If you are reading for cross we can use "Our Country Christmas" for the last ash.

Lets do witch next

[Severina]

Witch is great by me

[Catsalive]

checked in

[Donna, Chief Inspector]

Witches were perceived by early Christians as evil even though many were simply healers or were misunderstood. This witch hysteria led to the infamous Salem Witch Trials when women were accused of all sorts of things. Modern-day Wiccans avoid evil and any appearance of evil at all costs.


To catch the witch complete the following tasks:

Arm 1: Create a chain of 3 using titles or series with the word "witch"
Arm 2: Create a chain of 3 books with a character that is a healer
Leg 1: Create a chain of 3 books starting with a letter in Salem (you must decide as a team which letter to use and use the same letter)
Leg 2: Create a chain of 3 using consecutive series numbers (123)
Example Chain: The Hunger Games (book 1) | Insurgent (book 2) | City of Glass (book 3)

[Severina]

Hey ladies!

I was just looking at our latest chains for WITCH.

For Leg 1 - starting with a letter in SALEM - I have books for all the letters so whatever one you two decide on is fine by me.

For Leg 2 - consecutive series numbers - I have series books for books 1, 2, 3 and 4. Just let me know where I fit around what you guys have available.

Happy reading!

[Catsalive]

Given that we can use A & An I suppose A is the easiest - E is the only one I'd find tricky.

As for series, I can fit anywhere but I am about to start a couple of 3s.

[Severina]

RaeRae, I noticed you filled in a witch title on the spreadsheet but it says its only 114 pages and the minimum page count for this challenge is 140, so it won't count. :(

Do you have any thoughts on a common letter in SALEM or on what number of a series book you would like to read?

[Donna, Chief Inspector]

Question: Do you think your team will finish all the monsters? If so, should I work on creating a bonus monster?

[Catsalive]

Donna wrote: "Question: Do you think your team will finish all the monsters? If so, should I work on creating a bonus monster?"

I can't see us finishing all the monsters.

[Donna, Chief Inspector]

LOL nobody did last year but someone asked what would happen if they did. I am just trying to see if any teams are close enough to justify making a bonus monster.

[Severina]

Is there a due date?

[Donna, Chief Inspector]

Challenge ends November 30th

Do you have any thought..."

I just noticed that myself. I do have one that will work so I will change that in the spreadsheet when I go to lunch today. Thanks for catching that.

[RaeRae]

I have a series one that I would like to read and I am ok with whatever letter for SALEM. I can make any of those work.

[Severina]

Okay. So for series, Rae wants series 1 and Cats, you said that you were about to start some series 3s. So let's stick with that and I'll read a series 2.

As for SALEM, since we all have options except for Cats with E, can we do L?

I don't have one with healer in it. I am almost finished with my L book.

[Catsalive]

If I find another healer, I'll do it, or if you come across one Severina.

[Severina]

I don't have one offhand.

[Donna, Chief Inspector]

You guys are overthinking the task. Who do you see when you need to be healed?

Please include pages & date read.

[Severina]

If we just go by the link that Rae left to the book, we could go by that (193 pages). And the finish date would be today since yesterday she said she was almost finished.
