When did we get the tasks for this clown? I finished an N title on Wednesday evening if we want to use it and it fits the time frame.

Looks like Louise finished hers and mine are done too as of this morning, so we can move on to the tasks.
I finished my first two today and managed to find books for the other two that fit for the Turf Wars lists for next rounds, so I should have them done on Tuesday.
I think I'll have my books done today. Or tomorrow morning at the latest. Although if we lose power due to Helene I won't have wifi for my laptop to update the spreadsheet. But we're only suppose to get rain and wind, not the full force of the hurricane.
I only have my Maine book to finish and TBH I won't start it until Oct, so it'll be a few days yet!

So my Maine book works as a list book for the next TW round, which means I wouldn't finish until Friday? Are we okay with that or should I finish today? (it works for store front)
I only have my Maine book to do which I should finish Saturday 🤞
Finished my last book and updated the SS.
Finished my book and updated the sheet

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
Let me go see what works for the spell-out, then I'll post what I can do.Q: What can we use for spell-outs?
A: Title, Author, First & Last initial, Series
I can do V, L, and/or A. No Is or Rs in my upcoming stuff, so I hope one of you has them!
I have an upcoming R author. Also have L and I could do A and I but not necessarily as quickly.Of course finished a V just the day before...
I know Louise has an L, because we bullied her into it in the sorority challenge. I can do an I, but it will take me a little longer. How does this look?R - LaurLa
I - Laura
V - Laura
A - LaurLa
L - Louise
Louise, if you want something different or have something for the A or I which will take LaurLa and I longer to get to, go for it (but please let us know, of course!).
I might do an Anne book for this round of Turf Wars, but I'm looking at some of Montgomery's other books that have better page counts also.
Is this right? LaurLa, if/when one of us starts an A, just post here for the other one. My V is my current audio, so I'll probably be done with it tomorrow.R - LaurLa
I - Louise
V - Laura
A - LaurLa/Laura
L - Louise
I finished my V. LaurLa, I'll be starting Anne's House of Dreams as my next audio, so I can take the A.
I should be finished with my R tomorrow, maybe tonight depending on what we do tonight (we're in Savannah... so lots of choices!). I'll post as quick as I can once done.
If you're looking for a dessert book,
is on the Bookshop list for Turf Wars and has cakes of some kind on the cover. I picked up a copy at my used bookstore recently, so I'm going to go ahead and read it.
Finished my R book and updated SS.Laura, I've seen that book around. It seems to be pretty popular. I may give it a whirl if I don't have an easy dessert cover... at least it's generic desert and not specifically ice cream again!

I've seen it everywhere, too. My bookstore had a used copy, so I decided to take a chance a few weeks ago.
There were lots of books on that bookstore list that probably have desserts on the cover. If I can get a copy, I'll also read

I won’t have my book finished until tomorrow so I can use it for Turf Wars
FInished my book and added it to the sheet
Louise wrote: "FInished my book and added it to the sheet"Perfect timing. I'm getting ready to start my books for this one.

I should have my dessert book done today (or tomorrow morning). But I won't have my last book finished until the start of the next Turf Wars round. Too many still to finish for this round!
I still have 2 to read and I'm not sure when I'll get done. I keep pushing Dreamfever down the list - I have to read it eventually for PtP and it's the only thing I have tagged revenge, but it'll probably be Monday or later. The other one is barely on my radar but I'm going to see if another I need to read for Olympics will actually work - it has vampires and other supernatural creatures but can't remember if it does have demons too.
Hoping to finish my last book by Sunday.
I'm stuck on my demon book. I was hoping a demon would pop up in Apprentice to the Villain, but no such luck. I'm going to wait to read it until the new TW round starts... so Wed?
Should have my last book done in the next few days
How are those last books coming? Don't see this is as pressure, please! Because I'm fine with waiting. We're doing non-competitive for a reason. But if either of you are struggling with a book, you don't have to force yourself to finish. My Ice Cream Truck book is tagged Demon 10 times. (Just need a replacement ice cream truck book, if one of you has one.). And I read
. I believe those are cinnamon buns in the window, which are a dessert/sweet treat in my mind.
I should be finished with mine tomorrow
I finished my last one and updated the spreadsheet. Whew... like you Laura (from the TW threads), my challenges aren't playing well together either!

Kent McCoy is a loving father who when hosting a birthday party for his son finds an old clown costume in the basement of a house he is selling and puts it on when the hired clown can't make it. He's then unable to take the costume off and soon starts changing, upon contacting the previous owner of the costume he learns it is the hair and skin of an ancient Icelandic demon called the "Clöyne" and that dismemberment is the only way to prevent the possession. Once possession has occurred the only way to release the host is to eat 5 children.
Complete the following tasks
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books set in Iceland
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with a 5 in the publication date
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books tagged family
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books with a house on the cover
The dropdown on the spreadsheet doesn't include these tasks, yet. I posted in the Q&A for Donna.
This mystery series is set in Iceland. And several of them are included if you have an Audible membership. Jar City
