I loved The Princess Bride movie growing up and I finally read the book about 10 years ago... and I absolutely hated the book! 🤣 in my mind since I’d seen the movie first that’s the preferred version

I can read
For 21. Read a book where the MC is a doctor/nurse
Is this ok?
Also i can read
If it works?
For #30 Read a book with the word "Dance" in the title/ top shelf "Dance"
Yes, the mods ruled in the captains group that a memoir by a doctor would count, so looks like that should work!Clock Dance should work as well!

Diane, please correct me if im wrong but i thought they were both panthers..it has been a while since i read it though
According to Wikipedia, the genus panther includes tigers, lions, leopards, jaguars, and snow leopards... so that might work, I think
Hmmm. I'll have to ask about that one! I don't know enough to know for certain.I'll ask in the captains group and let you know.

Sorry Diane for butting in on your book pick

I'd have thought the same thing! I went down the rabbit hole of Google as to panthers vs. leopards and got more confused than ever.
So now just waiting on the mods to weigh in!
Yeah, thanks for stirring it up Janeylou!!! I have always thought they were fairly interchangeable, panther, leopard and jaguar. Will wait to hear the ruling.
It has been ruled as OK!!!I did learn that panthers can refer to either jaguars or leopards depending on the region. So technically it might not be a leopard but a jaguar....but by the time someone came in with that clarification, the mod had already ruled it OK, so it is now considered a gift panther! ;-)
I waited a little longer to come back here in case that changed the ruling, but it is indeed still allowed!
Whoops, just realized I had a formatting error on this post so some were crossed out when they shouldn't have been. It's fixed now!

Great news
Yayy! Reading it for another challenge anyway, so it's all good.
Can you find out whether we have to find the words 'rags to riches' in the description somewhere for #17, or whether it would work if it is called a 'Cinderella' story?
It doesn't need the words, just the plot! So a Cinderella type plot should work.
I still plan on reading
for the 4 Blue and
for our Space goal.

MINI challenge #30 read a book with the word Dance in it.
I'm currently reading a book that will fit #43 - the main character is an only child AND the book is the first in a series:Truly Devious
It's also the remaining blue cover book. I will finish it maybe tonight, but definitely by tomorrow...
I think I will read Cinderellis next which I was thinking for Rags to Riches (#17), but it also has a guitar on the cover, so whichever works.

I'm pretty sure I have a book that will fit that, but the ebook edition doesn't have the guitar on the cover, so I have to go dig through my bookselves later!
Gwen, I'll mark you down for #43!
And I'll officially mark myself down for Eclipse I suppose... haha.
Updated unclaimed task list:3. Read a book where a character is a god / with MPG or top shelf "Mythology"
13. Read a book where a character from a book ends up in real life or where a real life character gets transported into a book
18. Read a book with diamond jewellery on the cover
23. Read a book where a character has permed hair/gets their hair permed (extra 5 points for if you find "hair like Meg Ryan's" in the text ;)
36. Read a book with MPG Travel
If one of these was claimed but I missed it, please feel free to correct me!
Also, we received additional clarification that the "hair like Meg Ryan" bonus point reference can be in any task. It doesn't have to be one where someone has a perm.
Edited to remove newly claimed tasks
I can do # 15 ..love my musicians Em, let me know if you struggle with 27
I am looking at doing #3 -- Gods/Mythology

I also just realized I have ANOTHER book with a pink dress on the cover in my TBR (and here I thought that'd be hard to accomplish) so I think I'm going to move the book I just finished for #16 over the #45 since it was set in California. I'll use the other book for #16.

38. Read a book with the word "eclipse" in the title / an eclipse depicted on the cover
...I can read Eclipse. But if someone else wants this one, please feel free to take it! :-P (I actually don't mind this series in general as it's one of my guilty pleasures, but this is my least favorite of the series).
