***PLEASE READ. I'm back home from the hospital/rehab though tasks are still challenging so again there will be nothing complex, no long-winded explanations (or at least I'll try!), no pics.***
_.~"~.Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ.~"~.MARCH'S THEME IS GREEN.~"~.Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ.~"~._
*You can use https://www.random.org/ (the widget at the top right), Google "random number 1 to 6," or, if you have one, roll a die.

***PLEASE READ. I'm back home from the hospital/rehab though tasks are still challenging so again there will be nothing complex, no long-winded explanations (or at least I'll try!), no pics.***
_.~"~.Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ.~"~.MARCH'S THEME IS GREEN.~"~.Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ.~"~._
- You can have two open challenges.
- There will be -6- different sets of book challenges with 2+ options each.
- You won't know what your particular challenge will be until you roll a random number.*
- Post the number here and I will give you your challenge.
- For any questions, please ask there or in a DM.
*You can use https://www.random.org/ (the widget at the top right), Google "random number 1 to 6," or, if you have one, roll a die.
DETAILS
- Embedded words, as a rule, are allowed but partial words are not. For instance, a word like "walked" must include the entire word and not just the word "walk."
- Tags must be first level, i.e. do not click on "show all."
- No restrictions as to fiction or nonfiction unless otherwise stated in a challenge.
- Shared reads ARE allowed. Shared challenges ARE NOT allowed. That is, if someone reads a book published in 2021. You can read the SAME book. You can't read a different book published in 2021 (unless you get that challenge yourself.)
- If I give a reference link to a list of books, it does not mean they *all* qualify for a challenge unless specifically stated.
- After a certain number of challenges have been given out, I will re-randomize the list.

Hi Morphy, happy to hear that you are back home. I got a 3.

I haven't forgotten you all. MrMorphy had a dental emergency yesterday and I had to find a dentist and an emergency PCA as he was nearly incapacitated. He got antibiotics and is feeling better. I found a PCA not only for the day, but one we can afford in the future. And a new friend. We really hit it off! I decided we absolutely had to be friends when she introduced me to her beagle, her pet, Peave. Ha! Pet peeve. Love it.
I will be working on the challenges today and will get most, if not all up by the end of the day.

Take the time you need. Make sure Mr. Morphy is okay first. We’re not going anywhere! :)

A dwarf I can do, but the leprechaun isn't in the stack, though there may well be an immigrant or two wandering about in there.

Hoping the rest of March is an imporvement over its beginning for you & Mr Morphy.
I have the perfect book for the immigrant experience. I subscribe to the Shelterbox bookclub and the selection to read for 12th April is A Woman no Man, which relates to the experience of a Palestinian woman marrying and moving to New York.

>32 Morphidae: I have a book planned this month that comes up with the tagmash "nonfiction, rural": Christ Stopped at Eboli by Carlo Levi. Because your "Must qualify as nonfiction", I ask if a memoir is non-fiction in your definition.
44Morphidae
>41 Morphidae: From your mouth to the Universe's ears!
>42 Helenliz: Absolutely not.
LOL. Just kidding. Memoirs, autobiographies, and biographies qualify as nonfiction.
In the challenge, I was making a crack at Laura Ingalls Wilder (really her daughter, the estate, and her publishers), for editorializing LIW's books for their own purposes.

I forget - can I use more than one book for a challenge I’ve been assigned? And can I enter books in both challenges I’ve been assigned?
Thanks
Thanks
49Morphidae
>48 raidergirl3: Yes, you can read more than one book for your challenge(s), just like any other challenge. You can read books for any and all of your challenges.
You can have two "open" challenges at once. That means if you read a book for one of your challenges, you can request a new challenge. Even if you request a new challenge, you can continue to read books for any of your challenges for the month.
