I think so too so let's use it for TWT. I'm three chapters away from done in case current Maze requirement changes tonight ;)

I Hunt Killers is twisted. lol

Reading a few more pages then am off to bed.

[Eldarwen]

Sounds like a plan, Kathleen!

Lol yes, I Hunt Killers is definitely a little twisted, but quite cool that way.

It's certainly not a fast book but at the same time, it isn't exactly slow either. It's... sort of in between?
I actually like that Toby is a bit of an oddball with some serious issues. It makes a difference to all those kick-ass heroines out there who apparently all know what they want and only have a so-called attitude problem (that disappears a few chapters in) instead of a real one.

[❀Tea❀]

I'd like to try and get past Fluffy :)

I have 'musical instrument on the cover' - task 1.2.1
and 'song in the title' - task 1.2.4

both can work for 'music mpg' - task 1.2.2

(or I can read something else for it, but don't put me down for it until I'm done with these. Quidditch is approaching *bites her nails*)

I do think it gets better the further in the book you get. Overall I liked the book but it felt like it was missing that something to make it more memorable, more likable. Toby is more of a loner & doesn't have that core support network that most other UF heroines have, & it was a little tiring that she was so closed off from everyone (the love/hate relationships).

I am currently reading the 2nd one - there are 12 in this series so I'm hopeful it will get better! But definitely not like her Wayward Children series.

You are so right, there are too many of those types of heroines! Toby IS different, I'll give her that. Thinking back, she reminds me a little of Kate Daniels in the very beginning because Kate didn't want to get close to anyone either. With that in mind, gotta keep positive that it will soon turn to greatness :)

Hmmm, I think the instrument on cover would be harder to find than song in title. So I'll already put you down for that one hehe.

Quidditch is still a few days away, more than enough time for you to finish this one - or both hehe ;-)

[❀Tea❀]

You can put me on both. Wait was for third one (tagged as music). ;)

Or if you want to use one of this two for music task, that's fine with me.


Edit: current instrument one doesn't have music tag, but I can switch book. There are lots of instruments on my reader :)

It's not that I don't trust you, but I did not see Troll in the text when I was reading. I'm hoping you have a way of searching the text to find it because I just didn't see it. I've been looking for trolls too.

It was in the 1st chpt - when she's ringing up Mitch - 6% - "...he could give your average Bridge Troll a complex."

Thank you, I found it now on page 18 in my book. I guess it was such a small thing I missed it.

Yes, very small! Luckily I can search on my handy Kindle :)

As long as one of them has a music tag, it's all good! :-)

So instrument on cover and MPG music are your two tasks. Then you can still always do the song afterwards?

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

E, I used Ruin and Rising for the multiple people die task. I'm not sure how fast I can read I Hunt Killers. I tried reading it in one sitting bit I just can't. It's messing me up lol. I like it though (is that even morally right???) but it's just not the kind I can read in one sitting.

And then if no one's reading for #7~5.2 MPG War, I'll read for it.

[Eldarwen]

Haha, that book screws with your head a little, yes. But it makes it interesting.

[LaurLa]

I have books that will coover these:


HP 3 1.2 Read a book with "Night" in the title OR
HP 3 1.4 Read a book with the main character's initials are S.S.



If we all agree this would be considered woods, then I can also cover
HP 3 5.2 Read a book with woods on the cover


I can also do this one but don't want to hog tasks, so let me know?
HP 7 5.2 Read a book with a sword on the cover

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I say go for it LaurLa!!

[Eldarwen]

Haha, now which task is harder to fill - Night or character initials?

Looks like a wood to me!

And totally go for all of them if you want to! :-)

[Eldarwen]

Also, if someone wants to read a book starting with S, please go for it!

We're probably going to be done with the initial 36 tasks before I get to that one (since I'm reading another book before it), so someone else might as well snatch that one up.

[Natasha]

Eldarwen, I added a completion post Soon: An Overdue History of Procrastination, from Leonardo and Darwin to You and Me. I must have just forgotten to post a completion post for the book.

With everything that's going on in this challenge, it's quick to happen!
Thanks for adding it :-)

i can help with that! i'm currently reading Stargirl, which i intended to submit for our maze, before i noticed that it needs an odd-number of pages book 😅

...unless the task has been claimed already?

