And that wasn't my "fun" clown. You haven't picked that one yet...

[Trisha]

oh no!!! lol 😂🤣😂🤣😭😭😭

[Trisha]

so, we need to pick a letter in HORNY to all read for.

Does anyone have a preference?
I would just like to NOT read a book for Y. Otherwise, I'm good with any!

[Angie ☯]

Same, Trisha!

[Vicki]

Lol HORNY? I am at my daughter’s so I can’t read the task but can we go by title or author’s first or last name?

[Trisha]

Q&A says:

Q: What can we use for spell-outs?
A: Title, Author, First & Last initial, Series

[Vicki]

Thanks! I have no real preference but I might have a Y book. I will have to let you guys know when I get home from watching the game tonight..

[Trisha]

lol Y is the ONLY letter I don't want! lol

[Angie ☯]

Please NOT the Y book! Lol

Are either of you reading the BOM for Wheel? It's The Road Trip

[Vicki]

I am, why?

[Vicki]

I see now. The author is O’Leary. Are you reading it too? One of us can use it for O.

[Trisha]

I'm not! I'm cleaning out my past due Netgalley!
But I can, for sure, find an R!!

[Trisha]

Vicki wrote: "I see now. The author is O’Leary. Are you reading it too? One of us can use it for O."

We all have to pick the same letter to read for.

Is everyone okay with R?

[Vicki]

OH, I didn't see that until just now (on my PC at home). I'm perfectly fine with R. And oh my gosh, I can't believe all that I didn't see on my phone. LOL I thought we had one task, had to spell out HORNY and that you (Trisha) didn't want a Y so I was going to read for that one. I'm glad I got the full picture now. Darn cell phones!

I had a great time at my daughter's tonight. I hadn't seen my two little grandkids since before we left for Cabo on Sept. 23 so I missed them terribly...getting those hugs and squeals and seeing their school work was just great. My daughter is doing an online nursing class to get her RN license, so she was in her room most of the night doing some work for school prior to watching a required video tomorrow. But when the game was over and the kids were in bed she came out and we got in a really good visit, so that was super nice. :)

[Trisha]

I'm so glad you had a good visit!! I bet they missed you too!!

YES! I thought you might be trying to cover the letters we didn't want to do and I super appreciated that ! lol

YES! R is perfect! Off to find a planned book that works!

[Trisha]

I will be a bit delayed on my last 2 books - I'll pick them up next week and get them done 😊😊

[Vicki]

Sounds good, Trisha. 😊

[Angie ☯]

Vicki -
For the task we had to choose 1 letter from HORNY, and we picked R, it is a title starting with R. (I noticed you had author's name on the spreadsheet.)

Read a chain of 3 books that start with a letter in HORNY (the team must choose one letter)

[Vicki]

You are right. I had asked Trisha about the task since I was on the phone and couldn't read the entire message, and her answer in msg. 71 was about spell outs. I mistook that to be any of those could be used for HORNY. I will remove it from the SS and find another that fits. Thanks and sorry! See why I don't want to be captain? lol

[Trisha]

Oh no, I'm so sorry Vicki! I missed that the specific task said "that start with"

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Checking in. Is everyone still with us?

[Angie ☯]

I'm here, but slow these days! lol

Pretty sure we all are, but I'll let the others speak for themselves.

[Vicki]

I am here, Jenny. Maybe I seem MIA but this past week has found me almost 100% unable to get on my PC. Still on my phone today. Hopefully tonight hubby will be done with the lights/electricity.

[Trisha]

Yes, our team is still rolling right along!

Thanks Donna!

[Angie ☯]

Completed my books, finally! I will try to do better with our next Clown.

[Angie ☯]

Hey girls,
How are we doing on this clown?

[Trisha]

Sorry, I had a family member with a medical emergency and I had to dive down there. I was with the books I brought, but not all I needed. I'm back home, but I'm playing catch up. hoping to be done today or tomorrow (I have to read book 3 to get to my book 4. started book 3, just need to finish today to move on to the next one!)

[Angie ☯]

No rush on the challenge or tasks, Trisha. I hope all is well now. Take care of you and yours, that is the most important thing!

[Vicki]

Angie, I PM’d you yesterday.

Trisha, I hope your mom’s dad is recuperating well.

*oops...I meant husband (in case you already read that) lol

[Trisha]

Thank you!! Yeah, he's recovering. it's really slow, and it seems like for each step forward, it's another step back but he is getting better!

I finished my last one!

[Vicki]

So glad to hear! I still need my #4 book.

[Trisha]

I've updated Vicki's book with another book read that was #4 in a series and I'm checking us !

[Vicki]

Thank you, Trisha.

Jack

Jack is a demonic entity bound to a toy box. He uses the jack in the box as a vessel to claim souls. The cursed toy is both his prison and his method of hunting. Anyone who winds up the toy and releases him becomes his next target.
Jack's curse has a set of rules. He must claim six victims before he can return to his box. The person who opens the box is the final victim. He uses brutal violence and psychological manipulation to claim victims.
Jack is purely malevolent. He delights in the fear and suffering of his victims. He is patient and will slowly pursue his prey, appearing in & out of the box. He is cold & calculating each move, toying with victims and instilling them with fear before finally killing them.

Complete these tasks
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books where a character goes hunting
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with a 6 in the page count
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books with a character under a curse in the story
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books with a toy on the cover

[Trisha]

Do you guys think a pool floaty or a puzzle piece would work for "toy on the cover"?
