The “Cutthroat Competitor Cupcake” is coming!
This is a cupcake that’s NOT fooling around.
Hard to conquer, but your BAPs will surely mound.
You thought the “Triple Threat” was hard to earn?
This one’s NOT vinegar; yet, neither is it sauterne.
This cupcake counts as ‘cuatro’ – which translates to four.
With a 350,000-word-endurance, these books are worth tons more.
This Captain will give you four BAPs to really increase your points.
After all that page turning, this isn’t one that disappoints.
Looks like a romance is starting to blossom,
and the ‘show and tell’ turned out awesome.

What a coincidence; here’s the butterfly again.
And looks like the hero was nothing more than a friend.
Because this dude is blond, with a little more muscle.
If you’re not you getting all these, you'd better hussle.

This puzzle’s just a little more difficult.
Be sure the puzzle is “square” in cut, and 240 pieces.
Still, we’re sure you’ll love the end result:
Two for one, with many BAPs increases.
PUZZLE #137: Jigsaw puzzle “September BOMs” - here.

Yes, indeed! This puzzle is worth one “Cutthroat Competitor Cupcake”
and one “chunkster” cupcake

Puzzle #137
Woah this one was intense!Puzzle 137 for PMM
This puzzle was Nasty in the worst sense of the word!! Over an hour it took me to complete it but complete I did. I won't those BAP rewards. LOL.Puzzle #137 for B'dazzled Blue.
If you’ve read a few classic romances,
One with a few significance glances.
You’ll get this one without a clue.
Which will be quite a coup.

Announcement:
With regards to “Cutthroat Competitor Cupcakes,” 350,000 words = 1,400 pages.
However, keep in mind that for some of the longer books they squeeze more words on per page. We go by word count first, when we can find it, then refer to WorldCat.
Sooooo... that is why sometimes you will see an 800 or 900 page book count as a “Cutthroat Competitor.”
Also, your Captain has a link to a list of approved books, to which we will continue to add. Thus far they are:An American Tragedy
Atlas Shrugged)
A Breath of Snow and Ashes
The Civil War, Vol. 1: Fort Sumter to Perryville
The Count of Monte Cristo
A Dance With Dragons
The Fiery Cross
A Storm of Swords
It
Les Misérables
Sacajawea
Voyager
The Wise Man's Fear

Carpe Librum ~ the name of MY group at another site! :) So I love the name, though I don't read books that long. :)

Mod
**gasp** Another site! **gasps again**
LOL! Clever you! Love that name, too.
Cadet Blue, Puzzle #138 - mailed in.
So, do we have to earn a cupcake in order ot get extra credit for an approved doorstopper? Or how is that working? What puzzle earns the cupcake for that? And if we have to earn the cupcake, can we use it on books already read? I read Atlas Shrugged back in May. (wonder if it's worth it or just easier to read 3 shorter books).
Mod
Yes. You must earn the appropriate cupcake first, before redeeming.
"What puzzle earns the cupcake for that?"
Any puzzle with this symbol
is a “Cutthroat Competitor Cupcake.” "And if we have to earn the cupcake, can we use it on books already read? I read Atlas Shrugged back in May."
Yes, any books FINISHED since April 12th, with the appropriate word count.
So there is a reason Vicky is handling Pewter Blues cupcakes, because I just cannot wrap my brain around them. Using my book from May, Atlas Shrugged: is it worth earning a redeeming a cupcake for it if we have already used a cupcake to get extra credit for it before? Or is it better for me to say read a new doorstopper for the new cupcake?
Mod
This puzzle isn’t for the lazy.
It might make you a little bit crazy.
It will be worth it in the end,
though you probably won’t call me, ‘friend.’
PUZZLE #139: Jigsaw puzzle “September Buddy Reads - Double Flip” - here.
