❡MaRisa (risamareads) | 690 comments Also, keep in mind please that the minimum of books read for this challenge is 1 per week. You don't have to read big books, a 100 page book works too.
If you can't make it, please tell us beforehand at least. I don't mind taking over books for you, but I think communication is very important in team challenges.

❡MaRisa (risamareads) | 690 comments Since there was no answer I'm not taking over your task then I guess... Not gonna lie, this is getting frustrating even for me.


Jayme(theghostreader) (jaymetheghostreader) | 692 comments You can take over my Maine task and I will work on Eleven On Top.


Jayme(theghostreader) (jaymetheghostreader) | 692 comments I checked the SS, I didn't have a Maine task.

Alyana  | 1916 comments You didn't put a book there yet.

❡MaRisa (risamareads) | 690 comments Everyone has the same tasks, apart from the Spellout. For the Spellout we had to decide who takes which letter. I had already prepped the SS a bit, putting our names and the task descriptions in (Or Alyana has, I don't remember who did what xD). You need to fill in the books yourself, since I don't know which books you want to read for the tasks. I can fill out your part on the SS if you want that, you'll just need to post it here then.

❡MaRisa (risamareads) | 690 comments I'm going to read for your Maine task then. But remember that the SS is just as updated as we fill it in, the actual tasks Donna always posts here in the thread. And the core rules didn't change, it's a task per chain, and four chains that we all 3 need to complete, sometimes one or more spellouts. That means at least 4 books for each clown, sometimes more, per person.


Jayme(theghostreader) (jaymetheghostreader) | 692 comments I am finished with Eleven On Top.

❡MaRisa (risamareads) | 690 comments I've been reading a bit less this week, but I will probably finish Jayme's Maine task book on the weekend.

❡MaRisa (risamareads) | 690 comments Nevermind, I finished it today 😅


Jayme(theghostreader) (jaymetheghostreader) | 692 comments I started The Jane Austen Book Club for 25 0r 27 in page count.

Alyana  | 1916 comments Hi Jayme, do you have a book for the shapeshifter task?


Jayme(theghostreader) (jaymetheghostreader) | 692 comments I thought that was covered.


Jayme(theghostreader) (jaymetheghostreader) | 692 comments I have one I can read but I have to finish the one I am reading.

I was looking for a backup. I found one on my tbr, just asked to make sure.


Jayme(theghostreader) (jaymetheghostreader) | 692 comments That's fine.


message 168: by Alyana (new)

Alyana  | 1916 comments I finished the shapeshifter book :)

❡MaRisa (risamareads) | 690 comments Nice!


Jayme(theghostreader) (jaymetheghostreader) | 692 comments About halfway through my second book.


Jayme(theghostreader) (jaymetheghostreader) | 692 comments Finished my second book.


message 172: by Alyana (new)

Alyana  | 1916 comments Great! We are still going by order right? Should we check in?


Jayme(theghostreader) (jaymetheghostreader) | 692 comments Yes,


Jayme(theghostreader) (jaymetheghostreader) | 692 comments You want me to do it?

Yes please, thank you Jayme :)

Killjoy
description
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

❡MaRisa (risamareads) | 690 comments I'mma take the letters I and L if that's okay, I have some books I was dying to read for that one :)

❡MaRisa (risamareads) | 690 comments Lol nvm the L xD
I should look at the SS before writing here xD

❡MaRisa (risamareads) | 690 comments So I took R and I, R I should be done with today since I was already reading something that fits it. I shouldn't take me more than 2 days.

Alyana, I saw you're planning to read a book from Jennifer L. Armentrout I didn't know about, please tell me how it was when you finish it ✨ I read some of her books and she wrote one of my all-time favorite series (Dark Elements & Harbinger, in german it's only one series)!

❡MaRisa (risamareads) | 690 comments Also, our Killjoy is missing his Legs 🤡


message 184: by ❡MaRisa (new)

❡MaRisa (risamareads) | 690 comments Okay so fair warning, this Clown will take me longer to complete my tasks since somehow the big ones ended up fitting it from the books I want to read this year 😅 They are the physical copies too, not audiobooks, so it's going to be a bit slower reading 🙈 I'm sorry 🤦‍♀️

I have stumbled upon that series before so I gave it a try and I liked the first book. Looking forward on the second book and luckily it fit one of the spell-outs for Killjoy.

Should we still ask Donna? Or we can add it ourselves?

No worries! These clowns have tasks that are not easy to do anyway! It will def take me awhile as well 😅

❡MaRisa (risamareads) | 690 comments I asked Donna because we can't edit it ourselves since the table data is protected


message 189: by ❡MaRisa (new)

❡MaRisa (risamareads) | 690 comments Yeah the dessert one was a tough one to find a book for, I think the one I ended up going for was the only one of my physical TBR it fit xD And my physical TBR is very big

Does your physical books don’t have audio versions? Just curious.

They do, but I don't own them ^^ And I don't want to buy them twice, since they are not included in audible or spotify. Though I think I found one on spotify, I'm still looking 🤔

I have a source for audiobooks. Would you like me to check if they’re available?

Alyana  | 1916 comments About the demon tags, does it need to be an actual demon in the story?

What book do you have in mind?


message 196: by ❡MaRisa (new)

❡MaRisa (risamareads) | 690 comments I think as long as you can call it a demon it counts. I was thinking of maybe switching my book to one with fallen angels, which are considered demons too, but I'm not sure about it yet 🤔

I don’t have any. Haven’t read anything with demons just super mean villains 🙈


message 198: by ❡MaRisa (new)

❡MaRisa (risamareads) | 690 comments You should ask Donna if the demons are up for own interpretation, like a character being called a demon because he is so evil or something.

Would you like to me check if I can find audiobooks for you?

Wou..."


Oh that's kind of you but it should be okay ^^ I found the Count of Monte Cristo on Spotify at least (I'm looking for it in german, it's a bit harder to find than the english version), and I'm currently looking for The Summoner Trilogy (= Die Dämonenakademie) in german but only found the first book on audible and it's unfortunately not included in the membership. But with Monte Cristo being an audiobook, it should be doable this month. I'm predicting me taking until the end of the month for all of the books, I hope that's not too slow 🙈 It would be around 5 days for each book 🤔 I'm just a bit scared of The Goldfinch, since I remember The Secret History taking me a bit to get through and I'm scared of that page number 😅
