Ora (oeamis) I have just started listening to The Last Town. Before the prelude, there is a section About The Last Town. In the audio, it is a separate audio chapter with a radio transmission that is at the end of "About The Last Town" before the prelude. Am I right to have to use the first word of the transmission which starts begins "We are the last of our kind....

I looked at the ebook, and “He opens his eyes...” is the start of the actual story - the other is pre-story story stuff. We can check with Pixie though - task says text vs story.

Teddie (teddieg) | 1011 comments Had to share and say thanks Angie!
Over on the Panem challenge, I somehow missed the whole:

2) Reorganize the page count digits from highest to lowest. 109 becomes 910

thing until I saw your update.

Well, that will make things a tad easier - lolol :)


message 61: by Angie ☯ (new)

Angie ☯ | 990 comments Oh yeah, that makes it a lot easier!! Sorry, I didn't notice or I would have mentioned it to you! Glad you have it for your remaining tasks, though!

Annalisa | 1659 comments Would this cover work for a person on the cover head to toe?
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford
I put it in there but then I started wondering because of the umbrellas.


message 63: by Ora (new)

Ora (oeamis) I think with the umbrellas covering part of the persons I would say no.


message 64: by Annalisa (new)

Annalisa | 1659 comments That was what I thought too after I really looked at it. Looks like I’m moving it to HAT one.

Ora (oeamis) I am probably overthinking this, however would fated mates work for love at first sight?
Wild Hunger (The Phoenix Pack, #7) by Suzanne Wright


message 67: by Teddie (new)

Teddie (teddieg) | 1011 comments I would say yes - they have that “zing” when they first meet.


message 68: by Ora (new)

Ora (oeamis) That's what I was thinking too. As far as love at first sight books, I do prefer paranormal over other genres.


message 69: by Angie ☯ (new)

Angie ☯ | 990 comments I agree too on the love at first sight!

Would this work for person on cover (head to toe) - she is sitting but you can see her boots under the text/title....
Betrayal of Thieves (Legends of Dimmingwood, #2) by C. Greenwood


message 72: by Ora (new)

Ora (oeamis) I think so. It's dark where the title is. See what everyone else says.


message 73: by Annalisa (new)

Annalisa | 1659 comments Yes I think that works for a person head to toe.

Ora (oeamis) Sexy Woman?
Captured by Ella Goode


message 78: by Ora (new)

Ora (oeamis) What thread do we want to do next?

A2-A2b-A2bb the other stream Teddie suggested?


message 79: by Annalisa (new)

Annalisa | 1659 comments I don’t know that I have a real preference for one stream over another. Ora, I think since you read the most of any of us you should pick the stream you like best.


message 80: by Annalisa (new)

Annalisa | 1659 comments I think she could be considered a sexy woman.

Angie ☯ | 990 comments Ora wrote: "Sexy Woman?

Sexy is subjective - so I would say yes. :-)


message 82: by Angie ☯ (new)

Angie ☯ | 990 comments I'm good with any stream too. Ora, if you just want to choose the next ones as we finish up the current ones, that's good with me! I'd just say, go for the easiest ones first.


message 83: by Ora (last edited May 23, 2019 07:59AM) (new)

Ora (oeamis) I am fine with that stream. The tasks looks easy enough that we can quickly get through them.

Thanks Angie. I was looking for shorter books to get through the tasks faster.


message 84: by Angie ☯ (new)

Angie ☯ | 990 comments I am going to do shorter books too, as soon as I finish the last one I need for other challenges. Hopefully, we can know out several streams quickly.


message 85: by Angie ☯ (last edited May 23, 2019 08:16AM) (new)

Angie ☯ | 990 comments I'm moving my M book down to the page count since it has over 350 pages. I can pick up the M too, if no one else has anything, but I thought it'd be better to get the larger page count covered.

Oh - and anyone feel free to move my books around if something you are reading fits something I've marked - I have no problem at all with that!


message 86: by Annalisa (new)

Annalisa | 1659 comments I’ll read a few quick books this weekend. And I’ll find a few shorter audiobooks after I finish this one.


message 87: by Ora (new)

Ora (oeamis) I have a short audio I can listen to tomorrow if it's still opened tomorrow.

Annalisa | 1659 comments I added a book I’ll finish today to the new tab. I’m sure it fits some of the tasks with the word in the text, I’ll move it this evening if it does fit a harder task than the C.


message 95: by Ora (new)

Ora (oeamis) I found a series that have shorter audios that is available on audible romance package. I will be starting those after I finish my current Charley Davidson book. I should be able to get a couple of those done today, maybe three depending on RL.


message 96: by Ora (new)

Ora (oeamis) If you have a book you want to read for a task that I have claimed, just take it. I will look for books with harder tasks tonight.


message 97: by Teddie (last edited May 24, 2019 07:58AM) (new)

Teddie (teddieg) | 1011 comments I added a few books to the new stream, several of which I have to finish by the end of May - will be doing a lot of reading this long weekend :) It will be so nice to actually have time to read!

I added the options I know about, so feel free to move as needed.
