Love Stinks Reporting Thread

[Anna]

I like both your songs, Lori!

[Anna]

I just noticed that Book spine poetry is worth 50 points!

*runs to post second one*

Oh, we will have to chose 1 poem to represent our team...

[Roz]

Down to the wire. Finally finished . I thought it would be "hot sex" but found it fell into the Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Yeah Yeah task. Funny but a bit disturbing. Cassandra is one sick puppy. That makes 3 books for the Toppler.

I had a lot of fun with this one. Now I can go through all the books everyone read and add some of them to my TBR list. Ugh!!! It keeps getting longer!

Hope everyone had a good time. As they say in Little League, we're all winners :)

[Rusalka, Moderator]

2 books done!

Where's my reporting thread...

[Rusalka, Moderator]

P.S. While it may be 1am here in Aus, go you good things for your last hour of reading! woot woot!!

Hey Beverly,

Can you "edit" your reporting message with all that you have read? You can use the link in msg 3 to find your name's link to it.

I think this may be your third completed task. Is this correct?

You read two pretty hefty books Travis! Nice contribution.

[Naomi]

finished book 5 :

Dash & Lily's Book of Dares

and updated my link

[Roz]

Sorry Almeta, I got confused about the postings. They aren't all in one spot. One is in message 101 and the other 2 are in 261.

Yeah, but submit as many as you can. That will give us more to choose from! ☻

[Kat]

And with number 9, I am done! Is it nap-time yet?!

[Almeta]

Hey everyone, we are down to the last few hours.

Great job done so far!

If each of us took at least one of our titles and wrote a verse for Silly Love Songs, we could really rack up some needed points.

GO TAKE A LOOK, and WRITE A RHYME or two!!!



Go Love Stinks

[Anna]

aaand done with #15

[Lynn]

That is one of my all time favourite YA series! What did you think of it Anna? Will you read the other two?

OMG! Perfect! LOL

[Julia]

Well, my plan to stay up late with you guys and read didn't really pan out! I had dinner and two drinks with my work friends, and that was it! I couldn't keep my eyes open past about 10. I did finish #8 this morning, but #9 didn't happen. Oh well. I've had so much fun doing my first Toppler! I'll definitely be doing more.

[Naomi]

book 6 finished on Feb. 12 is going under the heading

" You'd Think That People Would Have Had Enough of Silly Love Songs "
and was

Speaking from Among the Bones

and I will update my thread and put my verse in the proper location.

[Snoozie Suzie]

Finished my last two books and will update my post in a bit.

Right down to the wire, Almeta - I like your style ;-)

Everyone has done an amazing job, I'm in awe!

Well done to everyone in team Love Stinks! What a great team! Thanks also to our brilliant captains!

[jaxnsmom]

Now that we're done...

[jaxnsmom]

Almeta and Debra - do you want us to pm one or both of you with our top choice, or top two choices for the book spine poem?

[Debra]

Finished my last book with plenty of time to spare, and I actually got some sleep last night. Wrote 4 line of verse for it, too. Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet.

Fourth grave beneath my feet
Who'd think you'd be such a cheat
One body, two body, three body, four
Men! They can be such a bore!

[jaxnsmom]

Love it Debra!!

teeheehee

[Debra]

Rusalka, try writing 4 lines for a Silly Love Song for
Grave Witch. That would work and would give us an extra 5 points. Otherwise, maybe you can find some other task it will fit in.

[Anna]

PM'ed to Almeta

[Pragya]

Silly love song-

Radiant

Your love is like light,
bright, shining, radiant.
Save me from the darkness,
lift me into your world of love.

Sorry for the crappy song. ;)

Radiant

[Pragya]

Silly love song-

Primal

In a world of hate,
love is primal.
The solution to all wars,
the medicine for wounds,
the light in darkness,
it is love that lasts.

Primal

I'm down for only 15 points but have achieved 55.

Here is my "song" for the extra 5 points that I posted in the song thread.

Speaking from Among the Bones

You left me here all alone
Speaking from Among the Bones.
Thinking of you is bittersweet:
The love we felt so complete.

My hero until my dying day
We'll meet again, so They say.
Peace, quiet here with the dead
Thinking of the last things you said.

Some walk into the fire
Consolation from the heat.
Our love so hot;
The cool of the stones
Eases my sorrow among the bones.

Almets (☺), Is this supposed to have a link?

[jaxnsmom]

I know our captains have done a fantastic job tracking everything, but there are a lot of entries, and if I was one of them, I'd have gone nuts by now :) So please double check your update post and be sure all of your books are there, and indicate if you wrote a silly love song.

[AmyK]

Updated my post for my third book. Not what I wanted to accomplish, but at least I got through those.
