Wait.. I read a short-ish Iceland book a while back.. Let me go search for it.

Here we go. It wasn't horrible.Snowfire: A heartwarming romance set in Iceland
It's 2.99 but I can always send it to you if either of you are interested.
Also, this #2 from Obedient series is set in Iceland as well. It's been 2 years since I read it, so don't remember if you need to have read #1 in order not to be totally lost, but it's an option.
Suspiciously Obedient

I’ll stick with my audio. I’ve been doing DoorDash deliveries lately, so having an audio is a good thing.
I'm going with this one... It has good default pp for TW and meets the TART requirement, so that's a plus! I can get it for .99 or see if our friend in the dungeon has.Fall Hard

I do love an Icelandic thriller. Other than my Iceland book my others were already planned for this week 🎉🎉🎉
We're going through this one pretty quickly. Looks like we each just have 1 more book. I've got a question in hoping I can make my Bingo dragon book fit for the house on cover.
Yes, but mine is at the bottom of the list right now...
My castle on the cover works for a house, so I should be done with mine by the end of the weekend.
I should have my last book tomorrow :)
Sorry you guys were waiting on me. I'm done and checked us in.

Stitches is a birthday clown who is late to a birthday party, where he was hired to entertain some 10-year-olds. One of the children ties his shoelaces together in a prank leading to his death. A group of clowns use his clown egg to perform a ritual resulting in Stitches returning to life six years later. He is determined to exact revenge on the teenagers who contributed to his death.
Complete the following tasks
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books with 10 intact in the page count (example 210 pages or 108 pages)
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with a teenage MC
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books where someone celebrates a birthday
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books with the author's initials in STITCHES
I've picked out 3 of my books, but Amazon's Search feature has not been working very well lately. So I'll read and hope to encounter a birthday soon. :)
Laura - do you happen to have a second teenager that you could trade me for birthday?
Awesome! Thanks! So you'll do 2 Arm 2s and I'll do 2 Leg 1s.
LaurLa wrote: "Awesome! Thanks! So you'll do 2 Arm 2s and I'll do 2 Leg 1s."Perfect! I've made changes to my part of the spreadsheet.
I’ll take a look in the next day or two to see what I have

Just let me know if you are making any team changes.
I'm okay to keep playing at our current pace if you ladies want to. But if anyone wants to stop because of the busy season ahead, I get that as well and I'm okay either way.
I'm fine continuing as long as we all want. I like our relaxed pace :-)
No worries. LaurLa still has another birthday to do. LaurLa, my second teenager book actually had a birthday celebrated, so if you want to take the teenager task back for any reason, we’re good.
No teenagers in my life right now, unfortunately. I'm working on my birthday book and should be done today.
LaurLa, have you seen Louise post anywhere in the last week or so? I get concerned when online friends disappear!
Sorry - I sort of disappeared for a couple days too. No, I haven't actually seen her post but looking at her profile page, she was active posting on Dec 3 for Wheels.
Louise, how is your last book for this one coming?
Updated the spreadsheet with my book, just catching up on updates I need to do

Art is a demonic killer clown who is mute and mimes. He only appears on Halloween nights to wreak havoc and torture. He appears in all black & white carrying a black trash bag with various crude weapons. His face is painted pale white, while his eyes, mouth, and eyebrows are painted black. He wears a white bald cap on his head, complete with a small black hat strapped to the top.
Art is extremely dangerous. He slaughters nearly everyone he encounters. He has supernatural abilities and can induce paralyzing fear in his victims. He will chase, stalk, and terrorize his victims. Then he decides whether to sadistically mutilate them or spare their lives, leaving them with the trauma he has inflicted on them. He never speaks but he will mime screams of pain when injured. Art is very theatrical while killing in a very animated and comedic manner. He silently laughs during his sadistic pursuits. When cornered, he does exhibit cowardly tendencies. He will cheat or shoot himself rather than deal with the police. His arrogance does tend to crumble when the odds shift and victims fight back.
Complete the following tasks
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books with white covers (minimum 50%)
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with a hat (or more) on the cover
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books that start with a letter in ART (team must choose one letter)
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books with characters with supernatural abilities
I’m good for any of the letters in ART. Any preferences for which we choose?
I have the most options for T but I can actually do any letter.
I have 3 audios downloaded that begin with T
I found books for everything but the hat. I'm sure I'll come across one naturally, right?Just kidding. I'm checking in the Q&A, though, to see if a knight's helmet, or a hoodie with the hood up will work.
I've got mine on the spreadsheet. I've finished one but the white cover might take me a minute or two to get to. Although it starts with O and I need that in a few places this month.

That's a no on both of my hat ideas. So it'll be a minute or two (to quote LaurLa) before I get the hat done.
I'll trade you a Hat for a Judge.... 🤣Guess that won't work. I have a couple of books with hats, so let me know if you want to trade something here.

Let me see what comes up in my White Elephant tasks. I may get to a hat sooner than expected.
