MountainKat | 32111 comments Here is your next task!

Task 10 - 64. Read 6 books not set on a continent of a teammate. Space does not count - must be a real continent.

Determine the continents the members of your team lives on, using the 7 continent model. (You can look on wikipedia for a definition.) Select books that are not set on any continent of a teammate. This is not a team decision, you can use any continent on which a member of your team does not reside. Remember to let me know how you know your book qualifies, be it title, precis, book details, tags or lists. I need to know where to look to confirm your books.

How was our Morrissey, ?


message 176: by Trio (new)

Trio | 2833 comments I'm just done now so I'll post our completion

Oh my gosh, he was great Janine! I can't imagine how he does it, but he gets better every year! His confidence is bigger than ever lol, such a cocky lad. It was a great venue too - a pretty new Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey so we stayed right there overnight.

It was great :)

MountainKat | 32111 comments Here is your next task!

Task 11 - 36. Read 6 books with animals on the cover.

Books selected for this task need to have an animal on the cover, real or mythical. Any edition’s cover can be used to qualify. Please include the qualifying cover in your completion posts. Shifters count, but must be in animal form on the cover. The depiction on the cover needs to represent the actual animal - so a dragon on the cover works, a statue or tattoo of a dragon does not. Not a team decision.

I almost went with The Anaconda Downstairs (The Cocky Kingmans, #4) by Amy Award
but I was lucky enough to find a Christmas book with a dog on the cover, so I can knock off my Bingo book too.

Though we might need this one too since we need six 😂.

Janeylou | 3054 comments I didnt do xmas bingo ..def too mu h with it being 2 calls a week.
We do have a few big ones finishing in next week so hopefully start to calm down a bit


message 185: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 3054 comments Trio have you seen the My Chem ticket prices 😳😳😳. Are gigs normally that expensive over there .
When i went to see them few years ago , only £75 for pitch


message 186: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (bookoutbelow) | 4155 comments We have a big problem with resellers. So people (a lot of times using bots) will buy them all up and drive up the prices really high then resell them.


message 187: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 3054 comments We have the same problem tbh but im talking about the original prices.
I know 'the bigger the venue' but this is ridiculous.
Something need to be done about ticket prices .
A few years ago the government got involved with football tickets and now cant sell above face value , but noone seems interested in music .
The OASIS tour tickets were going for almost £1000 ..( god knows why as they were bloody awful.when i saw them 😄😄)


message 188: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (bookoutbelow) | 4155 comments Yeah I looked up Chicago prices after I commented and the original tickets are still $450!!

I saw MCR a couple times in HS with other pretty popular acts like Taking Back Sunday, Rise Against, Fall Out Boy, etc. and there’s absolutely no way I even paid $100 for them. I bet they were $50 max


message 189: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 3054 comments No for my dinosaur skeleton book so will take another look later

message 197: by Trio (new)

Trio | 2833 comments yes!!! The My Chem prices are insane. I have two choices between the big stadium in New Jersey and they'll be in Philadelphia too. I'm surprised they didn't select a date in NYC yet. And it's a summer, so why not Jones Beach?

What happened last time was they came out saying they were only playing the few shows (this was in 2019) and then COVID happened... then they kind of got back togther and that last tour was such a huge success.

I've decided to wait and see, because I'll bet anything they'll add more shows.
