I checked my kindle and found that Aunt Bessie's X-Ray is free on kindle, so against my better judgement I downloaded it. :D

Will check if it has "exterminate" in text.

Also, I got as a present from a friend yesterday, but will only be able to start it after wheel, so I will keep the "dog on cover" slot free.

I've started a 700+ one which of course is useless for everything...

Also, is it me, or are we one short?"

We are 1 short, I think. :)

Sammy, you defeated Cyberman."

I did, then got us some daleks instead, lol.

[Melindam]

Oh... sorry...

[Melindam]

Obviously I was acting before my coffee kicked in

[Sammy]

No worries, I Iike doctor who 😁

[Melindam]

Finished The Hound of the Baskervilles. #

I could have sworn I have read it, but I did not remember a single thing about it, apart from big dog/Devon moors.

Getting older... sigh

[Sammy]

Welcome to my life... lol.

[Melindam]

:D

[Melindam]

Found "exterminate" in a short book , so I will listen to it today to do away with Daleks. :)

[Melindam]

Done away with Daleks and spun an Asian monster

KABANDHA:
1. 350 to 450
2. MPG Mythology
3. Torso on cover
4. MC has a brother
5. Tree(s) on cover

[Melindam]

Claiming "trees on cover"

[Cat]

I can take MC has brothers (mentioned but they don't get page time mind)

[Cat]

Unclaimed tasks

in one easy place as a reminder:

*Seal or dog on cover
*Read a book with a ecological message/ theme (your interpretation)
100-150 pages
Author initials (all) in TORCHWOOD
* 350 to 450 pages
* MPG Mythology
* Torso on cover

*the first two and last three are friends, so books that cover seal+ecological or 350-400+MPG+torso for the win!


I've a a couple more that I need to focus on for Wheel, then I might have more time for hunting down specifics for this :)

[Sammy]

I'm away from 5 minutes from now until saturday early eve. after I finish my current books I can also see if I have anything that fits. During wheel it has pretty much been "read a book and see if it fits here".

[Melindam]

I can take on the "dog on cover" and see if it may work for task ecological message, but only after Wheel. :)

[Sammy]

I'm not looking to re-read either of these any time soon, but if anyone is looking for a good ecological themed book, The Swarm was fantastic and Termination Shock was also extremely good.

[Melindam]

The Swarm is one of hubby's favourite book, but right now I don't think I am up to tackle these type of books. :)

Saw this. Had to share.

[Melindam]

Ahhh.... it says it has been blocked it in my country on copyright grounds.

But obviously I can still see the title and totally appreciate the sentiment. ♡

[Sophie, The other one]

Oh no! Sorry Mel that's not the plan

[Sophie, The other one]

I needed that, thank you!

[Melindam]

Just found another post on this which I could watch, lol. Thank you for the prompt, Sophie.

How many times have I watched it?

Only once, of course. ;)

[Sophie, The other one]

No problem ladies! Can't keep anything that good to myself.

You were being responsible for your team obviously Mel! When wheels finishes you have time to watch again.

[Sammy]

I just claimed the hat, as I need the same for another challenge!

Now, maybe just watch the above video one more time while I wait to see if anyone has any more books for our team 😂

[Melindam]

Sophie, I have put your Secret Santa book under J.R. as I've just finished A Christmas Carrol, so we can chase away the Baskerville hound. :)

[Melindam]

2. Tagged "undead" (5 or more times)"
3. Author first and last name start with same letter
4. MC visits a place with ice
5. "obsidian" in text"

500 to 650
Title has 5 or more words
Set in Wales, Scotland, or N Ireland
Blue cover (>50%)
Author initials (all) in VICTORIAN

[Melindam]

I am wondering if it could pass for an "ecological message" that in the book the characters are planning to set up a beach bakery and will ask customers to bring their own cups to reduce water usage for washing up and also the use of plastic cups to "save the planet".

Or is it too thin?

[Cat]

I'm good with that! :D

[Melindam]

Oh good, then we can do away with Bunyip :)

[Melindam]

Got us a shiny new monster (even though it's a snek)

HOOP SNAKE:

1. 100 to 175
2. Circle on cover
3. Set in the United States, Canada, or Australia
4. 10 in page count
5. MC runs away from something

[Melindam]

I have created a 2023 "Top of the Books" over at Perks and would love it if you could drop by some time (January is also fine!) and share your Top 5 or Top 10 books of the year.

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

No rush or pressure, but it would be lovely to see your lists some time. :)

[Melindam]

I am reading A Christmas to Remember, which is a 2-in-1 book, containing 2 books also published on their own.

How do we feel about using them for 2 tasks under 2 separate monsters? 1 would work for MC has big family, the other is set in Scotland (not the whole book, but over 50%).

[Melindam]

Happy Holidays, fellow monster-hunters. ♡

[Sophie, The other one]

I'd be happy with separating them, but let's see if Cat and Sammy have an opinion.


Belated happy holidays to you all!

[Sophie, The other one]

And my gift to you is Fernand Mondego as a new monster to defeat.


350 to 450
MC betrays or is betrayed

Hodag
1 200 to 299
2 Book set in the Great Lake Region of the US and Canada
3 Green Cover (>50%)
4 Author has E or S in initials
5 HOAX in title

[Sammy]

Sorry guys, just got back from christmas with the fam. hope you all had a great one!

will go see if any of my books fit.

[Sammy]

I can read a book from the list for Shelob, though probably won't be done with it for a couple of weeks. Striking out on the great lakes task though... 😢

[Cat]

I'm giving the undead tag one a stern look, wishing it'd go away!

Great Lakes - at some point I can get to a Harry Dresden, but no guarantees when!

So, unclaimed tasks are:

White Walker - Tagged "undead" (5 or more times) - Sophie (might be couple of weeks)
Mondego - "ND" together in author name - Sammy
Shelob - Book from list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/3... (series sub ok) - Sammy (in a couple of weeks) or Sophie


Hodag - set in the Great Lake Region of the US and Canada - Chicago is an easy option
Hodag - HOAX in title

[Melindam]

My reading got superslow as I was travelling with family in Germany. Hope to get back to speed over the w/e and next week. :)

[Sammy]

I recently read the last of my zombie books, and only "want" to read another of that undead vampire queen series if I need a U for a team challenge, lol!

I can grab "ND"... with a Dumas I have waiting in the wings.

[Sammy]

I checked my next Sookie stackhouse. "Unread", yes, "Undead", no 😂

[Sophie, The other one]

I've finally managed to get my hands on Feed which I've been wanting to read for a while, so it might take me a couple of weeks, but I'll get that cleared.

ETA I can work my way to The Call of the Wild in time for the list book if Sammy doesn't get there first.

[Sammy]

I quite enjoyed that one. Read it for MRR. Surprising amount of food for a post-apocalypse book 😂
