message 8: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 2131 comments I've PM'd the Mods with our new name.

Do we want to start claiming the countdown tasks?

I can start with the published in the 1950s book, unless anyone wants it. I thought it probably fit my reading easier than everyone else's.


message 9: by Katie (new)

Katie | 1634 comments Sure. I'm 100% good with you taking the 50's book. :P I'll take a look at what I've got coming up and report back here soon!

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 5684 comments I’m glad you can do that one Sarah, as it’s definitely not one I could do.

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 5684 comments I have one for carnivorous animal on the cover.

Lol! It's easy enough to find an Agatha Christie that fits. I'll leave the something hot on the cover to the rest of you though. ;)

Sarah | 2131 comments Looking ahead to the safezone, I assume we want to do group 2 as the points are high for those. I have options for red writing with lava in title and red cover with HOT author, but they are all longish books, so I only want to take one of those. Either is fine though, I don't mind which I read.

As long as we're ok with taking 3 ish days to finish that group, of course. For all my hunting I could only find 400+ page books.


message 17: by Katie (new)

Katie | 1634 comments Sorry guys, I ended up at the hospital last night. I'm going to try to get caught up with rules and what books I've got today.

I’ll have a look which I can do.

OMG, Katie! I hope you're ok.


message 22: by Katie (new)

Katie | 1634 comments I was having chest pains so I went to the ER. I ended up being admitted and got out this afternoon. Luckily I wasn't having a heart attack, but I have to go back for some tests later this week. I'm pretty exhausted today so I might take a look tomorrow. So, sorry about a late start for me. I'll do my best to get in on this as soon as I can! :)

I'm so glad you went to the ER Katie, chest pains aren't anything to mess with. Take it easy. The game will be here.

I have a book for something hot on cover with LAVA in the text.

I’ll see if I have anything for the other tasks for options.

Didn’t see this before. PM you email, if you want access.


message 30: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 2131 comments How shall we deal with the spreadsheet? Would it be easier if we all added our own books, so Danielle doesn't have to enter everything?

I'll PM you my email, Danielle.

Sassafrass (sass-a-frass) | 1142 comments I'm going to do Into the Hollow next for #6 in the series


message 36: by Sarah (last edited Aug 13, 2019 11:51AM) (new)

Sarah | 2131 comments I'm going to start a book for the trilogy task.

I found a shorter book for group 2 option i task - red writing and lava in title, so I'd like to do that one.

I don't think there's any point to doing the group 1 tasks - the points are the same as for the plain old spell outs in group 3, and they are harder tasks.


message 37: by ✿~Danielle~✿ (new)

✿~Danielle~✿ (dmh1) | 5684 comments Finished Task 4 - audio version has at least 4 narrators

Sounds good on both tasks and I agree about not doing group 1 tasks.


message 39: by Katie (new)

Katie | 1634 comments Finished Task 2. I'll start up The Mane Event for Task 7 now.

message 49: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 2131 comments Pushed through and finished task 3. The Marple reread was a joy but this one was a struggle. :(

I am paused for now until we are ready for the safe zone. Group 2 first, I assume? Ready to go when the time comes.
