I’d like to take author’s initials in SLIMER

[Jenny]

I can certainly do Battle, and I will have a quick look to see if the page counts work for anything I am planning on reading.

[Jenny]

I also found one for 38 intact in page count. I'm happy to do either.

[RachelG.]

My next book happens to have 50 in the page count or I can do battle depending on what Vicki decides.

[Vicki]

Oh my gosh, guys, I'm SO sorry I lost track and didn't to this sooner.

Rachel, I read a battle book, so I'll do that one. Thanks SO much for your patience.

[RachelG.]

I'm glad you posted Vicki because I lost track as well. I will post my book with 50 in the page count.

Are we still playing this one? I don't know what's going on with this challenge. Are we just waiting for Carrie?

[Carrie]

Yep - just me. Sorry. I’m reading the book now. I’ve just been crazy busy. I apologize for taking so much time and keep everyone waiting.

[Jenny]

Waiting and waiting and waiting. Our fingers numb from drumming them on the table.

Teehee.

We are the team of turtles in this challenge and that just the way it is. Ghost Turtles! It is almost a good band name.

Rowan the Destroyer:



Rowan North has taken the form of Rowan the Destroyer. This form is a gigantic, cartoonish version of the Ghostbusters' logo wearing a bow tie. Instead of being friendly, he is terrifying with sharp teeth, a menacing grin, and glowing red eyes that contrast with his marshmallow-like white body. He can manipulate his size and tower over the city. He also summons and controls other ghosts. Your team's mission is to capture him.

👻Read a book that terrifies you

👻Read a book with a white cover (min 50%)

👻Read a book with a bow tie on the cover

[Jenny]

I don't have any books planned with a bow tie on the cover and of course I just finished one with a white cover. I am about to start one that takes place in Tokyo, and I could probably figure out the terrifying book.

My first choice- set in any city.

[RachelG.]

I can do any of these, so will wait to see what's left.

[Carrie]

I would prefer a book that terrifies you.

[RachelG.]

Vicki, would you be able to do white cover? I found a book with a bow tie that looks really good.

Thanks Vicki! I found a good cozy mystery where the woman on the cover has a bow tie on. I hope to finish it within the next couple days.

[Vicki]

I hope it's a good one for you, Rachel. :)

Muncher:



Your team is being sent to Summerville, OK to investigate a disturbance. A class 5 free-floating metal muncher has been spotted in the Summerville Foundry. Once you arrive, you see a bite mark with blue ectoplasm dripping and it lands on player 3. Player 2 observes Muncher near the ceiling chewing on a pipe. Player 4 makes noise to distract it. Muncher stops and looks around momentarily but then continues. Player 1 whistles but this is a mistake. Muncher spits metal projectiles at the team causing all of you to duck. Muncher takes off and your team has to chase him all over town.

Mini Pufts:



These mini pufts looked like they were just having fun at the grocery store, making smores of themselves. They were cute then. Now they are inside your car. They have multiplied over and over again. There are hundreds of them. They are tampering with your equipment. None of it is working. Looks like you need a new plan. Can you defeat them?



Tasks

👻Read a small book (100-150 pages)

👻Read a book with a car on the cover

👻Read a book with smores (or the items to make a smore) on the cover

👻Read a book where there is a lot of one item on the cover

[Jenny]

The only one I have at the moment is the short book. Unless, a lot of ivy, or flowers or whatever this is works for a lot of one item on the cover-


I can certainly look for the others as well.

[RachelG.]

I have a book that would work for small book or smores on the cover.

ETA- I also have a book with a lot of books on it.

[Jenny]

I think s'mores would be the hardest one to find. Do you mind taking that one?