[Annalisa]

I'm reading Grey Sister now and I see a place it will fit (sword on the cover 7.5.2) and someplace it is possible it might fit (characters are under siege 7.4.3). I won't know about the siege until further into the story. It might end of being a stretch.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I think LaurLa is reading for the sword cover. I hope it works for siege! That task sounds hard to accomplish.

I read it not long ago & sorry to say I don't think it would work for under siege.

[Cathy M.]

Kathleen wrote: "I bought the series during a warehouse sale and marathon read it in 2 days ;) Yes, crossig my fingers you enjoy it as much as I did!"

Almost done with it & so far am loving it! (view spoiler)[Figured that Han was a wizard because of the cuffs but thought it was going to come out that he was Raisa's brother or something like that. But if u think about it, they are related generations down the line... (hide spoiler)]

Have a couple I need to read now but am continuing on with this series for sure!

[Cathy M.]

If anyone still has Iron and Magic to read, I think that would work for under siege.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

@Cathy, thrilled to know you liked it!

Yep, LaurLa is tentatively reading for that one but she also has two others she's reading, so I'm sure she won't mind if Grey Sister is used for the "sword on cover" task.

Is the book as good as the first one??

If someone gets to sword first, fine by me!

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Does this work for purple cover?

[Eldarwen]

Kathleen wrote: "Does this work for purple cover?

"

I'm on the fence about that one. There is a lot of black happening in the middle.

I'd go for no, sorry.

[Stacie]

Is wishlist acceptable for this: 5.3 Read a book tagged at least 50 times as “wish”

Because I just finished and it's tagged 54 times as wishlist

I know it's not one of our first 36 but if we think it works, I can put that in my completion post with the characters in case we get there.

[Annalisa]

So far yes, Grey Sister is as good as the first book. I really like the world and characters.

Wishlist is acceptable, yes!

[Eldarwen]

Clarification/Update for TWT tasks:

There has been a bit of confusion but it has been agreed that while our first 9 tasks are the one we should focus on first, we can read for other tasks as well.

We will only receive points once the first 9 tasks are completed, but we can start reading for others, too.

[Stacie]

I'll post it later for that task then!

[Annalisa]

Good to know. That opens up a lot of possibilities for books. I guess we still need to focus on the first 36 books, but at least I don't have to wonder if what I'm reading will work or if it will conflict with what someone else already read.

[Annalisa]

I'm going to the library after work today. If there is a specific task that isn't covered I can look for a book to cover it. I'd try and get a book for the maze but I think that would be difficult since we have no idea what is coming next. I guess I should also be on the lookout for books with U. Is there a second letter I should be on the lookout for as well?

[Eldarwen]

There's always characters as well if books don't work for tasks, so we can use practically everything one way or another :-)

Annalisa wrote: "I'm going to the library after work today. If there is a specific task that isn't covered I can look for a book to cover it. I'd try and get a book for the maze but I think that would be difficult ..."

Mostly the U, because we need quite a few of those and haven't gotten a lot of them yet.

Other than that... characters under siege hehe. That's the one we definitely still need.
Or if you'd like to look for a bus on the cover? Or a book where a long-lost sibling is found?

Those are the three that haven't really been touched yet.

[Annalisa]

For under siege would this book work? The Ones Who Got Away by Roni Loren

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

I'm not sure if something that happened in the past will work.

[Annalisa]

I looked up the definition of siege and my book won't work. Time being cut off from outside world is important. I'll see what I can find at the library.

[Annalisa]

I just remembered I have this book which should work for under siege. Obsidio by Amie Kaufman

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

The entire planet is cut off from the rest of the universe and communication isn't getting out. I think this should work. Thoughts?

[Sunshine]

I think this will work for: Read a Book with a song in the title

The High King's Golden Tongue
Song: Golden toung

It needs to be the word "song", unfortunately.

Though good try!! :-) I like your way of thinking hehe.

I'm on the fence.

For me, a siege has always been something that occurs during a battle where one camp is under siege by another one, without being able to get out and rations slowly dwindling etc etc.
Think Red Rising.

[Annalisa]

Not having read the book yet I'm not sure how this one will go. From past books in the series i know the planet was attacked and cut off because of the attack. As for supplies dwindling I don't know what they lack on the planet. I do know the planet is/will be under attack.
