No rush I’ll be done Monday I’d say

[Kat]

Still reading and I’m off for a few days so will be finished soon

[Kat]

I’m so sorry this book is taking me so long

Kat wrote: "I’m so sorry this book is taking me so long"

No worries Kat!

[Amanda]

It’s totally fine!

[Kat]

Finally finished I’ll sign us in as we decided to go In order

[Amanda]

How'd you like it Kat?

[Kat]

Amanda wrote: "How'd you like it Kat?"

It was ok, was bored for most of it. Picked up towards the end u?

[Amanda]

I liked it quite a bit but I listened to the audio which I think helped. There are a lot of big personalities and the narrator did a good job of bringing them to life.

Pennywise (IT)


IT is a shapeshifting creature from the species known as Deadlights. IT arrived on Earth in an event similar to an asteroid impact landing in Derry, Maine. Once people settled here, IT adopted a 25-27 year hibernation, waking to kill and eat.

Its true form seems to be a female spider but it can morph into any human animal, nonhuman animal or object, and any combination thereof. There are benefits to this ability because IT can manipulate its targets by appearing as loved ones to lure them into traps or as their worst fears. It's favorite form is that of a clown named "Pennywise" because small children love clowns. At the same time, many people fear clowns.

IT feeds on humans but prefers children as they are easier to scare and manipulate. According to the creature, frightened flesh tastes better and uses fear to "salt the meat".

To capture IT, he must be in his clown form or he will trick you. You must force him into his clown form BEFORE you chain him up. Spell out CLOWN. Then complete the chains below.
C
L
O
W
N


Complete the following tasks Must complete the spellout above 1st
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books set in Maine
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with shapeshifters
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books that start with a letter in SPIDER
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books that have 25 or 27 intact in the page count (example: 250 pgs or 127 pgs)

[Kat]

Can I have W? I have one for N too, but I’ll wait for yous as don’t want to be greedy

[Amanda]

Definitely! Putting this here so I remember: For spell: Title, Author, First & Last initial, Series


I'm almost done with a C so would like to start with that one. Also have an L and an N coming up if we need but will be a little closer to mid week. Can find an O if needed (I'm always very flexible because I read so much lol)

[Christina T]

I'm currently reading an L, if I could have that one that would be great.

[Kat]

It’s good author works too

[Kat]

I saw Donna’s comment about carrying on. I have too many challenges so I’ll be finishing end of November.

[Christina T]

I'm interested in finishing. How about you, Amanda?

[Amanda]

Yes definitely. I’m good with us mosying along like titans

[Kat]

I’ve finished mine but spreadsheet is been daft, won’t let me update it and I’ve put author in wrong box

Amanda are you doing Turf Wars? I'm reading Cursed at Christmas 194 page count, 177th on the Alliteration list, and features a Shapeshifter MC. Although TBH, the Shapeshifter task is the easiest...but then I love paranormal romances so much shifters area everywhere in them.

That’s my main one i dont wanna read lol I wanna read crime and thrillers atm but can’t find anything to fit,

[Christina T]

Kat wrote: "Do you like romance? That Second Chance is set in Maine..."

Funny that is for some reason wishlisted here on my GR wishlist shelf. It's available on KU Listening so I just might pick it up. Probably after the 26th though. That's when Turf Wars ends and with the page count of 330 it won't be great for that game. Turf Wars and Wheel don't work well together so I'm struggling a bit too accommodate them leaving this challenge and the Titan one lonely and neglected.

I ended up finding something for everything but Maine in what I have planned!

I spent before all my challenges/arcs rolled in reading higher turfs because I knew I was going to be swamped.

So... I am putting you down as a team of 2 starting in December?

Yes

[Christina T]

I've added some books to Pennywise so it looks like all we need is 2 Maine and one 25/27. After I finish my Rain book for the Titan challenge I'll read a Maine one. They look like they are pretty short so I could probably do 2 Maine.

[Christina T]

I'm reading the last Maine book now and I just realized my Rain book from the Titan challenge has 27 in the page count so I'll get Pennywise all captured when I finish these two books.

[Amanda]

Oh awesome because I missed your previous comment so wasn’t even looking for them lol

[Christina T]

Amanda, I finished Pennywise on the SS but have to leave for work. If you have time to let Donna know that would be great. If not, no worries, I'll let her know tomorrow.

[Amanda]

Got it here too!

Killjoy

Killjoy is a clown-like demon that is the end result of black magic on behalf of tragic individuals who sought love and closure but instead became victims of violence and injustice before being reborn by Killjoy's magic. In the end, after the deaths of their rivals and tormentors, these people who summoned him paid a terrible price by losing their souls to Killjoy. Thus, Killjoy was born and began to murder everyone he came across, prone to driving an ice cream truck.

To capture Killjoy you will need to summon him BEFORE you chain him up. Spell out RIVAL. Then complete the chains below
R
I
V
A
L

Complete the following tasks Must complete spellout above 1st
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books with dessert on the cover
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with demons
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books tagged revenge
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books that start with a letter in ICE CREAM TRUCK

[Amanda]

I have an I coming up but it'll probably be the weekend so if you get there first feel free to take it

[Christina T]

Amanda wrote: "I have an I coming up but it'll probably be the weekend so if you get there first feel free to take it"

It's all yours. I have a banked book for a book tagged Revenge. If you have another V book we can swap out mine and Bank the current one as that Prophesy book is also tagged Revenge. Just something to think about. If you don't, I can find another one on audio I'll read it and swap it out easily enough.
