Any Decent Title Would Be a Spoiler
I saw it coming.
You saw it coming.
My family and every English teacher I ever had saw it coming.
I failed the second half of this month's Challengavaganza. Failed like a failing failure from failsville.
I know how it happened, I waited too ling to choose a book, and I got distracted and then I picked THe Sun Also Rises [in my pants] and then I had other stuff I needed to do, and other stuff I didn't need to do but I did anyway and now I'm a failure which means...
the first half of the month will have to be from the dreaded Fail List.
Fail List
1.Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond.
2.Twilight Saga - Stephanie Meyer
3.Plagues and Peoples - William Mcneill
4.Faerwell to Manzanar -Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston & James D. Houston
5.Hiroshima - forgot author, sorry.
6.A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickins
7.Ceremony- Leslie Marmon Silko
8.Cry, the Beloved Country- Alan Paton
Now, as the rules go, there's no reward for completing a punishment, there's no punishment for not completing a reward, and there's no reward for completing a reward.
No official rule has been made for failing a book from the fail list. [my vote fully goes for no punishment for not completing a punishment since the whole point of the fail books is they're difficult to complete] I'm open to your votes.
In my humble opinion, a non-book punishment punishment for failing a fail would be best to avoid a long, horrible chain of failures that would no doubt make me swear off reading actual books for many more years.
So, yeah,
1. Votes for which book (just one book if part of a series) I should read for the punishment
2. Votes for punishment-punishments (if any at all)
3. and Should I start also making video parts to the Challenge compilation?
--next book starts tomorrow.
