Lopsided Library Wagon (4)

She answered it's fine if there's more than one person, so I'll go ahead with that one. Planned to also read for another challenge this week.

[Denise, Manufacturing Director]

Excellent!
I've got several lined up that'll work for the 70 miles tasks, so I'll be sure to get two of those done.

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

Thank you Denise :)

Glad they covered my book as working as have it for the Vamp wars team too as a potential bonus and it's shorter lol

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

This is Week 3 of your journey West to Oregon. Each team member will read a book that will take them 70 miles.

To go 70 miles, read a book:
with the numbers 7 and 0 in the publication date - OR -
written by an author whose first, middle, or last initial can be found in MILES - OR -
with a title that begins with a letter found in THE OREGON TRAIL (you can use or ignore 'A', 'An', 'The')

*******************************************************

You received the Broken Arm Calamity Card.

Hopefully you will have earned the Supply Card that blocks this Calamity in Week 1.

If you don't have the Supply Card, one team member will need to read the task to counteract the Calamity. You will miss out on the 70 miles that that team member's book would add to the total mileage for that week.

Option 2 - a team member can read two (2) books during the week to make up the 70 miles that the person reading for the Supply Card will not accomplish. The two books must both meet the criteria for traveling the 70 miles.

Option 3 - two or more team members can 'buddy read' a book. The book must meet the criteria for traveling or the Supply Card for the Calamity. The one (1) book will counteract the Calamity and travel the necessary 70 miles.


Rules
You can't begin reading your book until Monday morning, 12:01 a.m. your time.
You must finish and report your book by Sunday night 11:59 p.m. your time.
Books must be 140 pages or more.
Audio books must be at least 3 hours long.
Graphic Novels must be at least 200 pages.

[Jill]

Broken arm uses the medicine supply card, so we're prepared for that this week.

This is Week 4 of your journey West to Oregon. You have reached Challengeville. It's time to rest. You can read any book you choose that is at least 140 pages or more.

Your team also needs to decide which Supply Card you will restock. No one needs to read the task for the Card. Just let me know which Card you picked in your Team's Completion Post.


Rules
You can't begin reading your book until Monday morning, 12:01 a.m. your time.
You must finish and report your book by Sunday night 11:59 p.m. your time.
Books must be 140 pages or more.
Audio books must be at least 3 hours long.
Graphic Novels must be at least 200 pages.

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

Oh, nice. We can do a restock without reading for one. Do you guys choose Clothes or Medicine? We still have our others unused.

[Denise, Manufacturing Director]

Hmmmm... maybe restock medicine since that's needed for two different calamities? Dunno if it's likely we'll end up with Extreme Cold a second time.

***ETA: Lanelle just mentioned in the Q&A that calamities won't be repeated, so we shouldn't need clothes again.

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

Okay great, medicine then since it can cover another calamity we haven't done.

[Lynnette]

Trying to see if I have a book that fits.

[Denise, Manufacturing Director]

Lynnette wrote: "Trying to see if I have a book that fits."

Don't need to! Any book over 140 pages works for this week, we'll get the requested supply card "for free". :)

I really hope that rereads are okay. The book that I started for this week was not going to get done, so I quickly reread this one. Fingers crossed.

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

I haven't seen any comments that re-reads won't work, so should be fine.

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

Checked us in

[Denise, Manufacturing Director]

Mine's a re-read too, just assumed they're fine unless explicitly stated otherwise. :)

[Jill]

LOL, mine was a re-read as well

[Lanelle, Production Chief]

I'm a big re-reader. I would never forbid re-reads!
