Trinia | 2454 comments Great Charlie! I'll put it on the tracking spreadsheet. Can you give me some details for Reason of the following:

- Read a book with a headstrong character (character's name)
- Read a book that was originally written in a language other than your own (English?)
- Read a book that's title starts with a T
- Read a book where someone showers (character's name)

I'm still not sure how specific we need to be, but I've noticed other teams are pretty detailed.
Thanks!

Book: Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira
Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira
Task:
- Read a book where someone is under someone's spell - I don't know how literal this has to be, but the main character (Laurel) is pretty obsessed with the love interest (Sky) and she can't seem to let him go.
- Read a book where someone throws a party - I don't the exact name of the character, but I do know the characters go to a high school party.
- Read a book where someone survives an attack - Again, I don't know what falls under attack, but one of the side characters gets hit by her brother and the main character endures a lot of abuse as well (don't want to go into too much details, because huge spoilers).
- Read a book that was originally written in a language other than your own - It's written in English and my own language is Dutch.
- Read a book where the main character is a writer - I don't know how literal I have to take this, but the book is completely formatted through letters so the main character writes all these letters to famous dead people. I don't know if that could count for being a writer? She also wants to be a poet and writes a poem at the end of the book.
- Read a book with a main character in school - The main character is in high school and that is where she meets all of her friends and the love interest.
- Read a book with a strong female lead - Mentally strong counts, I guess? She struggles with her sister's death, but manages to pull through and also the abuse she endured (spoilers!).

message 867: by Trinia (new)

Trinia | 2454 comments FYI: Where we put the books on the planning sheet may only be temporary. I believe the goal initially will be to complete Labors, the more labors open, the more bonuses we can open.

When posting the completed books it is helpful to give as much info regarding each task met, then if we change them around, we don't have to hunt each of you down to clarify reasons.
Thank you Polar Bears!
