35559 I finished The Cutting Room which means Medusa can now be slain. I'm on my phone again so can't update the spreadsheet or roll. If anyone sees this before I get on my laptop, feel free to fill in the date for my book (8th April) and give the wheel a spin!

35559 It sounds like we might be getting quite a few new monsters soon!

35559 I added a couple of books I'm going to read this month to some tasks. I should finish the one with a mirror on within the next week which will finally get Madusa finished and I should finish the book I added for that last task in Jersey Devil pretty quick so getting that monster slayed shouldn't be too far off too.

I'm definitely going to be tackling some 800+ books from next month as I will be taking part in Tower Teams. I don't think I will get around to any this month though.

35559 I kinda forgot about this. I'm probably going to just wait for tower teams too now, especially as I still need to get a copy.

35559 I think this is the first time since doing this challenge that I am below the line D:
I have read one or two from my list that I have not updated. I'm also going to read a few this month so should get me back above the line

35559 Yay! Tower Teams! Just what I needed to see after the rubbish night at work I had

35559 I spun the wheel. New monster is Jersey Devil (Urban Legends).
Mar 23, 2023 07:42PM

35559 I also just found a book with a mirror on the cover which I will read after my current book. Neither books are that long so should have the mirror one done within the next week or so.

35559 I just finished Far from the Tree which means we have defeated Jorogumo!
I'm on my phone at work so if someone can put the date (23rd March) in for my book and spin the wheel we can get a new monster! Otherwise I'll try and get on my laptop and do it when I get home.
Mar 20, 2023 05:09AM

35559 I finally finished my 800+ page book! Which means we finally defeated that Yeti!

Spun the wheel and we got Mothman (Urban Legend).

35559 @Roe - 300ish is tame compared to my 1000ish D: I have been pretty good so far this year though, I haven't added that many. Let's just hope I keep it up. But as long as I'm getting some of those older books read, then that's all that matters, right?

35559 I just found a book that fits 3 of the tasks for the Loch Ness Monster! That book has just gone way up in my "to read next" list. It's a fairly short book so I can try and get it done in the next few days around work.

35559 I still have plenty more 800+ books on my TBR list, but I can't see me starting another one this month. I might start one in April so that we have one almost ready if we end up with anymore.

I do have some shorter books lined up for the rest of this month, which may be able to help with some tasks. I'm really behind on my yearly goal so I'm trying to catch up a bit.

35559 A string of bad luck has put me behind my timeframe for finishing my 800+ page book. I should now have it done next week sometime.
Mar 05, 2023 06:15PM

35559 I've had a rough few days at work which has hindered my reading. I'm hoping to catch up some on my days off

35559 I started my 800+ page book last night. I'm working a lot in the next week or so, so I'm not sure that I will make quick progress on it. I'm still aiming to get it done by mid-March though.

35559 I think I'll still above the line, but I haven't read as much from my TBR list as I normally would have by now. I do have 3 planned for next month. If all goes well, I might manage a couple more too. I feel like my poor TBR list has been neglected lately, but I blame team challenges :p

35559 One of my 800+ books fits in perfectly with another challenge I am doing. I need to finish my current book, but then I will be working on it so if I can, I will try and get it done in the first week of March. I left a note on the spreadsheet, but I didn't want to claim it in case it takes longer and one of you get one done first.
