Petulant child for f*ing sure! 😠

You may be wondering, what’s Steph up to? Why all the locked TBD threads? Well….

As many of you know, May is SOS’ bday month. Those of you who’ve been around since 2020 and before may remember our 10th bday celebration. Throughout the first week of May, to celebrate SOS’ 15 years, I’ll be sharing some puzzles focusing on PNR & UF authors and their books we fell in love with in 2010. Many of which we’re still raving about today. They’re a big part of why I felt the pull to create this group focusing on fantasy series.



So, strap yourselves in & join us as we travel back to the year I sent out my SOS and all of you answered … there just may be a prize in it for ya, if you can master the puzzles and win the favor of Mr. R 😁🥳

🤞🏼😊

I listened/watched those available today and they’re awesome. Short, but informative and so interesting hearing her tell you herself. Number 8 to be posted either this or next Friday 😁

There will be 3 jigsaw puzzles: Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. Each will allow you to set your preferred number of puzzles pieces. You're welcome to challenge yourself with a high number of pieces or make it easier for yourself. Each puzzle will be of the cover of a popular UF book from 2010.

There will be 2 crosswords: Tuesday & Thursday. One features the Best of PNR & UF of 2010, the second features generic supernatural-related words.

There will be 5 What's the Difference puzzles: Mon-Fri. Each will consist of two illustrations. The second of the two will be missing 5 things.

Think you find them all? 🤔

👍🏼😆

I asked Google and AI responded: “ Yes, the Rylee Adamson series and the Elemental series by Shannon Mayer are connected, but they can be read independently. The Rylee Adamson series focuses on Rylee, a Tracker who helps find missing children, while the Elemental series centers around Larkspur, a young woman with weak magic who is part of the Elemental community. While the series do overlap, you don't need to read one before the other.” 😊

Very late in the game, I recently started JD Robb’s ‘In Death’ series and subscribed to her newsletter. In the latest, her publicist notes,

When we were at The Greenbrier last summer, Bonded in Death -- In death #60 -- was only months from release. Nora sat down with me to film answers to many questions about the In Death series. (I’ll be honest here and say that I kind of demanded that she do this.) My questions were all over the place: from how Eve Dallas showed up in her head to how Nora would like off-planet travel. She was kind enough to give me over an hour to run through my three pages of questions.

The result is a video series we call In Death In Depth. We just released the 7th episode and I plan on at least 10 more in the series.

You can watch to the episodes here: https://jdrobb.com/in-depth/

There will be 2 word search puzzles: Mon & Wed. One will feature popular PNR authors from 2010 and the second will feature popular UF authors from 2010.

There will be 2 slide puzzles: Sunday & Friday. Each is the picture of a cover from a popular 2010 UF novel.

I'm terrible at these, but the online version helps a bit with a background image to show your goal image.

There will be 5 Uncovered Cover puzzles: Mon-Fri. Are you a cover lover? These may prove to be challenging or rather easy depending on how much attention you pay to book covers.

Challenge yourself with these naked covers. 🫣
