I don't see anything where it needs a specific gender for the rogue characters and a female could be rogue. I'd say it would qualify.

New Spin: Jedi (again)

I updated Nicole's The Day of the Triffids to the MPG Dystopia and moved my Sticky Fingers to Hufflepuff. I will finish that soon and then request a new spin

I don't think anyone should feel bad or worry that they can't help with any of the challenges. Reading is about all I do in my spare time and I specifically pick shorter books so I can get through them in about a day or two. I feel bad taking more than one prompt sometimes since I read so fast.

New Spin:

"Read four books that have one of the following MPGs. Each book must have a different MPG (i.e. can't use Romance four times)
MPGs: Dystopia / Young Adult / Historical Romance / Guilty Pleasure / Dark Fantasy / Contemporary / Horror"

Suzanne wrote: "We have lots of possibilities for finishing princess and rogue now that we got the confirmation from mods of just needing "princess type" and "rogue type" so I guess just see whose book works first..."

Apoorv's book MIGHT even work for that, depending on the secondary characters. Its got a princess already.

I've asked for the Spin. Hope it comes in soon.

We do seem to be having an issue with the last Jedi Task...Princess and rogue characters trope.

I just read a short book that qualifies for tragedy. Any objection to moving Apoorv's book out of the Wheel so we can get a new spin?

Suzanne wrote: "I can't tell enough about the plot. I think we need some kind of royalty (prince or princess) in love with a scoundrel."

There is a prince, but this book isn't specifically about him, but there is a bunch of characters that the prince is friends with, including a hornless unicorn a dragon, the head of security for the royalty, a giant and a witch.

W3d Jedi - Princess and Rouge Trope Characters. Think A Destiny of Dragons work?

My goal is always to just not be last.

You would thinks, but now I just want to know how you got those points since they don't match. I wish we could PM multiple people in one message so we could have a mini conversation there instead of clogging this one with our "how did you get that? where did you find that?" questions...

I tried to read it and I could not. However, listening to it was awesome Michael Lesley is awesome.

Speaking of TJ, woul..."

I'll think about giving it a try. I have a tendancy to see TJ Klune and avoid it. I read the At First Sight and wasn't super impressed. I also could not read Tales from Verania, but I can listen to it. In that one the narrator makes all the difference.

I thought Demons was hilarious. It was just the break I needed a the time. For some reason I only have 9 points here so I think I have to double check that...

I can't wait to read more of Coven Ties. I liked the concept and the writing and it was a New to Me author. This was 25 points for me

No Good Deed was good too. If you can remember which book you thought it was i'd probably give that a try too. I'd never read something like this before and can't wait for more. I got 29 points

I've never been a big ashe fan, but then again I'm not huge into TJ Klune either and I think that puts me in the minority. So I didn't even give those a try. Also not huge on historicals so that put Molly boys out for me.

Ghostly Findings was good too. I skipped the first book and didn't feel like I missed a lot. I have 23 pts for that.

FYI. The Harry Potter Sorting Had Details are not fully displayed on the Wheel. Here is what they are.

Done

For those in the MM Hunt and read the books. What did you guys think of the books and what kind of points did you get?

I haven't finished my points yet, but I read No Good Deed, Oh, Sacred Dark, Postscript, Ghostly Finding and A Beginner’s Guide to Death, Demons, and Other Afterlife Disasters.

Postscript was a bit slow going for me but the others were great.

Hmm. They tell us to be created and not make it complicated, but if we look up the Muse Erato on Wiki, she is "the Muse of lyric poetry, particularly erotic poetry, and mimic imitation."
