I bet a book 6 or 8. I haven’t heard anyone covering them.

Lion shifter works!

Someone new!
Kraken



The Kraken has been seen in the sea depths near you land, destroying ships on a whim. If defeated, you will always wonder how you managed to survive. May be searching for Andromeda or Pegasus, he's a bit bitter they got away.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book 800 pages or longer.
2.) Read a book with a ship on the cover (spaceship allowed because Mods can be benevolent too).
3.) Read a book where the Author name (first or last) starts and ends with the same letter (e.g., Andromeda)
4.) Read a book where a character goes swimming
5.) Read a book that has an 8 in the series number (e.g., #8, #18, #0.8)

I loved these books. I was completely absorbed in her life, and I still think about them! They are harsh though.

Sounds good. I was trying to find a mystery series with a mother as a sleuth. I'm glad Heather took that one, because I couldn't find one! I would still like to try one, if anyone knows of a mother sleuth :) Cozy mysteries are just fine, but others are good too.

Sweet!

Awesome! Thanks!

Maybe we can find a mother with a sword? I feel like all the mothers I read about are dying of something. We need a bold mother!

Excellent.
Birds are gone!
But the mothers are baaaaccckkkk....

Echidna



Echidna aka the Mother of Monsters has been spotted on your lands. Hard to kill and looking for some quality "me time".

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 350 and 450 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book with CAVE in text.
3.) Read a book where a character uses a sword.
4.) Author name (first and last) contain all the letters in HERA
5.) Read a book where a MC is a mother

Riiiiight… I’ll make a note of that! I’m reading H is for Hawk for the bird task.

Teresa, just let us know what musical instrument they played in The Skinny on Djinni

Aha! We have a couple of these banked! Whoot Whoot!

Okay, I might be whining a bit....


Stymphalian Birds



Stymphalian Birds have been seen filling your orchards and causing delays in harvesting. They are hard to defeat because of their numbers. Music can soothe the savage beasts, may want to try metal bands.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 350 and 450 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book that is #6 in a series.
3.) Read a book with a musical instrument mentioned in the text.
4.) Read a book with something metal on the cover.
5.) Read a book that features a bird (bird shifter accepted).

lol!
Who knows! Sometimes I'm ahead, sometimes I'm behind :)

Oops! I was thinking for Warships? Sorry!

Phew, I know it. I'm trying to find a snake book set in Asia Minor. Not something you can ask at the book store without an incredulous face!
I'm sleepy, so forgive me, but do we still need an answer for these questions? I can seek one out.

Is this for the monster "set in" part? I think there is no need for tags for that one.

I should be finished with my sorceress book soon!

Do you want me to put you on the spreadsheet for warships for Witch's Heart?

I think that gives us 5 spots! Eni has one too. So perfect.

Sure! I’m reading Princess for the feminism one too :)
