[Steven]

Note to self, buy fancy ponchos for rainy London!

[Jenny]

Or, look into hiring a tall lovely man to follow you with an umbrella, in case of rain. I'm sure that is a vacation job option out there. Right?

I wonder if Henry Cavill is available.

A little bit greedy, are we?

He might be between gigs, who knows?

[Mary X]

I'll be on vacation mid-April please keep sign ups open until at least the 21st. I beg of you.

Not sure that I would want him behind me. Then I would be missing out on the view ; )

The plan is to release the teams at the start of May so they'll be open past 21st April.

[Judith]

I don’t think that will be an issue, no begging needed :)

[Judith]

And I hope both you and Steven enjoy you trips!

He can walk beside me. Also, I think he's going to need to be with me 24/7, so I'll have to make sure I have a King bed. X)

That looks delicious!

[Sonia]

You know what is bugging me? It has been 6 days since the newsletter, and the mods have managed not to post everything about it. No rules, no sign-ups. It's like they actually manage to stick to the plan.

[Cat]

Crazy times, right?!

but this is also your times to feed the chipmunks: what would you want to see in a Greek Myth Muse themed challenge? what would keep you entertained?

[Sonia]

I might be tired and grumpy, but I am not an idiot.

Allowing epic poetry, considering the theme? 😆 😆 😆

[Sonia]

epic poetry?

EPIC?!

But now that you're going there... I think plays or scripts would be a cool one.

[Sonia]

Well... I can always search for my Lusíadas copy - kinda like Homero's Iliad but telling the story of Portuguese Expansion by Sea. Maybe now that I don't have to study all the meanings behind the verses, I might enjoy it more. Although, I did like studying it. Same for the plays. It was the classic authors from the 70s generation (1870, not 1970) that I hated.

[Sammy]

The Odyssey is one of my all-time favourite books ;)

[Sonia]

Eni requested The Odyssey told to children from the library to read with the little one. It's text instead of verse, so, it can be used *giggles*

This mod having covid and unwell children to deal with definitely helps with not having all the info posted!

[Sammy]

Yuck! Hope you all feel better soon Sophie!

[Melindam]

Ugh. Hope you and the kids get well soon, Sophie.

Speaking from twofold experience, Covid just sucks. :(

[Melindam]

Which just made me check whether there has been a Muse of medicine.

Apparently not (there has been a goddess of health, Hygieia), though there is a medication called "Muse" ... the next bit of info is for Backroom BOM users only!!

(view spoiler)[..... to treat "erectile dysfunction" (hide spoiler)]

Which in turn leads me to petition Lexi and Sonia and Jenny to start searching their KUs for some (view spoiler)[Muse-porn (hide spoiler)] culturally inspiring Backroom BOM reads, right?

[Sonia]

Sonia? Shouldn't be Jenny?

*harrumphs*

Ohhhh.. does that mean the Backroom BOM is going to be revived for Tower Teams. We have to get back to Dino Island Part III and find out what Hot Prof and his groupies are up to.. didn't we leave them on a cliffhanger?

[Sonia]

Awwwww Sophie, that sucks.

Hope you all get well soon

[Melindam]

Sonia wrote: "Sonia? Shouldn't be Jenny?

Her as well. Earlier post updated.

I don't know, but we could always hope the Mods would allow it. :)

[Sonia]

So far, my KU search has returned only under 100 pages tales.

Further research is needed

Yes, yes and yes!

and we can discover who the real gluttons for punishment are by seeing who puts themselves through a re-read before starting #3 :D

[Jenny]

Cat wrote: "Crazy times, right?!

- a labyrinth
- being able to read The Iliad, The Odyssey etc, even though they are poetry
- writing our own epic tale of team muse based heroics
- certainly a backroom BOM about a muse
- a group listen to Gaiman's The Sandman (at least one muse in that)
- a muse based quidditch tournament (teehee)

Off to look for appropriate muse erotica. What better thing to do in the morning?

[Melindam]

:D

[Stacey]

Jenny, you always find the most interesting books. And here I was expecting you to consider the girls the muses for the hot prof so we could read Dino Island 3. (Thanks, Lisa, for remembering)

[Sammy]

I'm almost certain Hot Prof referred to at least one of the girls as his muse at some point. Don't feel like checking them to find out though! 😆

[Cat]

of course your erotica search can be to include people that would be inspired by the Muses - a sex-crazed poet?

I think Jenny is likely better than me at this, but I do agree to take the blame for the hedgehog book. I personally am over the dino island books and find new authors/stories more fun. I think there is likely all sort of Greek myth options out there.

I'm ok with this plan.

[Judith]

We've seen some comments that people may not realize sign-ups for Tower Teams are open.

So, in case you weren't aware: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Angie ☯]

Is there a list of who has signed up? I didn't get the email from google forms this time - so I was a little concerned that I may not have actually joined. ;-)

[Tina ❣]

[Christina]

We may still squeeze it in. Never say never 😊

[Christina]

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

;)

[Bookworm_gem]

ooo yes please to Wheels!

[Keely]

I'm going to be giving the restaurant one a miss as I am moving really soon, but I don't think I'd be able to resist Wheel, especially if it is towards the end of the year.

[Linda C]

I would love wheels again

[Lauri]

Me four! Loved Wheel — now the libraries are OPEN and I also use Libby….

Pretty pleeeezzee???
