[Jammin Jenny]

Thanks Danielle!

[Jammin Jenny]

Sonia and Louise, when you guys are done we can send the skips to whatever team we choose, and then I guess we check in?

[Sonia]

Yep, that's the plan.

[Louise]

I’ll be a few days with my book.

[Louise]

Finished my book and updated s/sheet

[Sonia]

Dang I forgot to update the ss... On my way

[Sonia]

Done. Only thing left to do is invite the lions and check in. I'm on my phone. But I can do it in the morning if nobody else beats me to it?

[Jammin Jenny]

Go for it Sonia!

[Sonia]

All done!

Waiting on the mods for next episode.

[Jammin Jenny]

Awesome! I hope it's a good show!!

[Sonia]

Crepes of Wrath is also waiting... maybe Abby and Kathy are both busy?

It happens sometimes.

I guess we could check on a team that is ahead of us, and start working on those tasks?

[Jammin Jenny]

I'll do that after I get through my notifications.

[Louise]

I sent a friend request to the mod account, Kathy replied with a friend request. I'll drop her a line.

[Never Ending]

1. All teams are waving at the departing boats as they stand on a deserted island. There is a pile of supplies which EACH team member must chose ONE for the survival of their team. Each member must chose one item to read that is different from what any other member in their team chose:
Item 1. Read a book about food.
Item 2. Read a book with a map.
Item 3. Read a book where someone fishes.
Item 4. Read a book where someone uses tools.

2. Each member is allowed to bring a personal item from home. Read a book about an item that YOU would take with you to a deserted island.

3. Teams must now find a location and build a shelter. This involves a Scavenger Hunt.
Read books which include the following words. They may be on the cover or mentioned in the book:
Beach
Cave
Mountain
River or Stream
Forest
House
Campfire
Storage container
Bench or Chair
Bed

4. Now that the Team's neccessities are met, it is time to get to know your team members better. Have a teammate chose a book for you to read from your TBR list. This must be completed by each team member.

5. Of course, being on a deserted island, weather is always a problem. Read a book with a weather element in the title.

6. Time to explore your island. Read books about EACH of the following finds:
A book with a fruit or vegetable in the title or on the cover.
A book with an animal in the title or on the cover.
A book set mostly or entirely outdoors.
A book with a gem, mineral, or rock in the title.
A book where someone finds treasure.

7. You come across a competing team's campsite. The camp is empty. Time for hijinks! The raided team must redo #2 or #5 above.

8. Due to boredom, things get a little crazy. Read a book involving a crime or a heist.

9. Campfire. Ever laugh, when someone pulls out a worn acoustic guitar and starts to sing. Well, guess what, you find yourself singing along. Each team member must chose a song and read a book which reminds you of the song. Song choices are:
Our House – Crosby, Still, Nash & Young
Ain't No Sunshine – Bill Withers
Blowin' in the Wind – Bob Dylan
Center Field – John Fogerty
Hotel California – Eagles
Leaving on a Jet Plane – Peter, Paul & Mary
Rocketman – Elton John
Sitting on the Dock of the Bay – Otis Redding
Harvest Moon – Neil Young
Everybody Wants to Rule the World - Tears for Fears

10. No campfire is complete without scary stories. Read books about the following urban legends.
Choices are:
*Ghost train or ship or car or any mode of transportation.
Read a book that has a mode of transportation on the cover or better yet read a haunted mode of transportation. Either works.
*Demon dogs.
Read a book with a dog on the cover. You can also read a book with a legend/myth about a demon dog or an omen of death.
*White or Grey Lady.
Read a book with a white or grey dress on the cover. Or where the main character is looking for a missing person.
*Crying Baby on a Bridge.
Read a book with a bridge on the cover. Or read a book where the main character is handling children.
*Vanishing Hitchhiker.
Read a book where the main character can see or interact with ghosts. Or read a book about traveling on a deserted road or that involves hitchhiking. You can also read a book where someone just vanishes without explanation.
*Alligators in the Sewers.
Read a book where someone has an unusual pet. Or that has an alligator in the story or on the cover or title.
*Big Foot.
Read a book with a fury creature that supposedly doesn’t exist (a sasquatch, a werewolf or another type of shapeshifter). Or read a book set in Alaska or Canada.
*The Clown.
Read a book with a clown or circus on cover or in the title. Or read a book about a clown or is set in a circus, carnival or amusement park.
*Bloody Mary.
A popular dare game. Read a book where the main character is challenged to a dare or does something really stupid. Or read a book with the main character or author is named Mary. Or read a book that has a Mirror on the cover or title. Since Bloody Mary is also a cocktail name. Another choice would be to read a book where the main character works in a bar or night club.

