NEW COUNTDOWN DATE

Now we have time to finish those books we started :D

The Words of the gods

Hera, realizing her 3 week timeframe was nearly over, and incensed that Bookules had managed to nearly complete the impossible task she had given him, enlisted the aid of Até, the goddess of mischief. Até went to Chronos, the God of time, and tricked him into believing he was performing a task at Zeus' request. Chronos caused a time slip in the library. Essentially sending Bookules back to the beginning of week 3, adding an additional week to Bookules task laid out by Hera. Bookules must spend an additional week compiling, collecting, and restoring the library.

Chronos, angered that he'd been tricked by Hera, went to Apollo. Apollo and Athena discovering Hera's treachery, while unable to reverse the time slip, were able to offer Bookules some small boons to ease his tasks during his additional week in the library. As he was in essence, redoing his final week of Labors, they offered him the same bonuses that he'd been offered for the original last week of his tasks.

Sounds good... if not, we can bank. I won't submit the others in that labor until all are complete. Then we would just bank them.

Thanks Fandury! Do what you can, if not we will bank and hopefully use next challenge.

Thanks Gea! It's so frustrating... they could be right there waiting for us ;)

I found a Greek Mythology book in our Travel agent list. To complete bonus 16; Anyone have a book to fit:

Put the bull into a headlock- Read a book with “head” in the title or covers where characters are wrestling

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

We have Camilla's Banked Book Black Friday that we can start the new relay with.
Anyone have a book starting with Friday?

The book One Day, in the Travelers account has "Do the Right Thing" in it!

You can look for a book with Head in it (or 2 people wrestling on cover), or Greek mythology . If your in search of a book ;)

Any chance you have the page number?

thanks Tasia! I'll add it to the planning sheet.

I can't find a book starting with Company, that's a tough one.

Polar Bears We Have Finished Our Main Labors!

Now only have bonuses left.... Last bonus is another Title relay. Anyone interested? I'm going to look for an Audiobook with the above requirement. Everyone is welcome to try to check their lists ;)

Whew! Good job Emily!!! I'll enter when I return home in a bit :D

Thanks Gea! I'm not sure how to do that . Any help is appreciated

No luck with Clockwork Angel :(

Sarah wrote: "Yeah, I'm sure someone has mine on Kindle but I read it in paper form so I've got to find another way to search for it :/"

I've got Clockwork Angel and can check it quick ;)

Thanks, my kindle works for searching the text. I don't have a lot of those books though :/

Sarah wrote: "I just finished Water For Elephants and it said "Speak of the Devil" I'll post it to the read books thread"

awesome! Thanks Sarah!
I'm planning on putting all our current bonuses on the planning sheet, but will wait to submit them until we finish a Labor. That way, if we con't complete that labor we can hopefully use those books in the final challenge.
