That makes sense. I forgot about subtitles and didn’t see a K, so I assumed that couldn’t be what you were doing. :)
I'll fix the SS then if you're good!Thanks!!!
Oh crap! Still doesn't work - missing an LI give up. Going back to my original. You'll just have to wait on me.
Sorry

No worries. But I am reading a book this week that works for skeletal. Just in case you don't want to try to fit yours in.
I found a short book to squeeze in today. Then balloons tomorrow.Clouds?
Nebula? (ha ha!)
Okay, thank-you for your patience with me. I am finally done and checking us in!

The Heads are a group of clowns that kidnap a group of people to play a game with them within a haunted house. They are given 12 hours to survive while the clowns try to kill them. The clowns are named Doom-Head, Psycho-Head, Schizo-Head, Death-Head, Sex-Head and Sick-Head.
Sick-Head is a midget that looks like a Hispanic Hitler complete with swastika. Psycho-head and Schizo-Head are chainsaw-wielding brothers. Death & Sex have those words actually written on their chests and are reminiscent of a BDSM duo. Doom-Head is the creepiest of the bunch.
Your team has been assigned Schizo-Head
Spell out your assigned head.

I always forget, so here's the spell-out options:Title, Author, First & Last initial, Series
I finished an In Death book shortly after this was posted, so I'll add that in for the I.
Current reads: I have an O author, but it's an H title/S series.
I also have a C author with an E series.
I'm going to grab the C and an H with these two, but they can be moved as needed. And I'll put my I down.
There are 10 letters. So that's 3 each, and 4 for one of us.
I have 2 Hs coming up, so I added to one of them. I added S and A. I'll wait to see what else is needed and who has what but I do also have an E author coming up and a D author.
Louise, Open letters: Z, O, E, D
I have an H spot, but it works for O and a C spot, but it works E.
Do these letters work for you, or do we need to rework our letters?
And who wants to take the Z?
I do have a Rebecca Zanetti book on my short list... not just the TW short list 😂 But I can take it and hopefully read it this month!It has beautiful smoke clouds on it - too bad!

I can do O, E, D
I'll take the Z... I reread my comment above. Just want to clarify when I said "this month" I really meant "next month" - things are so crazy for me right now that I forget September hasn't actually ended yet! But I'll put my book at the top of my list for October!!
Finished my 3. Let me know if I can/need to help out with any of the others.
If you stumble across a Z, my feelings won't be hurt!
That was quick Laura. I am waiting on a Z to come in from the Library for my summer song shuffle. Finishing off my TW books then onto these

Checked us in we have 6 clowns remaining
Mod
The lunatics were three psychos who escaped from a mental hospital when a circus was in town. They murdered three clowns and took their costumes as their own. All three clowns are deranged with violent tendencies. Each has their own distinct look and behavior but all are equally menacing acting in almost near silence.
Cheezo: The leader of the trio. He has an eerie calm about him.
Bippo: The most aggressive, known for erratic and unpredictable behavior.
Dippo: The quietest of the three and most malevolent.
You have been assigned to capture Dippo

Oh, I also finished an O yesterday. But I also have an I with Sanctuary. I'll claim that and look for a P or D.Edit: claimed the D and I. I'll check back before taking any more.
I should be able to also do a P. I spent yesterday evening in the ER with my daughter for abdominal pains. Luckily it's gastritis and 2 weeks of Nexium should clear it up. But not a lot of reading happening then.
Oh no! Glad it's relatively simple issue - hope it gets better soon!
Thanks. I think she’s mostly embarrassed that it wasn’t something obviously serious. But she was in a lot of pain and is feeling better now.
I was curious to see if Donna was just trying to make the Clowns end quicker and that's why we're getting spell-outs now, but according to the check-in thread there are teams that did these 2 in the first month or so and the spell-out was the task. Maybe we already did most of the difficult ones?
Mod
Looks like we're just waiting on me. If either of you have finished a P, feel free to take that spot. Otherwise, I hope to have mine done later today. I need it for Amazing Race!
I have no P.... I may have to P often but right now I have no P 😂

Archie Benjamin played Horny the Clown at his family's restaurant. This caused him to get picked on a lot by his peers. On his birthday, they played a prank which caused the restaurant to catch on fire resulting in his death. Four years later, Archie comes back from the dead to get his revenge. He is a demonic version of Horny the Clown.
Complete the following tasks
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books with fire on the cover
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books that are book 4 in any series
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books that start with a letter in HORNY (the team must choose one letter)
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books with the author's initials in ARCHIE
I'm currently reading The Rose & the Dagger, so I could go with choosing R for Leg 1. Otherwise we should wait to pick a letter until after the new Turf Wars tasks come out so we can pick books there.
Laura wrote: "I'm currently reading The Rose & the Dagger, so I could go with choosing R for Leg 1. Otherwise we should wait to pick a letter until after the new Turf Wars tasks come out so we ca..."Want to go for R, that would help with the CRP task?
EDIT: plus you already suggested it 😶
EDIT 2: I have books for all of these but probably not quickly...

As Louise said above, 5 with the one we’re working on now. We just started at the top of the list and are working our way down.

Donna wrote: "Sorry, I am just cleaning up threads. I didn't see the above comment. Just wanted to see where everyone was."I figured you were just trying to calculate how much longer it's going to last!
Mod
I think I've finished all of mine for Horny! Woot woot!
LaurLa wrote: "I think I've finished all of mine for Horny! Woot woot!"You were Speedy Gonzalez this time! I'm going to try to fit my #4 in series into the next round of Turf Wars. Hopefully.
I should have my last book for this clown finished tomorrow.
Laura wrote: "I should have my last book for this clown finished tomorrow."Done!
Louise, I don't have any extra books with fire on them, but I did read several Ilona Andrews books during Turf Wars in case you need help with the ARCHIE initials task.
Halfway through my fire book just taking me a bit longer than usual
