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

Nice, that's handy. Man I wish those two statements weren't different. because "receive a task a third time" - heck yeah I want a respin. But "once completed twice" - conflicts. Hopefully they'll get back to us soon.

But in the mini rules it says: Once a set has been completed twice, captains can request a respin if they receive that set a third time.

So I don't know - let's see if we can get an answer. Meanwhile - hold off on the second sloth we have listed :)

I found a book I can listen to tomorrow that has a Snake on the cover. And I changed my heron book to a shorter one - hopefully I will finish it tomorrow, but if not, it'll be Wednesday morning. I do have tons of books with animals in them, so I'll see where we are at tomorrow :)

Thanks Janine!

Basilisk Tasks:
Read a book with a mirror on cover
Read a book with a snake on cover
Read a book with the letters ROOSTER in the title (all -- multiple O and R required!)
Read a book whose author initials (all) are in PETRIFIED

Oh thanks Lisa - that's better than 4 mirrors.

I found a shorter Heron book, so I'm switching to that one.

Oh shoot - so we got:
Sloth (all the animals) again - and we haven't completed two so cannot re-roll

and Basilisk - which is 4 books with a mirror on the cover.

100 is the minimum number of pages. And ok - I'll ask for a reroll :)

The new wheel is Star Wars, Jedi (which we've already done twice). Do you want to try a new roll or go with this one?

I'm checking in our Christmas wheel.

Awesome! Thanks Amanda :)

I'll find an animal if there are any left after I finish my books already on wheel.

Nanci - thanks for the recommendation. I love elephants. My beloved Grandmother collected elephants, and she passed that love to me and even my children, who all get sentimental about elephants because of her.

Elinor - I'm so glad you had fun with your cousin! And thank you for noticing the page count for that BOM!

I have 3 more direction books <200 pages in my tbr, so I'm up for getting another one."

That's awesome - the author name made me laugh.

And yes I think there are much worse prompts.

Wonderful! Thanks Janeylou and Jen. I'll listen to Down the Hatch.

I think after we complete this second time roll, we can opt to re-roll if we get it again.

Wonderful! But even more wonderful is that trip - I hope you have an amazing time Leslie!

Haha I will take and enjoy that competitive spirit Kirsten. Brilliant idea to read that book too!

Started Above Suspicion. It's an espionage novel published in 1941. So interesting as it describes life just as WWII was starting."

Oh that does sound interesting! My parents were very young at that time, and I've always loved hearing what they said about those days.

Yes, it's probably good to use The Fine Print for main tower if we can.

Jackie, if you can do those two, lets go ahead and put them in for that Wheel. I just finished my book and will get it checked in and read a book that will finish off the square (starts with T and ends with S) Unless someone else already has one in progress.

Possibilities that I could read quickly:
Starts with T ends with E
Starts with N ends with E
Starts with T ends with S
Starts with T ends with A
Starts with T ends with D

I'm sure I could find others :)
