35559 Sammy, does either your Queen or Miss Brodie book feature a religious figure?
If so, I can remove my Crusaders book from there. If not, it can stay there and I'll finish it eventually. :))

35559 :D I'm a bit on the fence about it, but I'm persuadable. ;)

35559 I grabbed religious figure, but my book may do for significant septuagenarian character - have to wait and see.

I have been pestering Sophie and Cat in another thread about it. 😅

Because it is that time of the year when I'm starting collecting U-books. 🤭

35559 Oh and I just realised that the page count of the Henry V book has been updated to 526 (I swear it was 400-something the last time I checked - possibly they took the hardcover page count for reference first, that's 432), so the page count task is out. 😳

Cthulhu

35559 And I've forgotten about a book I have recently finished, which helps us with the Summoning Dark, so I'm going spinning. :)

35559 After my cUriosity-detour, returning back to the challenge in hand 😊

If any of you have books that work for "embezzle" in text and/or "any kind of betting in story", I could move my Henry V The Astonishing Rise of England's Greatest Warrior King by Dan Jones for white cover and the page count 350-450. It also works for 5 in page count.
