@Tammie & CB. You got 2 available vowels. I believe one time Berit did that, the U was also unavailable! At least I found a red 500 page Be book! Not that I’m bragging or anything!

I'm double checking on the name of the prize, but I don't think it will be a problem. It's listed as a winner on the Womens Prize For Fiction website you linked above.

I was being sarcastic. I just went down the list and Murder Runs in the Family was the first I came to with a US author. So I put that one in there. I think that U spot is one we need, for sure!
New Task86 - X Books - Read a book with a title contains an X
Our new one is MPG Science Fiction. I'm sure we probably already have something.ETA: Delusion in Death works, so we have another opening in the Mod Tower.
And we get to the One World Trade Center Tower. I wonder if we have any books set in USA, or by USA author? :)
We have The Case for Keto: Rethinking Weight Control and the Science and Practice of Low-Carb/High-Fat Eating already read. It's MPG Science. This will open up another mod tower task.

Tammie will probably want to pounce on this one for the rainbow. If so, I can listen to What If? 2. I enjoyed the first one, and I listen to audios at 2x speed, so it's only a few hours.

I changed it to 76, but didn't put in a brown cover yet. I prefer to leave the rainbow to you!
New Task82 - X-Rays - Read a book with MPG Science
Unclaimed tasks:
70 - 10 Awards - Read a book that won the Women's Prize for Fiction
Post 486 has a link and a bunch of the recent winners listed
76 - 10 Commandments - "Don't covet" - Read a book that you've been really wanting to read (any justification valid here, really!)
Stacey has one that works here, but we would like to get one that doesn't also cover a Rainbow spot
77 - Solve for X - Read a book with mathematical symbols on the cover
Post 485 has a couple of recommendations for this one. If you're book has an exclamation point on the cover (not part of the title), that also works. They are used in Fractals.
78 - X-Files - Read a book by Gillian Anderson, or an author named Gillian
A quick Goodreads search shows that there are quite a few authors named Gillian Anderson
80 - Ten Tallest Towers 2 - Merdeka 18 - Read a book set in, or by an author from Malaysia
Post 499 has a few links for Malaysia setting/authors
For the science one, I highly recommend
. The audio is read by Wil Wheaton, they are quick, and amusing. If no one else has something after a few days, I'll grab the 2nd one of those from my library.Also, we've completed 72 tasks! That's more than halfway!
I was so excited, because I remembered that one of the book boxes I subscribe to was doing The Fourth Wing for July. But then I realized it was The Bookish Box, and it'll probably be 6 months before I get it. :)

The gold colored spots are for books that fit tasks we know we're going to get.
The tasks on the Chipmunk tab that are purple are the ones that still need someone to claim them.
New Task - Halfway point!80 - Ten Tallest Towers 2 - Merdeka 18 - Read a book set in, or by an author from Malaysia
The task says spade/shovel/pick-ax. It might be a regional difference, because I have seen that tool called a trowel, but I’ve also heard spade. So it works.
If anyone is interested in reading this one,
has mathematical symbols on the cover. It says it's #4 in the series, but it's actually 2 slightly related trilogies, so it's fine to start with this one. The first trilogy focuses on Chemistry, so the covers don't have the math.

We might need to check with the mods on that one, as the other team just used an exclamation point in the title, I think.

From snooping in another team thread, I discovered that the ! is used in math for Fractals. So that will work for this task.
