Suzanne’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Rolling in the Deep covers all of the tasks for Sirens except rope on the cover. BUT - the kindle version is listed as 79 pages, so if we use that one we'd have to either read the hardcover or the audiobook (since it uses the default page # which is that of the hardcover).

Sirens



The Sirens have been spotted on your shores endangering ships heading for the harbor. Easy enough to defeat if you know how, don't recommend calling them one hit wonders though.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 100 and 125 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book that takes place on a boat or ship.
3.) Read a book with a character who is deaf (any degree acceptable)
4.) Read a book with a rope on the cover.
5.) Read a book with "Mermaid" in the text.

Ok all done with that Harpie book! I wonder what monster we will get next.

Yeah - so true! I'll switch to that one. I'm about an hourish away from finishing my Africa book, but that monster still has missing tasks, so killing the harpie would be better.

I have access to "Of Dragons,..." and could knock it off in a couple of hours. But I thought we were able to use some books to fill in like 3 of the tasks already? I'm not sure the best strategy here?

But anyway, let me know if you'd like me to do that. I guess the good thing there is we could get a new monster.

I'd call it a feast because it sounds like a lot of special good food. But ???

yay!!

@Ashlee I put it in the spreadsheet but without a link since I'm not sure what edition you're reading. So just fill in the link and pages when you are able.

I'll read Blue Shoes and Happiness which is set in Africa. From the description it also has a snake in it, so if someone has/reads an Africa book first we can save mine for something.

I think I can get it done today (or tomorrow).

At first I couldn't see it, but yes, I can see a lightning bolt coming from the cloud down to the "C". Good find Ashlee.

(I also just finished a book that has a goat.)

I found a book that fits the Location, MPG War, and goat, snake tasks. BUT I haven't even started it yet and it's 490 pages. I'd guess I'd finish it Friday or Saturday. I can put it in for the tasks now if you'd like, or I can wait til it's done if the tasks are still available. Just let me know what is better strategy.

Wow those Chimeras....they love our land.

I'm going to put Angels & Demons in for the character solves a riddle. So we'll just need a mountain on cover.

I wasn't sure it was a riddle (the characters follow clues to try to stop a bomb from going off), but I looked up some things this morning and it's specifically listed on "great riddles", "the riddles of Angels & Demons" and a couple other websites.

Awesome Cris! It's great to have another one almost done.

Of course I don't mind - that's great! I didn't notice that one or I would have suggested it

That's awesome it fits 3 tasks!

p. 262 "I saw him at the World Cup last year."

I'll check right now.

I finished a book yesterday (The Lighthouse Witches) that has a pregnant MC if we want to use it for 4.

Leslie - T60 needs it if you want to put it there :)
