30.1 - Ms Anderson's task: Name Dropping
Since January 2012 I have had the opportunity to meet many people whose work I admire. These singers, actors, authors, and performers are just as amazing in real life as the works they create, so I'd like to celebrate them with my task!

…And it's not just to make you all jealous, I promise!

and read a book that corresponds to the options that come up. If you roll the same number twice, do the same option twice.

Graphic novels and children's books 100+ pages that are not excluded by SRC rule #4 (under Book Formats and Page Numbers Explained) are welcome! But no rereads allowed.

Required: Post the numbers you rolled and any relevant information if it's not obvious in the book's description.

1. Adam Baldwin and Jewel Staite: Both played my two favorite characters on Firefly, a great SF show that really needs to come back (please, Mr. Whedon?). âž� Read the next book in a series you like. The book must be identified as part of a series on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ (series title, book #) and be at least book #2 in the series.

2. Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell: These actors worked on Quantum Leap, one of my all-time favorite shows‒I even got to ask them a question at their panel last year (and made an idiot of myself doing so). � Read a book with the genre Time Travel on its main page.

3. Stan Lee and Salvador Larroca: The comics these guys create are amazing! Stan Lee has created many, many iconic Marvel characters, and Larocca's art is gorgeous. � Read a graphic novel (preferred: one published by Marvel).

4. Ellen Hopkins and David Levithan: I got to meet these two authors right after my birthday last year, and I got my favorite books they've written signed (Burned and Boy Meets Boy, respectively). � Read a book by an author (living or dead) that you'd love to meet.

5. Andrea Gibson and Weird Al Yankovic: I was blown away by their performances when I got to see these two last year. They're great in video and on CD, but they're even better live. � Read a book with the genre Poetry on its main page.

6. John Barrowman and Patrick Stewart: Both of these actors come from "across the pond," and I'd probably marry them if I could. � Read a book by an author (living or dead) who is English or Scottish by birth.

I promise I will try to be better about updating this...

I just wanted to say I'm a massive Firefly fan and I love this task :)

I'm not sure I forgive Joss for the end of Serenity (view spoiler)[He killed Wash! I love Alan Tudyk (hide spoiler)]. What am I talking about of course I forgive him.

Did you know Joss is on twitter now?

Wanted to clear this one for option 3: The Sandman, Vol. 2: The Doll's House...

That'll work.

Thank you!

I rolled two 1s, could I read books 2 and 3 in a series or should I read the next book in 2 different series?

Vicky wrote: "I rolled two 1s, could I read books 2 and 3 in a series or should I read the next book in 2 different series?"

I'll accept either way, as long as both books are identified as being x# in a series.

I rolled 2 and 1.

So can I read Claim Me - J. Kenner for 1?

and

The Call - Geralyn Beauchamp for 2?

Both will work--hope you like them!

I'm looking forward to reading Claim Me :D

I've changed my mind about book 1 now and thinking of reading Eclipse - Stephenie Meyer as it's book 3 from the Twilight Saga.

Whatever you prefer; just remember, no rereads :D

Not read any of the Sagas lol til this month. DD has the books and I'm nicking them ;)

So for roll 3, you would prefer that the graphic novel be from Marvel but it's not required, correct?

I was so happy to roll a 3. I found an alternative fiction that is a graphic novel and by Marvel calledMarvel 1602. Did I mention I love Shakespeare too? This looks to be my dream book. I hope it lives up to my expectations.

Angie wrote: "So for roll 3, you would prefer that the graphic novel be from Marvel but it's not required, correct?"

Correct. You could read a DC one, or a Dark Horse one, or a manga...it's up to you.

I really liked that one! Hope you enjoy it, too.

Hi! I rolled Snake Eyes!

May I read 1 book from one series , Harry Bosch #18?
And the second book from the Cedar Cove Series which is #8 or which is #2 in his Jessie Stone series?

Any of those will work, since they're numbered in a series.

Will Gen 1 work for option 3?

It'll work. Enjoy!
