Awesome!

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I'm going to start working on Accidental Abduction it should be quick and then I'll go to another task. I'll post which in a few

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I finished the first book for safe zone 2. Since we don't have to have too much of a nasty cover I'm going to do Kill Me Softly

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Oh before I start the next book do we still need to read a BOM or another teams book?

[Keli]

On the plane I plan on reading Friend-Zoned and Underneath It All orIt Ain't Me, Babe which will hopefully apply to sz3.

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

Nope my two sz1 books covered the bom/ other team read requirement so we should be good. We just need to make sure at least 2 team members complete sz2.

I have started some books which I need for other challenges which will work for sz3 but can hold of finishing them if I need to help with sz2. Is anyone yet yet reading for tasks 2 or 4 for sz2?

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I only finished one and I believe that's the 1st one. I think the nasty cover with lemon on title or in text is the 3rd. So 2 and 4 are open

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

okies I am gonna read for task 4 in safezone 2 most likely but seeing what other groups are reading before i start

[Plethora]

OK. So #2 is what I need to pickup today.

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

Finished and updated the spreadsheet.

These are books I have planned for the rest of the week ( or at least what I am currently reading) and the letters so far for safezone 3

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I finished my book so now we need to wait for Plethora and then we should be good to complete our books for spell-out but not sure if any of us posted a list of words yet. LOL I guess we can see what makes more sense but I'll take a look.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Ok so this is what we have to work with. We don't have much but maybe allowable, otherwise, author or one of these and a few small ones like eye, you

with a title that starts with
set in Canada
tagged MPG Sci-Fi
that is more than 50% black (use tin eye to confirm)
from the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die List. For this task, you can use books that would otherwise not be allowable for the challenge (e.g. due to wordcount or genre)
that has one of the 50 states of the USA in the title
that is more than 400 pages
that has the letters C-A-T in the title
written by an African American author
from the NPR List

[Plethora]

I'm finished.

I'm the morning ill look at points for a few of those longer words and what Nikk has put down for potential letters.

See if we can't formulate a game plan for the final books.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I'm currently working on

Call Her Mine by Melissa Foster
Letters: C,M,F,A,S,B,D,H

[Plethora]

OK. So we can't have more than 22 letters total for the week. ;)

So these look to be the high scoring:

Wordcount = 330
Otherwise = 300
Allowable = 290
Challenge = 280

[Plethora]

If we go with Wordcount this is what it looks like:

W - Bloodroot (C, R) [Plethora]
O - Kindred [Keli]
R - Freaky Reapers (C, D, N, T) [Nikk]
D - Frozen Stiff (C, R, W) [Plethora]
C - Call Her Mine [Carmen]
O - Out of the Shadows (T, N) [Nikk]
U - Underneath it All [Keli]
N - Touching Evil (T, R) [Nikk]
T - Friend-Zoned [Keli]

[Plethora]

I have two that I'll add to the above in a minute once I look up what the possibilities hold.

[Plethora]

Keli I added two of your books, looks like possible leaving It Ain't Me, Babe as unused.

I didn't know if you had an O in those books and didn't get time to search this morning.

Unless one of us comes up with an O that we can switch for a letter with the left over from Keli.

Although we can likely use the left over for a short word. Keli I didn't list out the alternate letters for yours above since I didn't have all the details of how they'd fit the word.

[Plethora]

Not bad for not planning a word before hand :)

Hopefully you didn't finish any of those books before last night Keli. If you did let us know since we won't be able to use them because I didn't complete the final book for zone 2 until late last night.

I can probably get in another few books, just don't have them planned yet.

[Keli]

Plethora I have Friend Zoned and can get in Underneath it All, and can get in Kindred by Octavia E. Butler for an O before Sunday.

[Plethora]

Thanks Keli.

So it looks like we can complete that word.

I can start a list later in week with any other books we've read and the possible letters to see what other word(s) we can complete.

[Keli]

Do you want me to enter Friend-Zoned onto the spreadsheet for T?

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I have a W in my book as well I didn’t get a chance to add my other books but will do once I can get home

[Plethora]

Keli wrote: "Do you want me to enter Friend-Zoned onto the spreadsheet for T?"

Yes we can enter on spreadsheet. I setup the basics on now. You just need to link book and put reason and date. I just hadn't started because ran out of time before work this morning.

[Plethora]

No biggie, we have first word done as far as mapping.

We can figure out next with books left and we enter closer to weekend.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I finished my book. I'll add it to the s/s now. I'm listening to Conspiracy in Death by J.D. Robb It could work for
Title: C

[Plethora]

I'll start a list for other books tomorrow that can be used to start trackimg for other word(s).

Will depend on what we have and how many more people think they can finish to what we strive for.

[Plethora]

Books pending for new word:

Conspiracy in Death - B, C, D, E, F, H, I, J, L, M, N, P, R, S, T, W

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I finished my book. Now I'm trying to figure out what's the next book/s. LOL

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I'm working on Seven Years by Dannika Dark - S,D,A,L,K,C

[Plethora]

We few a bunch of letters covered with the left over books so I should easily be able to find small word to complete.

If you finished other books good ahead and put name, date and letters it covers in the how it fits Spot on the spreadsheet and I'll use it to move things around

[Plethora]

Next Round first tasks are :

10. tagged MPG Crime
9. that has the letters A-R-S-E-N-I-C in the title ( in any order)
8. that was published in the 1980s
7. with a detective whose initials can be found in the word poison
6. set in Scandinavia
5. that is more than 500 pages
4. from an author who was NOT born in the USA, Canada or UK
3. that is #3 in a series
2. with one or more flowers on the cover Keli
1. that is on the Foreign Lands list

[Keli]

I won't get LotR finished in time. I read like 10 pages, realised that I wouldn't do be able to finish it before Monday, and stopped. I'm going to try to save it for another task. So it'll just be the three for sz3.

[Keli]

Can I claim 2. with one or more flowers on the cover, I have to read this for another challenge.

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

I am in the same boat with practical magic. I haven’t had a chance to start it yet as Miss 7 has been extra clingy ally day so I can’t see my starting and finishing in tome for the end of this round. I should be able to finish whisper of evil though

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]
