Needs to have a riddle or cipher being solved, solving a mystery doesn’t work for this task unfortunately

Good morning all I’ve added African Dawn to Cerberus.
Starting Jane Eyre today, should have it completed by end of day 🤞
I’ve also made a start on The Witch's Heart which is rather enjoyable.

@Celia please add Pretty Little Fliers to your TT shelf

Not to worry Erin I’m sure they will send another mini our way.

New Monster Alert
Lernaean Hydra



Lernaean Hydra has entered your lands and destroying villages as it looks for a new home. If you manage to defeat this monster be prepared to answer "how are you still alive" every time you tell the story. The monster is interested in shiny things and is unconcerned about losing their head(s). Best be quick.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book 800 pages or longer.
2.) Read a book with MPG Adventure.
3.) Read a book with gold text on the cover.
4.) Read a book where the MC has a sister.
5.) Read a book that is #9 or higher in a series

It's back

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).

Spreadsheet is updated and all corrections made. We have defeated Caucasian Eagle

Hi Jenn, can you pop over to the Captain's group with this :)

I’ll take a look when I’m at my laptop in a bit

Head on over to the supergroup Mythics . Books used need to have started after the warship challenge began, 9pm Uk Time on Friday 1st. To ensure our strategy remains under wraps all discussion regarding genres will take place over there

We have 2 open spots on warships, if you haven’t claimed a spot and can have a book finished by Friday 9pm UK time head on over to the our Mythics group.

Has to be twins

We need readers for warships. Also with regards to non-fiction a setting is still a setting.

Can you post this in Mythics 😉

I think Two for the Dough works for suburbs. It set in the outskirts of Trenton and Stephanie plum describes her neighbor as mr suburbia

Good Morning all. Well the audio I was reading yesterday for the Gift exchange challenge didn’t actually work, it seems I cannot spell. Dead I Well May Be does not contain Aladdin, so picking up In a Gilded Cage to listen to this morning while getting housework done before going out for lunch and a hair appointment.

Looks like everyone has had a busy week
@Robin so glad you’re furbaby is on the mend.

@Erin sounds like you had a fab time. Love homemade cottage pie and shepherds pie, in the UK they are named by whether they contain beef or lamb.

@Kelsi happy Canada day hope you don’t suffer too much and enjoy a relaxing weekend

Planning to read Jane Eyre @532pgs and Plain Bad Heroines @640pgs
