The Amazing Race Questions

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Thank you, everyone. I'm holding Lexi right now so her momma can sleep :)

For Roadblock: read a book with a prepared food on the cover - did you have only savory dishes in mind or would cupcakes, cakes fortune cookies and similar foods work as well?

I thought so far to use one of these:
1. 2. pancakes
3. 4. 5. cupcakes
6. 7. 8. cake
9. 10. 11. 12. 13. can't say what it all is but looks like prepared food to me
14. salat (plate)
15. 16. savory, but not well visible
17. 18. worst case ideas

I numbered all the covers so if you want, you can just list those that work (or don't work for you) to make it a bit easier :-D

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

Agnieszka, I can't tell what number 13 is either, so that one won't work. All the rest look yummy fine.

LOL! Thank you. Now I only have to decide which one to read :-D

Would by Marissa Meyer work? On the books page it says the location is new Bejing and I found it on Listopia’s “Asian Fantasy and Science Fiction”

Sure.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I am all out of back-up players. Do you want me to send out a message to TCF members asking for a replacement player, or do you want to finish the challenge with 4 on your team?

We can carry on with 4 just not sure if we can read the extra book between us or do we just lose it

I have a question to the 'No starting before Wednesday' rule

During the weekend I started a book that would fit one of the tasks the comming week. If I re-read the first chapter (only 9 pages - so I'd be willing to do it) could I stil use it or is it too late for that book?

Someone on your team can read the extra book now.

You can use the book if you restart Wednesday morning.

Thanks Lanelle 😊

Janeylou & Lanelle, our team just got a request from a person asking to join. Since one of the teams is a person short I thought you could be interested to know. I asked them to re-post their request to join in the sing in thread.

Thank you. Hopefully that person will sign up soon.

For this week’s location task, I have a book I’m keen to read that is exactly 400 pages. Will this do or does it need to be more than 400?

Exactly 400 pages is fine.

I have questions to two tasks (I don't know yet which one I'll complete)

Roadblock: read a book where the MC goes swimming
A) I have two books in mind but none have a clearly defined MC but a team. If one team member goes swimming would that be enough, or would it only count if the entire teams does it?
The books I'm considering are:
Paid In Blood by Mel Odom
Proximity: A Novel of the Navy's Elite Bomb Squad by Stephen Phillips

B) My other possibility would be according to Kindle book search:
Though Not Dead book 9 in The Kate Shugak Investigation Books 10-20 Box Set by Dana Stabenow (pages in book set: 2075-2509) unfortunatelly when I continued after 'She moaned' I realised it's a very realistic dream/nightmare and she's not actually in water (see quote behind spoiler taggs). (view spoiler)[
The sea around her was thick and black and bottomless. It felt like she would never reach the surface. When she did, after a long and painful swim that stretched her muscles and strained her lungs, the waves slapped at her face, rough, urgent, sandpapering her skin. She moaned.
She heard a siren. She moaned again.
The slapping of the waves increased. So did the volume of the siren. “Stop,” she said, “please stop.”
She opened her eyes, or tried to. One was swollen shut, the other almost so, and the lids were gummed with some sticky substance, the subject of determined removal by Mutt’s tongue.
Mutt was standing with her forepaws on either side of Kate’s head and her rear paws on either side of Kate’s hips, engaged in a vigorous cleaning of Kate’s face. In between licks she would raise her head and growl at the door, a rumbling, menacing sound designed to terrorize anything standing outside of it, up to and including an F-15. (S.2140) (hide spoiler)] Would that still count?


Mission: read a book with a one-word title
Do book titles with sub-title (e.g. Proximity: A Novel of the Navy's Elite Bomb Squad) count here too or only 'clean' one-word titles (e.g. Incorruptible)?

If there is not a clearly defined MC, then it needs to be the whole team.

Sure.

One-word book titles with subtitles count.

Thank you! Now I'll know what I can pick from.

Sleeping with the Fishes MaryJanice Davidson

🚇Transportation: - read a book where the MC travels on an airplane or by subway

Is it enough to be told?

in text: He'd woken up after flying from Boston to Montana...

You're right; it's almost a side thought. I'll accept it.
