Hey! You are no longer alone! I'm reading Ruin and Rising which has a character with white hair.

I am starting it today too, and as it fulfils 2 prompts, we got them down!


message 54: by [deleted user] (new)

Yeah! We can suffer through it together!

Are you starting it today too?

Great!
And Ayesha, I asked Aarja, blood and honey counts as blood on the cover! So, we have that prompt down too!

And I have good news! To kill off one of the ghosts, we need to find just one more book that "features a baby". Rest, when I finish ruin and rising, and Ayesha finishes blood and honey, it will be cut off!
Any books that have babies? :D

Here's the number of pages I read in these two days :-

100 pages of An Abundance of Katherines

120 pages of The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

There's the word cloak mentioned in The Hobbit which is our prompt too. I guess I have to comment that in review thread after I finished the book. Also, I am going to read Such a Fun Age this month which features a baby ( another prompt ) so should I mark that part in the spreadsheet??

Okay, also I love the The Babysitters Club, and yes, it counts! Though the graphic novel might deduct points...

Also, I checked the SS, and I love the way you have organized it! I did make some changes, and let me know if they are visible :)

No, but something about how you feel about what you read :)

Hey all! Some updates on our prompts.

Ghost 1
We are left with 3 prompts, all of which are already planned! Once I finish sun sister, Ayesha finishes blood and honey and Libby finishes ruin and rising, our first ghost is done! :)
Ghost 2 has one prompt that is troubling me, read a book with the word "brooche". Now if one of you finds such a book, oh you're my hero! But if not, then I believe we shouldn't waste our books there. Instead try to find alternatives in the other ghosts. If the only place where a prompt fits is ghost 2, oh well, let's hope someone saves us and finds the word brooche in their book!
Ghost 3
We have 4 planned prompts, I am taking one, Ayesha has the other 3. Please see if you can find any ones that fit your books asap.

But we're doing so great!!

2 ghosts will give us 40 points right?? I hope that's good enough.
:D

Ayesha (ay_es_ha) | 345 comments Mod
Do we get to kill the ghost from another team after we killed a ghost of ours or do we have to kill all our ghosts in order to hunt others'??


message 78: by aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D (new)

aarja (aarjak) | 1885 comments Mod
After you kill just 1 ghost, you will get one more.


message 79: by Ayesha (new)

Ayesha (ay_es_ha) | 345 comments Mod
That's great then. Cause we have almost killed 2 ghosts. I mean, we eventually will!!

Aahana | 1006 comments Mod
Yes! I have finished Sun Sister, so now you (Ayesha) need to read Blood and Honey and Libby needs to read Ruin and Rising. Then we're done with Ghost 1! :)


message 81: by Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :) (new)

Aahana | 1006 comments Mod
And Ghost 3 is fully planned, we need just one more prompt to be planned, which is read a book which features a screaming character.
Please tell me someone has a book like that!


message 82: by aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D (new)

aarja (aarjak) | 1885 comments Mod
Basically, a character who screams commonly.


message 83: by Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :) (new)

Aahana | 1006 comments Mod
Ayesha saved us (again). We have both ghost 1 and 3 all planned out now!
Aj, is it possible for you to give us the other ghosts too? So we can start planning those too, as we are leaving out Ghost 2 for now.


message 84: by aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D (new)

aarja (aarjak) | 1885 comments Mod
No..first post all for ghost 1 otherwise it wouldn't be fair :)


message 85: by aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D (new)

aarja (aarjak) | 1885 comments Mod
And also, your ghost 4 would be credited if you complete your original ghosts first.

message 89: by aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D (new)

aarja (aarjak) | 1885 comments Mod
Oh, this is not stupid at all! It's basically Currently Reading. I didn't get space to write it fully, so I used the short form :)

I mean, first, complete your original ghosts (ghost 1,2,3), and then only ghost 4 and the other ghosts would be counted.


message 91: by Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :) (new)

Aahana | 1006 comments Mod
Wait so we have to complete all the ghosts first to get the next ghosts?!


message 92: by aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D (new)

aarja (aarjak) | 1885 comments Mod
No..you will get the next ghosts but they won't count.


message 93: by Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :) (new)

Aahana | 1006 comments Mod
Oh c'mon! How are we supposed to fulfil the prompts of Ghost 2? Kind granny, and brooche?!


message 94: by aarja, Founder & Groovy Thinker :D (new)

aarja (aarjak) | 1885 comments Mod
Okay, the ghosts would count. But I'll give you hints. Kind granny, basically a side character who is a granny and kind. Get it? ;)
Also, for brooch, basically, maybe a book from the olden times who specifies what she/he wears, and a brooch is a part of it. Or maybe even a brooch on the cover.


message 95: by Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :) (new)

Aahana | 1006 comments Mod
Yeah that didn't help at all :D
But thanks for changing :)

Feyre✧・゚: (illyrianfemale) | 22 comments One other question - I looked at the spreadsheet but I can't figure out how to find the unanswered prompts - how do I find those?


message 98: by Aahana, aka Aelin Whitethorn :) (new)

Aahana | 1006 comments Mod
At the bottom of the ss when you open the link, there are 4 sections, called info, ghost 1, 2 and 3. Ghost 1 and 3 are fully done, you can check out the 2nd one and see if your books match those prompts!
