Do we do completion posts or just the ss?Answered myself with just ss 😃
I'm happy to move my books if a better bet comes along.
Same, I had so many creatures in this book. Wasn’t sure where it put it
Thanks for the list Cats! Should we message Amanda, guessing she forgot about this challenge.

I’m back in town and should get moving along with my books . Long weekends aren’t good for reading for me.

👍
A Boggart is a shape-shifting creature that will assume the form of whatever most frightens the person who encounters it. Nobody knows what a Boggart looks like if nobody is there to see it, although it continues to exist, usually giving evidence of its presence by rattling, shaking or scratching the object in which it is hiding. Boggarts particularly like confined spaces, but may also be found lurking in woods and around shadowy corners.
The spell that defeats a Boggart can be tricky, because it involves making the creature into a figure of fun, so that fear can be dispelled in amusement.
1. Read a book that is MPG Humor
2. Read a book where the MC laughs
3. Read a book with Author's initials in HUMOR
4. Read a book where a character thinks they are funny but they really aren't!
Books must be read for this Bonus Monster and checked in before continuing with your regular monsters!
You have until Saturday, September 16th 11:59 pm (Your time zone)
Ok Ladies ! Time to get that Bonus monster :DWe have to finish the bonus before any other monsters, in Q&A someone asked if all of us have to finish or is it individual.
So I'm pausing my current read and will find a book to fit . We cannot use a book that we are currently reading.
We all 3 have to finish before any other books can be finished. And we check in as a team
cool I should definitely be able to finish my book by Friday night
I'll be starting an MPG humour today.
I started a humor tonight. It’s a shortie so not huge for points but I have some longer ones to balance it out 😉
I’ll finish my Boggart tomorrow, I’m holding off to use it for another challenge. 😉

Completion post ~ BOGGART BONUS MONSTER Book: Wild Pork and Watercress by Barry Crump
Task: 1. Read a book that is MPG Humor
How it Fits: MPG HUMOR
Date Read: 9/13/23
I'm getting a bunch of short books finished for Turf while waiting for Amanda to finish because I would rather use longer books for this task :D
Completion Post for Boggart Bonus MonsterBook: Second Chance Passby Robyn Carr
Task 2. Read a book where the MC laughs
HIF: PG. 20 "Stop it!" she had laughed, slapping his arm, neither of them realizing how prophetic his words would be.
I've checked us in... I'm going to finish my other book :D
Just remember, if you've got a book worth more points for one I've already filled go ahead & replace it or move it. Make a note & I'll update the list in msg6.
Sounds good, right now there are so many still open that I’ve just been looking for those that fit. I’ve been trying to pick longer books , and any short ones I just haven’t been putting on the SS.
I've been putting in everything, obviously 😊I guess we can fill it & then move books around up to 30 Nov.
I just don't want you or Amanda to have a perfect big book & nowhere to fit it if the slot already has a smaller book in it.
An imp is a European mythological being similar to a fairy or demon, frequently described in folklore and superstition. The word may perhaps derive from the term ympe, used to denote a young grafted tree.
Imps in general are susceptible to the effects of Spirit.
1. Read a book with a ghost in the story
2. MC can see and talk to ghosts
3. Title starts with any of the letters from SPIRIT.
4. Read a book where a séance is performed
Books must be read for this Bonus Monster and checked in before continuing with your regular monsters!
