Sadly, no MPG or FPG

[Cat]

Can't believe no one has tagged Wintersmith with Morris Dancing!

Two lists. Which one is real?

1. Sci-fi, Suspense, Space opera, Fiction, Dystopian

2. Romance, Vegetables, Vampi..."

Where's the alien dragon sex? or the tree sex?

The Mistress of Lust is disappointed in her co-captain. :P

[Melindam]

Cat, I just did!

Judith, I didn't want to give away the genres that I REALLY liked. The consequences of that would be disastrous.

[Lexi]

I mean the really mean thing would be non-fiction on slime molds or the history of scientific nomenclature, except I would read both those things.

[Cat]

No one else going to put their head above the parapet with a genre listing?!

Mine include: Space Opera; Satire; History; Mystery; Scandi-Noir
Mine exclude: Home Improvement; Brown; Horror

That is the exact book I thought of when I saw "Morris Dancing"!

Yay, even the talk of a new team challenge is making me smile. Along with putting BDSM next to Christian Fiction..hee hee.

Bring on the Challenge!

[Jenny]

I agree with Lexi that tags are more fun than MPG. Some of the tags are great!

And, fungus? Really? teehee

[Lexi]

There seem to be more books tagged fungi so I might have to change it. Also, corvids has some fun books: The Raven Tower, The Raven Boys, Hollow Kingdom

[Lexi]

Sadly, no one has tagged a book iridescent and there is only one pointy book.

Edited: Someone has tagged Twilight as smarmy, my life is complete.

[Jenny]

I see some fun tag searches in the future...obsequious, distal, sponge-worthy, flatulent, and of course, thud.

[Alysa]

I'll see your thud and raise you one plop.

[Lexi]

Results:
Jenny: obsequious (0), distal (0), sponge-worthy(47), flatulent(0), and thud(58)

Alysa: plop(45)

I cannot however find a theme for either thud or plop

[Jenny]

I am not a Seinfeld fan, but I am not surprised that there are a few sponge-worthy tags.

Gonna grab my copy of The Highly Selective Dictionary for the Extraordinarily Literate, and look for some more fun words. After I feed myself and pour a scotch.

[Melindam]

Include: Fantasy, Classics, Golden-age detective fiction, Children's/middle-grade, Romance

Exclude: Horror, Cosy-mystery, Apocalypse, Scandi-Noir, Erotica

Awwww, don't be like that... half of our past challenges wouldn't be half the fun without it.

[Sonia]

Oh dear.. I have no clue this time... my life is over!

Okay... I'll bite too:

IN: Urban-Fantasy; LGBT; Romance; Young Adult; Mystery-Thriller
OUT: Horror; Classics; Retellings

[Sonia]

And I also prefer the tags.

One of my favorite challenges was the tag challenge from wacky challenges. You know... when I had no life besides being on goodreads. I wouldn't trade it. But I miss it sometimes

[Eldarwen]

How is life on the other side, Sonia?

Already wondering what we're brewing?? ;-)

Strangely quiet without the chipmunks.

Wondering? Me? Naaaa... whatever crazy wonderings I could have they wouldn't stand a chance against the real thing... so I rather wait for the surprise.

I know how deviant you all are. Even if peeps around here think that it was only me... ah! they'll see. They'll see so hard!

[Eldarwen]

*grin*

We had a good master.... ;-)))

[Sonia]

Also... since I am not up for captain yet, can I pick a team to be with? Or rather a few names for you to choose from...Cause there's a bunch of them I would love to be with and can't decide. LOL

[Sonia]

Eldarwen wrote: "*grin*

Ahhhahahahahahah

Yeah, the master was totally conquered by the students during sinful towers.. so.. I cannot wait to see

[Sammy]

I am sooooo going to regret this...

No: YA, romance, (YA romance!), crime, chick lit, anything ever featured in Oprah's bookclub that isn't also a classic (I'm sure that's a genre! lol)

I'm not the only one!!!!! I tend to shy away from books after I find out that they are on Oprah's book club list. Thought I was just being a snob, then I remember reading The Bridges of Madison County, and I feel good about avoiding that list again. Gah.

I formulated that particular opinion a very many years ago when she read an excerpt of White Oleander on her talk show, and it thought it was the most inane pretentious drivel I'd ever heard. Subsequent encounters with books on the list haven't done anything to change my opinion.

When I'm done with my current books, I'm planning to read The Road, which I had been looking forward to, until I found out it was featured. I'm hanging on to the thought that it's considered a modern classic and therefore should still be good. *fingers and toes crossed*

[Sammy]

Also, I almost forgot, but thank you for the "Bobiverse" rec! they were awesome!

[Jenny]

You are welcome. I love those books.
I keep meaning to read the Road as well. If you get to it, let me know if it is good please.

[Chava]

Could we play a group monopoly game with book?

Platform 9 3/4and Diagon Alley instead of Reading Railroad and Park Place?

It would be fun choosing the properties.

[Jessi]

Ooo Harry Potter themed monopoly! I’d be down for that!

[Alysa]

I think my daughter's friend has a Harry Potter edition of Monopoly... Must investigate...
*is still sad about missing the HP edition of Tower*

[Chava]

Love that!!!!
Mods, are you up for it?

[Chava]

HP TT was freaking amazing!! I played quidditch!!

[Lexi]

I'm still up for more quidditch

[Jessi]

@Alysa, I missed it too. I think I joined this group a few weeks after they had started and I was super sad. I did follow the quidditch games because that was just fun to watch!
