Okay, that's good.

Another bull for us all..
Cretan Bull



The Cretan Bull has been spotted running amok across your lands destroying defensive walls and crops alike. He is hard to defeat and really should of been sacrificed as the gods intended. Also, not opposed to participating in some marriage infidelity. So there may be some surprises popping out 9 months from now.

To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 350 and 450 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book with a white cover.
3.) Read a book where something physical is destroyed (e.g., building burning down and not a relationship being ruined).
4.) Read a book where the MC ignores important advice.
5.) Read a book with a 7 in the page count.

Oh boy. I hope all is okay! Good luck!

Cerebrus is dead! Awaiting another monster...

I'm going to substitute Elen's A Darkling Plan for Kit's Rage of Dragons - which we can save for a future task :)

I just found Wimbledon in the book I'm reading, so that will count for Python also. Now we just need one of those short books :)

Nice. I used one for the birds, and I see you have one for the python. Excellent.

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).

Here we go, kids!
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).

Sounds good. I’m without a computer until later. I remember that Mary has an 800 pager. We’ll see about the other task.

Perfect. I'll finish mine today and then we will slay that monster.

The book was on my TBR since 2012... I can say it was not worth the wait."

Did it help you fall asleep ? :)

Nice. We'll bank it for sure.

Or any characters ignore important advice?

We have some really nice books banked.
Any of those characters take a boat ride somewhere?

Maddy, I'm going to use Haunted for the page count for the Sirens, unless you were thinking of it for anything else?

It looks like Elen filled in for Wilder Girls - so let's bank it and hope for another bull :)
Carrie fisher had an interesting life! I'm really working on not saying "but she's Princess Leia!"

Awesome! Thanks!
