Team Mauna Lua

[Keli]

I can also take 4. from an author who was NOT born in the USA, Canada or UK, I've had L'Étranger hanging around for a long time.

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

All done and spreadsheet updated.

for the next round i can do:

MPG crime
over 500 pages and
#3 in a series

[Plethora]

Next Round first tasks are :

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

[Keli]

I'll tentatively take 1. that is on the Foreign Lands list. I'm not the speediest reader but I have one of the books on that list, The Good Earth. As long as the countdown lasts a week I think I can get those three in time.

[Plethora]

No worries Keli, Carmen and I still haven't divided up the remaining.

I know she doesn't typically read older books, so I'll likely take the 1980's one and I was looking this morning through the long list of books on the Foreign Lands one.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Hey I don't mind taking a book in the 80s Hahahaha I'll take a look and see what is what. I don't really care whatever task is good 😀

I was thinking of reading that book. I own it for quite a few years. lol

Then you should. I've only just recently bought mine. Well, about a year or two ago. I will gladly use the time to read for another challenge. 😅 I'm a little bit behind on some.

That book was required reading in High School for me.

Is it good? It was on the list of books we could choose from in my junior year but I chose all gothic stuff. Guess my reading tastes were already taking hold. 🙄 I have to dedicate myself to classics otherwise I will never finish them.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I found a book that works for #9. I should be done in a few hours.

Plethora, it works for BARC challenge and easy yup. Hahaha 😉

Keli I totally understand and I'm good doing that task.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I finished my book for #9. I'm looking to see what else I can find for the other tasks.

[Plethora]

I'm doing Scandinavia, but it is 12 hours audio, so hoping I can concentrate on it some during spreadsheetsci need to update tomorrow at work.

[Plethora]

Well it was assigned reading in high school, so that tends to taint a book, but it seems like it wasn't too bad if I remember way back when.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I'm trying to see if Stephanie Plum will work for #7

Scratch that. I just realized she's not a detective.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Well I found a book that fits and it was as of course in my tbr. LOL

[Keli]

Dang, it ends tomorrow. This French is kicking my butt. I almost have Shady Lady finished. I'm glad I didn't go for 3!

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

Carmen and Plethora, can I help with any as I am done with my 3? which are you working on now?

[Plethora]

Yes. Of course. Carmen was on a day trip yesterday. Let me check with her and see where she is at with her books.

[Plethora]

The timer for countdown completion is here.

I've downloaded a new book by an Australian The Hating Game. I should have that and the rest of shady lady finished by tonight.

[Plethora]

OK so shady lady is the flowers on cover.

Carmen is taking Foreign Lands and I'm taking 1980's.

Sounds like we should all finish by tonight ahead of the time.

[Plethora]

We starting with zone 1 again?
Spell-out poison, 2 books must be boms or read by other teams

P
O
I
S
O
N

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I finished both of my books. Can someone link the one book for me please

[Keli]

I added your book and reason, Carmen.

I finished my two books. Finally, some decent reads, both 4 stars.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Thanks Keli. Glad you got some good ones to read 😁

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Do we have a list to work with? I can do one of the BOM book Recursion

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I can read a BOM - Recursion if we’re doing safe zone 1. I’m good with whatever

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Ugh I didn’t notice that my first post went out. Darn WiFi lol

[Plethora]

Do.ne. Free to read for safe zone now

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

Need to finished legendary for another challenge. Most likely tonight so I will have a look at books when I get home for safe zone 1

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

I do need to read practical magic for ptp so I wouldn’t mind taking P to start

[Keli]

I have added all the books read by other teams to our spreadsheet. I have the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society, which was read by Lavalicious Readers for #9. It has some S characters and an I.

[Keli]

I'll look at my books tomorrow to see what else works.
Carmen you mentioned Recursion which letter would that be for?

[Keli]

Also, for sz2 I have , which might work for option 3.

Should we consider our book limit when deciding on whether we go with sz1. I think we'll get more points if we go for it but that's only a guess. I haven't actually looked at the math.

[Keli]

One last thing, I have to read 20000 Leagues Under the Sea for another challenge was and this book was used by another team abd has a character that works for N and P

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Keli my book should work for S. Not sure what else since I’m still not home. Ugh I thought I would have left early but nope of course not 😡

Cool, then Guernsey can work for I and fit the book read by another team requirement.

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

I have good omens to read which will also fit BOM requirement and work for N

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Nikk the Sapphired Book Dragon wrote: "I have good omens to read which will also fit BOM requirement and work for N"

Oh that's great Nikk. I just finished a book which isn't from a team or BOM so maybe we can use it and you can cover it instead. What do you think? My book works for S so I added it to the spreadsheet but I can work on another if you don't want to do that one.

I figured we were going with sz1 so I added the book I finished for S since Nikk has a BOM she may be working on for N

[Keli]

I have to read 20,000 Leagues and Guernsey, both of which work but 20,000 only works for S snd N. I'll read it anyway and we can use it or not. I should have them done by tomorrow night or Monday morning.

[Keli]

My husband is away for a whole month, so I don't have to do anything but read and walk the dog. So I can get through way more books.

[Keli]

if we go to sz2 can I read for "Read a book with a skull or other poison logo on the cover and that contains the word POISON in the text" I checked ny book and it works.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

That’s great Keli. Free time reading,yay! 😁

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Keli I’m going to remove my book so we can use your book which covers a book from another team. I can cover a different letter 😁

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I found a book that works for O and a book that works for sz2 - 1

I know Plethora is working on a book that works for the other O

P - Nikk
O - Plethora
I - Carmen
S - Keli
O - Carmen
N - Nikk

If I have it incorrect let me know

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]
