Team 6: Something Wicked

[Carrie]

I added my "P" book to the spreadsheet. I hope to have my first in a series book finished at some point tonight!

[Carrie]

It looks like we only have one more segment to finish for the witch and then we can move on to Frankenstein!

[Carrie]

I have an idea what I'm doing for my "death" in title book and my color book. I have no idea about my all black book or my book with spiders on the cover.

What are you both considering reading?

[Lauri]

I'm almost finished with my 3rd in series book so we can slay the witch & put her behind us. Should be done by tomorrow at the latest...

For Frankie, I've got Rapture in Death, This Book Is Full of Spiders, I have numerous black cover options! I'm going to read Vision in Silver for the color title book....

[Zuza]

For death I will probably read The Death and Life of Eleanor Parker; for black cover this one After On: A Novel of Silicon Valley; for color probably Violet Made of Thorns. I don't know what I'm going to read for the spider prompt yet.

Could someone please add this to our spreadsheet for me?
Thank you kindly!

[Zuza]

Added it.

So we are good to start reading for Frankenstein right?

[Carrie]

We are good to go now!

I'm still looking for my spider book...but i have the other 3 ready to read.

[Zuza]

Great.

I think the spider book will be a tough one to find.

Or you could go to the Q&A and check out the helpful lists that I posted for you. I believe there is a spider on the cover list and an insect on the cover list. You may just find something ; )

[Carrie]

Thanks Donna! Greatly appreciate that :)

(Who knew there were so many spider books...)

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

There are probably more but GR would only let me add so many and I believe someone else added a few.

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Congrats on capturing the witch! You have earned this bookmark:

[Zuza]

Hi girls how it's going? I finished my death book and I will probably read spider book next .... Came across this book with spider on the cover

[Lauri]

I’m good! LOVE Halloween and October! Almost finished with my color book & have made a start on the other three. Hope all is well with you!

[Carrie]

Good here. Been a bit busy. I'll be adding my color title book and the one with the word death in the title tonight or tomorrow.

I love October as well. Fall is my favorite season!

Thanks for posting that Cackle has a spider on the cover. I'm going to read that I think!

[Carrie]

I finished . I didn't love it as much as I hoped I would...

Are you reading it Zuzu?

[Zuza]

I finished it too, I was expecting something much different - something witchy and scary and that didn't happen, so I was kind of disappointed :/.

Also started my black book After On: A Novel of Silicon Valley, but I think I need to find a different one, I have no idea what's happening and I have a feeling I would be reading this one for ages :D.

[Carrie]

I was expecting something very different as well. My favorite character ended up being the spider lol!

I'm working on my death book. Should be finished tonight or tomorrow.

Can't blame you for switching books. Nothing worse than when you have no idea what's happening in a book!!

It’s got spiders on the cover!



Could someone add it to our spreadsheet for me, please?!
Thank you!

[Lauri]

How’s everyone doing? Still playing, right?

[Carrie]

Do you think this book counts as black cover?

I have to add my death book. I’m finished with it.

[Carrie]

Death book added.

I only have the black cover one left. I finished The Book Eaters but I'm not sure if it would count. I'll look for another black cover book to read and then I'll be finished with Frankenstein.

How's everyone else doing?

[Carrie]

Did you like This Book is Full of Spiders?

[Zuza]

Yes, still playing.

I finished my spider book and my death book. I am working on my black cover book which is going slow and haven't started my color book. Hope i will have more reading time during the weekend, I just didn't feel like reading this past two weeks.

As for the black cover of the book eater, tinyeye.com says it's mostly grey.

[Carrie]

Sounds good. I’m working on my black cover book now.

OMG! It is soooo crazy! Sick humor, but still laugh-out-loud funny. I don't know what this says about me! I must be a bit "off!" Definitely recommended if you're not squeamish or uptight...

I’ll have to add it to my to read list! It sounds like a good one!

[Carrie]

I’m finishing my black cover as well. It’s long but I’m almost done.

I vote for Vampire!

[Zuza]

Vampire has my vote too. I am working on my colour book, hopefully will be done by Sunday.

[Carrie]

Sunday sounds good to me. I’ll have my black cover finished by then!

[Lauri]

Vampire it is, then! Yaaaayyyy....

[Zuza]

Finished all four tasks/books and updated the tracking sheet.

[Carrie]

Finished all four of my tasks and updated the spreadsheet as well!

[Lauri]

So sorry I'm dragging behind....I'll try my best to finish up so that we can move onnnnn!

Added.

So we are done with Frankenstein. Have you picked your books for Vampire? So far I only picked one with house on cover , will be starting it today.

[Carrie]

I'll be looking at my options today! Hopefully we all find some good ones :)

[Lauri]

I’ve got Phantom Evil for spooky house almost done! I plan to read Blue Dahlia for color cover, Bit the Jackpot for bats on cover & Interview with the Vampire for title….

Are we still having fun?

[Carrie]

Honestly, this is one of my favorite challenges I’ve done - and I’ve done a lot of them!!

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Congrats on capturing Frankenstein! You have earned this bookmark:

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Hello? Are we hiding on this team? I don't see any chatter about your next monster and you finished Frankenstein last week.

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

We are getting close to the end of the game. There are a lot of close scores. Several teams have a bonus monster and at least one is close to starting one. I hope you are all enjoying the challenge. Just remember it is not whether you win or lose, it is how you play the game that counts. In other words, have fun, and let's finish this!

Don't forget to leave your thoughts in the feedback thread. Your mods love to hear what you think and we use every bit of it when planning future challenges.

[Carrie]

Working on my color book now. I’m going to try to step things up a bit for the next few days so I can add some books.

Can’t believe this challenge is coming to an end so quickly. I’ve really had fun with this one and would love to see others similar to it!

[Carrie]

So sorry Lauir and Zuza. Things got a bit hectic around the holiday and I didn't have a chance to read as much as I had hoped.

I had a great time with this challenge though. You two were great teammates. Hopefully I'll see you both in future challenges!!

[Lauri]

Same here! I hate to leave it unfinished. I think I will still finish up Interview with the Vampire because I’m almost done!
This is my 5th attempt to read it…

I had a lot of fun playing! You were great teammates. Thanks for all the assistance to! Happy Holidays to all & to all a good night!
