The 50 Book Challenge :: Can You Handle It?

10-12-2010, 05:33 AM

Still roadblocked. I'm trying to not only figure out how to move on to Roy's prank for Ed, but what their pranks are gonna be.

Maybe you should read some spookey scary stories to get your creative juices flowing!

10-13-2010, 05:04 AM

Ack, noooo! I know Ed's gonna pull some kind of vampire prank on Mustang, but I still need to figure out what Mustang's gonna do to Ed!

I've never written a fun fictional story like this so I don't think there is much more that I can do for you except be a positive reinforcement! You can do it Taiyo!

Nice! I wish I still had time to read... T_T The most I've been able to do recently is knock out a few manga... /pouts.

About all I've been able to do is reasearch, research, and more research.

OH MY GOSH
YOU GUYS
I am unreasonably excited about this, but once I started reading The Lord of the Rings, I realized almost immediately the the songs on the movie soundtracks are named after the chapters. BUT just yesterday I figured out how amazing it is to put the song named after the chapter you are reading on repeat while you read. As if the books weren't good enough already, that just makes it even more intense. :lol:

Taiyo- I'm sorry I don't have any ideas for you about Roy's prank, but good luck! :)

I know Ed's is gonna have a prank that's Dracula-oriented.

10-14-2010, 04:58 AM

@FeyonaSaibre - Aw that's too bad... Maybe you can try and go spend some time in Herid Fel's library of books! Get some reading done there!

@Iltu - Oh really? You know I've had those books in my shelf for years but I've never picked them up. I think next year after I'm done with this list I will try and start on them!

@Taiyo - Well research is always helpful! I'm sure you'll think of something from all of it!

One of my FMA OCs--Tira, a vampire--gave him a few tips on how to make it all the more convincing. Now I just need to figure out Roy's prank...

Yeah, I would need the kind of Ter'angreal that would make it so I could be in more than one place at the same time... I have no time... sadly.

10-14-2010, 11:03 PM

I'm back on. I gotta stop perusing the sci-fi section at the library...

10-15-2010, 05:30 AM

@Min - That is sad :/ I hope you get to read some more soon!

@Taiyo - Did you lose track of time while perusing the sci-fi section? I love that part of the library =3

10-15-2010, 05:35 AM

Just about.

10-15-2010, 05:55 AM

Did you get any good books?

10-15-2010, 06:37 AM

nope. I need to concentrate on doing research for my astronomy essay first... :cry:

And I've finally seen my first episode of Series Five of Doctor Who. I think I'll end up taking a liking to Matt Smith.

10-15-2010, 12:20 PM

OH! I want to do the challenge! I saw this on LJ forever ago and meant to join but didn't have time. Well.. I do now. I'll start my list later today after going to the library. (I can take out 15 books at a time.) (:

10-15-2010, 05:57 PM

Welcome to the challenge, Dmitri!

10-15-2010, 06:07 PM

@Taiyo - Aw dang... That doesn't sound like fun :no: But at least the new season of Dr. Who sounds good!

@Dmitri - Welcome to the challenge! 15 books?! :shock: I've never tried to see the maximum number of books I can rent out at a time but I'm sure it isn't that many... I'd never read them all before they were due!

10-15-2010, 07:48 PM

:XD My library system lets you take out 40 books at a time - there's no way I could read that many books in the 3 week loan period :lol:

Although I guess if you're doing research being able to take out that may books could be useful - especially if you need a lot of different sources to pull together your thesis.

10-15-2010, 09:20 PM

My library will allow me to borrow as many as I can carry. ^^ And I get four weeks on anything that isn't brand-new.

Finished the second volume of Chrestomanci earlier this week, and started Crystal Singer by Anne McCaffrey. It's pretty good so far, and very different from the other stuff I've read recently. It's refreshing.

10-16-2010, 03:15 AM

According to my faking my way through three weeks of seminars, I've read three entire books. Truthfully, I only read about 2/3 of each, but I ought to post them anyway... And some articles I've read!

*is watching Yumeiro Patissiere on Crunchyroll for the sheer fluffiness of it*

10-16-2010, 04:54 AM

I'm on another Bleach marathon. Proof that I need a life!

10-16-2010, 05:06 AM

"Another" meaning?

10-16-2010, 05:25 AM

I'm watching a ton of Bleach online.
