Thanks ST!

And yes, what Tamika said - K posted about that yesterday.

We also get a 6th bonus for completing all 12 labours!! (I'm going to go get us that one now.)

Along with the time extension, we also have the possibility to choose another 3 of the bonus options we were offered. I think we still have at least one over from the first set of 3, but it's good to know we can use another "re-get bonus" just in case ;-)

I love my bed...oh, I am so happy to see it. The airbnb we used had a horrible mattress!

I'll hit the spreadsheet next and see what else I can grab, since I need a kindle book (the Copper book is audio).

BONUS LABOR 39


Hermes has informed Bookules that Fantasy is having trouble locating one of its most popular editions. We need to hurry as the weatherman has indicated a Storm Front on the horizon, our trusty sidekick is refusing to assist us, and the pizza place down the corner is inexplicably out of Toot's favorite.

◈ Read a book with a main character who is a wizard
◈ Read a book with a main character who is a police officer
◈ Read a book with a Fae character
◈ Read a book with a unusual sidekick
◈ Read a book with a main character who is a private detective

Points: 55

Police offer and private detective should be in the bank with all the crime novels we currently have banked, but I'm not sure which ones fit, so I'll need your input.

Do we have an unusual sidekick by any chance?


message 6313: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments If there isn't a fae book in the banked books, I can grab it since I jjust got my library hold for Grave Dance yesterday :)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Helloooo! Back from morning and afternoon lacrosse game festivities and need to get on the s/s. Finished 'You Sent Me a Letter' (crazy quick bumpy ride) this morning and now am reading 'Daughter of the Blood'..

Not sure what I think of it yet... slow and confusing so far.

I'm excited to see new tasks!

I couldn't tell on the phone app if Abbie's book was misty or grainy. I think it was mist... I'll look at it on the computer though here soon!

Hm, K, is Lena Adams a police detective or a private detective? The synopsis isn't clear in that.


message 6318: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Good question! I believe police detective now that you ask but I'm going to check to be sure.

◈ Plan the Trip - Read a book with over 100 chapters.
◈ Find a Place to Shower - Read a book where someone showers.

message 6335: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5105 comments did you use 600 Hours of Edward for anything K?
If not that could be used as an inspirational book.


message 6336: by Snowtulip (last edited Oct 02, 2016 03:27PM) (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments I was, but if you want it no problem, I also have an inspirational book I could read (tagged inspirational once) instead :)

Nope - I don't see that it's been used yet! Perfect!

ST - Go ahead on Fae. I didn't have one but was updating the s/s and didn't think it was marked but I just wasn't looking at the right spot.


message 6340: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments V - What's the supporting blurb to use for 600 being inspirational?

On the computer it look more like mist and less like grainy because of the headlights being on and the funny glares from the lights.

They sooooooo are! I read Lost Girls (D.I. Kim Stone, #3) by Angela Marsons for the last one so am going to check out her next book in the series... *fingers crossed*


message 6343: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5105 comments been tagged twice as inspirational would that work?


message 6344: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Sure!

I don't know that V can look at it very well on her fake phone so it sounded like E and I were ok to use it.
