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

There's also Read a book with "fig" in the title or text. That would finish Charybdis. We'd just have to move Paris' book somewhere else!

I would think so.

Alaina wrote: "Would Long Walk Home (Hope of Sudan #1) by DiAnn Mills count for plain landscape?"

Hmmm... possibly. Although I think road could be problematic.... we need another opinion!

These 2 are needed for Nemean Lion, if you could find a single book (which I would think is doable... maybe, lol)

Read a book that takes place in Africa.
Read a book with an open plain landscape on the cover.

Thank the GODS I finally finished this dang book. I posted it on the tracker for T108 and T110, but can someone verify whether or not we're ok with the HANDS on the cover!?

haha! Indeed, I will.

Does the penalty affect the total page points, or the page point overage? I'm just curious. I would assume there could be some advantage to over-reading, if one was reading such a significant amount more? But maybe not.

Does that mean that *technically speaking* we can read up to 693 books before the penalty sets in?

I was just looking at our Book Target... I am going to finish Hades regardless, but should I not read more books, since we've gone over? Did we go over last month, or did we have some reserve room available?

And, out of curiosity, does the penalty apply to books OVER the cap, or to ALL books once we go over the cap?

Yes, if the tasks are all for the same monster

Hey team! Sorry I haven't been around, I've been struggling with keeping focused.

I really think I will actually finish this dumb book I'm reading today/tonight (I'm at 73%) and after looking at the sheet it can be used in a couple places, but it's best area is Nemean Lion

features a cat (cat shifter accepted) - MC owns a cat named Sammy
Both hands (of one person) visible on cover- MAYBE-get approval



I can see his hands, but what do you think? Do we need to see allll of his hands?

gosh, it certainly looks like fire! bummer

I think I might have to see what other questions people come up with so that I can get a handle on this genre business....

Good questions Alaina! I think asking Cat in the group might be best, because I honestly can't decide!

Alaina wrote: "This might be a stretch, but I did find "bull's-head helm" in my book. I have a feeling that wouldn't work though."

Yeah, I think they made a statement to the fact that it had to be "headed" and the only difference was the inclusion of the hyphen.

Alaina wrote: "Ooo I did find hard-headed in the grimrose girls! Okay, so I will definitely finish a clash of kings and grimrose girls today. That would definitely help defeat the other minotaur."

You're just amazing!

I wish I had more reading time on the weekend, but I end up doing nothing if I sit and read, and then everything is a disaster the following week. Adulting is just dumb.

Alaina have you seen the new supergroup challenge yet!? I want your thoughts! I'm honestly still trying to sort through all the info!

Alaina wrote: "I also started the second book in that series, . It works for everything but bull-headed or hard-headed."

Awesome!

Elinor and anyone else, BOM DQ volunteering is still open for Malibu Rising if you think you might be able to read that one and write questions: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I volunteered, but it would be great to have a back up too! I planned on reading this book anyway. I haven't found the other one Ariadne at my library yet. If it wasn't so expensive on Kindle I'd just buy it, but not for $16.

Alaina wrote: "I finished which kind of looks like it has some fire on it - maybe the embers towards the bottom? Or the glowing tattoos? Not sure."

Ooo, tricky! I was looking at it here: images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/S/compressed.photo....

I can't decide, there's definitely embers!

Ok, I'm caught up! So glad you got to read and finish Game of Thrones Alaina! If we haven't defeated our other Minotaur by Monday, I'll grab it and read it (I'm guessing 2-3 days of listening between working).

The supergroup challenge looks WILD, but I'm excited for it!

I will hopefully finish Hades (that works for T62 and will defeat the Mares of Diomedes) today, but if someone else has a fire cover book finished before me, feel free to move it... Hades has other tasks it will work for! I have a few things to get done today, so I may not finish until this evening.

Unfortunately, I have nothing that works for Medusa at the moment. I'll look at the next book(s) in the series after Hades and see if something might work. They are pretty quick reads if I can just sit down long enough to read them.

Holy moly! I got super busy this weekend and missed a ton. I'm off to go catch up!

I finished The Alice Network, but I'm about to be at a follow up appointment, so I can't update until I am back, just FYI in case it's needed.
