Apologizes I forgot to come by yesterday. :( I've updated your Post 7 and your spreadsheet.

I re-used an assignment others haven't gotten to so I wouldn't make you wait any longer on them. :)

This is an Open Ended Challenge
This challenge can be done as a Lone Wolf, or with a Mate
Ruff Scale : You Choose
Standard BARC Rules & Regs apply


Title Relay

Length of Run: Open Ended
Commands: Make a Title Relay

Read books connecting TITLES
Titles must contain at least TWO words
First word and Last word must be EXACTLY the same, no variations
         May NOT ignore subtitles, must use very last word of all titles
         Example: Never Never: Part Two can NOT lead into Never Never
         May NOT ignore Articles, must use every word of all titles
For Lone Wolf: Books must be read in order
For Mates: Books must be read in order with 1 person reading every other one
         You may start on the next one, if your partner has not finished
         You may NOT get more than 1 book ahead, see example below



Example of reading for Title Relay
(view spoiler)[
Never Never
Never Say Never
Never Say Die
Die Again Tomorrow
Tomorrow, When the War Began

If reading with a Mate, using the example above:
M1 reads Never Never
M2 reads Never Say Never
M1 finishes Never Never
M2 is still reading Never Say Never
M1 may start Never Say Die, but can NOT start Tomorrow, When the War Began UNTIL M2 starts Die Again Tomorrow

For Mates, rule of thumb: You may be reading books that connect, may NOT skip ahead
