A Child’s Eye View

The Unwelcomed Child
Leah on the Offbeat
The Outlander
Fifty Shades if Mr Darcy
Woman in Cabin 10
Art of War
Lime Gelatin and Other Monsters
Bedding the Highlander
Zodiac
The Vampire Hunter
The Pirate’s Witch
Year One

The child Leah approached the Outlander, Mr Darcy to arrange a meeting in Cabin 10 to discuss the art of war. Leah was wearing a shirt stained with lime gelatin and Mr Darcy was dressed in what looked like his bedding.
"What is your Zodiac sign?" asked Leah.
"I am a vampire hunter," replied Mr. Darcy.
Leah was confused by the response and left to write a letter to her Pirate prince. The world declared the beginning of Year One.

The Mystery if the Tomb


Icebound
Mr Darcy goes Overboard
Honor bound
Party Princess
The Tyrant's Tomb
The Mystery of the Moving Image
Bird Box
Crown Jewels
Sense and Sensibility
Never too Much
Mostly Dead Things
Murder is Easy

The Icebound Mr. Darcy was chatting with the honor bound Princess Mia while at the Tyrant's Tomb. They were participating in a murder mystery party titled "The Mystery of the Moving Image." Mr. Darcy was dressed rather dapperly in a hat with a bird feather in the band, while the Princess was resplendent in the crown jewels.
Mr. Darcy said, "One must use their sense and sensibility when investigating a murder."
Princess Mia agreed, "There is never too much sense used."
The party became much more sinister when they discovered mostly dead things. Tomorrow's headlines will have the world saying that "Murder is easy."

Chestnuts In The Snow

My Lucky Charm
Kevin's Alpha
City of Heavenly Fire
A Song for Julia
A Room With A View
The Chestnut Man
A Kiss of Shadows
Where the Light Enters
Up From the Grave
Cut & Run
Dark Awakening
Let It Snow

Lucky Kevin and Heavenly Julia met one day in a Room With A View,
hoping to find the Chestnut man and stop him from taking his due.
One dressed in shadows, the other bathed in light,
they surveyed the room, with no villain in sight.
"He is up from the grave" said sadly one.
The other agreed, "he has cut and run".
Dark awakening has started, send out the crow.
The world sighs deeply: "Let it snow"

Adjective for person #One: The Unwelcomed Child
Person #One's name / role: Leah ..."
I’m about to finish Fifty Shades of Mr Darcy: A Parody with a little re-jigging.

Avarice Mini Challenge

Full rules can be found here

You will have three bingo cards with words related to greed. For each word, read a book that matches the word in some way: cover, title, genre, theme - be as creative as you want as you try to cover as much of the cards as possible (These are in msg 2 of this thread)


◈ Only books finished between 11th and 18th November will count for the Avarice mini challenge (i.e. books finished in week 6).
◈ Books will either count towards the main part of the challenge (the Seven Deadly Sins) or towards this mini challenge.
◈ You will gain 5 points for each square you fill
◈ You will gain an additional 7 points if you complete a card
◈ You will gain an additional 7 points for each 7 square straight line you completely fill (vertical / horizontal / corner-to-corner)
◈ Captains will report straight line bonus requests in the Check-in at the end of the week.

A little over 16 hours to go, we are currently@26 books. We need at least another 4 books to avoid a penalty.

Countdown


@Megan and Hannah, I don’t have any books listed for you.

I’ll be finishing Fifty Shades of Mr Darcy today (bad book rev plus BR)

Hoping we’ll have enough options for a second story

If we swap that in the Chestnut man can o for a cover color

Maddy wrote: "Can a book be BOTM and be used in mini challenge? Maybe the Chestnut man should be substituted with "Bird" or "Zodiac" so we can use Chestnut man for BOTM?"

BOTM is in addition to the challenges.
