New Monster tasks!

Task Set: Tower Teams 9: Monsters - Virtues
Read a book with average rating 4.0 or higher
Read a book that is #7 in series
Justice - read a book that can be associated with Justice
Charity - read a book that can be associated with Charity

The task is for a jealous character, not the word jealousy. Does the character come across as jealous?

If you find the word green, we can move my green to jealous.

Benita, we have books for both of the green cover tasks.

@Benita - You've marked Educated as read on the spreadsheet. The only read date on your shelf for that one is from Jan 2020. I assume it's a re-read. We'll need an additional read date on that one, please. Thanks!

New Tasks!

Tower Teams 9: Monsters - Jealousy
Read a book with a green cover
Read a book that features a jealous character
Read a book set in Ireland (Republic or Northern both acceptable)
Read a book with the word "green" in text

Lory, if it's something you want to read, go for it! If you're iffy about it and only picking it up for the task, read something for a letter that you want to read! Remember, it's the same amount of points per book!

You're still working on it? Meaning reading it? You put a read date next to it on the spreadsheet, so Tammie and I assume at that point that a book is completed.

Tower Teams 5: Star Wars - Jedi
Read a book with title starts with one of letters JEDI (all words count, inc A, An, The)
Read a book with MPG Space Opera
Read a book with a humanoid robot/android
Read a book with a princess and rogue trope characters"

It was mentioned in another team's thread that most MC romances will work for that princess/rogue characters.

@Benita - I'm not seeing Ripples in Time on your shelves at all. Can you please add it to your Tower shelf and give it a date read? Thanks!

Also, Benita, would Ripples in Time work for "a character pretends to be someone else"? Often in those 'back-in-time' books that is the case.

I loved it as well! I had the audio, and started it with 2 of my kids in the car. They both proceeded to listen to it as soon as we got home!

When I put that one in for Astronomy, it opened up the V in Minerva. So I swapped another one, and we have an open A in the Pandora spell-out.

My current audio, Dawn Study, works for Astronomy.

I am struggling with Shantaram. I may not finish it. The crime and poverty of India is depressing me and causes flash backs to things I saw there.

Are we o.k..."

If all books on the spreadsheet are read, we have 1 extra. So you should be good.

If it comes down to the end, I'll grab Gemina from my library and listen to it on the last day.

I opened up the spell-out for Lightning Hounds. We still need an N & L for Millenium Falcon, and an L, I, & A for Balefire Dragon. Please fill those in if your book works for one of those letters, before working on Hounds. Thanks!

@Benita - can you add a read date to First Grave on the Right, please?
