Oooh. Check out this 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.

I've got a short ghost book I can read tonight, and then not sleep, and try to finish another :)

Definitely.

I'm not really sure!

Perfect. Can you tag it on your tt shelf?

Do you have the quote / page number? I'm not sure how specific they are.

Let's finish off the Minotaur, and then bank Maddy's 800 book for later :)

I just finished this yesterday!
I'll be interested in what you think.

I have one that has an Olympic swimmer, but I don't think it mentions Olympics. I wonder if that would work?

I think Nanci has a book for this one!

Next up!
Python



Python has been seen on your lands, searching for Apollo and Artemis. He's not that hard to kill as Greek monsters go being just a really big snake, may be interested in ladies with buns. Be warned though, his death may require a penance be paid to satisfy Zeus.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 100 and 125 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book that features twins.
3. Read a book whose author name (first or last) starts with a letter in SWORD.
4.) Read a book where a character is pregnant.
5.) Read a book that mentions some type of championship games (World Cup, Olympics, World Series, etc).

Whoops. Nevermind!
I'll bank hers. Looks like we've got a bit to go on that beast.

I just found one from Mary Jo - The Cornish Coast Murder - I'll put that one in for this monster and slay it, then save Malibu for later :)

Excellent! I never looked at the cover closely. I always thought they were flying...

I looked through our spreadsheet and found a bunch of folks standing on a rock from Laurie! Slaying that monster now.

Okay jumping around the Agatha Raisin books, I found a rock. I should go through ones we haven’t used yet too for those covers.

Which one is the body guard one again?

Teresa wrote: "ooh... Looking through I also have task 4 -police officer... I'll add that too

That leaves 500-650 pgs and rock on cover"

Nice!
Found a bird book. Will look for rocks

I'm not sure. It's such a gamble! I think we should get what we can get when we can get it:) I could always read a Janet Y. #6 book. It doesn't seem as though you have to read them in order?

That 500 - 650 page limit is a weird one. It looks like a few folks are in those books now, so that will help! I picked up a Poldark book, which usually flies by quickly - 500 some odd pages.
