WBC 25 Point Tasks

Here are the 25 Point Tasks:

Booney - Read a "non-fiction" book about a paranormal subject (i.e. Bigfoot, Area 51, the Bermuda Triangle, telekinesis, the jersey devil, chupacabra, spontaneous combustion, yeti, the loch ness monster, hauntings or ghosts etc.). Do not read a novel with characters with telekinesis (such as Carrie) but a "non-fiction" book. I say "non-fiction" because, well....I don't know what else to call it. But the book has to be about the paranormal subject. Such as The Day After Roswell; or Into the Bermuda Triangle etc.

Suggestions for WBC

I know it is early and I probably wont post an official post on the board until next month, but I do want it done by December because December is obviously a busy month for me and I am sure most of us. Plus it can help us with gift suggestions.

So if you have suggestions go ahead and leave them here if you don't want to forget them. If not start thinking so we can have another great challenge.
