I was just reading through the live characters and i managed to fit in my recent book into Iago!
Do we want to decide which characters to use our 4 skips on now? That way we can see what tasks are left for the other characters to try and fill them.
Heihei seems like a good one to skip based on the remaining tasks.

Magic Mirror also seems like a good one to skip as well 🤷♀️

Title has a sweet in it - Harris, Hubert & Hamish
Read a book from the Paranoia Books List - Pain & Panic
Features a demonic duo - Pain & Panic
Bug in title - Ray
MC has light magic - Ray
MPG Music - Ray
All of the remaining prompts for Flora, Fauna & Merryweather (except 'wand on cover' as there's a banked book for that prompt)
All of the remaining prompts for Anastasia & Drizella (except 'Read a book from the Sister Books List' as I found a book that I can read for that if needed)
Does anyone have books that will fulfil those prompts? (So we can decide what other characters we want to skip)

The MC in the book I just read can release arrows of Sky-fire from a special bow, which is basically a thunderbolt or lightning bolt - would this work for "light magic"? Going to ask in the Q&A.

Actually, the book (Daughter of the Moon Goddess) fits MUSHU better (both elemental magic and from the immortality list).
Anyway, I banked it, so feel free to use it when needed.

Congrats! You have completed the last four tasks of The Lost Boys! Your new character is Victor, Hugo & Laverne!
You will be reading for the last 4 tasks in order to complete these two characters on the Round 1 tab. Good luck completing them!

I would put this under H, U, G, O

I would put this book under Victor, Hugo, & Laverene the prompt Hugo
I agree with Mouse that maybe we should skip the 4 Pain & Panic tasks when we come to them. They seem kind of difficult and there aren't any banked tasks.
Agree, they look difficult. So that's 3 character to skip (Heihei, Magic Mirror, and Pain & Panic). Do we know the 4th we'd like to skip?

If no one else has something for HUGO in series, I agree we could move Andy's book there to finish off the character.

Maybe Flora, Fauna, Merryweather? I have 1 book banked, but true love's kiss and blessing seem hard. I could always move my book to another category

HUGO seems a much easier prompt than others, don't we have other books that fit? Otherwise your call, fine by me!

Question, do we get another 4 passes for the next round, or is it 4 for the whole challenge?

I might be mistaken!
Andy wrote: "Are you sure we get 4 passes in terms of character? I thought we would get 4 passes total (i.e. skipping 1 character)?
I might be mistaken!"
Each skip is per character for 4 tasks, so we can skip 4 characters. I double checked how another team used their skips since I wasn't 100% sure due to the wording and it was for 4 characters for 4 tasks each.

In any case, you forgot to add the buddy-read link and the 2 extra point. It's all in the spreadsheet. I can't change it from the phone.
On GR the series is titled The Celestial Kingdom Duology #1 so I think it should work since Duology is in there on GR to get the U needed.
I replied to the review thread with the correction and asking for your BR points to be added.

Just so no one is confused, I added a filter to the banked tab in the spreadsheet so we can just see what hasn't been posted yet.
