My fist wheel book will be , which doesn't seem to fit anywhere either, lol.

(typically, a 500-pager!)

[Sammy]

Finally going to actually read (which I added to my "currently reading" 5 and 1/2 years ago, then promptly misplaced. Have recently found it again!), which has a green cover and a possibility of amputees, being Star Wars and all... If it does I'll move it to there.

(it also has more than one author should that come up on the just for fun wheel again! lol)

[Melindam]

Great find, Sammy. :)

[Melindam]

2 books I am planning will be rereads (The Dragon Reborn is one of them for the 651+task), but 1 -Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries- will be new, so it may fit a task or other.

[Melindam]

Just finished Thornyhold.

Could "harking" instead of "hark" in text be accepted?

I have this nice little sentence: ... the dog itself was harking back"

[Cat]

I found an actual hark and stuck it in - hadn't seen your message, sorry Mel.

And new spin:

Frankenstein’s Monster
1 175-225
2 Possessive in title
3 Author publishes using a pseudonym (can also use real name - initials are not a pseudonym)
4 Read a book from either list: 1. https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1... (no series sub) or 2. https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2... (can series sub)
5 MC runs away from a place or person

[Sammy]

I can probably read from one of the lists, but it'll be a few days/a week or so, as I have a few others to get through first, so if someone beats me to it, no worries 😊

[Melindam]

That's OK, Cat. I am glad that task was claimed. :)

[Melindam]

I finally started on The Dragon Reborn and making good progress.

For Frankenstein, I claimed task 2 as another book I have started for Wheel, will work for it.

[Sammy]

You beat me to the children's MPG Cat. just got a copy of Coraline, which would work. Holler if you're only reading to fill the task 😉

[Cat]

I'm reading it to fill a task on SRC. You'll be done with Coraline before I'm done with Tuesday, so do boot me out!

[Sammy]

If I get to it before you, sure. Be a couple of days though so I can use it for the next turf round 😉

I have claimed Author initials in WHALE.

Can Dublin be considered as "coastal setting"?

[Cat]

uhhhhh.... some of the outlying suburbs are coastal, but the main city not so much, so I guess my answer is "it depends" ?

[Melindam]

Cat wrote: "uhhhhh.... some of the outlying suburbs are coastal, but the main city not so much, so I guess my answer is "it depends" ?"

Yeah, will see. I have not started the book yet, so I don't know which part(s) of Dublin are mentioned.

[Sammy]

Sophie, I just finished an 800+ book. Are you close to finishing Kushiel, or do you want me to swap it out and see if another comes up for you in the meantime?

[Sophie, The other one]

Swap it out! Kushiel's slow going

[Sammy]

No problem (I'm probably the only one that flies through those books in a couple of days apiece, lol!)

[Sammy]

Nessie has swum away (no killing Nessie please!) and spinning for a new Urban legend...

Great! :)

[Sammy]

amusingly, the 2 books I've read today for the Asian wheel are Asian books (Japanese). what are the chances of that?

we can thank the current turf wars lists for that, lol.

Changed my mind about 4 times on which list book I was going to re-read, but have settled on Solaris 😁

[Melindam]

We finished off Python and Frankenstein's Monster.

Here is Spin 1:

LAMIA

MC visits a place with ice
"obsidian" in text

[Sammy]

I got nothing with the book I finished or the next up 😢

[Sophie, The other one]

You are all still progressing these monsters much faster than my contributions!

[Melindam]

We are not in a hurry - luckily, my previous books worked both for wheel and monsters.

And I decided to go on rereading the Wheel of Time series and they can fit lots of stuff.
After From Lukov with Love, I need a palate cleanser. That book really drove me up the wall.

Also, I removed my book from authors initials in WHALE, if you happen to have sth that fits.

[Sammy]

Nope, no hurry at all!

But there is something very satisfying about your current book being perfect for a task without having to go hunting, lol.

[Cat]

We've disposed of a LOT of monsters already - 40 completed in a couple of months!

As far as fitting new tasks - My next after I finish Last First Snow will probably by Whisper Network, for the W title and the marimba in text!

[Sammy]

Not bad considering there are only 4 of us! 😁

[Melindam]

We are doing great!!! 🥰

True. 🤭

[Sammy]

Fernand Mondego has gotten his come-uppance. spinning for another human...

And look who's back!

The Cigarette-Smoking Man (The X-Files)

100 to 175
Tagged UFO or Aliens (10 times minimum)
Read a book with partners (your interpretation)
Published between 1993-2018
Hand holding something on cover

[Sammy]

I have a book coming up next that covers hand and aliens 😁

[Melindam]

Goody! :)

[Melindam]

Could this cover get away with "night sky"? Or not really?

[Sammy]

Maybe? I think a case could be made that the blue behind the gate is meant to be the night sky..?

[Cat]

Oooof. Very close. Even for me!
But there's certainly dark sky, so I can see that as night

[Melindam]

I removed my book from the slot someone is kidnapped (Lamia), so if anyone has an option for that, please go for it.

I can still cover "child (under age 18) is an important part of the plot", but will only finish a book for it next week, so once again, go for it, if you have anything that may work. :)

[Sammy]

I just finished one with a 16-y-o MC, so can use that, then hopefully yours will fit something by the time you get around to it.

Got nothing for kidnap yet, but maybe my next book?

[Melindam]

Go for it, Sammy. I am sure, my book will work for sth else.

BTW, it is set in Vienna, in case you need one for wheels. 😉

[Sammy]

The Cigarette-Smoking Man has gone up in a puff of smoke. his replacement is:

Number Two (The Prisoner)

200 to 299

[Cat]

defeated Bakekujira

spun.....

Bakekujira
1 100 to 175
2 Author initials in WHALE
3 Birds or fish on cover
4 ghost important to plot
5 Setting is costal or on the ocean


sigh....

[Cat]

I've got one that covers page count and WHALE author.

How do we feel about putting helicopter into service as bird again?



ETA: and it turns out there is a person known as Ghost in the book..... we good with using a living person with that nickname for that task?

sadly not coastal setting though

[Sammy]

lmao! Cat's wheel curse strikes again.

I'm (obviously) happy with the helicopter thing. And I like the stretchiness of using Ghost. as the task doesn't say 'A ghost', just 'ghost', it totally works, I'd say.

[Melindam]

Super happy with the helicopter as bird thingy and Ghost. :)
