Halloween Roundup- 12-Howling Hobgoblins
Mod
I have books on my To Read list that fit E, C, H, N, T, and D for the spell-out. How about if we each pick 2 letters to start and then come back when we're done those 2 books to choose from what's left?
If that's okay with you guys I would like to choose E and C for my first 2 letters.

OK. I'll take T & D for starters.

Yay!I've got my tentative plans set for the rest of the GHOST prompts.
Arm 1 GHOST in title -- Leigh Howard and the Ghosts of Simmons-Pierce Manor
Arm 2 dead character -- I have books with vampires and zombies as well, but I'm leaning toward this one that I got from the library recently: I Woke Up Dead at the Mall
Leg 1 SOUL in title -- The Dog with the Old Soul: True Stories of the Love, Hope and Joy Animals Bring to Our Lives
Leg 2 HAUNT in title -- Haunted Hamilton: The Ghosts of Dundurn Castle and Other Steeltown Shivers (this is my hometown)
Provided the last two are still available at my library from when I last checked...

I'll do a buddy request.

As I was concerned about, a couple of the books I was planning to read are no longer available at the library. Ugh, that's what I get for planning ahead.

Hey folks, I have literally nothing left for this one. I tried reading the ghost book I planned and it was horrible so I gave up. Sometimes this challenge has been a bit of a struggle because the prompts are so precise so I find myself reading books I don't really even want to read just to fit the parameters. Hopefully you folks are faring better.
Yep, it's certainly been a challenge at times, read a few I didn't want & had to change books because the first one was awful. Still working on it, though.Leg 1: Soul Music by Terry Pratchett 21/11 5★

I am reading one for ghost right now I should finish it by this weekend.
We're not doing too badly, really. 9th out of 21 teams.
Severina, if you have an extra Haunt, I will read 2 Ghosts. Will that help?
Yes, thanks Cats. The original book I was going to read for Haunt is available again, so I'll give it a go!
OMG YOU GUYS. so I just downloaded the other 'haunt' book and the subtitle is "The GHOSTS of Dundurn Castle and other Steeltown Shivers". GHOST. So Cats, I can use those for Haunt or for Ghost, whichever you would prefer! Just let me know!
As one of mine is probably going to be The Ghost and the Haunted Mansion, I think it's 6 of one, half a dozen of the other 😃
Hah, that's hilarious. We're quite the pair! Okay, I will stick with using mine for HAUNT then

A ghost is the spirit of a dead person or animal. Ghosts can vary from invisible to translucent or wispy shapes. They are believed to haunt specific locations, people or objects.
A ghost cannot be chained with regular chains. They would slip right out of them. The chains must be spelled first. Before you complete your chains, spell out "Enchanted"
Once your spellout is done, complete the following tasks
Arm 1 Create a chain of 3 using titles or series with the word "ghost"
Arm 2 Create a chain of 3 using books with a dead character (your interpretation)
Leg 1 Create a chain of 3 using titles/series with the word "Soul"
Leg 2 Create a chain of 3 using titles with the word "haunt"
