I loved Fear Street too!! Now, I'm on the hunt for its audiobooks! 😁

I was referring to this so I thought the audio might work.

A good rule of thumb is that if the audio is over 3 hours, the book will be long enough. The audio is 3 hours and 1 minute 🤣🤣🤣

Just put in the reason on the ss. :)

It was my favorite series when I was growing up too and reading it again this time feels nostalgic. :)

I'm reading Monster Blood right now. The word count should be over 30,000 right? Its word count is only 22,280 but the audio is exactly 3 hours. If it cannot be used, it's okay, I have to read it for another challenge anyway.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 350 and 450 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book that takes place in Asia Minor (Italy, Greece, Albania, Macedonia,..."

The book that I just finished matches two prompts for this monster.

Suzanne, I can send you a copy of the audio/ebook if you are not able to find a copy.

Finished two books today, updated it on the sheet with the possible prompts.

Oh oh my bad 🤦‍♀️

I just realized the Black Hills works for the lion prompt as one MC owns/works for a Wildlife Refuge. They have lions, cougars, etc. I was thinking maybe we can switch it off and I'll start Calico Joe since that one is set in rural/suburb Arkansas. I just had to read that book for my other challenge.

Alyana, there are no snakes in the forest of Malorie?"

Would you believe they didn't encounter snakes in the forest? 🙊

I can read it for next week, and I will try to look for other books that will best fit for the monsters.

The book Malorie, there's a part
where they were walking in the middle of the forest I think and they felt like there was a deer or a lion close to them (they are not sure since they are blindfolded). Is that acceptable?

Ushashi wrote: "Alyana wrote: "I have a book that has 288 pages so I can take that."

does it fit any of the other two prompts?"

The book is Calico Joe.. Sorry but no fire on the cover and the rating is 3.85. I have Ralph's Party - I tried to search for goat/lion/snake, it has mentioned goats but as an idiomatic expression. That doesn't count right?

I have a book that has 288 pages so I can take that.

I just put in the reason for The Da Vinci Code for the riddle prompt. Do I need to specify the exact riddle too? And also for the brown cover, it looks really brown to me, I can put the percentage when I get to my computer.

I finished a book today. It doesn't fit with any of our current monsters but can be used for the future ones. I'm still in a slump, sorry for reading slow, this is not my usual pace..

Done. I hope the justification is enough for the prompt.

Oops! haha.. I just fixed it now..

I have finished one book earlier and entered it on the SS. Did I do it right? lol
