Drop Bear



The Drop Bear has been rumored to inhabit your wooded lands. They may look cute and cuddly but beware they are very hard to defeat and come out of nowhere. Just remember, all wildlife from Australia is apparently out to kill you, no matter how cute.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 500 and 650 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book set in Australia.
3.) Read a book with a surprise twist (your interpretation).
4.) Read a book with a carnivore on the cover (make sure it's not an omnivore!).
5.) Read a book with author initials found in VEGEMiTE.

Last one?

Centaur



The Centaurs have over run the forests on your lands and are taking no prisoners (sorry Prometheus). In a new category of moderately hard to defeat, they shouldn't be underestimated. In fact, in most realms they are known for their intelligence, so plan your attack well.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 300 and 349 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book with a forest on the cover.
3.) Read a book where a character is an archer.
4.) Read a book with MPG Classics.
5.) Read a book where a character is considered wise.

Stacy, could you put A Curse So... on your TT list?

This is such an addiction!

I found a quick one set in Cambodia…

Oof
We don't have to tackle this one..

Chimera



The Chimera has been spotted on your lands causing destruction everywhere it goes. Hard to kill and known to have multiple personality disorder, be prepared for chaos.

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, Bulgaria, Turkey, Egypt, Libya, Israel and Lebanon).
3.) Read a book with "spear" in the text.
4.) Read a book with MPG War.
5.) Read a book that features a lion, goat, or snake.

😁 Laurie!! 🎉

I can take my hot six book off of the lemon lady and put in a different page count Book. Then maybe get another and see what we can do with it!?

The amount of auto correct I just had to do on that message was incredible.

I’ll finish up what I can on monster stuff At about noon but then I’m off for the weekend! Camping and s’mores :-)

No worries at all Nanci!

I’m with you Teresa. I was thinking of trying to squeeze in a Cambodia book but I just don’t think that’s gonna happen! I’m thinking we did pretty darn good on the monsters! I’m gonna print out the rules for the next mini and try to figure that one out. Nanci has a good head start for us on that one!

Lamia



The Lamia has been spotted on your lands and the disappearances of children are on the rise. Requires some planning and moderate effort to defeat, look to the stars for the answers and to the shadows for the monster.


To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 200 and 299 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book with the night sky on the cover.
3.) Read a book where someone is kidnapped.
4.) Read a book that features a prophecy.
5.) Read a book where a child (under age 18) is an important part of the plot.

Penanggalan



The Penanggalan has been hunting on your city streets. They may not be well known in this part of the world, but that doesn't make them less deadly. Learn what you can about them before planning your attack, it may be what saves your life.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book 800 pages or longer.
2.) Read a book set in Southeast Asia (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timore-Leste, Vietnam).
3.) Read a book where author identifies as female.
4.) Read a book with MPG Paranormal.
5.) Read a book with the word "vinegar" in text.

Looks awesome! I'll get a couple more monsters!
I'll be here until about 1:00 EST - 3 hours before the end of this one, I think. Then I'll be out of touch until Sunday afternoon.

No worries! I went way over my limit.

@Teresa nice.
I have an Australian book, but I’m not sure I can finish it by tomorrow.

Our monster mini will be drawing to a close tomorrow at 9PM GMT +1!
We can get 5 points per task, even if we don't defeat the monsters.
A new challenge awaits! It is in the All about / Announcements. It looks like a lot of fun :)
