Lucky you!

Do we get Cat to spin the wheel again soon?

[Sammy]

It's probably the quickest way to get there 😂

Normally I'd probably land on the worst possible one too, but as I actually want this one now, it won't happen.

[Melindam]

I can imagine, Sophy about Niccoló. It took me 2 tries and reading the Ultimate Guide to finish The Game of Kings. And I thought I knew Scottish history quite well..... but Dunnett disabused me very quickly of that belief, lol.

But I cracked Book 2 fairly quickly and enjoyed it a lot.

[Sophie, The other one]

I read Lymond about 20 years ago. When I eventually finish Niccoló, I think it'll be time to go back for a reread.

[Sophie, The other one]

Mistletoe at Moonglow looks to me like it has red and blue on the cover so could count for the last 2 on Manmon Duck.

[Melindam]

I can put it there :)

[Lexi]

Hi you all, welcome to monsters, love the team name

[Melindam]

Hey Lexi

*waves*

[Melindam]

We have done away with Manman Duck, so we can spin for another monster. :)

[Melindam]

I spun the Greek wheel and got us a Griffin.

300 to 349
set in United States
red cover
"brave" or "courageous" in text
cross on cover

Additionally, I can cover the last 2 tasks for this one

[Cat]

I just finished this month's BOM which I think is the right page count and is defo set in States. Not a red cover though

Yaay

[Cat]

Except no, I'd put it elsewhere.

Let me look to see if my next book has aliens, so I can shift about

No aliens, but picking up a short book set in America

[Sammy]

hi Lexi!

[Sammy]

Done with Gideon, and my next book has wings on cover and jungle in text, so claiming those :)

[Cat]

Enjoy it? I know we found other funerals, but were there any?

[Sammy]

Not traditional ones like I'd imagine thinking of the task. could maybe have made it work, but happy we don't have to, lol.

I enjoyed the story, but not the characters. I suspect that's partly thanks to the narrator making them sound worse than they are. May try re-reading in paperback some time.

[Melindam]

My Siege of Malta book is turning out to be a very nice surprise. I didn't expect too much of it, but it's totally captivating docu-drama especially as read by Simon Vance.

[Sammy]

Finished the Cigarette smoking man and spun for another human...

Joffrey (Game of Thrones)

500 to 650
MC is royalty
Title starts with a letter in CROWN
Gold item on cover
More than one death in the book

[Sammy]

I'm grabbing royal MC with Innocent Traitor, and am guessing more than one person will die 😂

[Sammy]

Won't be finishing anything until Tuesday though 😉

[Melindam]

I claimed red cover + 9 in page count, but if you finish sth that fits sooner, feel free to kick my books out. :)

[Sophie, The other one]

I need to work out what my next read is.

Likely to be slow as I'm camping with family for a couple of days

[Melindam]

Have a lovely time, Sophie.

[Melindam]

I started Lymond #3, but I'll guess it'll take me some days to finish

[Cat]

I finished a book that fit the last two books in AHOOL, so spun the Greek wheel, hoping for Cerberus.


Sorry. got a snek :(

Python
1 100 to 175
2 features twins
3 Author name (first or last) starts with a letter in SWORD
4 character is pregnant
5 mentions some type of championship games (World Cup, Olympics, World Series, etc)

but happily, that meant I could slot Mel's English Air into a task :)

Goodie. 😊 It'll keep for a few days anyway (or for later, it can be removed again if necessary), as I will try to finish The Disorderly Knights first and that'll take a few days.

[Melindam]

BTW, Audible just announced that Richard Armitage's new book can be pre-ordered.

Cat, pass on my best b'day wishes to him. ;)

[Sammy]

Woo! *off to audible*

[Melindam]

:D

[Sammy]

Um... I hope it's a typo, but audible tells me it won't be released for another year!

[Melindam]

Wow! The posted it today to FB

[Melindam]

LOL, just checked it on audible US and indeed the release date is exactly one year from now on. But you CAN preorder. What a sham.

[Sammy]

He's probably not even written it yet 😂

[Melindam]

Probably not :D

[Judith]

You ladies crack me up. I almost spit out my water when I saw this thread.

Nice pic by the way. hehe!!

[Cat]

Sammy, what did you think of Fledgling?

[Sammy]

I enjoyed it, but not as much as the other Butler books I've read. I also had a little trouble with the ick factor of the MC apparently looking like a pre-teen and getting up to all sorts of naughtiness.

Still, like everything else I've read by her, the ideas are solid :)

[Cat]

Agree! I did like the different take on vampires but there was definite ick!
I think I might like the Lilith's Brood / Xenogenesis series the best. I found the Parable books SUPER hard to read

[Sammy]

Not read parable, but really enjoyed Xenogenesis. Bloodchild and Other Stories was also a better-than-average collection of short stories.

I've read other books by her, but that was a decade or two ago, and I don't remember much of them.

[Sophie, The other one]

I found the books of hers I've read hard going. But that might be because I've only read the parable ones.

[Cat]

The Parable ones are probably the toughest, yes!

Though as al of them touch on Big Topics like racism, slavery, autonomy, they are none of them pure fuzzy feels!

[Cat]

Finished the book for El Duende. Someone want to spin a new monster?

[Melindam]

I can do that. 😊

Should it be an urban legend?

[Melindam]

Well, I got us a Drop Bear.

500 to 650
Read a book set in Australia
Read a book with a surprise twist (your interpretation)
Read a book with a carnivore on the cover (make sure it's not an omnivore!)
Read a book with author initials found in VEGEMITE.

[Cat]

nice :) the page count excepted, obvs!

[Sammy]

My current book doesn't seem to work for anything. will see if any of my "up soon" books have anything useful going on :)

[Melindam]

Cat wrote: "nice :) the page count excepted, obvs!"


I have a book for that page count, may also work for the surprise twist.

Also, if someone has a red cover, my book can be ejected from that spot. 😊

[Sophie, The other one]

I'm home. Sticky and sandy with v tired children. Once we've got stuff sorted I'll look at what I've got coming up.

[Cat]

good camping fun though? tired kids because of all the fun or because they slept for 2 hrs a night?
