Violator

The Violator is the demonic (& true) form of the Clown. His current disguise is that of the Clown, a 5'6 overweight, balding man with menacing face paint. He is the Spawn's mentor and one of the Phlebiac Brothers. He is a very powerful force with superhuman strength the equivalent of 15 strong men. He can breathe fire, shapeshift, possess others, and survive multiple types of attacks except for decapitation from an angel or hellspawn. He views humanity as weak and thinks that demons should lead the armies of Hell, not Spawn. He is determined to prove his superiority to his master. Since he can't kill them without an order, he weakens them by causing them to waste their powers. He has died many times and been reanimated by his master. After the death of the Spawn, Clown started to build his own army to bring down the kingdom of Heaven. He kills anyone who is aware of the Spawn's demise. He isn't "Clowning Around".

Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books with demons
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with angels
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books with a bald character

Yes, bald character is definitely going to be tough to find! And I have a feeling SPAWN won't be easy too, though I haven't checked yet. 🫠

We can use books finished after our last check in (March 26th), right?

Yes after march 26th

I'll have a search through with my Kindle for bald characters. It isn't the MC, so that should make it a bit easier.

I did it...! I finished all my current tasks 🙌🍾🎇🥳🥳🥳

Well donentrio
I still need an angel will try and do before new month starts

I finished as well ..did the same angel as you caipi

.....still need the bald character

Finally finished and checked us in

Twisty

Twisty is a clown with a mental disability. He worked with Rusty Westchester's Traveling Circus. The carnival freaks, jealous of his popularity, spread a false rumor that he was molesting children. He lost his job and could no longer find work as a clown. He returned to his hometown to find his mother had died. Desperate and angry, he attempted suicide. He survived but his lower jaw had been blown off in the attempt. He began wearing a wide-grin prosthetic mask over his missing jaw. He also decided to make the children love him again by keeping them safe from their mean parents. They made them do chores and denied them candy.
He also thought the carnival freaks that cost him his job were "stealing" the children so he had to protect them from them as well. So he started wearing his clown suit and carried a sack that held his juggling pins. He became a bloodthirsty kidnapper and serial killer but he didn't realize that his actions were wrong.

Complete the following tasks
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books with characters that have a mental disability
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books that start with a letter in CIRCUS
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books with candy on the cover
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books with all the letters of the word JUGGLING in the title/series

dang, I just finished a great one for mental disability if anyone's interested: The Sideways Life of Denny Voss

Finished my last book

uh oh - let me see what I can find!

I've got 2 of the 4... I'll have to find candy on cover and JUGGLING

Finished mine too

gah - I'm going to have to suck it up and do whatever you two did for "juggling" or just read a book about juggling.

since it is the beginning of the month I'm going to grab the chance to knock out my two books - I've snagged the one Caipi read for Juggling - still looking for candy on cover.

I've finally finished! I'll post our update :)

are we done? I can't see a new list of clowns and there's an (*) next to each of the clown names on the first page...

I think we Joker next

That post hasnt been edited so the * must have always been there 🤷‍♀️

okay thanks for updating our completion post Janeylou :)

Joker

The Joker is a supervillain clown with green hair, white skin, and red lips. He has no superhuman abilities. Instead, he uses his expertise in chemical engineering to develop poisonous or lethal concoctions and thematic weapons. Sometimes he works with other supervillains but these collaborations usually collapse due to his desire for chaos.

Complete the following tasks
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books with Red, White & Green covers (no other colors allowed - except for text)
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with weapons on the cover
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books with the word POISON in the text
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books with the authors initials in JOKER

From Q & A..regarding Arm 1 ..red/ white/ green

....Ok, I will allow black detailing & outlines. Each book may have one, two, or all of the colors listed. They do not have to have the same colors. Book 1 may have red & white. Book 2 might have green and book 3 might have all three colors. It is up to you.

Just a reminder that you are playing non-competitively since the game ended. You are allowed to be banking books.

Banking books since the competitive part ended !!!!
How did we miss that part 🤔🤔😄

We'll have these clowns finished in no time😁😁

Ok girls, any book from end November that we not used else where in this challenge we can use from now on ..so with a bit of luck (and organising of shelves) we should have this before the next one starts

oh my gosh WHAT????? dang I've never even heard of a rule like that, but I love it

It was in the Q&A, silly people. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

The competitive part of the challenge ended at the end of November. You were no longer playing competitively. At that point, you were non-competitive players as of December 1st.

yeah we're just in it for fun - and it is always fun to dig for books that fit for this challenge's tasks 😅🤡🤡🤡
so no worries here

Awesome! I was able to fill in a book from June with weapon on cover. But I still need to read for the red, white and/or green cover. It's such a tough task, that I haven't read any matching book in the last 8 months!!
