Trojan Warships

Round 2 Hits:
F2: Dystopian
J2: Magical Realism
H4: Middle East

If we could get 3 of each to start I think that would be good. Remember they have to be on the 1st page of tags, not MPG.

Based on our current field, leaning towards the following for round 3:
H2, I2, G4, F4, B9, C9, F6, E5, H6, B5

I think the Pikestaff Group is E2 to J2

If we have read all our books and have planned our attacks and next targets, can we post them at anytime or does it have to be after 9pm Friday London Time?

I just got the Paranormal Shapeshifter done

The Monsters Mini-Game is done on July 15th. Here is what we have outstanding for our Monsters. Some of these have been claimed, but not completed. Let me know if any books you read that we have not used for another Mini Game (Mini Code on the planning spreadsheet is blank) will fill these requirements. Thanks!

Charybdis
T61: Read a book 800 pages or longer.

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%).

We need to know how many books we want to use to "attack" our squares for last week and select 10 more to attack this week.

Right now we have 2 Non Fiction, 2 Space Opera, 3 Romance and 2 Horror. We have space for one more in these categories.

Any suggestions? Does you want me and the captains to decide?

Removed T112 from Laura's Blue's Dawn because i finished my #6 book first. Requesting new Monster now

I've got a #6 I can start (and maybe finish) tomorrow). I have to complete one of by Bingo books so that's what I'm working on right now.

Paint it Black: Cheever destroys his art and Blake ignores advice about his mom.

I removed Pooja from T99 since its not read and replaced with Paint it Black. I will request a new monster since with this one book we finished it.

I have romance covered. It's all I read.

I'm in a romance challenge right now so have cut back on my non fiction but might be able to fit some shorter ones in. How long do ..."
We have one week for this round of 10 books. We can only use 10 books per week for the Warships. Everything else can go to Maze, Monsters or the general challenge

Must be Top Shelf. It's gotta appear on MPG or Page 1

Finished Maze Book: Enemies of the State 444 Pages. MPG Suspense

Warships:

Targets to be attacked: A10, B9, C8, D7, E6, F5, G4, H3, I2, J1"

Misses: A10, C8, D7, F5, H3, J1
Hits: B9 - Romance; E6 - Horror; G4 - Space Opera; I2 - Non-Fiction

We need to read 10 books, not used for other mini-challenges in these 4 sections and then decide how many books to attack each target with.

I can read two to three romances since it's the only genre I read.

Team Gods

Targets to be attacked: A10, B9, C8, D7, E6, F5, G4, H3, I2, J1

New Monster: Echidna

Echidna aka the Mother of Monsters has been spotted on your lands. Hard to kill and looking for some quality "me time".

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 350 and 450 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book with CAVE in text.
3.) Read a book where a character uses a sword.
4.) Author name (first and last) contain all the letters in HERA
5.) Read a book where a MC is a mother
