Tiamat
Goggles Read a chain of 3 books with all the letters of GOGGLES (there must be 3 Gs) in the title/subtitle.

I would vote for NOT Goggles. That one is harder than I thought it would be.

I can easily find a Q, Z and U for the spell out.

They only have 6 points after their turn, so anything works. That would give us 8 points

My next 4 books don't have Sugar in the text at all. I'll look at what else when I get back home Sunday afternoon.

I'd go with Sugar too

peanut butter blossoms are peanut butter cookies with a Hershey kiss in the top. it's goes on when it comes out of the oven so it doesn't melt

I would have said Sugar Cookies since they cut out into christmas shapes...

Per Real Simple....

Peanut Butter Blossoms, but that doesn't seem right.

Same here. I can't finish my E until after 4pm on Saturday and I have an even Saturday night, so its going to be mid next week for me.

I also have an H that has 300+ I've been looking for an excuse to read.

I'm doing an Ella Frank Re-Read, starting Saturday and her first is 382.

Most of mine are right around 300 pages.

H
A - Jackie - 500+
C
K - Jackie - 500+
E - Lisa 382
R - Janine - 300+

If we want to try to get out of 2nd (an into 1st), we should probably goal for over 300 pages per book. Just to get those 3 pts (vs 1 for under 300).

I have a 61.2% Black Cover that has 382 Pages, but its about 3 down my list. Anyone have anything sooner or with over 500 pages?

Roll: 5
Question: What color is Santa's belt?
Answer: Black

Since I knew that was right, I but in the answer and here the task: Read a book with a ___ cover.

It is a "White" space so we only have to read one book.

Imma rolling now.

Same here.

Alright, so Janine and Jackie for this turn.

Looks like we need the spreadsheet completed and completion posts. If you only want to do the posts, I can do the spreadsheet. Whatever is easiest.

I have books coming up that would work for A and R for sure. Could easily find the others.

It doesn't look like anyone has done Methuselah yet, but it is possible I missed it.

If we select Scylla instead:
To capture Scylla, you will need 6 chains

Complete the following tasks
Leg 1 Read a chain of 3 books with a lake on the cover
Leg 2 Read a chain of 3 books with spider legs on the cover
Leg 3 Read a chain of 3 books with a character wears armor
Leg 4 Read a chain of 3 books with the letters "PHOENIX" in the title/series
Leg 5 Read a chain of 3 books with the author's initials in "BOSTON"
Leg 6 Read a chain of 3 books with the word "SHELL" in the text

My first book in November with 6 page count has 246 Pages and I probably wouldn't get to til Friday. Unless my Bingo call today gives me another option.

Task: Read a book with the number 6 in the page count.

ETA: Wikipedia says 6 weeks as well, I think we're good to enter"

Ok. I'll enter and come back with the task.

Only two of us need to read for this task....whatever it ends up being.
