I have to withdraw Moon Called
. She has her head on and J`mom said a torso may not have a head.Later tonight, I'll take more of a look. I have to concentrate on working today.
i have
which is on Anne (Booklady's) TBR list that would fit clubbing
I'm not sure about torso either. I have a book that shows neck to feet I think.For hobbies, I could do series, new author or someone elses tbr. I need to check in more detail for geek or crafts.
For body parts I can do any, but have a ton of torsos.Location is harder for me, but I can easily do outer space
Hobby is a category in which I should be able to find a book for any type
And if anyone wants to look for books they'd like to read on my TBR, it is quite large: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
Sorry, can't edit, but I wrote before I could do all locations, but I would have to check to be sure of Africa and South America, especially if I go for short books so I can try to read two.
Does anyone have a book for Crafting or Role Play Games?
I'm planning to choose from these:Torso:
or
or
or
Spaceship/planet:
or
Gun hobby:
Geek/gamer:
or

Crafting is a common theme in cozy mysteries. I could probably find something.

think neck is okay.

Let me finish my coffee and I'll start a spreadsheet for us. I also have to remember my goodreads associated account... I'll add editing permissions as well so there are a few of us who can add/edit while I sleep. Makes me sound like a vampire...

I'll put you down as a possibility for it at the moment. We'll see how we're looking. Always good to know what we have.

I'd say the UK is an island. But you're preaching to the choir on that one ;)

I've put me down as possibilities in Eyes, head, all locations (South America have to check), gamer.I can do everything in hobbies besides craft (not to my knowledge anyway).
Have a look anyway.

I had to scratch my torso pick, besides Lara has that covered. I originally talked about The Martian for SciFi, but that was before we learned about points. I could read it for "where does your date live - alien planet", since it's set on Mars.
You can put me down for legs and/or shoes. :)
I also have possibilities for "eyes" and "island".
The link doesn't work for me Rusalka. I get the message that it doesn't exist.
I have a possibility for 'read a book where a main character has a job that you would like your date to have':Jackaby
The main character is a detective of the paranormal which sounds creepy but cool. It would make for some interesting dates that's for sure!
I wasn't able to get back here yesterday and I see so much has been done! You guys rock!! I see Date Look Like category needs a cover with shoes. I can read this one:
but at 448 pages it may be the only one I read but I will definitely try for a second one, just want to give a headsup. Do you all think this pair of shoes qualifies??I'll gopher for a second book (who can gopher just one book?!) but I'll be open to changing it if we need to fill a certain spot later on.
I love the spreadsheet, Rusalka! It looks so nice.
Try this one Peggy https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...All updated with the above. I'll keep plugging until we have a check in by Anne, KimeyDiann, and Poongothai. Then we allocate/bags tasks in the 3 bonus points rounds, then free for all?

Thanks for doing the spreadsheet for us Rusalka! I agree, wait for the others to check in and then we can start allocating the bonus tasks. It looks like we have most of them covered anyway which is great! After that, no real planning is needed :)
No worries at all. Long weekend so happy to help while I have time. I better share some permissions to edit before going back to work on Tuesday, as week time I'm on a lot less.
Rus, I can view the spreadsheet, but not edit. I have a lot of other options that I could fill if needed. I'll focus on those areas with fewer people listed.
The spreadsheet looks good, Rusualka! It also looks like we have all the bonus point slots filled except for a couple of question marks.You have me slotted in for Canada, Series, Horror. That works for me. I have a few other options, but I'll wait until we hear from the others before swapping things around.
I don't think we have anyone currently slotted in for 'book where a main character has a job you don't want your date to have' Janice. Apart from that we are looking good! Yay!
Rusalka, you have me slotted in for a pair of legs, I assume for
. I thought of the cover more as shoes, as only part of the legs are visible. Do you think it works for both, or should I ask for a ruling?
I can read one for "book where a main character has a job you don't want your date to have." I am in the middle of a series, Shadow Unit 1, for which any book in the series would qualify. The main characters all work for the FBI in a side branch of the Behavioral Analysis Unit, where they track down a particular type of crazy serial killer who has paranormal powers. The series is sort of a cross between Criminal Minds and Fringe. They all stand a good chance of being killed at any time, and they are constantly cancelling dates. At one point, three of them abruptly leave a burial service before it is over, when all of their phones go off. There are still about nine books I haven't gotten to yet, and I tend to finish individual books in the series in two days or less.
Casceil, I am slotted for a possible leg book, too. Mine is
. So if you want me to do that one, I certainly can.
Should we figure out who's reading what for the tasks with multiple team members listed? Then maybe we can try to cover all the Couples tasks, too? What are your thoughts on where the other bonus points will come from?
The spreadsheet looks great! I'm fine with any of the three I'm scheduled for our could do one of the others I mentioned in the countries our body parts sections. I haven't looked at other members tbr's yet, but I'm sure there will be overlap with several members.

Liz, we are just waiting for a couple more team members to check in with what they may be able to read and then we will be able to start figuring out who is reading what for the bonus point tasks :)
I am fine with any of the five tasks I have been provisionally scheduled for.
Lisa wrote: "I don't think we have anyone currently slotted in for 'book where a main character has a job you don't want your date to have' Janice. Apart from that we are looking good! Yay!"The Martian could fit there. I wouldn't want my date to be an astronaut.

I figure we wait for the others to check in. Then we allocate those 16 tasks. Then people can read whatever they wish and slot them in for points where they can.In terms of the mystery points, I personally think guessing them will be as useful as trying to nail jelly to the wall. So I'm more in the read what you want for fun camp (also more likely to read more books in total if we read things we want to read, not made to read).
But this is just my opinion. What do others think?
Rusalka, I agree, but it's fun trying to hypothesis! :)
Rusalka, I agree, but it's fun trying to hypothesis! :)
I'm completely fine with switching out The Hangman's Daughter (for pair of shoes) with most any spot needed. I chose it bc I thought we needed another book for the pair of shoes spot but I see Liz has a book already in that one. Since we only get bonus points for one round completed in that spot, I can gopher around for something else.

Agreed. Love the analogy. :)
Liz wrote: "Rusalka, I agree, but it's fun trying to hypothesis! :)"Entirely agree!
I can read: Looks Like:
Torso - Also set in Canada
Where From:
Africa - South Africa
Hobbies:
Shooting -
