It was a bit gory for my taste, but I'm a complete wimp. I mean, the heroine is an FBI expect in serial killers, so I should have been prepared.

I see someone else found a Morris Dancing book, so I will cancel my Ngaio Marsh book that supposedly had Morris dancing.Completion Post:

There is a reference to "Mummies" in the text -- "I'm fine not seeing any eight-hundred-year-old frozen mummies before I have to" on p. 174. Does that count for the "Mummy" in the text task ?

I love the Murderbot books! I'm waiting on the library audio to listen to Telemetry, but it won't count for us because I read it on the release dat.
COMPLETION POST:The Unexpected Mrs. Pollifax
I finished the audio book, and added it to the spreadsheet.
I was hoping to get some audio books, but sadly I failed to download books into my Libby app (apparently the signs for "could be downloaded" and "have been downloaded" are too similar for me). I drove across state to pick up my son from college, drove back, and now am buried in my taxes.

I am making another long drive tomorrow, so I picked up some cosy mystery audios from the library. I aimed for numbers 7 and 8 in a series, so they'll hit at least one task!

Completion Post: The Assassins of Thasalon
It's in the spreadsheet.
So far I've mostly been reading my books and then seeing where they fit, because there are so many tasks. I guess at some point in the summer I'll start looking at the tasks when picking my next read.

Wow, I meant to finish this quickly, but the kids kept getting tortured and I'd run away. I've become squeamish in my old age.

The only sausage like thing I see is on the lower left, near the bag, by the eggplant. Is that what you see as a possible sausage?
Another quick read (these are low-end high school books that I got for the Cybils nonfiction HS award committee, but other members read them at the time). I added it to the spreadsheet.The Lizzie Borden Ax Murders
