Companion Challenge hosted by Rawk-A-Tiers on Goodreads.
Each month the Rawk-A-Tiers have a challenge that is the companion to the book of the month. I rarely read the book of the month but I do enjoy theses challenges. As it is a monthly challenge I have decided just to have this one post for the last 3 month of 2015. I am taking part at RR level and will usually have to do 6 tasks.
☯ You have one month to complete your level for 9 points.
CR Level = 3 tasks
RR Level = 6 tasks
PR Level = 9 tasks
☯ If you are too scared to complete your level and can't finish all of your tasks before the end of the challenge, you may score your points as follows
CR = # of tasks x 3
RR = # of tasks x 1.5
PR = # of tasks x 1
☯ BONUS +1 point for each book you read that has an MC with one of the top 100 phobias (obvious from the book's description or reviews). List of Top 100 Phobias
