C: No Clowning Around

[❡MaRisa]

As far as previous Roundups went, a lot of tasks were like the example ones in the rules, like spellouts, series number, etc. So I'd dare say that Sweet Tooth had one of the more difficult tasks 🤔 I imagine that there will also be words that have to come up in the title or series title, like blood or something. That also came up a few times. I just hope there is no zombie we have to look for in the title again, that was one of the hardest tasks for me since I do not usually read anything with zombies xD But I doubt it will come up 🤣

[❡MaRisa]

oh-oh, what if "clown" has to come up?? 😭

I would prefer clown in the text haha

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

Ok.

I'd prefer that too xD Stuff in titles is pretty though sometimes xD

[❡MaRisa]

I'm done with my ice cream book 🫡

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

Was it delicious?

[❡MaRisa]

Nice one xD It was okay, a cute little summer read ^^

[Alyana]

should I check us in?

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

We have sent Sweet Tooth to the dentist. 😀

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)

[Alyana]

Oh no shapeshifters!!

[❡MaRisa]

Oohh nice! Those tasks speak to me ngl xD
I’d like to snatch up the letter N since I’m reading Ninth House anyways for the formal buddy read 👀

And C if you two are fine with it, since I wanted to read Clockwork princess this month too

[Alyana]

Go for it Risa.. I got the L for now.. I'll check my books what else fits.

👍🏼

[❡MaRisa]

I switched Clockwork princess for my shapeshifter task, I have books for any remaining letter so I'll just read the N book now and decide based on what we have left when I'm done with that ^^

[Alyana]

Risa, can I trade my shapeshifter task to you?

[❡MaRisa]

Sure :) Which one do you want to trade for?

[❡MaRisa]

I can also just take it over, I don't mind.

[Alyana]

But you cannot take the whole chain right? I can take one of your spider prompt or 25/27 page count prompt.

No I can't unfortunately, I'd love to take all three over since it's my genre but rules xD
Since the SPIDER one would net us a lot of points being also a formal buddy read I'd suggest the page count one ^^

No I can't ..."

Okay I'll find something for the page count prompt. Thank you!

No Problem 👍🏼

[❡MaRisa]

I'll finish Ninth House tomorrow, I'm picking the letter W next if that's okay?

Edit: Wait I saw you picked W Alyana, then I'll go for O ^^

[Alyana]

Yeah sorry, I'm almost done with that book...

[❡MaRisa]

Alyana wrote: "Yeah sorry, I'm almost done with that book..."

Nothing to be sorry about xD I do have books for every letter, I'm happy to read either^^

[❡MaRisa]

Alyana your stars really aligned with the spellout xD I looked at it today and you already did most of it almost alone 🤣 I'll probably finish O tomorrow 👍🏼

[Alyana]

I know! So happy! I'm starting the books that I have claimed for the other tasks too :)

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I can do one for E in spider.

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I can take C for spellout.

[❡MaRisa]

The spellout is done as soon as I finish my O book, you should be good to go for the rest since I'll probably be done tomorrow.

[❡MaRisa]

the rest as in the normal chains

[❡MaRisa]

All right, spellout is done, we're good to go for the normal chains!

[Alyana]

❡Risa wrote: "All right, spellout is done, we're good to go for the normal chains!"

Woohoo! I can finish my two books now :)

[❡MaRisa]

18 points for one book is absolutely bonkers 😂🎉

[Alyana]

Oh wow, I wish I could do that! Long books makes me go slump unfortunately.

[❡MaRisa]

It wasn't the page number, it was the Tier 3 Buddy Read Bonus that was so juicy xD

[❡MaRisa]

But it took me the entire week to read also, even being of one of my most read genres. The discussing it portion does take some time to dedicate to taking notes...

[Alyana]

I finished my claimed books for this clown :)

[❡MaRisa]

Nice! I hope you liked them?

I'm probably gonna finish one of my current books today, but it's gonna take me a few more days to finish the last one, depends on how much I can listen to it on the weekend.

[Alyana]

Yes I liked some of them and some are so so.

[❡MaRisa]

What about you Jayme? We have neither read anything from you here, nor have I seen you finish a book in over a week, is everything okay?

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

Yes, i had to finish a book for another challenge. I will be starting one today.

[Alyana]

Jayme(theghostreader) wrote: "Yes, i had to finish a book for another challenge. I will be starting one today."

Do any of your finished books work for the current clown tasks?

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

No,

[Alyana]

Jayme(theghostreader) wrote: "No,"

Okay, just to let you know that the remaining tasks are yours.

[❡MaRisa]

So I'm halfway done with my last book, I can pick up one more from your tasks Jayme, I can pick up one more set in Maine. I can't takeover your shifter task though, since I already read two for that chain. If you can't find a book for it, I recommend browsing the lists here on goodreads, there are actually some good books that aren't on the nose werewolf romance books like a lot of the shifter stuff is. For example, I'm currently reading It by Stephen King for this task. Or even Beauty and the Beast would work, or a book with anyone changing their form in any way. It doesn't have to be Werewolves ^^

I know, i am starting Eleven on top today.

[❡MaRisa]

Jayme, could you tell me today if you want to let me take over your Maine task? I'll finish my last Pennywise book today and would like to know if I should save the book for Killjoy or use it for your Maine task.
