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

Judith, sorry for you all having to deal with all that. I'll get links this morning.

Also, we could use a LIVER in title and use Colleen's somewhere else

Task. Read a book with the letters LIVER in title (any order)

Soon as you log Jade City, I can get us a new one and then there will be more options

Thank you, I got you down for 2 and 3

Scylla



Scylla has been spotted close to your shores and endangering ships heading for the harbor. Very hard to defeat and best to avoid if possible, is very touchy when Circe is mentioned.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 500 and 650 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book with a body of water on the cover.
3.) Read a book that features a sacrifice of some type (your interpretation).
4.) Read a book that features a sorceress.
5.) Read a book whose title contains the word "FIRE".

Up to you. If you want to read that book, or we can clear some of the other partially covered ones first

We need a Russia book but the rest is covered by banked or planned books

Lamia cleared with banked books (thank you, Daniel) and on to a new one:

Caucasian Eagle



The Caucasian Eagle has taken to the skies over your lands in the search of do-gooders who don't think the rules apply to them. Not so hard to defeat with a little effort and maybe setting some traps with organ meat.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 200 and 299 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book set in Russia.
3.) Read a book with a bird on the cover.
4.) Read a book with the letters LIVER in title (any order)
5.) Read a book where a character goes to prison/jail (or is already there).

Two more and sadly also not new:
Kraken



The Kraken has been seen in the sea depths near you land, destroying ships on a whim. If defeated, you will always wonder how you managed to survive. May be searching for Andromeda or Pegasus, he's a bit bitter they got away.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book 800 pages or longer.
2.) Read a book with a ship on the cover (spaceship allowed because Mods can be benevolent too).
3.) Read a book where the Author name (first or last) starts and ends with the same letter (e.g., Andromeda)
4.) Read a book where a character goes swimming
5.) Read a book that has an 8 in the series number (e.g., #8, #18, #0.8)

Lamia



The Lamia has been spotted on your lands and the disappearances of children are on the rise. Requires some planning and moderate effort to defeat, look to the stars for the answers and to the shadows for the monster.


To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 200 and 299 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book with the night sky on the cover.
3.) Read a book where someone is kidnapped.
4.) Read a book that features a prophecy.
5.) Read a book where a child (under age 18) is an important part of the plot.

I got one that covers both for Kraken

We still need 2 for Sphinx (can be same book):
Read a book where the MC must solve a riddle
Read a book with a mountain on cover

We got all but 8 in series from banked books.

Edited: and author name

Yay, new one
Kraken



The Kraken has been seen in the sea depths near you land, destroying ships on a whim. If defeated, you will always wonder how you managed to survive. May be searching for Andromeda or Pegasus, he's a bit bitter they got away.

5.) Read a book that has an 8 in the series number (e.g., #8, #18, #0.8)

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
