Yes! They are all on Wait List status! BOO!

Added Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty for T31

HEADSUP!!

Apparently A Game of Thrones meets every Minotaur task!
BullHeaded - Defiance and Dedication (free on KU)

I'm snooping, because it seems that we're having trouble finding a few specific tasks...

Sorceress task can be met with:
The Good Shifter (free with KU)
Playing with Fire
Realm Breaker (maybe?)


PS - I would love to read these, but I need an audiobook since I'm in charge of deliveries this week, so I have to drive and I, unfortunately, can't read and drive. I need a Tesla with it's self-driving ability!

Is it possible to "hide" the completed monsters? I was just thinking it might be easier to see what we still need to defeat a monster!

They are needed Alaina! (and it should defeat a monster!)

I added the book I'm reading now for page numbers, I should finish it tomorrow, but if someone beats me finishing, feel free to move it out!

Oh perfect! A backup then, in case we end up with that monster again!

I'm been searching through my kindle library... but it's been slow going and it's always a book that I'm like... eh... why do I even have this book??

Bernadette wrote: "I always like to search (snoop?) other teams lists when looking for a complete tough task - snoop away! 😂🤣🧐"

SAME! See post: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I found 2 of the 4 on other teams sheets ....

So far, (for bull-headed or hard-headed) these are the 2 books that I found with that phrase, in case anyone is interested. I have no plans to read these (especially that 725 page one, but in case anyone else needs an option:

Empire of the Vampire - Note! This book is 725pgs!
White Hot
527 Naked Men and One Woman: The Adventures of a Love Investigator

There is also this, but the reference is not exact, so I'm not sure if that will work. Maybe a captain can weigh in:

"Good thing you've got a hard head." Hell's Highway

If this won't work, I have a book with volcano as well, but I haven't started it yet, so if Alaina's will work, she'll most likely finish long before I will!

I went ahead and bought (it's free on amazon) this book, because it has a deaf character : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...

I can read it after the 2 I'm currently reading are finished, unless someone else would like to... hint hint super reader Alaina! HAHA!

I'm certain that the MC is going to become a father and it will be mentioned in the Epilogue of the book I'm reading. Is that enough to meet the task, or does the main contents of the book need to have that "theme"?

Edit to add more explanation:
This is a Bridgerton book, so the 2 MCs will marry by the end of the book. Then in the epilogue, there will be a scene after time is passed and they have had children.

He is a mutt! His mom was a border collie lab mix, but he doesn't look a thing like her. The dad is a Catahoula mix of some sort.

I can never figure out how to post one of my own pictures in a comment, otherwise I'd show you a picture! He's cute!

He looks a lot like this dog:

How exciting that you rescued a new family member!

I've been dealing with my (overly intelligent and mischievous) 5 mo old puppy who has learned how to open doors and keeps leaving the house to run amok in the neighborhood while I chase him... in Alabama... with a heat index of 105F... I'm tired. LOL

Finished A Bad Day for Sunshine and added to tracker. It doesn't work for any of the current Monsters, but I made a list of what it does work for if we get it:

Echidna: MC is a mother, 350 to 450 pgs
Medusa: 350 to 450 pgs
Chimera: 350 to 450 pgs
Lamia: someone is kidnapped, child (under age 18) is an important part of the plot
Mares of Diomedes: Title contains all the letters of HERA
Nemean Lion: 350 to 450 pgs
Stymphalian Birds: 350 to 450 pgs

It looks like we've vanquished the Charybdis, do we get to spin for another monster yet?

Oh nevermind! I didn't realize that Melissa hadn't added a Read Date! I got excited!

I might also pick up A..."

Mama - I think she meant watching Game of Thrones - for the A Storm of Swords book, not the other series.... admittedly, my immediate thought was, watching??? and then I realized she meant the other book.
