Lexi’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

That last BOM for Aug will be Book Lovers by Emily Henry if people need to find a copy

We can also almost always get rid of Echidna with banked books which we did and we got another Sphinx:

Sphinx



The Greek Sphinx has been spotted on your lands and befuddling your citizens left and right. Requires some planning and moderate effort to defeat, send your smartest warriors and for the love of all the gods, don't confuse her with her good-for-nothing Egyptian cousin.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 200 and 299 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book where the characters go on a journey.
3.) Read a book where the MC must solve a riddle.
4.) Read a book with a mountain on cover.
5.) Read a book with a brown cover (at least 50%).

I had a tiny book that covered 1 and 3 that I already read. We need twins, and championship games (plus or minus pregnant but I can use a banked book for that).

Also, I am back in the US so my time zone checking before work is now later for what that is worth

I have only two hours left in my yellow book and then I can read an epic fantasy. I still have 7 hours until the flight if it’s not delayed again.

Actually, can you add Rule of Wolves to your TT shelf and then I can go get a new one

I will go get us a new one now and then there will be options.

Good luck, I really enjoyed Spiderlight

We need:

MPG Epic Fantasy


Edited: MC is a father - Judith found one in a banked book

Let ..."

I have a non-fiction I want to read for Zesus but feel free to read yours if you would like. It is a fun book.

Thank you and I'm hoping our trip home goes smoothly as well. I should have reading time in the airport, and I have been told the Dakar airport has wifi so fingers crossed.

He's back but at least we already have a lightning book:

Typhon



Typhon aka the Father of Monsters has been spotted on your lands. Very hard to kill and not known for showing mercy.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 500 and 650 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book that mentions a volcano
3.) Read a book with lightning on the cover
4.) Read a book where the title contains all the letters in ZEUS
5.) Read a book where a MC is a father

Yes, there will be one last mini but I'm not sure when it starts

Key to Rebecca has been used for the last Eqypt book needed. (Judith appears to really like Egypt for this mini). However, Judith's book works for 4 of the 5 so we can just wait on hers to be done. (It has a lioness too).

Truitt, that sounds great, and Judith and I plan to grab one of our non-Monster books for battleship so no need to read specifically for it yet.

Update and then I need to go clean things to fly back to the US tomorrow:
We need
1. Read a book with MPG Epic Fantasy
2. Read a book that is #3 in a series.

3. Read a book that is #6 in a series.
4. Read a book that features a bird (bird shifter accepted)

(3-4 can be the same book)

Stymphalian Birds



Stymphalian Birds have been seen filling your orchards and causing delays in harvesting. They are hard to defeat because of their numbers. Music can soothe the savage beasts, may want to try metal bands.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 350 and 450 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book that is #6 in a series.
3.) Read a book with a musical instrument mentioned in the text.
4.) Read a book with something metal on the cover.
5.) Read a book that features a bird (bird shifter accepted).

My epic fantasy book has a riddle and a brown cover so I moved it over to cover the rest of Sphinx so we need a MPG Epic Fantasy for the dragon

I'll work on banked books and update everyone in an hour or so

Still not a new one:

Sphinx



The Greek Sphinx has been spotted on your lands and befuddling your citizens left and right. Requires some planning and moderate effort to defeat, send your smartest warriors and for the love of all the gods, don't confuse her with her good-for-nothing Egyptian cousin.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 200 and 299 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book where the characters go on a journey.
3.) Read a book where the MC must solve a riddle.
4.) Read a book with a mountain on cover.
5.) Read a book with a brown cover (at least 50%).

Third is usually an easy one so I might wait to see if someone else grabs it with a longer book but good to have a backup plan
