Maaaaybe, K, maybe! I'll be able to tell more tomorrow.

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I think we have a book for Markhor also... as the name is derived from "snake" and "eater" and we have a book with a snake on the cover...

Dishonorable Intentions (Stone Barrington #38) by Stuart Woods

----------------
Wiki: The colloquial name is thought by some to be derived from the Persian word mar, meaning snake, and khor, meaning "eater", which is sometimes interpreted to either represent the species' ability to kill snakes, or as a reference to its corkscrewing horns, which are somewhat reminiscent of coiling snakes

Perfect !

Wouldn't have thought that Markhors would somehow link to snakes - the animals are so very different - but hey it works!

I have a "dragon" book I could read tomorrow - fairly short though.

Lol!

Snowtulip | 4679 comments I'm thinking one of my banked books could work for the bottles one...when I see that picture I think of chemical beakers...in The Fire Between High & Lo (Elements, #2) by Brittainy C. Cherry , one of the characters is fighting cancer with chemotherapy...thus chemicals in his body...what do you think?


message 4870: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I think that sounds like it fits!

We have been lucky with our banked books this card. I think this makes the 11th book we could use.

You don't happen to have a photographer in one of your banked books by chance? :)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments I just finished Bluegrass State of Mind (Bluegrass Series, #1) by Kathleen Brooks (thanks Karen!) and it has scenes with photographers (when she comes out of a court case and after winning the Kentucky Derby)...

And a photograph is sent as a chilling reminder...


message 4872: by Snowtulip (last edited Sep 01, 2016 06:14PM) (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Sooo....all matter is made up of atoms...so any of our banked books are about atoms (in a philosophical and scientific sense)...???

Take our banked book with the most pages?

I am here! Had too much to do after work, trying to read through all this mess!

LaurLa | 2387 comments You guys are killing me. There's not going to be anything left to read:-(


message 4875: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks I actually finished two books today that I hadnt loged yet, so let me see what is still open to see if they work anywhere.


message 4876: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments If the captains accept the 3 banked books (atoms, bottles, photograph)...it only leaves 3 open spots!

I might be sitting out this round ;)

If you have a Z book, feel free to take my spot. I still have a book to finish before I can start it.

We have been killing it with banked books - woo hoo!!! LOL!

Same here - I'm working on a "BLOOD" book so if you want the "BORN" book, have at it! I snagged that one first and then forgot what I took and started the other one by mistake... :(

ST - I'm totally there with you on the photograph and the bottles! Atoms.... Hmmm.....

Actually - your bottles scenario sounds like it's more supportive of chemistry... atoms... lol!

We found one of your books and 2 of LaurLa's books that were in the bank that we've used on this grid if that helps?! :)


message 4880: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Oh, if you do that...maybe Abbie's Sherlock Holmes book could be used for bottles...isn't he always tinkering with chemistry

Abbie, does he do any tinkering in that book?

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Or we could use Tamika's Empty Net...because in order to play hockey you need ice...which is taking water from a liquid to solid state...atoms...


message 4882: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Thinking I might have had too much caffeine tonight ;)


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments HAHA, any means necessary ST!!!

Thanks Karen, but I actually just found a book with Magic in it...so I'm going to take the magic spot.

LaurLa | 2387 comments I can read His Majesty, the Prince of Toads for the 'photography' spot since it's frogs/toads in the picture and well, the title. And my kindle edition even has a picture of a toad on it.
His Majesty, the Prince of Toads by Delle Jacobs


message 4887: by Karen ♐ (new)

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments I can take Flame unless someone else wants it.


message 4888: by LaurLa (new)

LaurLa | 2387 comments If we still need a book for the atom, in my banked book Isle of Lies, the h is actually somewhat of a scientest... at least as far as one could be in the early 1500s. But she actually studied and did experiments to learn how things work. She even studied 'alchemy.' I guess this could work for the bottles too since they sort of look like beakers.

Was just offering it up as a more direct interpretation in case we needed it.

Scientist/Alechemist for atom is much better than a chemistry interpretation, in my opinion.

Nice work on the banked books, ladies! That clears out a lot of them :-)


message 4897: by VNerdbooks (new)
