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

That is lovely and yellow and the first one looked yellow on my computer too. I hope you enjoy it.

We have a second

Colchian Dragon



Colchian Dragon has been seen on your lands, searching for a new and improved golden fleece. Maybe a platinum one? He's not the strongest monster around but still takes some effort to put down. Likes music and is distracted from finishing his tasks.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 200 and 299 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book from an unfinished series.
3.) Read a book with a musical instrument on the cover.
4.) Read a book with MPG Epic Fantasy.
5.) Read a book with a yellow cover (at least 50%).

I can do 1,2 and 5 from banked books
(edited: 5 is a book Preeti is planning to read but not banked)

I found a banked book for Brown so we will save yours for our next Egypt one

Sphinx gone so yet another:

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

I can finally read Rise of Empire

It was only once on the main SS, which is what counts, but I have fixed it for the planning sheet as well. Good catch

I got #19 read - Far From the Madding Crowd (3 stars). and it needed more sheep, as I have mentioned elsewhere. The marriage drama was less interesting to me than the farming.

I removed the 7 but did not get around to adding the new ones so thank you

Also, poll is up for the last BOM: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/2...

I nominated and Judith nominated .

That sounds great. All yours. I will look for one of the others. Can you add it to the SS.

So it has been busy today so here is what we need:
Sphinx
1. Read a book with a brown cover (at least 50%)
Typhon

Manitcore (the 2nd)
1. Read a book between 500 and 650 pages (inclusive)
2. Read a book set in Persia (Iran, Egypt, Turkey, Afghanistan and Pakistan)

And another:

Manticore



The man-eating Manticore has been terrorizing your people. Very hard to kill with 3 rows of sharp teeth that completely devour their victims. Not even the bones left to bury. If you find them, it's best to turn them into a nice 'Persian" rug before they decide to eat you first.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 500 and 650 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book set in Persia (Iran, Egypt, Turkey, Afghanistan and Pakistan).
3.) Read a book with the letters MAN EATER in title (any order).
4.) Read a book with MPG Paranormal > Shapeshifters.
5.) Read a book with a 3 in the publication date.

Python already gone. Getting a new one.

Birds already covered so on to:
Python



Python has been seen on your lands, searching for Apollo and Artemis. He's not that hard to kill as Greek monsters go being just a really big snake, may be interested in ladies with buns. Be warned though, his death may require a penance be paid to satisfy Zeus.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 100 and 125 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book that features twins.
3. Read a book whose author name (first or last) starts with a letter in SWORD.

Preeti wrote: "I am reading Why Didn't They Ask Evans? which works for the riddle task."

Wonderful, thanks

Lory wrote: "It looks like we are still looking for another book above #9 in a series? I can read . This is #26 in the series. It also would work for MC has a sister, MPG ..."

That would be great, thank you

For author’s name, I’d say yes

Update of what we need then:

Read a book with gold text on the cover

Read a book that is #9 or higher in a series

Can be same book (would just move a book to the 2nd Lernaean Hydra)
