Hmm

".
a military operation in which enemy forces surround a town or building, cutting off essential supplies, with the aim of compelling those inside to surrender."

So i would say no to mine then E, although later on the army drops a bomb on the city to kill the infected

Psy-Changeling won't work. The changelings can always get in and out, no matter how many individual attacks there have been or are. I've read the first 8 books only so far but I don't think that'll drastically change in book 9 (not with the way the villains have been operating so far), so that isn't exactly a siege since they aren't hindered in their normal activities, they aren't being cut off from anything either.

V, we'll use yours for many people living in the same house then, since that isn't something to appear in all that many books either.

It's an annoying task the siege one but it also makes things kind of interesting hehe.

[Eldarwen]

Hey V, can you just check the page numbers for Red Hill, please? Completion post and shelved edition are different.

Thanks!

Oh, and while you're at it. Atticus has a very odd page number for the kindle edition, which is like 300 pages less than what the paperback is or what Amazon says. Could you please let us know what the actual number of your kindle edition is please? Then LaurLa can check this out and fix since she's a librarian :-)

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

We still have a few unfinished tasks anyway so there's still time to stumble on a book with a siege.

[Eldarwen]

We have until the end of the month so we're definitely good! :-)

[Eldarwen]

And we're actually already half-way through the initial tasks we chose and have some extra books slotted in already, too.

Absolutely fantastic going, guys!! :-))

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

For the Title relay, maybe somebody hasn't read Never, Never yet and is interested HAHAHA. Man, Wobble. *shakes head*

Using the app so *imagine i posted a funny gif*

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I wonder if we'll have Wheelathon this year?

[Eldarwen]

Hahaha, nah, sorry, I've read all three Never Never books for Wobble and not really up for rereading. They weren't that good :-p

[Eldarwen]

Kathleen wrote: "I wonder if we'll have Wheelathon this year?"

Maybe? Haven't participated in that one for years.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I never, never (pun intended) read NA, and then Wobble happened. I suddenly found myself reading NA 😂

[Eldarwen]

Hehe, I like NA. Less whiny and ridiculous than YA ;-)

(Usually...)

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I usually go for paranormal or romcoms (chicklit?) when I want to read romance.

I really don't have any specific reason why I don't read NA haha. I don't go actively looking for one but am sure there must be good ones out there (unlike Never Never lol). But I had fun reading it with the time, you know suffering together and talking about it. And that ending!

[Eldarwen]

Seriously though, do you want to go for the title relay? Or the YA square?

If so.. I'll see what I can scrounge up to help with those.

[Eldarwen]

Bah, Never Never is YA, not NA. You could consider Hidden Legacy NA, for instance, and those were pretty awesome books!

But yes, that ending!! Ridiculous, though kind of funny haha.

Paranormal and urban fantasy are usually my go-to when I want romance. Nalini Singh <3 - do you read Guild Hunter as well? Can't remember?

[❀Tea❀]

I haven't read Never Never. :) And I have a feeling I'm never ever going to read Never Never *snickers*

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I've always considered Ilona Andrews books as paranormal haha. But I love Hidden Legacy. I want everybody to have their own series!

YA square? Lol. I didn't pay attention to the YA. I thought it was just a book square. Hm, I think the YA square is easier than the title relay. We can work on the title relay first.

I haven't read the Guild Hunter series yet. Is it good?

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Uhm Tea? there's a chance someone will read Never, Never for Quidditch and if you're Beater... *shrugs* hahaha

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Almost done with Kiss of Snow. Lots of task it can work for but I think it's better if we use it for #7~3.4: book where someone has a baby

Sascha gives birth. Finally lol

[Eldarwen]

Never Never are at least incredibly fast books - coming from Miss Slow here :-p So you shouldn't have any trouble with them if they pop up for Quidditch. And they aren't all that bad, just not terrific hehe. Better than the free deals on the weirdo sex crap that's been read for previous matches.

[❀Tea❀]

Don't give them ideas! :P

[Eldarwen]

Aaaah, cool!! I was expecting that to happen in book 9 haha. Definitely a good task to have out of the way, yes.

[Eldarwen]

Kathleen wrote: "I haven't read the Guild Hunter series yet. Is it good?"


