Wow!
How is it, reading it on your phone? I have not been brave enough to tackle that one yet.

Argus



Argus has been seen on your lands with a case of the dry-eyes. Very hard to kill but can be distracted with white cows. He is vigilant and a great bodyguard as he doesn't need to sleep by only resting a few eyes at a time. Enjoys a good olive, may look for him taking a respite in an olive tree grove.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 500 and 650 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book with at least 2 pairs of eyes visible on cover.
3.) Read a book with a rock on the cover.
4.) Read a book with character works in protective profession (e.g., police, security guard, bodyguard).
5.) Read a book with "olive" found in text.

Sounds like fun!!
I got scared off by the first Stranger Things episode of this season, but I'll probably go back to it. After Obi Wan.

Would you all consider this pool a "body of water?"

Our new beast!

2.) Read a book with a body of water on the cover.
3.) Read a book that features a sacrifice of some type (your interpretation).

See if there are any funerals in that Rage of Dragons :)

Cerberus



Cerberus has decided to take a jaunty run through your lands before returning to the underworld. He's very hard to defeat, don't let those 6 puppy dog eyes fool you. May want to bring some milk bones and tennis balls.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 500 and 650 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book where a funerary celebration/service takes place.
3.) Read a book with MPG Music.
4.) Read a book with a musical instrument on the cover.
5.) Read a book that is #3 in a series.

Excellent! We'll see what the next monster is....

Teresa wrote: "Do we have a short book in the works? If not I can knock one out today."

Not officially. Stacy might work on one, but she was totally fine if someone else got there first.

Perfect!
I'll get rid of the body :)

Sweet. My friend has been wanting me to read it for a while now.

Good grief, I’ve read it. Time for a refresher.

Nevermind! I still need to read

Well, what do you all think? I was looking at the white cover shelf, and they don't look too off of this cover

I'm just not sure...

Nvrmind it’s grey :( a very light grey… :(

Nice! I’ve got one I can try out.
