I can't work in fools for any of my books. All my books starting in prince end in a plural which aren't good words to start with for the third tier.

The Cattle of Geryon are rumored to be at the end of the world and King Eurystheus has asked you to find them and bring them home. It sounds like a long journey but you could do with a vacation.

Thanks, Ashley. I will read Girl, Missing. I think you could read Missing in Death now.
Ange wrote: "what is it Viji, we still need two more books in the relay after that one"Ange, I will read Girl, Missing. I think Ashley is reading the next book beginning with Missing and ending with Death. We would need 2 more books to complete 5 books.

I should finish The Last Man tonight. (#13 in series)Then I'll start Journey to the Center of the Earth for Book 1 (Classics) in the Relay.
I would LOVE to have some help figuring out what Labor it will fit into...? Assuming, of course, that relay books count for Labors as well.
There are a few starting-with-"Death" books I'd be wiling to acquire and read - but I might wait to see if someone else can pick up the last two books so I don't have to buy anything.
I have Death Sworn
The Death Code
A Death Displaced
Death Whispers
Death and the Girl Next Door
I own the first two and I think I can get the other three. Does anyone have a book that would fit after?

I don't think it can start with "The" or "A". These relay rules are pretty pedantic.
Ah, I wondered. Too bad. Hopefully, someone has something starting with Sworn.

Its a very easy read and you can't help but get attached to the 2 main characters as the story goes. I need to get the 2nd book there is quite a mystery in the princess family tree that needs to be revealed.

I would think no...but I'm going to check!

Oooh 5 stars sounds like a great review! I have the second book too - so at least if I love it I can jump right in.
...I've just been feeling a bit picky with my reading lately :/ All the books that I have from the library that I was *dying* to read I just can't start

Dont we have all the relay books sorted I thought there was only 5?Kimberly - ,,, Earth
Ange - Earth Girl
Viji - Girl Missing
Ashley - Missing in Death
Noa - Death Sworn
Can the relay books be used for labours too?Just in case, I'll add possibilities here for Journey to the Center of the Earth: A Signature Performance by Tim Curry
So far (In addition to being a Classic):
*Headstrong character
*Has many more than 5 covers
* Someone survives an attack
* Something catches fire
P.S. - I'm whispersyncing this one. I'll switch my edition to the kindle version so the Tim Curry reference in the audiobook doesn't create any issues for the relay...
