Shan just wondering if you wanted me to take one of your chains? I have a fire book I can finish quickly.

I'll most likely get through 2 of the 3 I have left on Saturday. Maybe all 3, since I'll listen while I clean and then while I play either The Sims or Hogwarts.

No worries, I can understand with babysitting. I can’t get any reading done on my babysitting days either.
We are checked in. Now off to catch up on reviews.

The lunatics were three psychos who escaped from a mental hospital when a circus was in town. They murdered three clowns and took their costumes as their own. All three clowns are deranged with violent tendencies. Each has their own distinct look and behavior but all are equally menacing acting in almost near silence.
Cheezo: The leader of the trio. He has an eerie calm about him.
Bippo: The most aggressive, known for erratic and unpredictable behavior.
Dippo: The quietest of the three and most malevolent.
You have been assigned to capture Bippo

If we can use author's I can take the B
If it's title's only I'm sure I can find either
I have a buddy read that I can finish for the B if that is okay. We get extra points for the buddy reads and that is the only letter that fits.The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent

Q: What can we use for spell-outs?A: Title, Author, First & Last initial, Series
I can take I and/or O with those options
I can also do any of the other letters
Okay the B is done, I raced to finish it so I could use it for turf wars as well.
Which letters do you want Richard?
I'll take the O then Shan if you do the I
Finished my O book, so we are just waiting for Shan to finish hers. Not sure if that is all we need to do for this one
Yes, the spell-out is the only thing to do for this clown
Sorry, I finished yesterday. Still updating my challenges though. We are checked in.

The Heads are a group of clowns that kidnap a group of people to play a game with them within a haunted house. They are given 12 hours to survive while the clowns try to kill them. The clowns are named Doom-Head, Psycho-Head, Schizo-Head, Death-Head, Sex-Head and Sick-Head.
Sick-Head is a midget that looks like a Hispanic Hitler complete with swastika. Psycho-head and Schizo-Head are chainsaw-wielding brothers. Death & Sex have those words actually written on their chests and are reminiscent of a BDSM duo. Doom-Head is the creepiest of the bunch.
Your team has been assigned: Schizo-Head

Spell out your assigned head. The twist for this task is if you complete the spell out in 12 hours or less, your team will receive a bonus of 50 points.
You have until 9:27 PM EDT for the bonus points. Good luck!

12 hours. Ok, it's currently 11:30pm where I am. I'm happy to do an all-nighter, to get us the points.

If you do decide to do that. I'll check once I'm done to see if I can find shorter books to help out with what's remaining on the SS.
Only just got up and saw this. It's 6 am here and my grandbaby is sick so have an unexpected free day. I've got a few books to finish off and can take a few.
I updated the sheet with the ones I just finished for other challenges. I can speed read the Z.
If you take the I Shan, then we will have a H and A left. I can do these if no one else wants them.
That works. My current book works for both. I can still try to get to another if you haven't finished both of those when I'm done with this one. I'm currently at 86% since I've had to keep starting and stopping.
Aaah sorry team...I fell asleep while reading.I can take the H & A
Also the Z, if you don't want to speed read, Anastasia

Finished it.
Richard I'll take the A. It won't take me long. I have read all the Agatha Christies probably over 20 times They are my comfort reads and I have 3 complete sets of all her books.
Ok, I'll take the H then. I'll also read a higher-scoring book for the other H.
We'll be fine. We still have at least 2 hours left.
I finished my books, so just waiting on yours Richard. Will you be able to check us in or do you have to work soon?
Richard I did a H just in case as can use it in turf wars so if you can't finish yours, I can use mine. We only have about 30 mins left
Done! And checked us in.
Sorry to stress you out Anastasia...they were beefy books 🤓
