I have books for all the Hamish categories. I haven't read them yet but they're pretty short so I should be done soon.

[Caitlin]

I'm also 37% through Twisted Games and I'm hoping to finish by the weekend!

[Melanie]

Claiming Flounder - Author's last name ends with a letter in GUPPY

[Ela (Mouse333)]

Claiming:
Timon & Pumbaa - Letters M, E, E, R, K, A, T in series

[Ela (Mouse333)]

Suggestion:
Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell (Aly) is moved to Timon & Pumbaa - 'Hog' in text, as it seems like a hard word to find.
For Mushu - 'Biscuit' in text, I just found a retelling that has 'biscuits' in it.

Would it be ok if we did this?

That's fine with me

[Aly]

I'm currently reading Once Upon a Broken Heart and could use that for an optimistic character. I'll be done in a few hours

[Ela (Mouse333)]

Claiming:
Olaf - 'Snowman' in text

I should be able to finish it today.

[Aly]

Since Alaina did scores, I found another book with hog in it that I'll read and bank next week

[Melany]

I got one for Hog its short I should have it finished by the end of the day

[Aly]

Melany wrote: "I got one for Hog its short I should have it finished by the end of the day"

Okay great.

[Melanie]

Just realized I won't be able to get to my "Timon & Pumbaa: MC causes a distraction" book with my other reads this month. So that task is back open in case anyone's fits it.

[Ela (Mouse333)]

I just banked a book that fulfils Pascal - MC knows Sign Language

[Alaina]

Congrats! You have completed the last four tasks of Iago & Olaf! Your new character is Flounder & Flora, Fauna & Merryweather!

You will be reading for the last 4 tasks in order to complete these two characters on the Round 1 tab. Good luck completing them!

I can do: Flounder - Letters F, L, O, U, N, D, E, R in title

[Melanie]

I might have one for TART, let me look really quick.

[Mia]

Gosh I'm so overwhelmed and busy rn, I've had trouble keeping up. I do have a book for author's initials in TART. Should I post that or does someone else have that covered? Thanks!

I was literally just starting mine, so by all means take it! I didn't particularly want to read this book now and was only doing so to fill the task.

[Mia]

Okay, awesome! I'll post it in a sec :)

[Melanie]

Mia, I added the other books you finished to the spreadsheet. I don't see a place to fit Long Way Down but I might for Shadows of Self.

Do we think the magic in Shadows would count as elemental magic? It's Allomancy which is where the user does magic by using metals. I'm just not sure if metal would be considered elemental magic or not?

[Melany]

I'll ask

[Melanie]

Melany wrote: "I'll ask"

Thanks.

Here's what would be left to find books for in Round 1 if that counts.

[Mia]

Oh, thank you so much! I appreciate you adding them; I'd been meaning to ask for someone to bank them but life has been crazy. Umm... I think elemental magic might be a stretch? But maybe it could fit!

[Melanie]

And I just realized the next Mercy Thompson book I'm reading is on the Girls with Braids List, so I can actually cover that one.

[Esther]

Claiming Ray: MC has light magic

[Ela (Mouse333)]

I can do Anastasia & Drizella - Read a book from the Sister Books List

[Aly]

For our current categories, we have:

Anastasia & Drizella:
-Book from Sister Book list (claimed by Mouse)
-Series title has the word UGLY
-Author's initials DA or AD
-Ribbon or bow on cover

Terk:
-Headlock in text (claimed by Melanie)
-Letters J U N G L E in title

Tuk Tuk:
-Hybrid Book list (claimed by Mouse)
-Letters D R U U N in series title
-Dumpling in text (claimed by Mia)

[Melany]

The Letter D R U U N needs to be in the series title and not the book title, dumb question but if I had a book with those in the title it wouldn't work?

[Aly]

Melany wrote: "The Letter D R U U N needs to be in the series title and not the book title, dumb question but if I had a book with those in the title it wouldn't work?"

I believe so, since she specified series

[Melany]

Yeah I thought so but couldn't hurt to ask I guess

[Caitlin]

Claiming:
Nathaniel - Read a book from the infatuation list!

[Melanie]

I'll have my review for the Headlock in text book done later tonight. I also found a short book that works for "Letters J, U, N, G, L, E in title (in any order)" that I can read tonight.

[Aly]

Sweet!

[Ela (Mouse333)]

I found a book that works for Tuk Tuk - Letters D R U U N in series title

[Melany]

Mia "Long Way Down" is a graphic novel right? You can't post it for a categories but you could post it for page points

[Melanie]

Melany wrote: "Mia "Long Way Down" is a graphic novel right? You can't post it for a categories but you could post it for page points"

Not Mia, but it's poetry which counts for half points I think. So I think it's still long enough to qualify for a category.

[Melany]

Sorry I asked and they said it 1/4 the page points and when divided by 4 has to be more than 100 pages so I'm not sure but I thought it was graphic novel so I might be wrong

[Melanie]

There is a graphic novel version that got put out later, but the original book (which I think is the one Mia read) is poetry.

[Melany]

Ok so we wait

[Melanie]

I'm working on my review now for the last Terk task which I'll get posted tonight, so we'll get at least one new character tomorrow.

[Melanie]
