Hi Kathy,
As long as their is at least 4 of something you are good to go. So 5 fingers works :)

About the "Ones - Sixes", the articles (a, an, the) are counted?

Yes, articles are counted for the 1-6 tasks :)

Yup - continuing the ripe old tradition of using alternate tasks :) Couldn't get more than a pair for my rolls :(

Jane, you can use Chance this month!

Oh yeah... Ok, thanks Fran. Not SO useless after all ;)

Way better than starting the new challenge with an alternate again, maybe the beginning of a new trend!

We can only hope! - but the chances are likely slim with my memory at month end incorporated into the mix ;)

Just checking I have done this right (mind you I am half way through the book now - LOL)

January 2015: 1st roll result was (4,3,6,6,5) keep 4,3,5,6 then rerolled 6 - result was (2) keep now as 2,3,4,5,6 = Lg.Straight-5 numbers in a row - Read an Anthology
The book chosen to read:
Beyond the Dark by Angela Knight et al

Phew - that was fun!

You got it right Sally!

Happy reading!

Do I have to write here if I finished the one task?

you track your progress in your original post in the other thread

to edit your thread, in the lower right hand corner of your post, there should be a link that says edit - click that and make appropriate changes

I might need some suggestions for a book title with 6 words....very few on my shelves. I might end up using my 3 of a kind for this month :)

the new julia quinn has 6 words in the title - The Secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy

Thanks Dee :)

Anything else besides Historical?

nothing that I can think of off the top of my head - but i'll look

Out of Bight, Out of Mind - ER/Sci-Fi
The Wicked Deeds of Daniel Mackenzie - historical
I Only Have Eyes for You - contemp
Nice Girls Don't Bite Their Neighbors - pnr
Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night - pnr
I'm Dreaming of an Undead Christmas - pnr

Thanks Dee!

i would say, Undead Christmas could function as a stand-alone - its about mid series - but is more of a vignette

and the bella andre (as much as I'm not a fan) - are normally pretty solid stand-alones

I'm not that into pnr these days so the Bella Andre is more appealing to me, and I like her :)

Here are a couple from the last year or so of my reading:

The Only Way Out Is In - scifi and MMR LiAW
How to Raise an Honest Rabbit - Amy Lane and I don't think these need to be read in order
You Can Leave Your Hat On - MMR

Jeez - heaps of 5 word titles, but not many 6! I even have a few 7s.

Most of LB Gregg's Men of Smithfield are 6 word titles, depending on which edition you select ;) ...

Thanks Jane!

Have you rolled for February yet?
Just a reminder ;)

The Men of Smithfield and You Can Leave Your Hat On don't meet the 100 page minimum :(

They look good too!

I have every plan to do so in the next few minutes :)

Thanks for the reminder Fran!

Got a Small Straight first pop! Going with that since I applied my alt task to the Large Straight in January :)

Reminder!

Please roll your dice between today, Feb. 25th and March 5th!

If you forget to roll the dice between those dates, please use the March Alternate Task-

March- March- Read a book with an MC athlete, or has a sport that is played in the story or has sports equipment on the cover (i.e. a baseball glove, ball, skis)

rolling while I remember ;)

So far I've been lucky! Got my full house last month and my small straight this time! I already had two consecutive series books set up for BR's in March, too! YAY!

I'm rolling now since I forgot over the end of Feb/early Mar!

Oh, thanks for the reminder, Jane...I've come close to missing twice already this year, and it's only the end of March! Better roll tonight while I'm thinking about it. =P

What can I do if I can't finish my March book until the end of month? Or better asking... Who is the limit to finish a book?

Hi R-wka!

You have until March 31st to finish your March book. For each month's roll you have until the end of that month to complete the book(s) chosen for that month.

If you can't complete the book by the end of the month, you can do the 'Alternate Task' for that month the next month, in addition to the next month's roll.

For example, if you don't finish your March book, you can do the alternate task for March in April, along with your April book choice :)

Thank you. I will try to read the book until 31st but I wanted to know what if I can't.

I've noticed several people post the details of their roll and when they've finished a book on the participants thread separate from their main tracking post. Am I supposed to be doing that? I've just been updating my tracking post!

Hi Mrs. Soule!

You are doing it exactly right :)

Posting your updated progress in separate posts is just a personal preference and not required.
I think it's just participants wanting to share their rolls and book choices with everyone.
I like seeing what everyone is doing but I don't go back to their original posts to look. So the updates are a nice way for me to see everyone's progress :)

Hi Nan!

You need to count the 'The'. All words in the title count for the # of words in title categories.

Woohoo! Not only did I remember to roll at the right time, I actually managed to roll a Yahtzee!

Hi Everyone!

It's time to roll for your June task! Please roll your dice between today and June 5th for June.

Good luck!!

If you forget to roll between that time period or need to use the Alternate Task because your roll doesn't fit anywhere in your challenge, here it is-

June Alternate Task- Read a book with a dress, flower(s) or jewelry on cover

dumb question: -March- Read a book with an MC athlete, or has a sport that is played in the story or has sports equipment on the cover (i.e. a baseball glove, ball, skis). Whats an MC athlete? MC to me is motorcycle club

Hi Kerry!

MC= Main Character

I will make that clearer since you are right, it can also mean motorcycle club :)

Thanks Fran, thought it might have been an american thing as Im in Australia, I even googled it and it came up with collages.
