A Million More Pages - Hogwarts: The Dragon Nursery: Finished

The Dragon Nursery hosted by A Million More Pages on Goodreads.

This challenge started as part of the Hogwarts challenge but continued after. I played 5 rounds in total in 2015. I hope someone else will do a challenge like this somewhere.

This challenge is all about birthing and raising your very own dragon and is loosely based on the game formerly known as " Cootie ". The object of the game is to build your dragon using various body parts, which correspond to numbers on a die.

Here's how to play.
Step #1. Roll the die, post your roll.
Step #2. Read a book which corresponds to any task under that number.
Step #3. Post your book with completed date and repeat the process until your dragon is complete - which means you have completed at least one task under each number.

Q ~ WHAT HAPPENS IF I ROLL THE SAME NUMBER?

A ~ If you roll a number a second time before your dragon is complete, choose a different option from that number's choices.
~ You must complete a task with each roll, but you do not have to choose the tasks in order.
~ The exception to this is the Number 1. After you roll your first 1 and complete that task, your dragon has an assigned gender. You may re-roll for all other 1's.
~ If you are one of those people who always gets the same number on these random things (you know who you are), you may re-roll after you have exhausted the list of options. That means you won't have to read more than four books for any number!

Points and Time Limit

Because this game depends on the random factor of dice rolls, there are no levels and no time limit.

You will receive 10 points when your dragon is finished, given an appropriate name (male or female), and your final game is posted.

Bonus Point = 1 point if you find and post a picture of your dragon!

Ready? Have fun! And watch out because some of these babies breathe fire!
