Ooh I have this, there is a one-legged woman wit..."

Great, we are on a roll

New task:

X-Men - Read a book with a character who has a mobility impairment (e.g. in a wheelchair, has a prosthesis, has arthritis)

Used a banked book for MPG Romance:

New tasks:
X-Rays - Read a book with bone(s) on the cover
Film 10s - Shang-Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings - Read a book that shares a title word (e.g. Legend) NB - can't use THE, AND or OF

Great, thank you, Logan

Tricia, not a problem, we need the page number books too.

Also, I think we will get all the spell it outs done by the end, so I don't think prioritizing is a real concern yet.

We are going to use books over 400 for page numbers so we reach the minimum needed by the end of the month but thank you

Thank you, both

New task:

X Books - Read a book where a character name starts with X
Link: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1... (helpful but short)

Yes it is. Perfect

New task:

Film 10s - Ten North Frederick - Read a book that shares a title word

Aoife, can you please add The Woods to your TT shelf? Thank you

My findings so far for wolverine in text in shorter books:
- 384 pages
- 213 pages - MM on KU

Can anyone with a kindle search their library for the word Wolverine in text. I really don't want to use one of the over 600-page books. If you post the book here even if you have already read it and it is under 400 or so pages, someone else might want to read it.

Peaceful theme:

Wilding: The Return of Nature to a British Farm by Isabella Tree

Forced to accept that intensive farming on the heavy clay of their land at Knepp in West Sussex was economically unsustainable, Isabella Tree and her husband Charlie Burrell made a spectacular leap of faith: they decided to step back and let nature take over. Thanks to the introduction of free-roaming cattle, ponies, pigs and deer – proxies of the large animals that once roamed Britain – the 3,500 acre project has seen extraordinary increases in wildlife numbers and diversity in little over a decade.

Once-common species, including turtle doves, nightingales, peregrine falcons, lesser spotted woodpeckers and purple emperor butterflies, are now breeding at Knepp, and populations of other species are rocketing. The Burrells’ degraded agricultural land has become a functioning ecosystem again, heaving with life – all by itself.

This recovery has taken place against a backdrop of catastrophic loss elsewhere. According to the 2016 ‘State of Nature’ report, the UK is ranked 29th in the world for biodiversity loss: 56% of species in the UK are in decline and 15% are threatened with extinction. We are living in a desert, compared with our gloriously wild past.

In Wilding, Isabella Tree tells the story of the ‘Knepp experiment’ and what it reveals of the ways in which we might regain that wilder, richer country. It shows how rewilding works across Europe; that it has multiple benefits for the land; that it can generate economic activity and employment; how it can benefit both nature and us – and that all of this can happen astonishingly quickly. Part gripping memoir, part fascinating account of the ecology of our countryside, Wilding is, above all, an inspiring story of hope.

Rebecca, I think Jax has a book for it now, but it needs to be as many initials as the author has on Goodreads so 3 if there is 3 and 2 if there is 2.

MPG Adventure was a different task and we already did it. Thank you for asking

Also, please still mark color covers because we read so much that if we run out of letters, we will move books over to the rainbow towers

I used Aoife's book as it is easier to find a letter than a mod book. Thank you both

New one:
X marks the spot - Read a book with MPG Action

Happy halfway through June and we have a new surprise mini challenge. Any book finished from 9 AM UTC this morning can be used. I added a tab to the planning spreadsheet, and it is a spell-it-out of former team names. Rainbows tower are still the only unlimited option, but there are tons of letters to read for too now.

Books used for either the page towers or Free Choice can be used for these spell-outs.

New one:
X-Rated - Read a book with three people on the cover

Edited: This means only 3 and not at least 3
