During the madness following the invasion of ghosts, a bunch of ghost rats fly out of the 50th Street Subway Station. Balloon ghosts are parading down West 38th Street and 6th Avenue. Lady Slimer is taking a joyride with Slimer in your team's car. Times Square Battle Ghosts are being led against your team by the Ring Leader Ghost at 43rd Street and Broadway. Can your team defeat all of them?

👻Read a book the 38 intact in the page count
👻Read a book with the author's initials in SLIMER
👻Read a book with a battle in the story
I don't love any of these and I know you plan your reading much more than I do, so I can take whatever doesn't work for the rest of you.
I can take any of them. I'll have to search for the page count ones, but I have a SLIMER initials and a book that is bound to have a battle both coming up soon.
I started Harry Potter #3 today. I’m sure there is a battle! I also have a 350 pp book and likely could find something for 38 too.
I found a book with 38, if I could grab that one.
My next book is 503pgs if I can take that one please

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.
Tasks
👻Read a book that terrifies you
👻Read a book with a white cover (min 50%)
👻Read a book set in any city
👻Read a book with a bow tie on the cover
I can do any of these except the 'terrifies you' because that screams horror and that is NOT my forte. I could probably justify one or two emotional ringers I'm reluctant to read because I just don't want to be put through the ringer, but that might be a stretch!
I could do terrifies you or set in any cityI could do the others but I would need some help finding those.
White? Or too grey?
. I'm currently listening to this one, so if it works for white I can take that one.Bowtie or terrifies you would take me awhile. City would be an easy one.
That feels too much gray in it, unfortunately. Does this work for everyone?BERIT 👻Read a book that terrifies you

LaurLa, how's the bow tie coming? Strangling you yet?
Ha! I'll get to it probably on Monday-Tuesday. Finishing my TART book today and another I need to finish for TT.

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.
Tasks
👻Read a book with any metal item on the cover
👻Read a book that is #5 in any series
👻Read a book with a chase scene
👻Read a book with a blue cover (min 50%)
I can do any of them. #5 in series would be my least favorite task.
Let me check but I’m sure I can do any of them
For some reason, blue is hardest for me... I don't have anything immediate for that. Chase or #5 would probably be easiest for me. But I can really do any given time...
How about this?Tasks

Hey team if someone gets a minute and they could look at the past few books I’ve read and tell me if there’s something metal on the cover, that would be awesome! Lol

Lol"On Mary Jane I see a metal eyelet on her skirt, right at the waist below the red of the sweater, between her arm and the record on the lower left side of the cover.
On No One Was Supposed to Die at This Wedding I see binder clips on the script that one lady is holding. Those have metal ends. Suspenders would have metal on the clips, which you can see. And the lady on the far right is wearing jewelry that looks to have gold around the stone.

Not trying to rush you. Just making sure I hadn't missed it. And a gentle nudge just in case you read and forgot to post. Which happens to all of us!
