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.

Anyone awake and around who wants to do it? Otherwise I'll take care of it.
Go for it E!I'm supposed to be sleeping but my dog is snoring too loud. Hoping to be asleep again soon. Just found a nice little bedtime story about night terrors so claimed that spot while up.
I should have both of mine done tomorrow. (Today)
Mod
Hope you'll get some sleep soon though! Good thing you found a terror book!
Alright, I'm going in! Keep your fingers crossed for a good bonus! Puzzle looks quick :-)

King Eurystheus applauds your bravery, but he now has a task that is sure to challenge your strength.
You must travel to the swamp, brave poisonous fumes, and slay the Lernaean Hydra.

◈ Concentrate your efforts: Two players read the same book (Book 1)
◈ Concentrate your efforts: Two players read the same book (Book 2)

Long series is covered by Abbie's The Sinner - 11 published books so far in the Rizzoli & Isles series, with #12 expected for 2017.
The Good Goodbye is banked with over 500 pages
Mod
Abbie has a banked book that's on my TBR - Head full of Ghosts. Unless someone else has something bc I have my current two I'm working on before I can get to it.
And she also has The Couple Next Door that's also on my must read now list!
Mod
Ah but that was banked before Labours started, so cannot be used for this.
Head full of Ghost is after though.
Reaper's Fire in the banked books has fire on the cover.
Ok - I can read Head Full of Ghosts. Thanks to snoring dog, I'm almost done with soldier book.

Oh gosh, that would've been the obvious one... and I didn't even look lol.
I checked those covers so many times for other things...
We are all going to read Body Double anyways...how about the first two to finish, we can log them as the other same book?
Mod
There are twelve labors and twelve major gods and goddesses from the Greek mythology, you need to gain favor of some of the gods.
◈ Zeus : Read a book with lightning on the cover
◈ Hera : Read a book where the MC is a married woman
◈ Poseidon : Read a book set by the ocean
◈ Hades : Read a book having to do with death/grieving (or tagged death at least 10 times)

King Eurystheus has another task for you, but he can’t focus with so many important things on his mind. Before he gives you another task, he has one burning question:
“Why IS a raven like a writing desk?”
You scratch your head, hemming and hawing. Finally you decide to ask someone wiser than you.
◈ Read a book with characters who are known for their intelligence.
