Also, Tamika, could I get a page number for your man book, please? I need to bug someone to add the page numbers to it since there's only the one edition with no page numbers.

Amazon says 132 - is that correct?

Thanks!

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

Yep it's right!!!

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

Thanks

[Eldarwen]

Ok, great, thanks!

[Eldarwen]

It is once again that time of day and I'm going to head towards my bed.

The rules should go up soon-ish. As per usual, read through them carefully and check back here in case you have questions. It should all be quite straight forward though. Hopefully anyway :-)

Good night everyone! :-)

[K~Terror]

Goodnight E!!

We've been out all day & am at my niece's soccer game now. After we go eat with everyone afterwards I'll be back home and can get online. I hope everyone is having a really great weekend so far!

[VNerdbooks]

Rules have now been posted whoop!!

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Have a looky through and let us know if you have any questions.

The tasks are all on our team SS so you can also view them there.

It is pretty simple for this game, the only stipulation is that you must read 2 books *before* you are able to read for the bonus tasks, you may read your 2 and then start on the bonuses, you do not have to wait for others to finish so you speedies should be good to go lol.

Anyhoo, it is nearly 2am here and I am still awake grr, going to go to bed now, night all, happy reading.

[K~Terror]

Thanks V! I hope that means you had a fun night!!! We just got home... Yay for tasks & rules!

[K~Terror]

Who says YAY for rules? *smack*

[VNerdbooks]

Haha

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

Added a few to the SS since I was on my actual computer!

[K~Terror]

I'm getting ready to take another peek too!

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

Lol. It was hard not to add to every category!!!

[K~Terror]

Haha! I have that problem myself!

[Eldarwen]

It IS tempting haha.

I've added 2 for now and looking for a placement for a third book. I cannot believe that I still haven't finished Night Study!! Too many other books that want to be read at the same time or for Wobble I guess. But I WILL finish it for this now ;-)

For those with books in the *Labors* bank, please have a look around to see if some of them fit the tasks we currently have. If they don't, no worries, there will be bonus tasks and we might be able to use them at that point.

BONUS LABOR 1


You entered a time warp. Woah Deja Vu.

Gandalf comes to you in a tizzy. He explains that The Ring is missing. Yes, that ring. It's gone missing in the chaos of scattered pages and splattered ink. You must find it! For the sake of us all.

◈ Search the Shire - Read a book where someone throws a party
◈ Journey to Bree - Read a book from a quartet (4 book series)
◈ Survive Weathertop - Read a book where someone survives an attack
◈ Inquire at Rivendell - Read a book that's over 800 pages
◈ Find the Ring - Read a book with a gold object on the cover

Points: 60

[Eldarwen]

Remember, you can ONLY read for the bonus if you have already finished 2 books for the main tasks.

Can we use books from the bank for this challenge?

[Eldarwen]

Only the books banked since Bingo ended.

No others.

[VNerdbooks]

We've done a new bank page for the SS Jessica so you can add to that, any books banked for Bingo we've still got and we can use them in the next challenge so they are not lost.

[Eldarwen]

Here's a quick link to our planning spreadsheet. It is on the first page as per usual and most of you have already found it anyway :-)


For the bonus tasks:

For 0-3 Labor Tasks completed, we can generate 2 bonus tasks. We currently have only one so you ladies can get a bit of a feel for the game, but we'll generate the second one later in the day for all the speedies to have more options :-)

From what I can see on our spreadsheet, we're already doing quite nicely in filling up spots all over the place! So keep up the reading! And the quicker we fill a complete Labor task, the quicker we can get more bonus tasks!
Just saying ;-)

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

Does all the tasks in bonus need to be completed to receive the points? Or just one bonus task?

[K~Terror]

From the examples they've given, it looks like you have to have at least 3 tasks completed of the Bonus to get points. (Like the Labors tasks)

But to have the bonus considered completed so you can have another one available, we would need to have all 5 tasks completed.

Are you looking for an >800 page book too? LOL!

[VNerdbooks]

All tasks need to be filled in the bonus section to get the points

[VNerdbooks]

lol we posted at the same time there

Lol. No. I was giving that little token to Abbie or ST. I think they'll appreciate it more. Lol.

Yes it was really good! Now I cannot wait until the second one is published.

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Oh, we need a 800+ book?

Let me see if I have one.

Just headed to "tha rulz" now....
I wasnt home yesterday afternoon.

[K~Terror]

We have room for TWO over 800 page books!

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Can someone put doen for me

Welcome to Night Vale for Labour 7, Dont Panic

Mom has a nervous breakdown when her son goes misding.

Menagerie for Labour 1, Dress up like a Balisk

They enchant or spell the workers in believing thet they had been fired in order to prevent bloodshed while taking over the Menagerie.

Both were banked after Bingo....so technically I am done with my 2 books...so I can nap for the next three weeks.

[Ghost in the Stacks]

K~Terror wrote: "We have room for TWO over 800 page books!"

I can do both...if you all need me too. I have enough in my magical book hat.

[Ghost in the Stacks]

...and apparently only K-Terror wants to talk to me today....

[VNerdbooks]

lol I'm here Abbie

[Ghost in the Stacks]

V Nerd wrote: "lol I'm here Abbie"

Thanks...at least I am not talking to myself again!

[VNerdbooks]

Haha its usually me doing that as everyone else is in bed

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

It's football Sunday and half time. I'm just checking in with you guys.

[Eldarwen]

Abbie - reasons why the books fit? Thanks! :-)

Weeeell, I'm not going to say no to that offer!! :-) It's not that I don't like reading those fat books, it's just that they take me aaaaaaages, and they're heavy to carry around ;-)

Just added it into my post above.

Auto baby...auto.

I have been meaning to reread these GOT books, I only slightly got started on the Second like last month, but with Wobble I hadn't picked it back up., I barely got to 100 pages.
I was physically reading it, but I am going to switch to auto so I can knock it out faster while I am at work.

I am on hold for the second, but the third was a available now. I just need to finish my current auto, then get started...if I have to I will do the third before the second....I have read them before, so I dont think it will bug me too much.

[Eldarwen]

Argh, shame! My version of HP6 falls short at 768 pages. Typical ;-) That would have been a fairly easy option to help out with the 800+ books otherwise.

[Eldarwen]

Oh, I'm kind of glad I'm not the only one who didn't get far in that book! I haven't actually read more than maybe 5 pages in GOT2? :-/

Yeah, audio does help quite a lot with those fat books but I honestly have a hard time retaining much of the story when listening.

[Eldarwen]

Or should I say "auto" helps? ;-)

Mine depends on the narrator...But . I can tell with the first 30 minutes or so If I can listen to it or not.

[Eldarwen]

Mmmhh, narrators definitely need to be good!

Don't worry on the GoT though! Happens to all of us from time to time, especially when it gets tough to catch up on so many pages everyone else is already ahead (technically anyway).

[K~Terror]

Yay Abbie in the two fatties!!!

I had to run some errands but am on way back home now. Colts play at 4:30 today but my hopes are not high. They be suckin' lately.

[Eldarwen]

To the ladies who've read - do you think it'll work for one of our tasks?

I've read the first chapter now but that hasn't really given me any hints yet.

The male MC isn't a musician by any chance? ;-)

I'm just looking for an easy-going ebook to read at work tomorrow and that one seemed interesting and quick but I'm not sure it'll fit something. If it doesn't, I'll look for something else.
Unless I could go for the metaphoric meaning of "something catches on fire"? Maybe?
