K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Just checking in since I feel like I haven't been on much lately. RL has been a little busier lately but I'm thinking it should be closer to normal again tomorrow.

I'm still reading my 'takes place by an ocean' book but should be done with it this evening.
Whiskey Beach by Nora Roberts

Hope everyone is having a fabulous hump day!

I think we're all more or less slowly making our way through our books.
Work is busy these days, not leaving me a lot of time to read in between but I'm getting there ;-)

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments Thanks so much. I'm getting really nervous about making it to my son's wedding...it's on Oct 8. So hopefully this med will work.


message 5818: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Absolutely!! Do you have to travel far?

My stepdaughter got married in Oregon last June. Crazy times!!


message 5819: by Karen ♐ (new)

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments No, at least it's in the suburbs here. But still far enough away that we will be staying overnight for a couple nights.


message 5820: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Fingers crossed for those meds to work Karen!


message 5821: by Karen ♐ (new)

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments Thanks, K...The good news is I'm reading my Rules book and loving it...


message 5825: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Oh yay, ST! It think that means we might be ready for a new bonus!

I just got home and am heating up some dinner but then I will power up the laptop and get a new one out there!


So glad you are enjoying your book, Karen! It seemed we were on a "meh" streak so maybe you are breaking it. Lol!

BONUS LABOR 10


Athena, ever the champion of heroes, wishes to offer you a boon. But alas, nothing can be given for free. You must complete this task fit for the Goddess of Wisdom. Here's her caveat, it's tricky be warned: the first book must be from an author who has died

Read 5 linked books (i.e. Title Relay).


◈ Read 1st Book
◈ Read 2nd Book
◈ Read 3rd Book
◈ Read 4th Book
◈ Read 5th Book

Points: 60


message 5827: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Okay... surprise! it's another 5-Title Relay.....


message 5828: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Ugh, and dead author for the first book!


message 5829: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments I'm currently reading Dracula (dead author), but don't think that will yield a lot of connecting books ;)

Plus, I think this book is going to take me some time!


message 5830: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Yah.. unless there's another book from dracula... i'll look. i'm kind of over these relays... Although it was awesome having everyone link up their possible books on the title relay tab in the s/s -- LOVED THAT!!!! :D


message 5831: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments Finished GoT and I have no idea why it has taken me so long to read it!


message 5832: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments YAY!!!!!! That's great you enjoyed it! Now you're ready to take on the series!!! :)


I think that means we get another bonus... If I pull ANOTHER FLIPPIN TITLE RELAY, I am done submitting for new bonuses!!!! LOL!

BONUS LABOR 11


King Eurystheus accidentally tipped over his puzzle and it scattered everywhere. Of course he's blaming you. Help him piece it back together or you'll never hear the end of it.
Send a screenshot of the completed puzzle to the mod account.

Snowtulip | 4679 comments K, I don't want to mess with the relay boxes on the spreadsheet, to add another relay potential...since we're out of those lovely boxes you all made :D

The Postman Always Rings Twice

Born Wicked
Wicked Heart (Banked)
Heart Recaptured (V reading)


message 5835: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments That's an AWESOME LIST! I may just cut and paste to regular worksheet!


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments I'm having a really shitty day girls. My home got broken into and all our electronics got stolen except for tv's, a couple pieces of jewelry and managed to mess up some things. I'm really upset and feel thrown mentally.


message 5837: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments I think I've added as many as I can come up with on the spreadsheet.


message 5838: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments OH NOOOOOOO!!!!! That is a really shitty day! F*CK! What the hell?!!!


message 5839: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I just don't understand people....

I'm so angry. The only reason my kindle wasn't apart of the lot was because it was in my car.

It's such a violation.

Whoever did it deserves to have the worst sensation ever. I'm so mad to come up with something.


message 5841: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I was wondering if you had any idea who would do such a thing. I remember the feeling of having someone do something like that to you. That feeling came right back to me when you said it had happened to you. I'm sooooooo sorry T!!!

Did you have the police come out and take care of all that stuff...? I'm hoping most of it can be replaced, but I know that doesn't make it any better, especially right now.


message 5842: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments So sorry Tamika!!! That sucks, it's such a hard thing to go through :(


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Yeah the alarm people called as well as my neighbors called me. They robbed two other homes as well.

We have home insurance but it takes forever to get that money back. We told the police everything that was taken but my husband is refusing to purchase anything until we hear from the insurance company and police.

Thanks ST and K, it means a lot to me, but I'm just angered mostly.


message 5845: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments I'm Tamika I'm so sorry, what is it with people doing that it's so f*cking horrid!
There was a spate of it in our village, they were doing it in the evenings when people were in bed, my friend got broken into with her 2 small children upstairs asleep, they stole all of her stuff and then proceeded to get hers and her husbands car keys and steal both of their cars too!!
People like that should be bloody shot, it makes me so angry.

Sending big love and hugs your way Tamika xx

That SUCKS, Tamika!! Happy thoughts coming your way!

Also, Karen, sorry to hear you got sick again! Fingers crossed that those new meds will work and that they will work quickly!!

But on a good note, hooray for books finished and more bonus tasks!

Also, if nobody else wants to do it, I'll do the jigsaw puzzle - I enjoy doing those :-)

And done!

Sending a pm with the picture to the mod account in a few minutes and then I'll request a new bonus.


Nevermind....

BONUS LABOR 12

You’ve been walking for hours and the ground at your feet is beginning to look exactly like the swamp you just left. You keep walking and yes, you recognize that stump and that tree over there. Maybe it’s time to start bringing a map on these quests.

◈ Read a book that has a map in its pages

Points: 10

Doesn't look like there's a book with a map in the bank. At least not from what I can see on amazon's look inside.
