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

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

We have defeated another Zeus

Good morning all it’s Happy Friday. Currently reading Dead I Well May Be which I’ll have finished this morning, it’s very dark and violent, I can then pick up Zeus on audio.

Also got Two for the Dough on ebook on the go for my maze.

Yes that would work

@vian can you confirm that the MC of In Sheep's Clothing is a farmer? I'm reading the synopsis ..."

This is the same book that Erin read, MC is a sheep farmer and wooler - colonial ranch

So sorry to hear that Trinia. Sure is a lot to deal with. Take the time you need for you and your family.

New Monster



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%).

On it 👍

New Monster Alert

Cerberus



Cerberus has decided to take a jaunty run through your lands before returning to the underworld. He's very hard to defeat, don't let those 6 puppy dog eyes fool you. May want to bring some milk bones and tennis balls.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 500 and 650 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book where a funerary celebration/service takes place.
3.) Read a book with MPG Music.
4.) Read a book with a musical instrument on the cover.
5.) Read a book that is #3 in a series.
