[Trisha]

We need:
⚔️ Gather your fellowship of five—four Librarians and one Guardian.

Is anyone hoping to be Guardian?

[Claire]

I only do it if no one else wants. Don’t want to mess up things and very bad at computer stuff 😉

[Vicki]

I am not confident to be the guardian, but I will be a good librarian.

[bamaace83]

Hey everyone! With my work and real life craziness, I probably won't be the best Guardian. I can probably come in to assist at times but I work healthcare, flu season is very dumb this year, and I just might not be on every night. Librarian might be a better choice for me.

[Vicki]

Although this doesn't start until January 15, someone asked in the Q/A about starting prior to then and this was the response: The challenge technically kicks off on the 15th—but since it’s self-paced, early birds get a perk! Teams who’ve already checked in and received their tasks are free to start right away. 🏁📚

So we can start as soon as we are all checked in and post it to The Vault.

[Angie ☯]

Hi everyone! I'm sorry to be late to the party. Let me go read up on what is needed for Librarians and Guardian. I can be whatever you want me to be! Lol

Since I was the late arrival, I checked us in.

================================================

Trisha or Claire - do either of you want to be the Guardian?

I am happy to be a Librarian, unless the Library is extending the invitation to me. (meaning, no one else wants the role!! 😄)

[Vicki]

Thanks, Angie :)

Season 1, Episode 1:
And the Crown of King Arthur

👑 “A crown with power, a secret society, and a library that chooses its own heroes.”

In Season 1, Episode 1 of The Librarians, a mysterious organization recruits a new Guardian, Eve Baird, to protect the magical Library and its chosen Librarian, Flynn Carsen. Together, they investigate a series of strange murders linked to Excalibur and the lost crown of King Arthur. Along the way, they discover a hidden group of potential Librarians and face off against the Serpent Brotherhood, who seek to unleash dangerous magic.


Tasks (Reminder: Each of you must choose a different task)
👑Read a book with a crown on the cover
🐍Read a book that starts & ends with a letter in SERPENT
🧑Read a book with a character named EVE or FLYNN, or ARTHUR
🗡️Read a book with all the letters of EXCALIBUR in the title/subtitle/series
👦👦Read a book with brothers in the story

[Claire]

No me, please. I am awful in computerstuff and tend to misunderstand English 😂

[Vicki]

Angie, if you don't mind taking the Guardian position, I think we would like you to be Guardian.

[Trisha]

I'd rather not be guardian but would if needed 😊

[Trisha]

wow, tough tasks!!

I could easily do #2
I'm sure I could locate a book for 3 or 5

1 and 4 would be a real struggle for me to read for.

[Vicki]

I have a book that fits both SERPENT and brothers in the story, so if Trisha can read for SERPENT I can take BROTHERS, if that works for everyone else.

[Claire]

I can take any task, but depending on which one, it might take more time. I have to search for them but sure to find them

[bamaace83]

I'm sure that I can find a book to fit whatever is left. My first choice of the remaining three would be crown on the cover but I can search for the other two also.

[Vicki]

Just FYI, I will be in Hawaii from January 23 thru February 4. I am taking my laptop so HOPEFULLY I won't have any issues, but you all know me well enough to please feel free to nudge me if it looks like I am forgetting anything (in any challenge).

Oh, Vicki, that will be wonderful, I’m sure. Don’ t think too much about books then.

[Claire]

I will read a book with Eve, Arthur or George in, if that is okay.

[bamaace83]

Sounds good, okay Angie crown or excalibur and I'll find the other one. :)

We are going to get a good little winter storm this weekend so my goal is to knock out random books that I need read. I have a book ready for both crown and excalibur. Just let me know which one you want and I'll take the other one. It seems I have lots of challenges that have already fallen behind and it's January. Oops

[Vicki]

I will try to get my book read by Saturday or Sunday. I'm reading A Long Time Coming

[bamaace83]

I'm here so can jump in as Guardian. I might need a backup if it's a day that I'm not around to check in.

[Angie ☯]

We can team up as Guardian, Anna! That would be awesome.
I was going to tackle it as no one said they wanted to, but I will be out of the country from Feb 13-23. I was wondering how to handle that.

I had repurposed a post to put in links to our completions. Lol, otherwise I can't keep up!

[bamaace83]

Yay! That would be great. I can totally be around for those days. Are you going somewhere fun?

[Angie ☯]

Thanks for checking us in!!

I'm going to Greece. I hope it's fun!

[Vicki]

Oh WOW! That should be amazing, Angie! I can hardly wait to hear all about it!

[bamaace83]

Have a great time! That sounds like so much fun. That's one of the places that I want to go one day.

[Angie ☯]

Thank you,! Doing a tour that starts and ends in Athens, so will get to see a lot of the area.

[Vicki]

I love that for you! My parents went to Greece and it was one of their favorite places, and they went to a lot of places.

[Claire]

Oh enjoy Greece. We didn’t visit it, but enjoyed the islands. It is beautiful there.

[Trisha]

ooh have fun, Angie!

and thanks for getting us checked in, Anna!

Season 1, Episode 2:
And the Sword in the Stone

🗡️ “When Camelot stirs, legends awaken—and the past is far from buried.”

The Serpent Brotherhood is close to unleashing unchecked magic on the world. Flynn, mortally wounded by Excalibur, flees with Eve and the new recruits (Jake, Ezekiel, and Cassandra). They meet Jenkins at the hidden Library Annex, which becomes their new base. To stop the Brotherhood’s ritual under Buckingham Palace, they infiltrate a royal ball, recover Excalibur, and ultimately save Flynn when Cassandra uses the sword’s magic to heal him instead of herself. Flynn departs to restore the missing Library, leaving the new Librarians to begin their own journey under Jenkins’s guidance.

Tasks (Reminder: Each of you must choose a different task)
🗡️Read a book with a sword, crown, or other magical artifact on the cover
🤫Read a book where a hidden sanctuary, archive, or secret place plays a role
🎉Read a book featuring a masquerade, gala, or royal setting
🦸Read a book where a mentor trains or guides a new group of heroes
🚩Read a book where a character must risk their life, health, or future for the greater good

[Trisha]

I think I can read for any of these, but I would be the quickest with Task #2
