GB: I Love Green Ghosts and I Can Not Lie (continuing)

[Jenny]

And I just found one where the characters go to ao movie. So, I am happy with either one of those.

[Carrie]

I’ll take the state of Washington.

[Jenny]

Vicki, do you have a preference between TITANIC and go to the movies?

[RachelG.]

A couple days ago I finally got from the library which is why I was excited to see train on cover. I put in the request while we were still doing TW.

[Jenny]

That series is so much fun.

I started the Movie task book, but the titanic one is very short, so I can still do either.

[Vicki]

Jenny, I haven’t been online much because of health issues. I can look for a book. Does it just need the letters or the actual word?

[Jenny]

Just the letters.
And feel better!
And don't stress!

[Carrie]

Vicki,

Hope you are feeling better soon. Take care of yourself!

Thank you, Carrie 😊

Hi all! Hope everyone has been having a great start to the New Year!

Just updating my challenge list and was wondering if we are still doing this one?

[Jenny]

Happy New Year to you too!

I think so. Let me message Vicki to see if she is still on board. I think we are waiting on her book.

Sounds good. Thanks!

Oh my goodness, I'm SO sorry! I don't know how I overlooked this challenge during the season. I guess with being sick and then blah blah blah...looks like I need a book with all the letters of TITANIC in the title? I'm going to find something hopefully in a few minutes.

Jenny, I am SO sorry I didn't see this and respond. Thank you for messaging me.

[Carrie]

All good Vicki! Hope you're feeling better and that 2025 is starting out well!

[Jenny]

No problem!!
I had a week of getting no notifications at all, until I cleared the cookies from my computer. So weird. I know I missed stuff too.

[Vicki]

I am much better, thank you. :)

[Vicki]

I had a problem getting notifications, but (embarrassing to admit) I don't know how to clear my cookies or cache, etc. :( So my new computer also runs rather slowly.

[Vicki]

OK, I found the book and I'm reading I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom

I'm sTArTINg to worry about this blaCk box of doom

[RachelG.]

I like the title! I am curious to see if you like the book, Vicki.

[Jenny]

I don't know how to do that crap either. But, a quick Google search, and all is explained.

The book you are going to read is one I am curious about as well.
I did like his first book, but haven't read any of the others.

[Carrie]

The description of the book you picked looks interesting. I’ll be curious to see if you like it or not as well. Also wonder how Sci-Fi plays into it…)

[Vicki]

It appears to have so many conflicting opinions about it. Some who loved the author's previous book/books didn't care for it. I'm unsure as of now and I'm about 25% into it. I can't say I am loving it, but I'm not hating it either.

[RachelG.]

I checked us in.

[Vicki]

I'm so sorry I held us up! Thanks for checking us in, Rachel. :)

[RachelG.]

No problem at all and it sure sounds like you have had a lot going on lately. Plus with the holidays and everything going on I know how my days have been out of the ordinary.

[Vicki]

I appreciate you. :)

Dr. Janosz Poha



Dr. Janosz Poha is the head of the Restoration department at the Manhattan Museum of Art. Vigo has him under a mind-control spell and is using him as a servant. He can take the form of a red-eyed, spectral nanny with a baby carriage to abduct a baby for Vigo to possess.



Tasks

👻Read a book with someone who is a servant

👻Read a book with a nanny character

👻Read a book with a baby on the cover

👻Read a book with the author's initials in Poha

[Carrie]

I would like to take the author’s initials in Poha please.

[RachelG.]

I would prefer someone who is a servant or with a nanny character.

[Vicki]

If you take nanny character, I can take servant. That would leave baby on the cover if Jenny can cover baby. If not, I'm sure I can find a book for baby on cover. Jenny, what do you think?

I've kind of gotten out of the swing of this challenge, so when are our books due?

[RachelG.]

The challenge moves as quick as the group does so not really a firm due date. I will grab nanny and see if I can also find option for baby on cover in case Jenny would rather have nanny.

[Vicki]

OK, sounds good :)

[Jenny]

I can go with whatever is left. I don't mind. Just let me know what you find, Rachel.

[RachelG.]

I now have both nanny or baby so feel free to choose one Jenny and I will go with the other.

[Jenny]

If you don't mind, I will go with nanny. Pretty sure one on my TBR has a nanny, and zero have a baby on the cover. I appreciate it!!!!

[RachelG.]

No problem!

Vigo the Carpathian:



Vigo the Carpathian was not well-liked by his people. They poisoned, shot, stabbed, hung, stretched, disemboweled, drawn and quartered him. I guess they wanted to make sure he was dead. Just before he died, he muttered "Death is but a door. Time is but a window. I'll be back!" His ghost took up residence in his portrait which was painted long before his death.



Tasks

👻Read a book with a door on the cover

👻Read a book with a hated character (your interpretation)

👻Read a book with a character who is stabbed

👻Read a book with a portrait on the cover
