and
Ship of Magic
for labor 1: Lure the Troll with Fish - Read a book that's main setting is on the water
I'm still reading and listening to my two books.Had a busy weekend, but I should have at least one finished until Friday.
Inke, let me know what do you think of Ship of Magic, I heard good things about it. I hope you like it.
Yikes, I finished my book but didn't realize someone had already claimed that labor. Anyways, I'm going to read Last Sacrifice which would work for labor 10 for either main character is a vampire or paranormal romance. If I have time next I will read another in a series I was working on before that is also both vampire and paranormal.

finished
for 3/4 of cover yellowstarted
for a book that takes place on the water (cruise ship)
In a bit of a slump on reading with The Name of the Rose. Thinking of taking a short break. Would you think either Labyrinth Lost or Wildwood Dancing has a gold object on the cover? Also, Imprudence has a character who can be a vampire or werewolf as she steals powers but isn't really either so I didn't think it would work?

Sorry, I'd say no to all of those.

Fine, put me down for book on cover (labor 5) with 
Libriomancer. Might also work for the gold sword hilt, but I leave someone who is a better judge of color than me to decide that.
I can do musical instrument on the coverWith this book

Violin on the cover
Lori, have you already heard from Eli?
I see that Imke and Chava are both reading a book for labor 1 - Lure the Troll with Fish - Read a book that's main setting is on the waterI have added the names of what has been claimed so far in our spreadsheet. So if you are chosing a book for 1 of the challenges, I suggest you look at the spreadsheet to check was is already claimed. For now I have put down jen for vampire.

Sadly, no. I don't think she's been on GR since she last posted in our group.

We're going to use Emelie's book for musical instrument on cover. So you can still read a paranormal romance book.

Lori, did you already start reading your book for "Find Mr. Darcy - Read a book with a title (Mr., Ms, Lord, etc.) in the title"? I found a book that works for that challenge that I'd like to read (The Lost Duke of Wyndham).

I have a book that works for medal/trophy. So that leaves party decorations - balloons, ribbons, confetti, flower decorations, party masks, etc. Could be for any type of party - birthday, Christmas, wedding, christening, Halloween, etc.
Anyone looking for another task to read for should check out the bonus tasks as well.

Finished Cold Grave for labor 1 - task Lure the Troll with Fish - Read a book that's main setting is on the water
How far is everyone with reading for these challenges?I think we won't get more bonus rounds until everything for this is finished. Is that correct? Do you think we should wait for everyone who has claimed a book to finish it, or should the persons who cant read for a challenge because non is open read for a claimed challenges and then we use the book that is finished first (of course we then have to be careful that everyone has read 2 books for the main challenge)?
I've used Lexi's The Name of the Rose for murder happens to get us moving again.
If anyone has a book with a vampire as the MC feel free to read it to get the final task completed so we can get the bonus points.
