ok so i looked through my tbr again and here's what i have if we need it, just let me know what you want me to read troll title: Troll's Eye View: A Book of Villainous Tales
devil title: Devil's Due or The Devil in Silver
graveyard cover: The Black Parade
pink title: Prisoner of Ice and Snow or Moxie
cat cover: Gods and Monsters: The Adventures of Loki and Cara
[i'm assuming a panther counts as a cat]
[edit: also where did you even go to find a book for calm/relax? i can't find any variation that even has a book tagged 10 times]
ok i started False Hearts today for the book with a heart on the cover. what other preliminary tasks do we still have unfinished? i might be able to pick up another one if i've got anything that works

book 7 task 5: multiple characters dies [see above]
ok i'm sorry but i'm gonna have to take that back pink cover book, i'm not even through the first chapter and i'm already rolling my eyes and further examination of the reviews mention 'cringey sex scenes' which i only assume will involved the infuriating werewolf love interest so i am gonna have to dnf this loli will try out the heart on the title one later though. i've dnf'ed the last 3 books i've started so hopefully that one will finally be a winner

triwizard task: book shelved at least 50 times as 'wish' - this book is shelved 64 times as 'wishlist'

good idea! i can't wait to start this one. i love all the books in this series but i think most people agree that this one is where things really take off
i think any book finished after august counts towards triwizard so we should be able to add them to other tasks after we finish the prelim ones right?
@Michelle i told Jenny that i would do it if absolutely no one else would lol so i guess if it's about time for the puzzle to go up and you still don't have any takers then message me or post something here@Jenny wow you've got a LOT of books to read lol. i can take over the love one with Stake Sauce, Arc 1: The Secret Ingredient Is Love. No, Really and i can maybe do the heart on cover and pink title, let me get through mort and stake sauce first

ok, i might put it off for a week or so but i do want to make sure i finish it before the end of the challenge so that's probably the best i can do. i'd still be happy to talk about it with you though if you don't get it back for quite awhile
