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

I'll put Mary's The Spirit Rebellion in, but please switch if there is a better one :)

Any journeys or mountains?

Well, we've said that in the past, so I think it's okay. I plunked in one of the Cold Cases there.
Mary's The Spirit Rebellion looks kinda brown

Any riddlers in your books?

Sphinx



The Greek Sphinx has been spotted on your lands and befuddling your citizens left and right. Requires some planning and moderate effort to defeat, send your smartest warriors and for the love of all the gods, don't confuse her with her good-for-nothing Egyptian cousin.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 200 and 299 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book where the characters go on a journey.
3.) Read a book where the MC must solve a riddle.
4.) Read a book with a mountain on cover.
5.) Read a book with a brown cover (at least 50%).

I saw you on there!! I was like "dang! She's fast!"

Perfect. I'll get on getting rid of the Manitcore.

Agreed!

I don't think so... the MC is named Archer and it seems to be a contemporary bodyguard book."

Ah ha. Too bad :)

I'm assuming Maddy's Archer's Aim has an archer? I wonder if he is a wise guy too?

I have an old classics one that hasn't been used yet - Brave New World. We could piece it together.

Here's our next dude

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.

Fabulous! I will dispose of the monster!!

Is she the one that is set to sail away in a boat? I’m just trying to remember my mythology:)

Here is our next beast!

Manticore



The man-eating Manticore has been terrorizing your people. Very hard to kill with 3 rows of sharp teeth that completely devour their victims. Not even the bones left to bury. If you find them, it's best to turn them into a nice 'Persian" rug before they decide to eat you first.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 500 and 650 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book set in Persia (Iran, Egypt, Turkey, Afghanistan and Pakistan).
3.) Read a book with the letters MAN EATER in title (any order).
4.) Read a book with MPG Paranormal > Shapeshifters.
5.) Read a book with a 3 in the publication date.

As the end is so close, we might as well use Close Protec..."

Sounds good.
I'm listening for an instrument in H is for Hawk just in case we need the stand for more than 800 pages.

I think we should use the Stand as the over 800. I have a feeling I’ll hear an instrument in H is for Hawk at some point

Yes! Then a new mini….

I have a book 8 if you have a book 6.

Also in general I DNFd The Rage of Dragons. I was enjoying it while I was readin..."

No worries.
I'll check out those pages.
I'm working through H is for Hawk and Princess now - but I should be able to finish those up tomorrow.

Nevermind the 8!
I'll try to get Janet Evonovich 6th out of the library.

I could cover the 8 of Agatha Raisin!
