Such a busy weekend! Haven't had a chance to catch up on the thread, but I finished both the books I was working on - dreams book yesterday and echoes book today. I can't get to my desktop to add it to the SS, but finishing those should give us another bonus :)
I think I have road trip covered - I'm reading (or trying to, Wobble getting in the way :-p) The Wind in the Willows and I just got to a part where one of the characters is trying to convince the others to go on a road trip, and I think that might be what they're going to do.

Hooray for finishing both books this weekend!! :-)
I added them to the spreadsheet and since we had that temporary extra bonus, which has now been completed, I am not going to request a new one.

You might want to delete this. So other teams can't 'borrow' your answer :P
Sorry if this was asked and I missed it, for bonus 38 - Find the birds: Read a book with birds on the cover - since the work "birds" is plural, does the cover need to contain more than one bird? If not, then I can do

Oh yay! We're making some progress on that bonus. ST, Jessica and I are reading the last 3 for that one!

BONUS LABOR 43
That last task was a close call for you. King Eurystheus is pleased that his scheme almost worked. Now he has another task for you, and by all accounts this one will be the most difficult so far! You are tasked to capture the fearsome Erymanthian Boar and bring it back to Eurystheus alive.
◈ Travel to the mountain: Read a giant book (600+ pages)
◈ Find the boar: Read a book with a large animal on the cover, or a book with giant ratings (over 50,000 ratings)
◈ Drive the the Erymanthian Boar into the snow: Read a book set in winter or with snow on the cover
◈ Bring the boar back to Eurystheus: Read a book in which the main character is scared or afraid
Points: 40

I'm going to try and step up my reading a little bit to finish that other magic task so we can get a new bonus. I've been slacking quite a bit over the weekend but just wasn't up to much reading.
Hey everyone! I'm back!! And ready to read!! I've sort of caught up on the thread... enough to realize they extended Labors??!!??!! Not sure that's a good thing, but it involves reading, so who can complain too much?I'll take a look at the spreadsheet and see what I can claim :-)

Lot's of stormy skies, but no lightning in my immediate TBR... I can double check tonight in calibre to see if there's anything.
Completed Cinder for bonus #39I am going to switch my bird book on bonus #38 to
My loan on the other book ran out and it was already on hold by someone else. But, I have been itching to buy Crooked Kingdom - this just gave me the perfect excuse ;)
