Melissa | 1896 comments Go Teresa, slay her!!


message 908: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments Would Cavern or Caved work for Cave?


message 909: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1896 comments I'm not sure, I'm trying to find that in something rule-ish


message 910: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments if Caved counts, Vortex would work for that as well


message 911: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1896 comments :( Nope :( :(
But I found a mother...


message 912: by Melissa (new)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments ugh!!!

I do have a book for sword but it works for a few others including sorceress...


message 917: by Stacey (new)

Stacey (boydsmom) | 1377 comments Wow. It's like the sheep books at the beginning....

I have a book done that works for the page number (352) and cave.
Whiteout.
Page 286 "....into a long CAVE...."


message 918: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1896 comments I finished Death on the Nile, so substituted one on the Sirens to finish it off.

To vanquish this monster you must:

3.) Read a book with "spear" in the text.
4.) Read a book with MPG War.
5.) Read a book that features a lion, goat, or snake.


message 921: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments I’m just about finished one with spear and 415 pgs

(To bad it wasn’t panther instead of a lion or it would have that too)


message 922: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1896 comments Sounds good.
I'll look for an Egyptian Lion :)


message 923: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments I don’t have access to the spread sheet. Could you add:

Infinite Bond, 415 pgs, spear “… and spears flew my way.” Pg 310 finished today.


message 924: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1896 comments Sure!


message 925: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments Thank you!


message 926: by Nanci (new)

Nanci | 2567 comments Mary and Stacey, I'm with you on not liking Daisy Jones.
That really makes me feel ancient that the 80s are historical! Our kids were born in the 80s! Mary if you're feeling old and you were a teen in the 80s than I must be prehistoric! LOL

Keli, my guess is you'll like Malibu. I've liked her other books.


message 927: by Nanci (new)

Nanci | 2567 comments Melissa, if you want to use Things We Lost in the Water, the MC is a mother. That is the only task it works for though.

Good news! The mods said as long as I read it during the challenge then I could count it, so it works! I'll answer questions as they come out and add it to the BOM spreadsheet.


message 929: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments To clarify

MPG is genre on main page only? or does it include page one of top shelves?

(I have so many challenges going right now with different rules that I can't remember)

It's the genres that appear on the right on the GR book page. So NOT the top shelves thing.


message 931: by Keely (new)

Keely (kiwifruit192) | 1818 comments As I got to participate in the first round of the warships, I will let other people have a chance, but if needed I can try and cover something for it.

Already used :)


message 934: by Keli (new)

Keli | 1325 comments I just finished Definitely Dead, which had someone using a sword, had a lion in it and author’s name has all the letters of HERA.


message 935: by Stacey (new)

Stacey (boydsmom) | 1377 comments I can take one of the Warships tasks for the week.

It's..."


Thanks!

Another question - for locations, how much need to be in the country/Countries?


message 937: by Keely (new)

Keely (kiwifruit192) | 1818 comments I am reading The Witch's Heart which people are using for the warships. If no one else wants to claim a spot for this round, then I can fill a space for us.


message 938: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1896 comments Sure! I’m reading Princess for the feminism one too :)


message 939: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1896 comments I think that gives us 5 spots! Eni has one too. So perfect.


message 940: by Maddy (new)

Maddy | 2127 comments Archer's Aim A M/M Daddy Romance (Dark Reserves Series Book 3) by CS Joyce

Need page count
245 pages - https://www.amazon.com/Archers-Aim-Da...


message 941: by Nanci (new)

Nanci | 2567 comments I took T160 MC is a mother with the same book you read, Melissa, The Swimmers for the monster Echnida. I should have it finished maybe as early as tomorrow.

Do you want me to put you on the spreadsheet for warships for Witch's Heart?

Is this for the monster "set in" part? I think there is no need for tags for that one.

I should be finished with my sorceress book soon!


message 944: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (teresab78) | 1658 comments No, it was for war tag - I was trying to find a books set in the location and war for that one task (unsuccessfully unfortunately)

That’s also why I wanted to know how much needs to be in one of the listed countries.


message 945: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 1896 comments Phew, I know it. I'm trying to find a snake book set in Asia Minor. Not something you can ask at the book store without an incredulous face!
I'm sleepy, so forgive me, but do we still need an answer for these questions? I can seek one out.

I would say more than 50% of it has to be in the listed country. But I'll do some digging and see if it's in the rules saying otherwise.

Eni has one too what? Oo

I did volunteer for warships xD I was just curious on what you were counting me on, because I volunteered after you said that xD all is well :p
