I also rather loved Little Dorrit!

Honestly, my least favourite was A Tale of Two cities, and I still gave that 3 (and a half) stars. And I was probably not in the right mood for it at the time, so rating may yet change 😁

Caucasian eagle has flown away, so spinning Asian again...

Question: I am reading The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett.

Can Queen Elizabeth II be considered as a kind of last representative of the generation of "traditional rulers" or something of that sort?

As in Smaug task - "book is about the last of something"

[Cat]

I wouldn't say so, no. :(
though nice try!

[Melindam]

Yeah, a bit sweaty, but it was worth a question. ;)

[Sophie, The other one]

For the last of something - I have just finished Starter Villian. I'd say Charlie is the last of his mother's family or that Dobrev is the last supervillian.

Also parts of it take place by lake Como (or Garda - my memory is terrible) so could also cover that task.

[Sammy]

Hmmm, managed to cover the male author, but that's as far as my current books will go. :(

[Melindam]

Raxacoricofallapatorian has been done away with.

[Sophie, The other one]

I've got a brown covered zombie book up v soon.

[Melindam]

Yaayy! :)

[Cat]

Mel, I moved your System Collapse from the page count into "light source on cover", as I could cover eel and page count :)

annoyingly I'm reading a book set in Rep of Ireland, not NI. grrrrrr!

i've another book on the go that fits nothing, but once I get that off my slate I'll hunt down something useful!

[Melindam]

Sure, Cat. :) Feel free to (re)move any books of mine that aren't finished yet.

[Cat]

actually, change of reading plans. I was reading a horror to finish SRC, but it was sloooooooow going. so I've switched to Ring Shout, which covers the novella and afrofuturism tag tasks.
Clark was born in US, so don't think counts as African diaspora though?

Yeah, I was planning on reading The Princes of Ireland soon, but that ain't gonna help much either...

[Melindam]

Mothman was chased away & Sasquatch has emerged. Don't remember if we already fought it or not..

[Sammy]

I don't think we've seen him yet.

I'm currently listening to a brown book.

[Melindam]

Does "System Collapse" work for feet on cover? (sorry, on the App again)

[Sammy]

If we're happy with said feet being in boots, definitely! :)

[Melindam]

:D

[Sammy]

I'll add it to feet & double letter for you 😉

[Melindam]

Awesome, thank you Sammy.

Tomorrow my next Audible credits arrive and I'll buy it right away and start to listen. ;)

I think it's just a cunning ploy to distract her from reading for wheels!😂

It sure as hell distracted me. Even made me think longingly of maths. Never thought I'd see the day. 😅

[Sophie, The other one]

I've just shuffled stuff as I have finished something that covers 3 of the Sasquatch tasks.

[Melindam]

Oh joy, I remembered a Rosamunde Pilcher U-book that is set in Scotland, so I'll grab that spot. :)

[Sammy]

Awesome! I do also have plenty of Scotland books, but currently I'm in Middle Earth, and I have about 8 other books already lined up after that before I can get to anything else, lol.

[Melindam]

U is going on taking precedence for me in the next round (I just KNEW we'd get the dreaded vuvu-word, lol), but I am heartily sick of it. :D

[Melindam]

Sasquatch has been banished, Cactus Cat popped up.

1. 100 to 175
2. MC gets drunk/tipsy
3. A cat is important to the plot

[Melindam]

Just finished a book that works for 1 & 5

[Sammy]

Where was that one before we read Starter Villain?

[Melindam]

Sammy wrote: "Where was that one before we read Starter Villain?"

🤣

[Melindam]

Texas can be considered as (mostly) a dry setting, right?

How do you find the book, Sammy? And the narrator?

[Sammy]

Loving it! And the narrator too. while my first choice would have been Andy Serkis, this one does a really great job.

A lot of the content is already in the dvd extras, but I'm geek enough not to care, lol.

[Sammy]

Most of it definitely is!

I thought the narrator was fantastic and with you on the don't-mind-the-repetition stuff. 🥰

Bad timing! We were all too efficient with it.

[Melindam]

Sammy, you did read The Unadulterated Cat for Wheel, right? So it has the required word count.

Update:

Just checked Country's sheet, so I have my answer. :)

Which means I am grabbing it to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. ;)

[Sammy]

Yep.

[Melindam]

Sammy,

what was the word count? I cannot find it on arbookfind uk/us and your spreadsheet doesn't say either. :(

Thanks.

[Sammy]

I'm not sure I found a wordcount. At the time there weren't any MPGs needing one? (makes a change for Pratchett... It always drives me nuts that people shelve them as children's books, lol!)

My issue was 128 pages, I believe, with only about half a dozen illustrations. I know there are longer page versions with a load more illustrations which were released later, I think.

[Sophie, The other one]

There's nothing I can see that would need a word count for wheels.

[Melindam]

It is this blasted new page setting (hatehatehate it!!), I cannot decide where the MPG list stops. 😖

[Melindam]

When I open the page, it does not list any questionable genres (ending with British Lit), but when I extend by clicking on the "more" button (still on the "main page" so to speak) it lists "comics", that's why I got confused, sorry.