This Challenge is Complete.

I updated our spreadsheet to include these tasks...

[Sophie]

Hi, I've read a book for one of you for task 9.

This One Sky Day goes with Ain't no sunshine when she's gone as one of the main characters is upset following the death of his wife

[Jammin Jenny]

Thanks Sophie!

[Jammin Jenny]

Louise and Sonia, do you each have a specific TBR shelf we should pick from for Task 4?

Jammin Jenny picks for Louise
Louise picks for Sonia
Sonia picks for Jammin Jenny (use my aaa-up-next shelf)

[Jammin Jenny]

I raided War & Peas and asked them to do #2 or #5 again.

[Louise]

I’ll update the spreadsheet later today

[Jammin Jenny]

Louise, i am picking for you , I find this series a relaxing romp in Botswana and a good escape from the everyday life.

[Jammin Jenny]

Eldarwen from War & Peas said they'd do #2 again for us. We still have to do it, but we can use theirs for Task 7.

[Sonia]

i have a shelf of books I want to read but need a push... so... Louise, can you pick from here, please?

Ohhhh there are Ilona Andrews on that list... what to choose, what to choose....

Uhmmm, let's go with . I loved Nevada and I simple adore Catalina's, so you need to start somewhere, right?

[Jammin Jenny]

Sounds good to me! Thanks Sonia. I love Ilona Andrews too but just haven't started this series yet.

Been needing an excuse to continue this series

Going to give you two options or
I really enjoyed both.

[Sonia]

Thanks Louise! Those two have been on my radar for ages now!

I've never read but I loved

[Sonia]

I'm trying to read my Jack the Ripper book for over a month now. I might need to change the format, since I was always getting lost in the task at hand and missing important stuff from the audio - that rarely happens, but maybe it's the type of the book.

I also decided not to start a new one till this one is finished, so, I need to find me some free time during the weekend to dedicate to it. So I can be more active on this challenge.

:D

[Jammin Jenny]

Good luck!

[Sonia]

Thanks Jenny.

I'm with so much stuff on my plate that... I manage to accomplish nothing....

Oh well... baby steps.

[Jammin Jenny]

I feel like that too sometimes Sonia...

[Sonia]

So, I have been reading like a maniac... just not jack the reaper or caraval.

Darn mood reads...

Okay... looking into the spreadsheet to see what I can use.

[Jammin Jenny]

What team do we want to raid for them to complete task #2 or #5 again?

[Sonia]

I thought we had one already?

[Sonia]

Jammin Jenny wrote: "Eldarwen from War & Peas said they'd do #2 again for us. We still have to do it, but we can use theirs for Task 7."

Yeah, you raided war and peas. ha! I am not that crazy, yet!

[Jammin Jenny]

Okay, I'm just that forgetful! I posted an update message in their thread.

How are you guys doing? Happy Easter!

[Sonia]

Hey Jenny! Happy easter!

I need to get back to this... got sidetracked... so so sorry. Once in a while I get sucked into a reading vortex and forget the world. It's usually only a couple of weeks though, not months.

[Sonia]

A bottle can be used as a storage container, right? I read a book with one on the cover.

[Louise]

Happy Easter both. I’ll do an update today 😀
