She did tell us... but we are monsters. ;)

This is pretty much a fun free for all, few rules apply aside from it actually has to work for the task :)"

Cool - thank you!

[Sammy]

September is great, gives us something to look forward to 😁

Sorry Cat, I never got a notification for the team thread. GR has been messing with me all day!

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

What... an upcoming New Wheel.. Would it sweeten the deal to say Monster Wheels are among my most favourite challenges EVER.

Thanks Mods, when you are ready..

Hi Teddie - I'd be down to join your team if it's not too late. This challenge sounds like fun and right up my alley!

Happy hunting on the back of a turtle!

[Sophie, The other one]

Has anyone found a book that is tagged tentacle at least once for the cthulthu that isn't tentacle porn. I'll read a lot of dubious material, but not wanting to go there.

[Sammy]

I would have expected at least some Lovecraft or lovecraft inspired stuff to be tagged such, but looking at this, it's all porn! 😆

That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf

this series is actually silly fun and while there are sexy times, there is actually a fun ridiculous plot and not just "let's have weird sex" on every page.

Also on KU

[Sophie, The other one]

I looked at that and yes, entirely porn.

A little mermaid retelling or a middle grade book including krakens would have been acceptable.

[Judith]

I looked at what was read when my team had that monster. We only spun it once and I read Kraken porn. Go me for taking one for the team!

I think it worked for 3 different challenges I had going at the time though so I just read it quickly through one open eyeball.

I think I can take this and even put it on my read shelf. 🤭

[Sophie, The other one]

The Graveyard Shift is tagged monster-tentacles if we find that an acceptable alternative and looks like there are no sexy times!

[Teddie]

lol - tentacle porn - good grief - lol.

[Sophie, The other one]

More searching and less panicking has made our group realise that the tentacles tag has a much better mix than tentacle.

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... for a summary list Sammy has creating.

[Lexi]

I wrote this prompt and really, the plural is a much better list and has lots of options. You don't have to read tentacle porn, but if you want to, I will not judge.

Task - RAB with a celestial body in the title.

A Court of Frost and Starlight

Does Starlight count as a celestial body?

[Judith]

Yes, I'd accept that

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Judith wrote: "Yes, I'd accept that"

Fabulous! 🌠

[Vicki]

Our team has been searching for a LONG time for "soul-sucking" in text. Is there a way to find it other than just hoping it pops up in one of our books? lol Any suggestions would be helpful. It's for Dementors and it is listed as HARD...it should be NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE! lol

[Melindam]

Lemme see, b/c we had it twice.

Last time Cat read "The gargoyle from general management" for this. (and the Wheel admin mini ;)

[Melindam]

The other -again read by Cat- was Battle Ground by Jim Butcher.

[Vicki]

Thank you, we've had that monster since May! lol

[Sophie, The other one]

"tagged ""heroine"" (5 or more times)"

For this task would the heroine being embedded in a large tag i.e strong-heroine be acceptable?

[Judith]

yes, that's fine!

[Sophie, The other one]

Thank you!

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Q - Is "decomposed" ok for "decompose" in text?

Thanks. Still loving the wheel. 😍

[Judith]

Yes, that’s fine!

I’m so happy people are enjoying this so much 🤗

Set somewhere starting with an A - Does America count?

[Judith]

No, it would be a U for United

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Judith wrote: "No, it would be a U for United"

I thought that may be the case but no harm in checking. 😁

Thank U

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Takes place in Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois and Mississippi - does the book have to take place in ALL these States or just one, or a couple?

Thank U

[Judith]

That should be or. Just one of those states

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Awesome! thanks.

It's time to celebrate :P

[Shaw]

Can I join now to complete this Holiday Wheel O’ Monsters?

[Judith]

Of course! This is completely self directed so start a thread and hunt away!

And feel free to use any of the wheels, there’s a fair few now to choose from

Happy Hunting (and reading) 🙂

[Shaw]

I’ll definitely undertake some of the other wheels as well- thanks!

[Catherine]

Can I join, please and thank You
