I'm done ! :)

nice :)

Oh and by the way, the Hobbit can also be used for journey and the page count. So we can keep Laura's book for something else :)

I guess I could, if there's a chance we can defeat it.
Let's see what monster we get after defeating the first Sphinx though.

oh, come on !

My workday is now over :) I can fully concentrate on my reading now. I'll let you know as soon as I'm done with the Hobbit

Ok, sounds good. I could probably do it. But let's see what monster we get once I'm done with the Hobbit. We never know we might have one more easily defeated.

I am almost half-way through Daughter of the Moon Goddess, and my edition has 503 pages.
It reads relatively quickly. I could have it done by tonight, after I'm done with the Hobbit.

How long 'till the end of the mini again ??

Perfect! I did that for our last Sphinx :D"

I'll start now :) Let's hope work stays as quite as it is now so I can finish soon !

Alright, I'll leave it for another time then. Let me see if I can find something that covers other prompts

I could quickly read

1) 217 pages
3) possibility of a riddle to be solved. TBC when I read it
5) a brown cover

Edit: yes for 3. I just read the sysnopsis and it involves a cipher, meaning a riddle

Feel better soon, Laura !

It's a slow day at work today (finally !), meaning I can actually read. So hopefully I can help a bit :)

Thank you for coordinating all that. It really helps make it clear what we need, and keep it fun !

Sammy wrote: "The starting date matters with Warships, but the other minis, as long as it was started during TT, it's good :)"

Right. With all these different rules for each part of the TowerTeams it can get a bit confusing at time... 😅

Sammy wrote: "As long as it was finished after, it works Claire :D"

Aaah, for some reason I thought it was the starting date that matters :p well, good news !

My The Gilded Cage has also a surprise twist when (view spoiler)[the princess turned on her family for a chance to be with her girlfriend (hide spoiler)] at the end. But we'd need to check the date when I started reading it, not sure if it was before of after the mini started.

Hey guys !!
Sorry I've been kinda absent for the last couple of weeks. Basically work was crazy. My unit was finishing up some projects, and on top of that I was asked to cover for a couple of colleagues. So topping my busy days with even more craziness, and being three people at the same time 😵‍💫😵‍💫
But the projects are now over, and with the holidays I expect it's going to calm down quite a bit. I'll finally be able to take a breath again, and enjoy some reading 😊

Claire - I can’t imagine it being an all time favourite book 😆 but I actually enjoyed the crazy ride. Hopefully you can get to the end 👍"

I'm definitely finishing it before the BOM reading deadline. I want those points !

Yes that guy is super sweet, but crazy. lol
He ranks all the books he reads. Do you know anyone who does that? Everytime he reads something he will try to place it in a spreadsheet that will go from favourite to least favourite. That's how he figured Master and Margarita is his alltime favourite. Nothing has topped it yet. And he has about 300 books on there.
I can't imagine doing that. I just read too many books. How would I know if a book I read now is better than that one I read 6 Years ago and I barely remember? lol
