GB: Snakes Ain't Afraid of No Ghosts (continuing)

[Berit☀️✨]

there are some groups that get really weird about omnibuses and anthology. I think it's a page count thing.

[Louise]

I can cover white or 700 + with Riders

[LaurLa]

Louise I would really appreciate if you did the 700 pp. I'd be forever in your debt 😜😁 Seriously!

[Laura]

So is this what we have:

Berit: sailor
Laura: travels a lot
LaurLa: white
Louise: 700 pages

[Berit☀️✨]

We okay here?

[Laura]

Yes. Louise just got back from a vacation.

[Laura]

I just finished an audio that the print edition is 739 pages. Before I ask Donna about using it, I'm going to message Louise about her book.

[Donna, Chief Inspector]

Audio books must be minimum 3 hours long to be used

[Laura]

Donna wrote: "Audio books must be minimum 3 hours long to be used"

Yes. I was waiting to hear back from Louise about her 700+ page book and if she hadn't read it yet, we could ask you about one person doing 2 tasks for a ghost.

[Louise]

Sorry everyone finished my book whilst on holiday, trying to catch up on everything.

Scoleri Brothers:



The Scoleri Brothers, Nunzio & Tony are a ghostly pair of psychopathic brothers. They are killers who were sentenced in 1948 by Judge Stephen "the Hammer" Wexler for murder and sentenced to death by execution. The execution was performed at Ossining Prison via the electric chair. It's been over 40 years and some negatively charged Psychomagnotheric slime (or mood slime) among some court exhibits has manifested the Scoleri brothers in their ghostly electric chairs. Can you and your team capture them?



Tasks

👻Read a book with a hammer on the cover

👻Read a book with a character who has to go to court or works in a courtroom

👻Read a book with all the letters of JUDGE in the title

👻Read a book with 40 intact in the page count (example 340 pages)

[Laura]

I don't have any Hammers right now, but I can find something for any of the others.

[LaurLa]

Darn it - I knew I had a book with the male cover model holding what I thought was a hammer but only the handle is visible ☹️


I guess I'll go on a quest. I can't think of anything else I might have.

[LaurLa]

I found a few on this listopia If I Had a Hammer. FInding a lot of axes but there are a couple hammers.

I have this series to read and I hate reading out of order but I can do it for my snakes 😁


I'm also considering this one but cozy mysteries aren't my favorite, but it would keep me from reading the series I actually want to read out of order (if that makes any sense...). There are a few hammers on covers in this series, actually.


But if there's anything on the list someone else would like to read (or has another book), I can do any of the other tasks too

[Berit☀️✨]

I can do any of them, hammer I'd have to do some searching and you'd all have to help me out. Let me look at that list.

[Berit☀️✨]

I can do hammer, I found a book on audible for free. LaurLa enjoy the Tessa Bailey series that's a fun one.

[Louise]

I’ve got 22 Seconds for character who has to go to court

I have multiple options for 40 intact in page count

[Laura]

Is this what we have?

Tasks

Berit - 👻Read a book with a hammer on the cover

Louise - 👻Read a book with a character who has to go to court or works in a courtroom

LaurLa - 👻Read a book with all the letters of JUDGE in the title

Laura - 👻Read a book with 40 intact in the page count (example 340 pages)

[Louise]

Looks good to me.

[LaurLa]

I think I spoke too quickly about JUDGE in title - does some else have it handy and can switch? If not, I can manage it but it will be a little while. I only have one and it's way off my radar.

Let me see what I can find.

[LaurLa]

Don't stress if you can't. It's my own fault. When I did my title search originally, I misspelled judge - I left out the g... I have a few more with JUDE in the title. Too bad that's not the word 😜

[Laura]

I found one. Had quite a few options that I didn't want to re-read. And my library didn't have Judgement In Death, which I would have totally done a re-read of. But my library did have the audio of Never Judge a Lady by Her Cover.

[LaurLa]

So you're JUDGE-y and I'm 40? (How I wish that were true... me being 40 that is, not you being judge-y!)

[Laura]

I can't even say I'm in my 40s anymore! But yes, I'm JUDGE-y!

I guess I did miss it but we are intact as a team as of right now. I personally would like to keep playing as long as we all want to stay together to finish but I'll let the others respond as well. When do we need to tell you?

[Donna, Chief Inspector]

By the end of the month preferably. I just wanted to make sure you saw the post.

Army of Ghosts {Jogger Ghost, City of Albany Ghost Train, Cinema Ghost, Mink Coat Ghost, Washington Square Ghost, Titanic Ghost}





There are several calls across the city and your team is kept busy with these calls. There is a jogger ghost in Central Park, some random floating heads, the City of Albany Ghost train that derailed in the 1920s, a cinema ghost, a mink coat ghost, the Washington Square ghost, and the Titanic ghost. Your mission is to get things under control before the city is overwhelmed by ghosts.



Tasks

👻Read a book with a train on the cover

👻Read a book set in Washington state

👻Read a book with all the letters of TITANIC in the title

👻Read a book where someone goes to a movie

[Laura]

I'll have to search for any of these, so I'll take whatever is left after you guys decide.

[Berit☀️✨]

OK, can I grab Titanic?
