That’s great I’m hoping to have an E and a W finished before deadline. We can move things around as needed to get as much of the final word completed as possible.

We have a little over 20 hours to go before deadline. Please make sure to have your books posted an hour before deadline to give LaurLa and myself a chance to post to the s/Sheet.

We are @26 books and need at least 4 more books to avoid a penalty.

O - Owen

Day 2 DQ's– Chapters 20 – 38

6 We have got a fair way into the book now and my first question is to ask how you feel about it? What do you like / dislike about it
I like it so far. I like how we are still none the wiser as to what is happening.

7. What are your impressions about the time line from Marius to Kristine to Laura?
Not quite sure.

8. Hess and Thulin are not necessarily bosom buddies How do you see their differing working methods and relationship developing?
I think they will grate on each other but ultimately make a good team.


9. Hess insists on visiting Magnus Kjaer and showing him some photographs. What do you think is the significance of "The chestnut man" being something new?
It is meant to send a message to the authorities, possibly as a previous failure.

10. Erik Sejer Lassen is arrested - there is a lot going on during the chase - How do you read the events leading up to the arrest and during the questioning?
I thought he was the Chestnut Man, but I suspect it may be a woman

With a mix of short and longish books we should be able to do well here.

I can cover any of the series numbers, this is what I have immediately to hand. What I have to hand:
#3 324pgs
#16 176pgs
#17 210pgs
#25 432pg

This mini challenge is going to need some co-ordinating and commitment. If we can aim to make a 15-21 step ladder that would give us up to 70 extra points.

As each book needs to be finished after the previous one we need to know what you can read.

Week 8 - Mini Challenge
Gluttony Mini Challenge

For this mini-challenge, your team is going to try to read higher and higher numbers in series. In other words, you're going to build a ladder of books from series, starting with the lowest and going as high as you can get.

However, they need to be finished consecutively. #3 cannot be finished before #1, and #10 cannot be finished before #6. You may skip numbers on your way up, but you cannot read for a number that is lower than the one that has been read previously. The ladder only goes up, not down.

◈ Only books finished between 25th November and 2nd December will count for the Gluttony mini challenge (i.e. books finished in week 8).
◈ Books will either count towards the main part of the challenge (the Seven Deadly Sins) or towards this mini challenge.
◈ It needs to be clearly visible on GoodReads which # in the series the book is.
◈ For books that are part of a sub-series (e.g. Discworld titles) we will be using the information on the book's main page. e.g. The Wee Free Men is #30 in the Discworld series, not #1 in the Tiffany Aching sub series
◈ Only whole number entries allowed (no in-between .1s).
◈ Books need to be finished in order.
◈ One ladder per team.
◈ You will gain 5 points per book in the ladder.
◈ As each ladder gains 3 rungs you will receive a bonus 10 points.
