Sounds like there are 4 of you ready to go. :)

I'm not feeling great today and just got up from a long nap, so give me a little bit and I'll set y'all up on a team and get you all talking here in just a bit.

Sorry, I forgot to post yesterday, I completed this! :) Here you go.

How it fits: Tornado in text ~ "Clouds swirled and sucked inward, TORNADOES touching down in every direction."

:D Lazy time is always a good time. Hope you enjoy your book. I'll add it to the spreadsheet now, since I'm marking mine done as I'll finish it in like 10 minutes. :)

I was just making sure it'd be ok with Angie too before I said, but yeah, we think it'd be fine. We'd definitely want to bump you up a level though, especially since you're on the lowest one.

I guess we'll see what happens with the other team and those players. I'm sorry that happened, it is quite surprising and I hope they are well!

Didn't think that'd actually happen, but I've been keeping an eye on your team and was worried about it since it's been so little activity. :(

Let's see if they respond, and I'll send them all a message. There's nothing saying Mates can't be on two teams (as long as they keep up with both). Another team is 1 player away from forming, if you wanted to join them, and hopefully they would get/stay active.

Hopefully your Mates are ok, cuz I know two of them are usually quite reliable, or have been in the past.

The heart is verified as Red, so yup, it works. :)

Done. I added it to the Pavlov's Post too, which some people have marked to notify them of new challenges and such.

All packs are full right now, but if you would like I can put out the word that you are looking for a pack and we can see if there's 3 Mates who would like to play with you.

Yup, definitely works! Great find!! :)

Nice find Jackie!! Angie and I were talking about this movie the other day. :D I actually have it because my Hubby is a big fan of the movie. Hope you enjoy it!

Haven't looked anymore for Unbirthday, but will. That's one crazy title Ashley!

I'll be taking care of this one for you. A tornado happens to be in a book I just started. :) Should have it done by weekend at the latest.

Kim wrote: "I just submitted completion for my task. If I'm reading the rules correctly, I'm at a standstill until everybody reads one task, correct?"

Standstill for helping with completed criteria. You can still read for your own tasks.

Anyone having any luck for "Off with her head" and "Unbirthday Cake"?


I know there's this for Owhh. I read the first one and hated it, but I'll read this one if no one can find anything else. I'll keep looking too.
The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There

Any memoir fans? I found this one for Ubday, not really my thing tho.
Happy Birthday or Whatever: Track Suits, Kim Chee, and Other Family Disasters

I dont think there's an up-to-date list, other than seeing who helped complete last time. Plus there's Angie and I.

First name only.

Any definitation of dopey is acceptable. So the could be weird, idoitic, drugged and so on.

For ours, we read Life is But a Dream as the MC gets drugged and sleepwalks. I wouldnt suggest reading it without reading the first book tho, you’d be hopelessly lost. But any kind of idiot, dopey, drugged up MC will do.

You can read for your own tasks to advance, absolutely. You just can't read for any more of the criteria.

Everyone who is on Ch 11 needs to read for one player or task, then when everyone has, other players/tasks can be picked up.

And with your own tasks, you obviously don't have to read same initials, and all that. For your own tasks its the full list as one task.

We just felt we needed to bump up the criteria to be a bit more challenging. :)

I'd say it's borderline, but yeah, it works. :)
