Well.. since I love every 0.# from the Incryptid series or whatever #.5 from the Kate Daniels series, this one is a dubious line.... perfect!

Feel your pain... Grey and the twilight genre swap were great sources of irritation.

I loved Walking Disaster though, but I was in a new adult kick and obsessed with Travis at the time

Ohhhhh I didn't know how to call it... Not it will be Milking the Cow!!!!!

I might need to group a couple of them into this one.

Why didn't I think of coming here sooner? I'm having so much fun! I guess I missed the creativity outlet of thinking on tasks.

Thank you!!!

And Sammy, the Freckle Constellation is the first one to make the cut!!!

*evil giggle*

Soooo, for those that are "monster experienced" how many of those does a wheel need?

Because I lost the fight with myself.. that wheel is happening.

Also... shouldn't you all be reading instead of lurking?

Oh lordie.. brain is in plotting mode... what have you done?

[EDIT] I have a ton of mobile app bugs to retest today.... and some screenshots to paste on a boring document.

Ooooohhhh those are even better. I like the way you think

*runs off to google*

So... ahem *crack knuckles*

Dog Eared Pages
Broken Spines
“Stickers” on Covers
Redesigned Movie Covers
I’m not like other girls
Author’s name larger than the title
Mid-series cover changes
Poor editing/grammar
Cliffhangers I wasn’t expecting or surprise sequels/series
Too stupid to live characters
Lack of communication between characters, so there’s needless drama/catastrophes
Christmas books that don’t have any Christmas in them!
Book descriptions or covers that misrepresent the book’s contents
Poor research into subject matter, such as locations or historical events/time periods

(It was a Top Ten Tuesday blog topic, and I just found it!)

You know.. simple things like "Clipping your nails in public" or "Leaving hair in the drain/sink" or major crimes like "dog earring book pages" and "Spoilers"

How about a Pet Peeves Monster Wheel?

*giggles*

OK... once my brain can focus instead of being all over the place, I shall put together some crazy and uncommon ideas. Then you do with them what you want.

Not going to be anytime soon because when I finish work I don't want to look at my computer anymore

seriously, is there no limit to the evil your brain can concoct? 😨"

Back in the day I was known for having an idea, plot and outline challenges in the 10 minutes it took from my parents' place to mine.

Only thing I had to do when I got home, was to turn laptop on, type and pretty it up.

Oh, and we had a Math from A to Z challenge. Lots of ideas in there.

For some reason, this made me think we need a Math Monster Wheel, with square roots, logarithms, Pi, etc.

I blame final fantasy 7 rebirth... because when I think on reading.. brain tells me it rather be playing. So that's what I do. LOL

Doesn't the challenge starting tomorrow?

I'm not playing but I could swear the 15th ringed a bell.

Also, the necromancer was a serial, meaning, the page number is 100ish... meaning I can tackle those pesky slow page counts :D

Cool

Too bad is tags and not title... BUT,


Has teeth on cover and 118 pages. So. I take 4 & 5

Special book editions you say

Soooo, district 1 is known for their jewelers, right?

You mean lots of people that spend their lives like this?
