I have claimed #12.

My son is also minecraft-obsessed. He even has MC swimming trunks and my brother got him a pack of MC UNO cards. :)

I can read #12 in a series and also #11 if needed.

I also added a book that would work for the Russia setting, Mrs Harris Goes to Moscow.

If you like old-fashioned, feel-good books then I would absolutely recommend the stories Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris & Mrs Harris Goes to New York. A lovely film was made from book 1, although with an altered plot. :)

Thank you, for the explanation, Teddie.

My fire book is connected to magic/a type of personality.



Like Katniss, the girl on the cover is "on fire". :)

Otherwise I will list options for plot that would fit several districts, as trading luxury and other goods (like textiles) plays an important part as well as politics and communication. There is also a central market that's important to the plot and livestock and other stuff is bought and sold.

We are and will be staying in Corfu until 7 Aug, so understandably Domi's reading progress is .. ahem...somewhat obstructed.

So in case you finish a book that fits "6 and 3 in page number" just oust his. :)

Yaay!

Right? I'm thinking maybe we schedule a big beach party in the Aegean, or take ov..."

Right now I'm in Corfu, guys, so if you want preparations to start for a beach party (even it is -strictly speaking- the"Ionian" part of the Mediterranean) just lemme know.

Also, the local Baywatch guy (yes, he has that orange, plastic thingummy David Hasselhof used to run around with) is a slighly leaner version of Jason Momoa, which doesn't hurt. 🤭

Olympics - I'm mostly interested in swimming, waterpolo, fencing, kayak/canoe, as these are the sports Hungary is traditionally strong in, but I can't say I am spending sleepless nights over any of them. :)

I will go through my planned books and see what they would work for.

Just to double check

- donkey on cover could work for D10?
- fire both on cover/in title - is it acceptable for D12 as in fire "needs"coal? (or same goes for our own district, wood needed for fire?)

I have another short U-book if the slot is still going begging by the end of tomorrow, so I can fill it in fairly quickly.

Lauri, I added the code for the yellow cover (Column N, Mini ref), so it now shows up as claimed on the mini tab as well. ;)

My with the donkey (domesticated animal) on the cover could work for D10, right?

Suzanne, so sorry to hear about the slow recovery. :(

Marty, they definitely look like luxury items, although the dress could also work for D8 cover (related to textile) I think. :)

Gotcha. Will add my U book later with the corresponding code :)

I found yellow letters on cover as well, but will wait for other Teamies to chime in first. I also have another book with U-title if needed

I guess speed & possible task shuffling is of some importance here as we cannot spin for a new set of tasks before finishing the current ones.

Anyway, just putting it out here that I don't mind how Cappies use/move my books if playing tetris is needed. :)

Well.... challenging for sure... :))

I have a Pride and Prejudice retelling book that's set in Pakistan which I'll be happy to reread... and of course starts with a U, sooo.. Captains I'll put the burden on your shoulders to decide where to use it. ;)
