Snarling Sabertooths
Ahhh. Okay makes sense.Can't we get rid of this card?
copied and pasted from the captains thread, makes more sense now.A #2 in series, with the word Wonderful in the title works (1~2). A #5 in series with the word For in the title works 4~5). Or a #3 in series with To or Too would work (2~3). Or a #9 with the word Hate (8~9).
The # only has to sound like a number, not actually be a number.
Mod
Thanks!
Haha! That's just weird. I got it until "hate"... now it's abstract. Lol!
Mod
I vote for discard, even though I understand it a little.
yeah dump, we need our series books for the weapon
Well I'm reading two books. One, I currently hate right now and the Bone Garden since I got it from my library.
My notifications are weird. Sometimes I get a notification and the person they show as making the most recent comment hasn't been on the thread for an hour or so...
Just now, your comment came thru as Abbie. Tamika was LaurLa!
yep yours was just LaurLa and your one before was Abbie lol
yep yours before was LaurLa and just now was Abbie lol
Mod
I only just got the notifications from the Read Thread a few minutes ago when LaurLa's and Abbie's books have been posted around 4 hours ago ;-)
I think the notifications are like six hours behind, or something close to that :-)
Oh my! That would explain the new creativity!
Ugh, didn't realize that we had 2 cards with the same task...I have nothing to offer for those :(

Ohhh, so the letters in the title must spell out a number?
Its making my brain hurt too much.
I vote to dump it too...makes my brain hurt also, Abbie!
Finished 2 more of my series books.
Abbie wrote: "Ohhh, so the letters in the title must spell out a number?"It's more like words sound like numbers.
When you say to or too they sound like 2
wonderful - first part of the word sounds like 1
mate/hate - sound like 8....
So when you read 'number' in title, that book should be +1 in series
Well I still haven't found anthing for the number in title + 1 in series...sorry ladies, I just spent the last hour looking.Hopfelly now that I stopped looking, maybe something will pop up...
I say skip them both, if we can...unless someone else finds a few that works.
ugh just looked at the ss, didn't realise we had 2 of the little buggers!!Lets bin them lol
Mod
It'll be another 12 1/2 hours before we'll get new cards, but for the speedies, there are still some series spots open for our weapon :-)
Mod
Then we can still always decide what to do with the other one in the next 12 hours.
Maybe someone has something they want to read. :-)
Mod
I finally found one that will work!!!!Now we just need two more...lol
I found one too Abbie!! But I only want to start if we have another book...
Everything Carries Me to You (to =2; 3rd in series)
I just finished a book we'll have to bank. I needed it for another challenge but it's not working for anything we have open right now :-( It's a standalone so not even good for weapons.
Mod
I'll just go discard it then. If we get it again, since we only seem to be getting repeats and doubles, we can still always try to work something out.
Otherwise, we might have something much better in 3 hours :-)
