Oooh great. I've got it coming from the library later on this week.

Here is a list of classic monsters. I'd love to help out with the tasks.

Any particular ones you'd like me to do.. PM me. 😁

Oh and is The Master a monster? Certainly the biggest recurring villain throughout the show's history.

I was holding it until after TT"

Excuse me for butting into your thread.. but yay, yay, yay. Can't wait for the new monsters.. perfect timing after TT. Thanks so much 😍

And keep going on the Dr Who Monster Wheel. That will be awesome!

Thanks Vicky. That's great.

Kabandha is a goner. Next monster is HODAG (Urban).

That is Monster no 49. We might need a spreadsheet extension soon... by one of you Spreadsheet gurus! 😍 Many thanks.

All good. Andy.. I'll leave it to you then and read the two 500+.

If something happens and you can't get to it, give me a shout out. I probably only need about 3 days to read the Alex Craft if needs be.

Love the Team work. 💕

Okies.. I have about a day and half to finish my current book and if nobody pops in to claim the task I'll start on the Alex Craft. I really liked this series but I really am on Team Death so I hope it ends with a huge HEA.. 😍

I could read this one which has character Death and Witches..

or I have two 500+ pages books in the queue also but probably can't read all three in the time left. What would you prefer?
