Rolling dice is a great way to decide! I think setting in the water seems pretty hard. But go with the roll!

I nearly gaffawed in the middle of this busy but quiet hospital restaurant because of this ;) Yea Pandas!

[Ray (user2637)]

We have a whole playlist of D&D, geeky, etc. songs that we play on Tuesdays while getting the game room--and ourselves--ready for D&D night.

My edition has a shadow on the cover (bonus). I don't think it fits for any of the other goals"

Got it! I'm going to put this on the reserve sheet and earmark it for bonus - I think we need all the bonus books before points get counted so it feels safer that way. :)

If Ray wants to read that, the mc in my book is also a musician, and my claim can move to 11D. Up to you, Ray!

Right now I have you down for 4A and 6E... did I miss you finishing a book somewhere?

[Kazen]

I think I'm finally caught up - let me know if I missed your post! It was a long day at the hospital but no bad news for any of my patients so yea! :)

I finished 6E yesterday...see post 4197 ;)
I'm reading for 4B now...should have 4A book from library hopefully today.

[Bety]

Also my current audiobook is Sharp Objects, which works for both 1A and 7D, but I claim neither.

[Lory]

My current book looks like it fits for 6D, 10E, and 11A. YAY! I love (and sometimes hate) options.

[Rose]

Almost done with Wild Sheep Chase which will work for

Labor 7A ◈ Read a book that was originally written in a language other than your own

[Ray (user2637)]

Mine has a clarinetist as well, so also works for both 3C and 11D! I'll read it, but I'm going to finish my current book first...it's a little slow, but I do want to finish it. So I can take either space, doesn't matter. But between us, we've got both covered. :)

Ok, I'll keep 3C then since I'll be done today or tomorrow and we can get the bonus points for finishing the section.

[Ray (user2637)]

Process of elimination has left my banked book, Cross Kill, in the 5D spot , so I'm claiming that one and it's already read.

In case it was unclear above, I'm claiming 11D with Xylophone. Also, I will claim 1D with Helen & Troy's Epic Road Quest. "The god focused his gaze on them, and they were immobilized by his supernatural power...The god asked them to sit. It was only a formality. Their bodies surrendered to his impulses...He slunk close to Helen’s and Troy’s immobile bodies." It's a whole major scene when they are given their quest, so I think it's enough...?

ETA: Or, DUH!, I can use Helen & Troy for 8C - treasure hunters!

[Ray (user2637)]

Yay, we finished our first Labor!!!! :D :D

Now claiming 4B, Read a book with someone's name in the title.

[Ray (user2637)]

Tammie has 4B already. :/

Bethany wrote: "Now claiming 4B, Read a book with someone's name in the title."

[Ray (user2637)]

I'm thinking 9A is the hardest one - someone works at a non-profit. I can't even search for this well. But I did find this list of books about Doctors Without Borders, in case someone wants to read one of those....

ETA: Or maybe we have a bonus from earlier to fill this one?

Oh shoot. Nevermind!

[Ray (user2637)]

Okay, I've come up with 5 unclaimed tasks that I can't find Travel Agent books for. They are:
8a Read a book with a skeleton on the cover.
8b Read a book that's cover is at least 3/4ths yellow.
9a Read a book where someone works at a non-profit.
9e Read a book with a medal or trophy on the cover.
10e Read a book with 3 parts in it.

Just to keep them in mind when looking for future books. I'm not even sure how to look for a book for 10e...

Also, I have found 10 TA books that fit 10 unclaimed tasks. In case we want to use some of our ~26 TA books sooner rather than later. If we close out more entire Labors, we'll get more bonuses to work. Maybe we'll get "search the forum" bonuses!

I put the suggestions here on a Google Spreadsheet if anyone wants to see. :)

Ok, off to have lunch and read!
