I'll take the task with a heart on the cover!

Anyone who can work from there?"So, I realised the Final Girls provably isn’t good to use as the fourth book would have to end in the word ‘Final’ which is not a normal word to end a total in. So, I’ve been going around and around trying to find a relay and have come up with these options. However, we would need to find some Newts who would be interested and able to read them. I’m obviously happy to read one of the books. If anybody has a replacement title that would work for one of these books that would be fine too.
Fire Country Country Heaven Heaven and Hell Hell Fire
I’m going to see if I can figure out another relay and will back with another option hopefully.
I haven’t been able to figure out another relay yet and I have to head to bed. I’ll pass the baton on to someone else who may be able to find another relay. Obviously if the above one works for the team, then that’s fine too :)
Thanks @Emma. I could read either Heaven and Hell or Country Heaven if there are others that want to read this relay.

I could read Fire Country, but if they have to be read in order I can't start it right now. Need to finish something first.But if order is necessary and Fire Country could be put at the end of the other 3, I'm game.
I have a few Y’s I’ll be reading tomorrow.

I think that’s the relay accounted for:
Sandy - Country Heaven
Emma - Heaven and Hell
Danielle - Hell Fire (alternative option)
Linda - Fire Country
I finished a book for snake on cover.
I'm new here, but willing to do the task with death in the title

Sounds good. Do we need to read in order, ie where one finishes before the next starts? or do we all just read our book?
Emma (M) wrote: "SandyL wrote: "Thanks @Emma. I could read either Heaven and Hell or Country Heaven if there are others that want to read this relay."Sandy, I can read Heaven and Hell, if you can do Country Heave..."
Sounds great Emma - thanks for putting this together!
Charlotte wrote: "I'm new here, but willing to do the task with death in the title"Hi Charlotte. Thanks so much for the offer - this challenge has been going on for several months and teams were assigned by the mods. It's almost over and I don't think they are adding more players - sorry!!
Claire wrote: "I can read for water on the cover"Hey Claire - that task has been completed. We still need someone swimming on the cover if you're able to do that one?

"Thanks Heli!

We don't have to read them in order
Claiming riddle in the text and "Spider" in the title
Sandy do you think my water book counts for the swimming task? I couldn't tell so put it for water. If it works for swimming then Claire could do the water task?
Laura wrote: "Sandy do you think my water book counts for the swimming task? I couldn't tell so put it for water. If it works for swimming then Claire could do the water task?"Yes! Sorry I missed this!
@Claire - if you still want to read "water on the cover" it's available.

No problem. Still have more if needed.
These two tasks finished, plus cauldron on cover.
Ok, will read for it and try to update books read asap. I read for the U allready.
In case we still need a book with Death in the title, I can read this
Finished a book for wand on cover.
For the tasks I think there’s only Maze title/series and something broken on cover unclaimed?I don’t know if I have anything for maze task, but I’ll see if I have anything for the something broken task.
I found something for the maze task ... I've got a couple of other books ahead of it. Also, @Danielle, on the spreadsheet your name is next to the halloween book - I'm not sure if that's a mistake or if you are reading something?
We are doing amazing team!!!!
Yep, I’m reading a Halloween.

2018 Ford Fiesta. My car had been out of commission since March and I was rolling around in a family members car which was stressing me out.

When you make your completion post, if you can put any tasks your book fits, that helps in case I need to move things around. And since we're getting down to the wire, if you claim a task but it looks like you can't finish, please speak up as early as possible.
