District 3

[Ashleigh]

I haven't been able to get much reading done the past few weeks. A colleague was away on holidays so doing two persons job while they were away. And my son has been unwell.

My colleague returns today, my son is better and back to school so looking forward to some reading/relaxing time for myself.

[Elisabeth]

I have a short Q which I can have a good go at finishing today.

[Vicky]

I just finished my book, so I'm seeing if we can squeeze in a last minute district spin and maybe use some of the banked books that we're squirrel compatible!

[Vicky]

Almost Final Update!

As I type this we have just over 9.5 hours to go!

I did a full sweep of all shelves, so any books added to your shelves have been added. If you finish anything in the next few hours, please add it!

We spun District 1 on the Arena Wheel and filled 6/8 books from. We've hidden all the books that aren't on the official sheet so if any of those that are left on our spreadsheet have a luxury item link in the plot (or a Japan setting); let us know and we can fill that in too!

[Shelby]

Ok so I just found a super short U book that I'm going to tackle and possibly another if someone doesn't pop on with one in the next little bit. I'm off today so I'll probably be the one doing the late night update. If we can get books turned in by midnight PST we're only that one U book short and I can maybe fit it in too and get us an extra spin and use up a few more letters potentially. :D

[Cindy]

I finished a book that may work for luxury item in plot. Talks about MC owning a penthouse and he buys female MC a brand new coach touring bus

[Shelby]

Sounds like it to me.

[Shelby]

One U book down and found another short one. So I'll have those two done before the deadline. :)

[Lucy]

Thank you captains and team! It's been so much fun, and this challenge has helped me knock my reading goals out of the park this year!

Thank you captains and teammates. This was fun and I added some of the books I saw during this challenge to my TBR.

[Ashley]

Thanks for a great challenge, everyone! Happy Reading!

[Ashleigh]

Thanks District 3 teammates and Captains. This was a fun challenge and I got more reading done than I thought I would.

[Elisabeth]

Many thanks to Captains and teammates! No doubt some of us will meet up in future teams. I read lots more than I thought. I’ll have to adjust future projected totals higher.

[Shelby]

Such a fun challenge with you all! Thanks for being such amazing team mates. Until the next one! ;)

Thanks Captains and team!

The struggle for survival in the arena is a never ending cycle. Sometimes a tribute will luck into a boon but they are just as likely to be a victim of sabotage.

The Randomizer was let loose on all of the teams' resource supply piles. The Arena Masters are not heartless, the news isn't all bad. But the Arena is an unforgiving landscape and in the final hours the randomizer takes one last spin through the resources.

In Round 3, teams may receive a boons (15% page point increase), or sabotages (10% or 15% page point decrease). Teams can received the same boon or sabotage more than once. Impacts to resource supply piles are team specific.

Your team's randomizer results

Weapons: 10% decrease
Shelter: 15% increase (protected, no change)
Food: 10% decrease (protected, no change)
Defense: 15% decrease (protected, no change)

thank you guys it has been a blast. Hope to see you again in future challenges
