Mythology and Fairytales will this be accepted for

3. Read a book where a character is a god / with MPG or top shelf "Mythology"??????

[Melindam]

No, sorry. It has to be Mythology only :(

[Laura..devouring books like crumpets]

No worries i think it has a witch in it so should work for the other

[Melindam]

Great! :)

Right edition (audiobook) is on shelf and on tracking sheet.

It works for WD4 - Green 7.

[Melindam]

Just realised that can be used for gun on cover, so if someone has a book with white, men's clothing on the cover, it can be switched.

[Melindam]

Found a short listen for the Eclipse task

Cherry slice on my UNO shelf

[Alma]

It fits n. 16- the pink cover task

[Alma]

I just saw Lorna is reading Where the crawdads sing, I have read it, in case it can be used for the reverse or any other card

[Melindam]

Lovely!! :)

This was a disappointingly terrible listening experience, though at least short!

Tyler Nordgren, astronomer, the author of the book, is the narrator as well.
He just droned on and on with terrible monotony, draining the subject dry mercilessly. I had to make an effort to stay awake and no matter how hard I tried to concetrate on the subject, on the facts he was presenting, my attention slipped constantly.

So I left the book without rating.

The Nutcracker Curse - Margo Ryerkerk
19th of March

* This book was sooo princessy...... too much... More aimed at tweens... I was given the book by the Author to review..... Im trying to think of something nice to say but its so sporadic... like Rainbow.. Snake.... golden nuts..... Unicorn...

Mini Tasks

* A witch is mentioned in the book as being very talented and creating copies of portals.... (if that counts)

* the guard falls in love with the princess so maybe that counts for falling in love with the boss (lol)

I hate books like that esp when you feel like you have to finish it

[Melindam]

And I thought ... this would be interesting. Funny thing is, maybe it is, but the author-narrator just killed it with his abysmal performance.

Napsütötte Toszkàna (on tracking sheet and uno shelf)

"E" character is allowed to be used, so it could work for WD4 -8 Yellow

[Alma]

Am I right in thinking foreign languages are allowed? Its good to know

[Melindam]

Yes, they are. :)

I put this book in for the royalty task for now, and then will move it to one of the others as needed.

[Heather]

And I've got the sheet updated! I'll try to log on over the weekend to update the sheets as well, but worst case I'll get caught up on Monday.

Fingers crossed I have some time to get some serious reading in! I started the Scandinavia book, and it's one that is translated into English, which I always find tougher when I first start reading. I'm hoping that as the story picks up I can start moving faster through it.

[Melindam]

Heather! Don't worry, just enjoy your w/e & reading if you can. :)

I am gerting stronger and can get some time in front of a laptop without getting headaches, so I can also do the updates if needed. :)

How to Survive Christmas - Jilly Cooper
20th March
*i was disappointed it wasn't a proper story more what goes wrong at Christmas

Mini
Bird on cover
Crown on cover
(Also a Chapter about carol singers if that justifies a music band)

Maybe this would work as red cover?? im not sure will leave it up to you to decide, robin has red breast and background

[Melindam]

Hi Laura,

it's a borderline case with the red cover. I'll check it on my laptop later.

Its something like 49. for the background on tineye... but i wasnt sure about the robin... it looks Orange but they are called Robin red breasts... i dont really think it does count... but i thought i would check to see if i could get away with it

[Melindam]

Yes, it will be Apr 1st, 9.00 am UTC time. Books finished afterwards will count for the April cards.

[Melindam]

Perfect, Lorna! :) Then I can swap my guitar book for the musical band. :)

What's the character's name playing the guitar?

[Melindam]

Also, while you are planning your April reading, be in the lookout for colour covers, please. :)

[Melindam]

OK, that's fine. :)

It's over 50% even if by a close margin (50,4) according to tineye, so we are going to use it as a WD4 for Red 0.

yaaay thanks for checking Mel

[Melindam]

Hello Teamies!

I hope you are all well and having a lovely w/e.

Here is a little update on where we are currently.

- Altogether for the March cards we have read 70 books, we still have 34 to go. And we still need 4 reserves
But we have covered ALL COLOUR AND WD4 CARDS!
AWESOME! :)

- For the Mini Challenge we have covered 25 books, we have 20 to finish

We have 7 tasks yet unspoken for. So please be on the lookout. :)

18. Read a book with diamond jewellery on the cover

22. Read a book where the MC is a dancer

29. Read a book where the MC falls in love with their boss(es)

30. Read a book with the word "Dance" in the title/ top shelf "Dance"

32. Read a book with the word "air" in the title/series title

35. Read a book with at least 2 men on the cover

44. Read a book with a gun/guns on the cover (this can be swapped with white, men's clothing on cover task)

[Melindam]

If noone finds anything, I could cover the diamond or the "air in the title" tasks, but I am already stretched, as I have the 500+ pages task and the "permed hair" book is also almost 500 pages

[Laura..devouring books like crumpets]

I'm reading my witchy book now and panther book....

the myth/ god book I will read next

I do have books with jewelry on cover so I can maybe do diamonds... also have plenty of billionaire boss books , also a white shirt I have....

the remaining ones I have nothing for though

[Laura..devouring books like crumpets]

I will see if any of the ones I am able to do are still available after I finish myth book if so will look for something white shirt/diamond/boss

[Melindam]

Laura, if you could take the white shirt book, it would be awesome, then we could move "Emerald Blaze" for the "gun on cover" task.

[Melindam]

I could read "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" to cover "MPG Christian" as it's short but still has the required word count and my "The Inklings" book could be moved for task "at least 2 men on the cover".

[Laura..devouring books like crumpets]

ok I can take white shirt put me down for that x

[Melindam]

♡ :)

[Melindam]

Awesome, Lorna! Thank you! :))

[Melindam]

It will work for Task 7, MPG "Christian" . I'll move my book to Task 35 instead.

[Melindam]

It's a weird feeling, but I can recommend you join the group "Nothing but reading challenges" where they have both great individual and group challenges. :)

Updating the Update :)



Hello Teamies!

I hope you are all well and having a lovely w/e.

Here is a little update on where we are currently.

- Altogether for the March cards we have read 71 books, we still have 33 to go. And we still need 3 reserves
But we have covered ALL COLOUR AND WD4 CARDS!
AWESOME! :)

- For the Mini Challenge we have covered 25 books, we have 20 to finish

We have 5 tasks yet unspoken for. So please be on the lookout. :)

1. Read a book with a crown on the cover/the word "crown" in the title

18. Read a book with diamond jewellery on the cover (Laura?)

22. Read a book where the MC is a dancer

29. Read a book where the MC falls in love with their boss(es) (Laura?)

30. Read a book with the word "Dance" in the title/ top shelf "Dance"

[Barbara]

I cannot promise to do so, but I will try to:
I am reading The Cruel Prince for Prompt 01 and if I finish it I could read the following book of the series The Wicked King for the Prompt 32.
Both are books from "The Folk of the Air Series".

[Melindam]

Barbara, let's have your book, The Cruel Prince for the "Air in the title/subtitle" task, because this is more difficult to find, I think.

So if anyone has a book that would work for crown in title/crown on the cover, please let us know.

[Melindam]

I should have waited with :)

Anyway, I could recommend it as a very enjoyable and quick read. It's only 120 pages.
