Mini Challenge: MC Plays guitar

I moved Lord of Ravens to Mythology and will be placing Rites of Winter into guitar if you want to update post 315

Lol I somehow forgot I could do that 😂

So I'm listening to the last few books of the series we've used for a couple of these and most of them have the same tags but I would suggest moving "Lord of Ravens" to Mythology, as the book in the series now will work for plays guitar but Mythology hasn't been tagged again. The book now is Rites of Winter if you want to plug it in for guitar.

The other books I have planned for the challenge that I have to finish this week are:
--Sigils of Spring (of what's left it would work for wizard/witch or set in CA)
--Love Him Wild (White Suit/white hat-since we were told any white male clothes work; MPG Erotica; MC is a doctor)
--My Everything(MPG Erotica)
--Witchbane(Witch/Wizard, MPG Mystery)

Mini Challenge:
MPG LGBT
MPG Romance
MC Has a Twin
MC is only child
Set in California
Character is a witch/wizard
Book set in a “dark” world (the world is mostly normal, but there is definitely a lot of evil in this book and dark is a MPG, so this one’s iffy but I think it works)

Okay I have some books planned that will cover 3 reverses and some mini challenges (including Permed hair!)

Call Down the Hawk (Reverse, MPG LGBT, Bird on cover)

Carry On (Reverse, MPG LGBT, MPG Romance, Character is wizard, 2 men, 500+ pages)--I think we should use this one for 500+ pages

Wolfsong (Reverse, Shapeshifter, MPG LGBT, MPG Romance)

And then one's that aren't reverse, but I think will get us some of the harder mini challenge
Wales: His Royal Secret
Detroit: Mine
Permed Hair: Trailer Trash

If anyone else has books planned for these let me know!

I have a couple books to read for other challenges this week, but I was hoping to tackle some of the reverses next week. I will try to get them to work with some of the harder mini challenge ones too (although I almost guarantee I wont find permed hair if someone else wants too lol)

Just to be sure, character with participation in the story and dialogs?"

So I was able to get the book through scrib'd and did a search. It appears Frank Baker is an alias that is used multiple times in the book by one of the MC's. I'm pretty sure that makes it enough right?

Lol I knew that’d be confusing! There are two POV MCs. One is a twin, the other is an only child.

Is anyone reading books to cover the last 2 red cards? I have one that will work for red 9 and red 5(we can move the current red 5 to red 4), but I'll save either for next month if they're already covered!

Some more info for certain categories of the mini challenge!

*Shelves/MPGs must be exact.

*Task 2: A Mage will also count

*Task 4: a non-fic book about criminal organisation is also accepted

*Task 6. Read a book with a white suit or white hat on the cover
- hat can be a man's woman's
- besides the suit, any white men's clothing is accepted

Task 11. Read a book with a leopard on the cover or the word "leopard" in the title - panther will also be accepted on cover/in title. THE CLUE IS STILL LEOPARD!

*Task 14 - For Scandinavia: Iceland, Greenland, Faroe Islands & Finland will also be accepted besides Denmark/Norway/Sweden.

*Task 18 - it can be a solitary diamond on the cover as well

*Task 20 - Erotica can be an embedded MPG, e.g.: adult fiction - erotica

*Task 21. Read a book where the MC is a doctor/nurse - Must be a medical doctor
for nurse/doctor book, if someone would prefer reading e.g. a memoir-biography by/about a doctor/nurse, that would be acceptable as well.

*Task 23
(a character with permed hair/a character getting their hair permed) gets you 10 points.
The Meg Ryan hair reference will be accepted as an "extra" in any of the books you use for the mini challenge, whether it's for the permed hair or some other task, for that you get 5 bonus points "only".
For the "Meg Ryan hair" the wording/phrasing can be different as long as the reference is there

*Task 30 - Dance or Dances can both be accepted in title

*Task 31 - updated - Read a book with MPG Mystery or Mystery-Detective


*Task 33: Everything on cover must be black and white, gray. So something like One of Us is Lying would NOT work for this task

Male Character is Wearing His Hair Long

I have guesses for those two (one is a stretch but the clue said think associations). I want to look deeper into 34-36 because I can't see how it fits two men

ETA: Couldn't think of anything else so I'm good for submitting them for review whenever
