I think that's tooooo stretchy, sorry!

[Sophie, The other one]

In a shock to the normal world order, I'd say too much of a stretch.

[Melindam]

Finished my Lisbon-City book and spinning now

[Melindam]

Got Maur (Hero and the Crown)

1. 250-300
2. Skull on cover
3. MC is immortal
4. tagged "heroine" (5 or more times)
5. Four letter title

[Sammy]

No problem. Just means I'm of no help there, lol. All my detectives are too modern.

[Sophie, The other one]

I've been meaning to read more Agatha Christie so can definitely take it

Until quite recently I would have said the Queen qualified for task #3 😆

Anyone have a book about Jeff Goldblum?

[Sammy]

I never even thought of AC! 😂

[Sammy]

Grabbed the 4-letter title :)

[Melindam]

Hooray. :)

[Sonia]

finished with for trees on cover.

[Sonia]

And I'll probably finish #2 today, if I manage to finish submitting my reports

[Melindam]

Sorry for stalling with the mythology book, but I'm waiting till UNO starts tomorrow. Will finish it in a few hours afterwards and then we can have another new monster.

[Sammy]

No problem. I'd put The Vegetarian aside for another book too, but have returned to it now and hope to finish it tomorrow so I can get on with UNO books 😁

[Sonia]

That's the reason why I didn't start a book yesterday and went and played kingdom hearts instead :D

[Sonia]

By the way, Drop Bear is no more!!!

Any preferences for the new spin?

[Melindam]

Up to you, Sonia! 😊

[Sonia]

By the way, is it me, or Maur isn't on the ss?

I'll add it, since I'm at it.

[Melindam]

It is on a new tab, a new one is created after we have done away with 50 monsters. :)

[Sonia]

I was in the mood for human monsters... so we got

Joffrey (Game of Thrones)
1 500 to 650
2 MC is royalty
3 Title starts with a letter in CROWN
4 Gold item on cover
5 More than one death in the book

(Anyone has poison handy?)

lol

I can take gold item on cover and presumably also works for more than 1 death.

[Sammy]

Grabbed the C(rown) title task for starters. Will see what else I have coming up :)

[Melindam]

In 30 min I'll be done with Norse Mythology.

Of course I cannot help picturing Tom and Chris in my head. 🤭

[Cat]

I've got a Jess book. the "character" is the author - it's a polemic type thing but with lots of personal experience, so I think it works as a memoir-adjacent book

[Sammy]

I tend to picture them in my head whether I'm reading mythology or not 😆

Especially since I'm in the middle of re-watching The Night Manager and last night I watched episode 4... *drools*

[Melindam]

Next monster: KAPPA

1. 350 to 450
2. MPG Children's
3. Green cover (>50%)
4. Cucumber in text
5. Strong MC

[Sammy]

I just grabbed the page count and green cover. Possibility of strong MC also, but won't know until I start reading, I guess.

[Sonia]

I'm grabbing skull on cover with .

Easy Does It only releases tomorrow and I have to read something before falling asleep, right?

[Sammy]

Sonia wrote: "I'm grabbing skull on cover with .

Definitely! 😆

[Sammy]

I grabbed the first 2 Joffrey tasks too...

*sigh*

Jenny has never had a miss with a rec for me yet, but I'm just wondering whether she was leading me into a false sense of security, just to make the result more spectacular when she does, lol.

[Melindam]

Sammy, Orphan X is a strong character, right?

Will start that audiobook tomorrow.

[Sammy]

Definitely!

[Melindam]

🤗

[Melindam]

Admittedly, dystopia is not my go-to genre, but I have to give a shout of appreciation to Andrew Caldecott.

Last year I got and ARC for his Momenticon which was weird yet fascinating. Now I have the ARC for book 2, Simul: Momenticon, Book 2 and once again, I am hooked.

[Melindam]

Put Orphan X for strong MC, but it can be kicked out, if someone finishes a book that fits quicker. :)

Cat, let me know how do you like Truth to Power: 7 Ways to Call Time on B.S..

[Cat]

It's not strictly her memoir (which I'd hunt down on the basis of this writing), but it's interesting, and would be very useful for anyone actually planning a campaign.

[Cat]

finished it.

spun an Urban Legend:

Bloody Mary
1 350 to 450
2 Repeated/reflected object on cover
3 Red cover (>50%)
4 Dark or variant in title or series name
5 13 in publication date or page number

[Melindam]

Grabbed "Dark or variant in title or series name" as I'll be listening to Dark Emu recommended by Karen.

[Sammy]

First 2 tasks work for the book I just finished 😁

[Sammy]

Hah! Of course my current book has a 'Jessica' in it, now we don't need it any more 😂

It's also tagged "strong heroine" and "rich heroine", but just "heroine"? Of course not.

[Melindam]

All these taggers.... they have no respect for the plight of challengers. ;)

[Sammy]

They really don't!

Rude.

[Melindam]

Has someone read The Ten Thousand Doors of January? Is there a character that could be considered immortal?

[Sammy]

I don't remember immortality being a thing, but it has been a few years...

[Melindam]

Thanks, Sammy. :)

[Melindam]

Just started Orphan X, Sammy. :)

You know, it strongly reminds me of the 90s TV series, The Pretender. It was when I still had the time to watch TV and I adored that series. It also frustrated me like hell that it never got properly concluded.

[Sammy]

I hope you're enjoying it! :D

[Melindam]

Aaarrghhh, it's addictive as hell!! :D
