Hooked on Books discussion

That looks good. I'm going to see if the library has it.

I did borrow the audiobook version from Libby and I think that was the only version available for me. Which is fine cuz I love listening to the accents on the audiobook version.

The Djinn was good. I would’ve liked more djinn in it but the ending was really good.

So for Cleaver - Leg 2. Trap has to be in the title only, not title/series? I am hoping I am being too nit-picky about the wording.

I actually had the same question but I think you are right - title only because in the next 4 tasks it states title/series for one of those!

I took it to mean title only as well. I do have a couple more that count if you don’t have any.

I also just finished a book that had an adopted MC that was a surprise plot point so I can cover that one if needed.

I have now completed my books for this clown so y'all let me know if you need me to read anything else.

Wow - Shaw - you seriously kick butt with reading! I need to check the sheet and see where I'm at.

Okay - just looked - I have 4 of the 8 tasks finished. I'm going to check the books I have ready to read and see which of the tasks they may work for! I'll let you know 😊

Shaw,

Do you want to take my tagged family task?

Absolutely I can! I actually just finished a book that will count!

Perfect! Thanks 😊

I am just about to finish a book with a family business if y'all need me to cover a book for Lil Miss Cleaver Leg 1.

That is all I have left if you want to use it for that task. That would be appreciated as I don't have a book lined up for that one yet.

@Carrie - I have a book I could read next for T-R-A-P in title. Do you need help with that one? I could help with a different one as well if needed.

Shaw,

Can you use your book for my family business one please?

Christine,

Thanks - if you want to read for TRAP I would appreciate it.

Then all I have left is the adopted one - I was hoping the one I read would have covered it but it just says her parents died and she was in the foster system so it's not going to work...

I can cover the adopted one if you havw one for the family business. Christine didn’t havw one for that so I used my book for that.

Okay - I’ll grab one for family business. Thanks 😊

Do you want me to find one for C-L-E-A-V-E-R or you got one for that as well?

@Shaw- I found a book for family business if you would like to switch your book to Carrie. I can probably have that done later today tomorrow at the latest. Then the Trap book is going to take me until probably Saturday.

Ok- I’ll remove my adopted one.

I am reading my family one either way. It's super-fast. We don't have to use it if Carrie has a family business book already.

I can delete my second family business book instead if Carrie has already started one that will count.

I have not started the family business one and I do not have the adopted one.

I have books for CLEAVER and TRAP but if someone else has finished and wants to claim them, that works for me as well.

My TRAP one is short and I can get it done quickly.

Ok- I’ll keep my family business one on there and add my adopted one back on the spreadsheet tonight.

I just added my family business book. If Carrie is reading for Trap, that leaves us with a book for CLEAVER.

Shaw - are you reading for that one already? I will go looking for one right now. I am sure I can use anything I find for another challenge if you finish one first.

I can read a book for CLEAVER if we need it as I have one that fits that I’m reading for UNO anyway.

Ha! I was just starting one for UNO as well :)

I do need it for the mini UNO challenge as well so I’ll finish it tomorrow morning but Sunday night at the latest.

I just finished my CLEAVER book- it was a Perry Mason so it was finished faster than expected.

Checked us in and requested Ribcage!

Thank you! Nice work Ladies :)

Ribcage

Ribcage is a supernatural killer clown. He targets his victims by sending them a balloon marked with the dates of their impending death dates & times. He appears emaciated and skeletal with a gaunt face and hollow eyes.
He haunts his victims day & night including in their dreams. He can project his voice. He can appear and disappear at will which adds a psychological layer to his terror.

Complete the following tasks
Arm1: Read a chain of 3 books with a balloon on the cover
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books tagged Psychological
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books with all the letters of SKELETAL in the title/series
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books with the author's initials in DREAMS

That balloon one had me a bit worried but I did find a couple of books for that so it's all good. I have one for DREAMS initials and I'm sure I can find one or two for psychological. Skeletal will take a bit of searching though.

I do have two of my books done but it will be after April starts before I can get to the remaining two. I have to finish up too many UNO books so I need shorter books from now until then.

I'll have to have a look and see what I have for these!

No worries Shaw - You'll still beat me to the punch lol

Hey all, sorry I haven't check in. I believe I will have a book finished for my last task this evening. Tomorrow at the latest. Does anyone need a hand?

I am also on my last book as I’ve switched out my SKELETAL task book. I should be finished Saturday or Sunday morning.

Do you want my SKELETAL?

Carrie wrote: "Do you want my SKELETAL?"

I could absolutely take it. I was going to read the other book anyway it will just take a couple days longer.

Thanks so much. I'm reading for my psychological one now and hope to be finished soon (I'm traveling Monday - Wednesday this week so I may not be on for a few days)

Carrie - Do you want me to try and find another Balloon book?

I’ve finished the last of my books now.

Sorry that I never replied Christine. I finished my psychological book and was getting ready to start on a balloon book.

I know you read faster but if you have other challenges and can't get to it, that's okay. Let me know.

Sorry everyone. I have Covid and have been really sick. I will see if I can find a quick book for tomorrow.

That sucks! I would say don’t worry about that last book then- if Carrie doesn’t have one I can cover it.

Christine,

I help you are feeling better soon!! Covid is the worst!! Don't worry about the book. It's so hard to read when you feel awful. Get some rest and feel better soon.

Shaw,

That would be great if you have time to take it. I would appreciate it. I looked through books I have and on my kindle and couldn't believe I didn't have anything that works. I can always look on KU though. There is probably something there.

I got it - I had a book or two that I was deciding between so I will just quickly read one of them. No worries.

Thanks so much Shaw!

Thank you both!!

We're all checked in and Tickles is up next
