I have you in PJ for now... unless we want to decorate the chariot with those crisps? ;)

Unfortunately the gremlin on the front can't be a decoration - living beings like that were ruled a no-no. So no shirtless men beautifying our chariot, hehe.

For PJ or Chariot decoration -- green fringe? Or we could do the little golden figure on top of the lamp, as a hood ornament for our Chariot. :)

I was thinking the moss on the rock on the right, or maybe the circuit-board-esque lines in the background. But PJ is fine! We need the short books there. :)

Tammie | 4553 comments I have these 2 really short books...just over 100 pgs in my kindle 'free' library...I'm wondering if these would work for chariot decorations...

Double Dare by Rhonda Nelson ...looks like flower petals on the ground
The Wedding Gift (Four Weddings and a Fiasco, #1) by Lucy Kevin ...bouquet of flowers

Maybe we'll have too many flowers...aroma might throw our chariot driver off...hum??? ;)

I think we should all try to find short books to knock out these bonuses...Go Red Pandas!

I think the fringe would look awesome on the Chariot, myself. :)

There are no more open spots in this page range so I made a new section at the end of the E2 planning sheet for books that we can move around, pop into Chariot, etc.

The flowers won't throw the chariot driver off, it will make him smell fabulous. ;)

I'm double checking that we can use the same decoration twice... though in a pinch we may be able to write them in as bouquet, flower petals, wildflowers, etc.

Probably PJ, though the blanket decoration is a possibility. We can put it up a pole as our war flag something something. ;)

I'm not as convinced of this one, but there's a good chance we can make it work in PJ. And if by some freak chance it doesn't quite fit it will go towards Wheel, bwahahahahaha. :D

This sounds great! 400-600 pages is the sweet spot, but we may be able to use books up to 700 pages, as well.

Excellent work! Your next two reads look great, too. :) Just set your start and finish dates for this reread and the spreadsheet should pick it up fine. Oh, and it has to be at least six months since you last read it, but other than that read on!

If we haven't used up all of our Omni-sack prizes yet, we could maybe use this one to get a longer book from a shorter one:
"O5 - The page numbers of one book may be re-arranged to form a new number (example: 250 pages may turn into 520 pages.)"

Or really any rearrangement we might need at the last minute. :) We're getting so close!!!


message 1646: by Kazen (new)

Kazen Ray - good point! We also have the Travel Agent books that can slot in, so maybe the mods will read some nice long books, hehehe.

I did have a look at those and there's 512(ish) pgs, then it skips to 800-something pgs. :/ Maybe they will add more. That's another Omni-sack prize: Use a book from the Travel Agent's shelf. But I think we still have some left from there to use. Planning on filling up Chariot decorations with them?

ETA: Oh, I didn't think to look at rearranging the Travel Agent pg #s. Hmm...