Yes!! Read it!!
Ignore the clichés, because there's quite a few of them. Then again, she uses some in Psy-Changeling as well.
The world setting is quite interesting, a little different and I love the characters. Illium, Venom, Naasir, etc etc :-)

[❀Tea❀]

Illium... *sigh*

I think Venom's was last one I've read. Sometimes I even wish she'd lay of 'romance' part. I just want to know what's happening in the world...

[Eldarwen]

Agreed!! I love the world and the whole plot surrounding the various romances. Venom's was the last book currently out. New one will be out in autumn and the cover is absolutely gorgeous!!

[Eldarwen]

Just look at it....



*sigh*

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Same feeling I get with PsyChangeling. The romance is nice but I'm more invested in the overall story now. Okay, so maybe not really because I'm looking forward to Kaleb's story. And Vasic's.

I'll finish PsyChangeling first then start Guild Hunters. Does Guild Hunters feature a different couple each book too?

[❀Tea❀]

Mostly, yes. I think there is a book or two where it goes back to original couple.


You sure you gonna be done with PsyChangeling? There is Trinity spin off now :)

[Eldarwen]

I'l..."

Mmhh, yes, I'm looking forward to Kaleb's story as well. He is a fascinating character. And the overall plot is great. I enjoy that a lot.

Yes, Guild Hunter features a different couple for most books as well, not all of them. And all the various characters you meet over the course of the series pop back in regularly as they're all integral to the overall plot.

[Annalisa]

I finished Grey Sister which works for sword on the cover. I was looking through the other tasks and there are quite a few that are not in our original 36 that it fits. Do you want me to post those as well or just for the sword on the cover?

[Eldarwen]

If it's something more unusual or rare, yes please add them to the completion post. Otherwise, go with the sword / deadly weapon as we have a few of those. :-)

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I will finish the original PsyChangeling first then see what I'll feel about reading the spin off. But I'll definitely read Guild Hunters after I finish the original PsyChangeling.

Let's see who this Illium is ;)

Illium is fab :-D

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I have to finish PsyChangeling first!!! I must resist.

[Eldarwen]

Kathleen wrote: "I have to finish PsyChangeling first!!! I must resist."

*snicker*

I parallel read for a while as well ;-) But I started with Guild Hunter before finally moving on to Psy-Changeling. But all this talk really makes me want to pick up Play of Passion! Must finish my current read first haha.

[❀Tea❀]

Come on! You really want to read about Bluebell! Admit it! :)

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

For the past few books ive really just been reading more because of the story arc and to get to Kaleb's story. The romance was just a side plot for me hahaha.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Finishing up current read then am off to bed. Almost midnight in my side of the world. Enjoy the rest of your day!

[Annalisa]

I put some of the answers for how the book fits in spoilers because I didn't want to ruin Grey Sister for anyone thinking they might read it.

[Eldarwen]

Sleep well!
Dream of Bluebell ;-)

That is an impressive set of tasks it works for!!
Spoilers are much appreciated, thank you :-)

[Annalisa]

I was amazed by how many it fit as well. I don't know what to read next. I can read Obsidio and hope it fits siege, but it may not.

I've read two books with a siege recently, but of course finished before TWT started. A Feast for Crows and The Fate of the Tearling.

[Eldarwen]

I'm having the opposite problem at the moment. I want to read all the books at the same time. ;-)

[❀Tea❀]

So read a chapter of one book, then chapter of another, then chapter of next one, and so on :P

[Eldarwen]

And then I'll never finish anything haha.

I'll see how far I'll get with Ride the Storm today and then maybe I'll pick up my Psy-Changeling tomorrow after all ;-)

[Eldarwen]

Annalisa,

the number of pages you indicate in your completion post is different from the one of the edition you shelved. Can you check please and let me know which number is correct?

Thanks!

[Annalisa]

I guess go with what the book I shelved says. It is the same book as the one I read. Maybe there were some unnumbered pages at the beginning. I did what I always do when there is a page disagreement and opened to the last page of the book.

[Eldarwen]

Ok, thanks.

[Sunshine]

I can take all of the task TW picks for:

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Task 4 - Department of Mysteries
Read a book MPG Mystery The Devil I Know
Read a book where someone dies The Heart's Invisible Furies
Read a book with a large battle Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption
Read a book where there is a "rescue" To Kill a Mockingbird

Edit
Never mind...

I just went to the main page and saw all of these task were taken, but noting was listed on the spreadsheet.

Again... for TW if someone is assigned or taking a task, where should I look so I don't waste my time. Thanks
