What are they wanting for "Read a book with picture on the cover"

They are cozy mysteries set in Virginia. The MC has a cat named Mrs. Murphy and a dog named Tucker. When things happen in the town, the cat and dog pretty much figure out the clues and try to lead their owner to the answer of the mystery. The animals "talk" to each other quite a bit. I think they are kind of fun... not the best cozies, but not bad either.

they are wanting a book with a framed picture on the cover or maybe a photograph it has to be obvious though. I thought i had something on read shelf still looking

OR i have this and haven't read it yet i can probably get to it before the end of the month

I ended up with a stack of them from a library book sale. Of course, I don't have all of them and end up skipping around in the series.

[Cat]

we're into the last 10 & bit days!

Can I get a check in that everyone's still here & reading?!

Melinda, how's your son? on the mend, I hope

[Emelie]

Here and reading, capt'n!

[Elena]

Me too!

[Marie (UK)]

i am here and reading i might be able to do picture on cover but it is number 3 in a series and i would have to read number 2 first

[Katie]

I'm here! Caught up from Quidditch, enjoying this last bit of downtime before the school year starts and ready to read. I'm going to check out the team (unofficial) sheet and see what I can help with. :)

[Cat]

Katie: Vow in title! Lost in title! Prophecy in series/title!
snake on cover! (two!)

[Sarah]

I'm here, still reading. I seem to keep getting derailed by the maze...

Just finished the cauldron book, will post in a bit. I did get the hold in from the library for The Lost Symbol, so I will read that in a few books time. But definitely before the end.

[Cat]

I'm very happy for you to play in the maze :)

hurrah for cauldron!
hurrah for lost!

[Katie]

I'll claim a couple now.

Vow: A Biker's Vow - 129 pages
Lost: Lost and Found Sisters - 400 pages

That's it for now. I'll see what's left after I finish these up. :)

[Sarah]

I don't mind if Katie reads for Lost. She'll be done before I will, and I was reading it anyway. It'll fit for something, or characters.

[Katie]

Oh! Sorry Sarah! I didn't read the messages past Cat's list of tasks. I can just take that one off my list and look for a snake. :P

[Sarah]

Nah, it's ok. Unless you have any snakes, which I am lacking.

Lol, the weird sentences that come out in a challenge...

[Katie]

Lol! I do not have any snakes, but I'll look for something. One of them is 'or in title' so I might have more luck with that one.

[Cat]

I just turned in two more sets of tasks :)
And Fleur spell out :)

[Tricia]

I found a book with a snake on the cover that I can start reading!

[Amy the book-bat]

I'm still reading... just finished a 520 pager, hope it fits something... needed to get it back to the library.

[Cat]

Great! That's perfect :)

[Melindam]

Dear All,

I am back! :)

my son is a lot better and so am I (I also caught the virus off him, though it wasn't quite that bad as for him).

I managed to read 2 books for

- someone goes on trial
- MPG crime

I will put the books on my TT shelf and will report them in the thread shortly.

[Melindam]

Currently I am reading which will work for HP&DH 4.4 - "Mirror in the title"

[Melindam]

I can also read for HP-PoA, 5.3 "Death in the title".

[Katie]

Finished "Vow" in title...working on "Lost". I'll report my outstanding books later today.

[Marie (UK)]

I am currently reading Mercer Street so that i can then read Indiana Belle for picture on cover after that i will take aloof see what i can do.

What are thoughts on the chain of books I could probably read something to fit that

[Cat]

I've not thought about the chain nor the YA square yet.

We need four people to read for the chain, but there's no restriction on the square, except for the YA MPG requirement.

Does anyone want to volunteer to work on the relay? We need to read books where the last word of the first title is the first of the second title (and articles DO count). When we've got our four volunteers we can start shuffling books! :)

[Katie]

I can help with either/both of those.

[Elena]

I'm up for it!

[Cat]

Excellent!

FYI, books that have already been read but not yet used are:

TITLE CHAIN
Marie: Ghost Boy / Your Closest Friend / The Liar in the Library (the latter two most likely to be first position books, as not many titles will end with Your or The)

Cat: All Systems Red.
I'm also in the middle of Artificial Condition

YA SQUARE
Amy: Game (which I could see being useful on the bottom of the square, with a book title ending in G and one ending in E)

btw, for the square, the title lengths don't have to be the same. It's more a YA Quadrilateral! ;-P


edit: oops, wrong person against Game!

[Melindam]

Would My Lady Jane fit into the YA square?

[Cat]

We can certainly see if we can work it in!

If we used Game on the bottom, My Lady Jane would be the RHS of the square, meaning the top of the square would have to end in M. Which isn't out of the realms of doability :)

[Cat]

I read My Lady Jane for quidditch - it was fun! :)

[Elena]

I can read Delirium and we'll just need a D----G title for the LHS :)

[Cat]

this'd fit : Daughter of the Pirate King

got some good ratings

[Elena]

Found these also: Dreamland Burning and Darius & Twig

For relay:
Death of a Ghost -> Ghost Boy
Ghost Boy -> Boy Nobody
All Systems Red -> Red, White, and Blood/ Red Moon Rising/ Red Mandarin Dress

[Amy the book-bat]

working on a cat on the cover for today. will possibly be able to do the other cat book tomorrow after I get home from taking my son to his appointment

[Katie]

Finished "Lost" in title.

I have Nobody Looks Good in Leather Pants (or bowties) to tack on the first relay. We could always put an "In Death" book at the front. If somebody here is into those...

[Cat]

Elena can’t read both Death of ghost & boy nobody though. :(

I don’t mind doing an In Death book

[Cat]

Or I can find a book that ends in ghost

Which would give:

Cat - Michelangelo’s Ghost. (Death of a Ghost not on uk ku :( )
Marie - Ghost Boy
Elena - Boy Nobody
Katie - Nobody Looks Good etc etc

[Elena]

Death of a Ghost is on Kindle Unlimited, we just need a volunteer :)

[Katie]

Looks like it should work. Should I start on that, then?

[Cat]

Let’s do it!

[Marie (UK)]

sounds good - how is SRC going Cat next seasons task are less list orientated at least

[Amy the book-bat]

Just finished a cat on cover and it looks like CoS set 3 is complete :-)

[Melindam]

I will quickly finish for HP-PoA, 5.3 "Death in the title" today and then I'll start on My Lady Jane

[Cat]

I'm still making some progress, but I don't think I'll finish.
21 BB tickets makes me hopeful for a task anyway though!

I've not looked at the new season yet - way too much to think about with TT and finishing off the Summer SRC ;-/

I've just started Song of Achilles, and am loving it!

I am being strict with myself next season ONLY books i have or can get from library / KU I need to get my TBR down. That is except for seasonal read I bought Zorro for 1p plus postage

[Eldarwen]

Zorro <3

Though I've never actually read that book. I really should!

That is a really good plan though to only read books readily available to you in order to get your TBR down. It's something I've been attempting this year as well. I'm semi-successful haha.
