Suzanne’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Tower Teams 3: Save Christmas - Read 4 books with title start and end letters that connect to make a square.

(Note: my personal opinion is like "Under my skin" is the same feel as "in the land" and doesn't really imply a direction/movement. But it's confusing to me for sure!)

Note: There is still no Mod answer about using "Under My Skin" for our last direction task. Janeylou - I think you are reading a heron book instead? I think they may not want to answer the question and just let us figure it out :) I'm not sure how good my brain is (long day) but I guess we will need either a team consensus or another book :)

I agree - I can't even imagine a better team.

I'll go check on that lemon cupcakes wheel :)

Sure thing! I'm so glad it's there.

@Nanci - I finally found an online version of your book. I can't search the whole thing, but in the prologue it says:
"Thula Thula is a natural home to much of the indigenous wildlife of Zululand, including the majestic white rhino, Cape buffalo, leopard, hyena, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, ......"

So I think it'd work - just double-check that is in your book's prologue.

(And if someone finds a zebra for sure and finishes, I'll hold off on finishing my book in case we get the task again.)

I found one containing "zebra" that I will start as a backup. Today Is quite busy, so I likely wouldn't finish til tomorrow of Monday.

Happy anniversary Nanci! And Jen that sounds like a wonderful trip! And how special spending time with your grandmother and hearing those stories!

Nanci - if you are reading the book on kindle, you can do a search inside, but I'm not sure otherwise! It sure seems likely it might have "zebra"!

Haha and too bad we aren't one of the teams that can use one book for multiple tasks :)

That's wonderful! Thanks!

Lemon Cupcakes:
Read a book with a (cup)cake on the cover
read a book with flour in the text
read a book with eggs in the text
read a book with lemon in the text

I think we will need to ask about Under my Skin to see if it works. We don't have a real team consensus, and it's complicated if something gets disallowed after the fact. As we are one of the top teams, I would guess the things we do are scrutinized more than some, which is ok!

I'll let you know.
Meanwhile, I did finish the last sorting hat book, so new wheel tasks coming soon.

You definitely can! Those things just have to be done by the end of the month (challenge).

I'll be done with our last Sorting Hat book in about an hour.

Wow you ladies are amazing!

Here is what the mods said:

If they are clearly used as directions you'll be ok.
In the Lives of Puppets wouldn't work, I think (position not direction)
Can't think of an in title that might work though.

So (it's late at night thus correct me if I'm wrong) Under My Skin seems like position not direction. And to me, so does Wake me Up Inside? But I'm not sure about the second, especially since "Up" was listed as one of their examples. What do you all think?

Thanks Janeylou - that's great!

Someone asked in captain chat - I'll let you know as soon as it's answered.

You have missed nothing :) Thanks - I'll do that right now.
