I'm here, working on my white book as well
It looks like we have all finsihed our books for this round. Do we have a nominee for our next attack?I have no preference but for suggestions sake, Cleaver and Lil Miss Clever keep catching my eye.
The Clowns
*Sweet Tooth
*Pennywise
*Killjoy
*Kent McCoy
*Stitches
*Captain Spaulding
*Violator
*Twisty
*Joker
*Cleaver & LIl Miss Cleaver
*Ribcage
*The Heads
*The Lunatics
*Horny
*The Laugh
*Shivers
*Tickles
I was thinking either Cleaver or Captain Spaulding. Although I also wouldn't be opposed to Kent McCoy.
I'll check us in with Cleaver to keep the game moving and Megan can choose for the next clown.

The Cleaver was a man who found a job as a clown but then came home to discover his wife was having an affair. He put on his clown suit and then killed her and her lover. The cops showed up and he ran off laughing. He disappeared but children also disappeared every year and someone was always found butchered at the same time. He is looking for his daughter, whom he had left behind and was put up for adoption. Once he finds her, it becomes a family business! The Cleavers are known for setting traps and enjoy torturing their victims.
Complete the following tasks
To Catch the Cleaver
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books with someone having an affair
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books tagged family
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books where someone disappears
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books with all the letters of TRAP in the title
To Catch Lil Miss Cleaver
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books with a daughter in the story
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with someone who is adopted
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books with a family business
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books with all the letters of CLEAVER in the title/series
Good choice. There are a few tough ones, but I like a challenge.
hey guys just checking in. I'm going to be pretty sparse in the reading until after Wednesday....both my partner and I found bed bugs this week in our respective houses and there is tons for us to do before the exterminator comes.
Okie dokie...Good luck. I hear they can be tough to deal with.
Checking in, I'm working on a few books. I just sent my fiance off to North Carolina last night so I have a ton of free time now
I just finished arm 2. I will be going out of town tomorrow and won't be back until Tuesday. I'm not sure how much reading I will be getting done, but I'm hoping a couple of books.
I'm back and will power through some books to get caught up.
Welcome back :) did you guys get everything taken care of? I know how difficult bed bugs can be
it turns out I only had carpet beetles. still a nuisance but not quite the level of bedbugs. my place was still sprayed and I did all the decluttering and cleaning that they recommend for bed bugs. but it was a bit of overkill. my partner does have bed bugs so there has been a lot of work done at his place. and he gets his 2nd spray this Thursday. I get to cat sit Thursday as my partner has two cats and it reaffirms our decision to not move in together.... I much much prefer dogs and he's a firm cat lover. my little terrier is spending her time 2 hours away at my son's. I'll hopefully have her home this coming Saturday.
oh man. well i'm glad that you guys were able to get some things taken care of
Thanks Michelle. Do you have a next clown in mind?I'm just finishing my last book and should be done today
Nope, Whomever checks us in can pick whatever clown they want.
Checking in @Tori. How are you making out?
Oh man, I'm so sorry. I had a bunch of chaos happen but I got my books updated and completed. I was thinking we could do Pennywise next
I just checked us in and chose Pennywise.
I'm not sure if you saw this message from Donna over in the sign uos thread..."Those of you playing competitively...
This competitive challenge will end at the end of the month. However, you have some decisions to make. Your team can continue playing non-competitively for as long as you like. This can be as a team of 2 or 3. If you play as a team of two, you will rotate who takes on the extra task.
If one of you wants to play and nobody else does, this is NOT an issue. I have made an individual option. The individual player will play alone and only read one book per task (unless they want to read 3 books per task- that is ok also).
So start thinking about this. At the end of the month, please let me know how your team will move forward.'
I want to continue to play. What are your thoughts on this?
Mod
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)
Tori wrote: "I would also like to continue to play"Awesome!
I will definitely play until we finish Pennywise. I'm not sure if I can commit to finishing the whole kaboodle.
I've also filled in the spreadsheet with the tasks for this round. Is anyone working on a letter for the Spell out?
Thanks for filling out the SS. I was going to start working on the letter "C", but would not be able to get to it until tomorrow.However if anyone wants that letter instead, I am able to do any of the other letters.
I'm going to start with W and will go from there.

I will need this answer soon.
C is finished and I am working on the "O" now.
I have the C & O done on Clown.L and N are left. I have a couple of books that I am currently reading for another challenge. As soon as I get them done I can see what letter is left and read for another letter unless someone else gets to them first.
It stinks that none of the books I am currently reading fit.
Thanks Michelle. I'm about halfway through my W. My partner is leaving Friday for 9 days in a fly in mining camp and he's an anxious ball of stress because of his fear of flying and the trip is very last minute. Needless to say not a lot of reading has been getting done. Once he leaves, I'll have more time.

I don't blame him for being nervous about flying. I would be to.
Hey ToriThe books you completed, Hunt Me! I Crave the Chase & Devil May Lie can't be used because the spellout of clown has to be done first and we are still missing the W & N. It's up there in Post 80.
I was finally able to find a book that works for Maine and I am almost finished with my shifter one
No rush. I'm still working on the last one.
@ Tori - If you have not started on a shifter book, I just finished one that that can be used.
I actually have one that I should have finished by the end of the day :)
Okay, I am finally finished and got my book logged. Who were we interested in next? I was thinking maybe Ribcage?
Before we can go on what happened to wishbear's completions posts? She is missing from the SS all of a sudden. She was supposed to finish Pennywise with us. If not, we will need to read for her tasks before we can go on.
I see, I'm working on another shifter one that we can use
