Jedi! Time for some Murderbot?😀

Emily, can you let us know if a book you finish from now fits the Princess & Rogue trope? Like, an MC book might, with an innocent but feisty character interacting with the loveable scoundrel biker?

Exciting news, team! We have finished our 400 page minimum requirements, and just need 3 (well, 2, when my latest is verified) 500+!

Awesome reading! :)

oh, Marie, can you get The Secret History on your TT shelf please, now you've a computer so might be able to beat GR into submission without too much swearing? Thanks!

Well, if Mary X is happy to do two Sherlock books, that would be good :)

Scratch that Marie - Marie-Anne has a spin-off halfway through, so you can read for your own pleasure right now!

We should get at least one new spin tomorrow...

Yup! One of our quieter readers, but still valued

Emily wrote: "I am reading the second book in a spinoff series. Almost done with it."

And the original series too? We need a pair of original and spin off:)

We're more or less filled in for the current wheel tasks - unless you want to pick up a Sherlock Holmes book?

Books that fit O spellout would be helpful, or T or S

Any particular ones you'd like me to do.. PM me. 😁

Oh and is..."

If a Dr Who Wheel doesn't include The Master / Missy I'll have to go frowny eyes at people! Apart from anything else, it's a great chance for a trans char; trans author book task.

Daleks - kitchen implement on cover; plumbing item on cover (pipes, taps work just as well as a plunger); author initials in EXTERMINATE; laser in text

oh! just realised that Marie-Anne has a Sherlock spin off on the sheet already! so if that's an up-next, we've got two Sherlock spin-offs (Sarah and Marie-Anne), one definitely reading an original (Mary) and then need another Sherlock original. I can probably commit to that (got Stephen Fry reading to them), but that won't be confirmed until tomorrow.

Mary, Moonshadow is a win for night sky in my eyes :)

excellent!

I'm going to focus on finishing my 500page book today, and then will look at covering a spin-off to pair with one of your suggestions, Mary. Possibly a Sherlock spin off too (maybe A Study in Charlotte)

@Yasmine, no worries! you focus on the important stuff!

got a couple of big ones off my deck:
- the conceit of which is wearing thin, so I shall live without reading the last one
- which was a fictionalised biography of Captain Fitzroy, who commanded the Beagle expedition, and founded the Met Office. It was good, but also very slow reading

am currently just beyond the Line.... can I keep my tail clear for the rest of this month though???

sadly too soon - we only got that set this morning, so it needs to befinished from now on.

We need task to fit the Great A'Tuin - put not the form of transport one!

Marie (UK) wrote: "Sorry didn’t read properly my book starts with how let me re look"

I thin Marie-Anne has a few options, so maybe focus on the Great A'Tuin set, please?

If you are back - can you add Secret History to your TT shelf please? :)
