The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

25.4 - Delicious Dee's Task: Ted Lasso!

It was recently announced that season 3 of Ted Lasso would premiere on March 15, 2023. To say i’m excited is, likely, understating my excitement (mostly because of how season 2 ended). So let’s BELIEVE and celebrate in the return of Ted Lasso.


For this task you will flip ONE coin (https://flipacoin.fun/)
HEADS - Use Season 1.
TAILS - Use Season 2.

Alternately, if you don’t want to use season 1 or 2, you may use Option 3.

No Books with the genre Childrens or Kids may be used.

REQUIRED: State the option and/or the result of your coin flip

Option 1- HEADS - SEASON ONE
Season 1 sees Ted Lasso (Jason Sudakeis) hired by Rebecca Welton (Hannah Waddingham) to be head coach of AFC Richmond.

Just clarifying - for the word in the episode title, it must be found "intact" and standing alone, right? So the word THING can't be found in NIGHT or in SOMETHING? And what about THINGS?

I adore Ted Lasso!

Yes that’s correct - the word must stand-alone and I’ll clarify must match exactly

Dee my brain is struggling to get round this
BUT i flipped heads

So The Walled Garden Sarah Hardy fits author

andEssex Dogs fits word from title (Dogs in the Diamond Dogs) and is #1in a series

Page count doesn't matter if doing option 1 or 2 is this right

Yes - no page count if you flip the coin

Are possessives okay? Looking at Trent's Last Case for Season 1 (Episode Name "Trent Crimm: The Independent")

unfortunately must match exactly

Does "single author" mean I can't use a book with 2 authors, one of which matches a character (for season 2)?

Robin P wrote: "Does "single author" mean I can't use a book with 2 authors, one of which matches a character (for season 2)?"

that is correct - the book can only have one author

That’s fine, I found something else.

Can I read Every Precious Thing for "Do the Right-est Thing" (It's book 2 as I got Tails lol)

Many thanks

Looks good to me
