I have an idea, maybe for a 15 point task or even a 20 (possibly)... To celebrate Halloween, Christmas, and Valentines day all in one.. Read 3 books... One book has to be a thriller, for Halloween, a book set during Christmas, for Christmas, and a Love story for Valentines day. Just an idea :)
That one would be a 20 :). And it's a good idea! Maybe for Halloween, make it suspense/thriller?Thanks, Melanie! ;)
Decided that I want to have four tasks for each value that's < 50.

1 books you've been recommended, 1 from your favorite genre, 1 by your favorite author, 3 in a series that you're continuing, 2 you've had a while and haven't read, 1 you recently bought/got, and 1 you borrowed (library or otherwise).
I like what you're thinking of, though, with the YA and adult thing. I had a similar idea to do 5 stand alones nad 5 series books that were 2nd or further. My favorite is the mash-up, but I still don't know what I want to do.

Either ones you own that you don't get to read or a genre you don't normally read (Classics for me).
I swear for the last 3 Task Completion seasons I have added Little Women and Gone with the Wind to my list and I still haven't read them yet. lol
LOL! I understand :). I think Wuthering Heights has been on my last 2 or 3, and it's not going to be read this time either haha.Thanks by the way! I love your ideas. We could maybe make a big challenge out of it for 20 or 25?
*books you've been avoiding, own and don't get to read, don't normally read. I'm thinking 20?*
20 sounds good, I really have to start reading my own books and stop borrowing from the library.I buy them and never get around to reading them. lol
For 100 points. Read books with numbers in them. Have the numbers keep going up or down. but in order.

Since it is starting in Sept and most schools start after labor day you can have a task concerning that.Read books where the main character is in High School.
Read a book where the main character is worried about getting into college.
Fall!!! Road trips & caramel apples! Pumpkin pie.But I think a Road Trip task would be wonderful.
Read a book where the setting is in your state.
Read a book where the setting is in your country.
Read a book where the setting is in another country.
Read a book where the setting is somewhere you have never been.
Read a book where the setting is somewhere you have been too!
Just a few thoughts.
The numbers task can be made smaller as well. But I seen you had a task to do with numbers this time already.
What about something to do with water. Last time to get wet in the ocean, river, lake before it gets cold.
Read a book about a water sport or with a water sport item on the cover (boat, jet ski)
Read a book where the setting is on the ocean or mainly near the ocean. (the last song, Twenty boy Summer)
I'm Ready for more tasks to be posted! :) I Check everyday just to see!
Sorry, Kristin! I've been pulled down in homework. I'll have everything up tomorrow morning at the latest.
Wrote all your ideas down, MS. Really good thinking!
It's cool! I know exactly how that is, so don't even worry about it!
I've got two tasks left to make (20.4 & 25.4). I'm about to update with what I've just written down.Good luck everyone!!!
Love all the challenges this time Zakiya.Off to put my thinking cap on for the rest of my Books.
Thanks, Melanie. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to come up with (almost) all new tasks every time.I told myself I'm going to do like last session and just add as I go. I'll be less stressed that way. So I guess I'm off to read! :)
Available tasks:
5.4
10.2, 10.3, 10.4
15.3, 15.4
20.2, 20.3, 20.4
25.3, 25.4
35.3, 35.4
100.1
Point Value Requirements:
The little notes after the number of books required is sort of how I think when I'm making tasks. When leaving your ideas, just let me know what point value you think your task should go under.
5, 10, 15: Has to require one or two books being read. These should be fairly easy tasks, with a few that are a little more challenging.
20, 25: Has to require two or three books to be read. These challenges will be a little more challenging than 5, 10, & 15.
35: Has to require 3 to 4 books being read. Harder than the previous ones, but ones that can be completed before the 50 and 100 for sure.
100: Has to require 10 books to be read. This one will most definitely have to be planned out.
* This time I want to have four tasks for everything except 50 and 100.
