No he isn't if I remember rightly E, but yes the set in fire thing could work

This challenge is very creative. I love it! Now I'm off to lure the troll with fish. ;)Also I just finished
but I didn't see any open spots to fit it. So I guess I'll just bank it until I finish 2 others and we can use it on a bonus later on? Unless I'm missing something.
Alex take my mystery spot, I've only just started mine and I've got 2 spots anyway so I'll use it for something else :•)
No problem I've just deleted it so grab it quick before anyone else lol
I just finished
. I would think it would fit for Labor 6 / Someone mentally unbalanced. Agree?

Great, Abbie...lol. That's is exactly what I thought.

Haha ok, thanks!
so it looks like everyone except ST have claimed at least 2 spots for their tasks, once those 2 have Ben completed you can either start on the bonuses or carry on reading for the tasks.We need to let ST claim her spots though before we steal them all lol
I think ST posted the books she took with her this weekend so I'll see if those can fit anywhere as soon as I can get back on line. My husband turned off some of our power while he's installing some switch out back.
ohh man vs electricity = bad!!My hubby blew the breaker in our house lol
There are loads of 9/11 documentaries on tonight, I can't believe it was 15 years ago, it seems like yesterday! Even now watching them makes me cry
I know it! My daughter was just born about 6 weeks before 9/11 so I was home on maternity leave - along with my 5 year old who was addicted to Dora the Explorer at the time. It was a weird time bc maternity leave is like a bubble and then everyone started calling me to tell me about it. Freaked me out - devastating!
I kept running upstairs to watch what was going on on the tv so I didn't have to turn on Dora...
Doesn't really feel that long ago in some ways but in other ways it does.. Weird.
I was at work at the time as we are 5/6 hours ahead and I remember our manager running down the office after receiving a fax about it, I was working at RCI on the phones at the time booking flights etc so as you can imagine the calls that were coming in were awful.After that I went home and tuned on CNN and was glued to the TV all night, it was like watching a movie, I couldn't believe it was real.
It still seems unreal sometimes....
Since I've always been a late riser, I was just getting ready for work. I had 2 employees already at work so I drove downtown (Chicago) to pick them up...Very scary.
I was 14, and in Spanish class when we heard about it. Everyone in class was glued to the tv then.
It still doesn't look real watching this, how the hell did it make the buildings fall down?? I mean I'd understand if the top collapsed to the middle, but the whole thing crumbled like a biscuit !!
As a side note - I found spots for 2 of ST's books if you guys think this works:Treasure Hunter: Because she's on the hunt for a word key
Title in the Title (Mr, Mrs, Lord, etc.)
Um, I don't think that son is title.... Unless I'm missing something
ooh but isn't that one set in space? or on Mars, does that count.......need to check
okay just checked q&a and a different planet works so if that spot is clear we can use it for that
I wasn't sure about "son" either... I guess it's more of a designation. OK -cool! Thanks V!
I'm back!!!I haven't read the thread yet, or checked what our new activity is...plan is to feed the animals and then I'll be back...but if there's something you need me to read, let me know :)

Welcome back! We just slotted a couple of the books you were taking with you in the tasks. Feel free to move/add/delete as needed on the planning s/s. Hope it was a great weekend!
Thanks for saving me some spots :D It was an awesome weekend, the first time we've been camping this summer that we weren't rained on!So, I also took a spot for handsome man on cover...finished that on the car ride home...so since I finished 2 books, I'm allowed to read for any open tasks (including the bonus tasks) or just the bonus tasks?

You Rock!!! Glad it was such a great sunny weekend!
Yep, you can read for any of the open tasks if you've completed 2 of the regulars! YAY!
I used to use Shelfari a lot to help me with how many parts or chapters a book has...now I've been trying to use google books, but not very consistent!Any recommendations on other sites to use?
I miss shelfari too! Maybe stalk s/s for ideas? I keep feeling like I'll come across one with 100 chapters... I tried looking on Amazon but that was a bust as most of the books are just samples.
Have you started Empire of Storms? I think there may have been parts..
Grr.. Only 2 parts and only 75 chapters.
I found a 3 part book, so I added it to spreadsheet...but can't find 100 chapters. Thought GoT would have at least 100 chapters, but most are around 78 chapters!
Hey girls, James Patterson books always have a lot of chapters, I'd say most of them have over 100 chapters, not sure if you're up for that, but that was what I was probably going to read if I needed to do that particular task :-)
Thanks Berit! I JUST found a 3 part book too but no luck on the 100 chapters so we'll have to check out Mr Patterson!
Life of Pi has 100 chapters. I could pick it up from the library tomorrow :)
Oh ya - that would be awesome Jessica!
I just reread and it says over 100 chapters...Grr....
Found one (and on my own bookshelf)!!! Cat's Cradle has 127 chapters!

Chris Carter always goes crazy with the chapters, and I remember one with 140+ chapters. I haven't actually opened the latest book yet and it's at home (and I'm at work) but I can check when I get home tonight. It should work.

Our second set of bonus tasks! :-)
We'll be able to request more once we have at least 3 labors fully completed - and we're well on the way already! Keep it up!
