
11. The first person to complete every task in the challenge is the winner. If no one completes every task in the challenge, then the people with the top 3 scores will be declared the winners.
12. Prizes for the top 3 finishers:
First Place – A $10 Amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com gift certificate
Second Place – Two credits from either BookMooch or Paperbackswap (your choice)
Third Place – A book from my PBS/BM inventory

Quick question about 5.5. Is this an author that's a celebrity that's happened to write a book or an author who has become a celebrity due to the popularity of his/her books?Thank you!
Mod
Thank you!"
Well, it's meant to be the first example you gave, but if that doesn't work for you, you can make the second example work. :)

The whole year flew by for me. I'm wondering if it's because I'm done with school. Because I have not understood why/how I keep losing weeks. It's like I have something coming up in a month or two, and plan on planning for it, then, next thing I know, it's the day or week before. Smh, the only thing I can think of is that it's because I no longer have the constant deadlines that I've had for years and years.

So with this challenge, I went through past challenges that were set for the same time frame (October - December) and pulled tasks that I thought were fun and/or would be easier to assign a book to.
I've felt really tapped out on new ideas lately. When I've had a new task idea, I thought I carefully stored it away in an easily accessible part of my brain. "Not so," my brain says as it laughs at me.
So I hope you like what I've chosen for the tasks. :)
