Snarling Sabertooths
Anyone up for a puzzle? I'm scrambling around getting ready for work so probably won't get a chance to work it until a bit later.. :(Any dragon books, ST???
I can get Chunkster....I am almost done with a 800 pager
I am at work...sorry, can't do the puzzle.
Has anyone read Garden Spells? I read it a few years back, super good...and super short if someone wants to check it out.It's by Sarah Addison Allen
Mod
OK - I'm going in late to work! LOL! I read it and concur!! I also have a book with an apple on the cover but need to look for it.. forget what it's called.
Mod
I just saw your post! I ended up doing the puzzle because I didn't think anyone was around and I decided it was worth being late to work for.. LOL!Just sent to moderators
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.
◈ Aphrodite : Read a book that is a sweet romance (no erotica or BDSM tags)
◈ Hephaestus : Read a book where the MC crafts for a living
◈ Demeter : Read a book tagged nature at least 10 times
◈ Hermes : Read a book where the main character is a thief
Points: 40
Dragon books would be awesome E! I think ST is the only other person I think who reads dragons...

Ok cool! I started and since it's a good distraction - I'm not exactly bored but I don't want to sit at work - I'll finish it just for the sake of it.
I get that! I'm sooooo late to get to work now so am going to jump off and check in later. I just updated the s/s with the new tasks.
I'll look for the apple book too if no one has one by then!
Mod
At least my priorities are in order!
ok...I think Nature is on me...since I am pretty much the non fiction reader...let me see what I can find.
PS - I'm about half way through my 782 book "Breaking Jade". I can finish that one for our 700+ book
K-Terror and I can race for the big book spit...mine should 'done today.Y'all want to place your best now?
I'll be finished with The Crown's Game today. In the book there are 2 enchanters that "craft" new islands, ball gowns, snow, bridges, meals etc. in order to gain favor with the Russian Tsar. Do you think that will work for Hephaestus (bonus labor 23)?And yes, they do this for a living: The favor that they are trying to gain from the Tsar is winning a "game" where the victor will become Imperial Enchanter while the loser is sentenced to death
Mod
Also, for that bet - what do we get if we win??
Mod
Thank you! :-)
Doesn't necessarily have to be non fiction but I'm a bit stumped right now as to what could possibly have a "nature" tag in the books we seem to usually have on our shelves.

Then my money is on you! Mines on kindle so I'm listening to the apple book at work..
What book are you reading? Another GoT?
You will receive a surprise in your inbox from the person You supported....and maybe an irritate message from the one you did not....
Sort of...Rogue, it's by multiple Authors, but George RR Martin does have a story in it.
A Dark and Lonely place works for thief...they were bank robbers after all. I think it was still in the banked books last I checked.

Glad you are liking your book, V!! How is Beneath the Lies? I read the first one in that series but haven't read any since then...BTW - anyone interested in dragon books, I found this DRAGON LISTOPIA with over 1,000 books on it...
it's good so far, I didn't realise it was #5 though lol
So I assume all leftover banked books we can use in the last challenge? I'm about to finish my book Lies Beneath and I don't know if I'll have time to finish another book by friday so I don't really know what to start next...
Mod
And yes, Alex, all left-over banked books, including the ones we had left over from before, can be used in the last event.
As for what to start.... unless there's something you really really really want to read, throw them all on a pile, take a dice, roll and read the book you rolled.
Of course, if you want to do it in a more complicated way, make several piles and use a few dice ;-)

Haha Sounds about how I make all my life decisions anyways!
Wow I didn't realize it ends on sunday this time! *Wonders if I can finish a book by then*
*Goes to find some dice*
I haven't been able to check in to GR between waking up and going to work...so I keep missing a whole new slew of tasks by the time I get home from work each day :)

I'm still reading Thirteen Tales. Hope to finish by tomorrow or Thurs at the latest.
Mod
EDA: that was meant for ST's dragon book, btw, since that wasn't very clear.
Finished Apple book
I happened to read a book that has a book on it for back up. It was one of my KU that I was reading to return (to get more books of course..) :)
Mod
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.

Abbie - did you find a book tagged as nature? If not, I have:
tagged as nature 188 times :)
Mod
Send a picture to K-Terror who will continue it to the mod account for proof.
(Not sure V can do it with her phone troubles at the moment.)
Thanks! :-)
Just finished the puzzle and getting ready to send it in. New bonus coming up!

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 the first in a series
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
We have 2 banked books that are first in series if anyone can think of books we can use to build off of them:1. Wicked Fall
2. Against the Odds
