[Annalisa]

There were multiple tasks that my book fit so it got placed on a more difficult one to fill. There are also 2 places that require a sword on the cover.

she gave it to you in the SS which is why i wanted to make sure there wasn't confusion.

ETA: or not.... we'll let her decide what's what and where she wants to use the books.

[Eldarwen]

There are two tasks with sword on the cover.

Kavitha read for one of them. LaurLa, I kept you on the second one because you mentioned that you wanted to read a KD book for it. If however you'd like to use that for the couple task (very fitting!!), I'm sure another sword will pop up soon - Kavitha might actually be reading the next KD book.

Yes, Annalisa's sword book was indeed used for a different, more difficult to fill task. (Too good to pass up some of these opportunities when books fit multiple tasks ;-))

[Eldarwen]

LaurLa wrote: "Also, I think I can claim these tasks..."

Nice list!

All yours :-)

[Kavitha]

E, do you want to use Unwind for the maze? I finished it 3 hours ago.

[Natasha]

Finally finished Rome: A History in Seven Sackings for HP #7 1.1 Read a book with 'Seven" in the title.

I'm currently reading , which would work with HP #1 1.4 Read a book with a only 5 word title and HP #5 1.3 Read a book a bird on the cover, 2.2 Read a book MPG Crime, 4.1 Read a book MPG Mystery, 4.2 Read a book where someone dies.

Books need to be finished after the move was announced.
Besides, we kind of need the U... ;-))

I actually have a book for that too! Can't believe I missed it earlier.
Pistols For Two


ETA: oops, meant to say, does that help you decide what to use Natasha's book for ;-) ?

MPG Crime task it is! All the others are spoken for.

It's all coming along quite nicely!

[Eldarwen]

And while we're at it, I'm currently reading a book that fits for the Time Travel task in HP#3.

Oh gosh... now I've definitely committed to it for the month. No getting out of it now!

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

E, if someone has read a book that fits 5-word title, you can go ahead and fill it up. Astonishing Color fits several other tasks anyway :)

Also, can I please claim book with a dragon?

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Cathy, glad you're enjoying the Seven Realms! Are you considering reading the spinoff?

[Cathy M.]

I'm loving it but some parts have been annoying the crap out of me! Like when Reid & Elena don't believe Han really saved Raisa, and pretty much any scene with the Bayars. They need to die...

I read the summary of the 1st one & I'm really scared to read the spinoff! I only have 1 more book to go & know it will end with a HEA, but knowing how much I'm loving this world, may have to. Have you read it yet?

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I swore off the spin off!!!! I can't give you the reason withot giving you spoilers but I made myself contented with The Crimson Crown so I'm good now.

Have you read Megan Whalen Turner?

[Cathy M.]

I completely understand! Just from the small bit I read in the blurb, doesn't sound like the HEA lasts all that long. Well 20 years but still. Almost like Iron Gold which I've been hesitant to read.

Doesn't look like I've read anything by her. Good? Similar?

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

You NEED to read her series. First book is The Thief. The series is just so good. One of my favorite series!

Have you read the Lumatere Chronicles by Melina Marchetta?

[Cathy M.]

Havent read that either, but I didn't care too much about On the Jellicoe Road so didnt look at any of her other reads. Also dont think I've read too many YA series in the last couple years so I've probably missed out on a lot! Just now reading Throne of Glass.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Her Lumatere Chronicles is well plotted and well written. The first book is the good but it is the weakest in the series. I recommend The Thief first then Lumatere Chronicles. They're some of the YA fantasy books that I think deserves more of the hype that some YA books are getting. ;)

[Cathy M.]

Added them both, thanks for the recommendations :) Will check it out after Throne of Glass!

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Oh you know, my pleasure. I love recommending these series! :)

[Eldarwen]

Cathy M. wrote: "Added them both, thanks for the recommendations :) Will check it out after Throne of Glass!"

I need to read book #6! Especially since #7 is coming out in September!!

Are you enjoying it so far?

Sure thing!

No matter which one?
For Annalisa and Em, it doesn't really matter because their books fit for all of those tasks.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Lol I guess it doesn't matter too. I just wanted to claim any dragon task before they run out!

[Eldarwen]

Hehe, understandable! :-)

[Sanah]

I can take HP #4 (4.4) A book with water on the cover. I read The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and it has two people underwater

I started a book with the word TIME in the title so I can do that one.

I did like the 1st one so am now reading The Assassin's Blade - on the 4th story now & am liking these novellas! I'll start Crown of Midnight to use for the Box after. Also finally started because I know the last one is coming out soon :)

In case you need, for the Box:

Book 1: Crown of Midnight
Book 2: Cross My Heart
Book 3: Kathleen's book Thick as Thieves
Book 4: Kathleen's book These Shallow Graves (or other T-S book)

[Eldarwen]

I'm stupidly happy over the fact that we've got that box covered hehe.

Sometimes I don't need much ;-)

[Eldarwen]

Kavitha,

unfortunately we cannot use UnStrung as books need to be over 100 pages to count for this challenge.

Can you please remove it from your TT shelf?

Thanks!

[Eldarwen]

Sanah,

Can you please put The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer on your TT shelf?

Thanks!

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Em, what did you think of What I Talk About When I talk About Running?

I love that book.

[Em]

Kathleen wrote: "Em, what did you think of What I Talk About When I talk About Running?

Kathleen, i love it! he set the narrative into a very steady running pace and it's a different kind of soothing. makes me wonder if i should see if it has an audio version or not. i never venture into audiobooks but i think i won't mind trying for this one :)

also i didn't expect the book to be so motivational for me, hah.

Hm, I haven't thought of trying the audiobook but now that you've mentioned it might as well check it out. I wonder how it would feel listening to it while jogging/running?

I loved the pacing of the book, it follows how one's thoughts stray from one life concern to another. And yes, I found it highly motivational!!!

i wonder about that as well! i was a bit jittery during my morning commute because i kept feeling like taking off into a run while i read this hahaha

i love how it's motivational in a way that isn't boisterous and judging. Murakami only stated that this is how he felt about running and life in general, and i found myself not only agreeing, but also encouraged to try expanding myself, without him even using any encouragement words whatsoever. it's certainly not something i expect from a memoir (though i haven't read all that many yet)

[Annalisa]

For the two books with similar covers can it be different covers or do they nee to be the same image with slight modifications like for Uno?

[Eldarwen]

Annalisa wrote: "For the two books with similar covers can it be different covers or do they nee to be the same image with slight modifications like for Uno?"

Either/or. Both of those options would work.

[Kavitha]

so two kate daniels will work?

[Eldarwen]

Kavitha wrote: "so two kate daniels will work?"

They aren't similar enough. I mean, they bring across a similar idea, namely woman with a sword and a lion but the positions are always different.

Let me think about an example.

[Natasha]

This list comes to mind for similar covers:

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/5...

[Eldarwen]

Let me amend that statement.

KD #4 and #5 could potentially work for similar covers because everything is similarly positioned on those two:



This list could be some inspiration for extremely similar covers, if not to say the same ones.

A series (at least the first three books) would be: Silver Hollows

Sanah

Thanks for adding it but the read date has now disappeared. Could you add that please? :-)

[Sanah]

Done!

[❀Tea❀]

I need to read for another challenge
and then I also have this one

(I probably wouldn't even notice if books weren't next to each other on my reader when sorted alphabetically)

Think those would work? *grins*

[Eldarwen]

Those would definitely work, yes!
