Spontaneously, I can't think of something to go with either of those books. I'll have a better look later or tomorrow, but now I've gotta run.

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments just checked and Sugar Bowl is actually called Sugar Rush if that helps lol

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..)..."


Go for it, K. I'm afraid I won't make it before the cutoff. (Book with a book on it)


message 6058: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments OK - Thanks Karen!

How are you enjoying that one? I have it on my TBR but wasn't sure how it would be...

BONUS LABOR 26


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 contain, in either title or series name, any of the following words: Wisdom, Law, Justice

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

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Title relays are on my nerves


message 6061: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Does anyone have a good linking book they'd like to contribute with either: Wisdom, Law, Justice (in title OR series name)


message 6062: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments can we use a bonus to chuck in any title for that one?


message 6063: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13755 comments Mod
If you want to read a quick, somewhat crappy book, read the kindle freebie Justice Calling (The Twenty-Sided Sorceress, #1) by Annie Bellet .

Not sure that'll help with the line-up but it might be an idea if we have nothing else.
Be warned though, it isn't the best book. But at least it's short.


message 6064: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Ya like chuck it for a new bonus!


message 6065: by Ghost in the Stacks (last edited Sep 28, 2016 01:23PM) (new)

Ghost in the Stacks Reaper's Justice, I can do this one, its a #1, if anyone has anything that starts with Justice

Yup, that's what I was thinking, chuck it for a new bonus rather than inserting a free book. Because if we get yet another bloody title relay, we can still always use the free book bonus for that one.

If all else fails.


message 6067: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13755 comments Mod
But before we decide, maybe let a few more people weigh in.

I'll be ok with whatever, as long as we can get a move on with the relays, one way or another.

Eldarwen | 13755 comments Mod
To refresh your memories, these are the bonus options we have available:

1. Free book - Lets you insert a "free book" into any spot in a bonus challenge
2. Re-get Bonus - Lets you remove one of your current bonuses and get a new one
3. Add a Bonus - Temporarily lets you add one bonus to your list
4. Title Twist - Rearrange the words in a title to fit into a title chain
5. Ignore an Article - Allows you to ignore A, An, or The in a title when linking it to a chain
6. Ignore the Caveat - Lets you ignore the requirement for the first book in a title chain
7. Rearrange Page Numbers - Allows you to rearrange the page numbers of one book


Each team has the right to use 3 of these.


message 6069: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments I say Re-get Bonus is the best bet. Title relays are getting a little old...


message 6070: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments I vote 2 and prey we don't get another relay

It's okay. But I'm having a hard time really getting into it and knew I'd have a problem finishing it in time.


message 6072: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks sure rebonus


message 6073: by Karen ♐ (new)

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments I could read Justice Healed (Cowboy Justice Association, #2) by Olivia Jaymes to follow Abbie's book but I'm not sure how that would work out for the next book.


message 6074: by Karen ♐ (new)

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments Maybe Re-Get bonus is the way to go...


message 6075: by VNerdbooks (new)

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.
