Door important to plot

[Sonia]

And I think I'm putting on some shoes and hit Aldi. Because I need me some chocolate after that spin

[Sammy]

Dang! I read Coraline recently.

Also, yes please on the chocolate.

[Cat]

OK! that's black text only on cover, right? if so, I'll read it for this and UNO (30k words, so it works)


ETA: doesn't work for the page count task and I'm not sure I can actually see any buttons on the cover, but covers the other three....

is IS black text, right?!

[Sammy]

I think so. And it covers tasks 3-5, unless anyone can see any buttons too? (Can't tell what she's holding in her hand)

[Sammy]

It seems to be, but I've lowered the brightness on my monitor right now because migraine, so don't take my word for it, lol.

[Cat]

booo for migraines :( hope it eases soon

[Sonia]

it is black text
Actually no. It's dark purple

I zoomed it on my second screen to see if that thing in her jacket was a button

[Sammy]

Cat wrote: "booo for migraines :( hope it eases soon"

Thanks. So far it's not a terrible one, so fingers crossed it stays that way.

[Melindam]

Sammy, fingers crossed, that nasty thing is keeping away from you. xx

[Sophie, The other one]

Yes to the chocolate please!

Boo no to the migraine

[Sammy]

Hey, it's not all bad. When I have a migraine, I eat chocolate. Because chocolate gives me migraines, so I figure if I have one anyway, it doesn't matter 😆

[Sonia]

One of my triggers is the lack of coffee... or caffeine, I should say.

When my nespresso machine broke, I got this crazy impulsive idea to buy one from my usual supermarket. It was cheaper, and I preferred their coffee anyway. The coffee is quite good, but, since my car broke down, is not that easy to go there shopping. Yes, they deliver, but my order only arrives today.

I ran out of coffee on thursday. I didn't think it a big deal, just go outside to a café, right? Well... kinda. Since I totally forgot both cafés nearby close on sunday.

I did had decaff. It worked somehow on the cravings... however... around 5 PM, my brain decided it was tired of waiting for real caffeine and it was time I paid the price for my dumbness. Oh well.. I had coffee outside this morning. And took enough brufen to knock an elephant (not really, just the regular dose), I sure hope things get back to normal soon. Because looking at two computer screens hurts. Heck. Being in a sitting position hurts.

[Melindam]

Ouch.... you have my full sympathy, Sonia, though not much help, I know. :)

Normally I only take 1 coffee/day b/c of blood pressure, but when things are really bad, I need caffeine + sugar in the form of the loved/hated coke. (b/c sugar is also bad in such doses... DUH)

[Sonia]

Well, the combo worked. And although I'm still a little sore, I no longer feel like have needles in my eyes when looking at screens or trying to think.

I only take 1 a day too for the same reason. And then have decaff when/if I need the "coffee break effect" during the day.

[Sammy]

I weaned myself off caffeine a little over a year ago (no choice, it was setting off my gallbladder very badly), and decided it wouldn't be very smart to start drinking it again, so I haven't.

It was hell for several weeks at the time though. My head hurt so bad I couldn't see straight. 😫

[Melindam]

:(

[Sammy]

I also saw off the squirrel, so we are now up against:

President Snow (The Hunger Games)

1 200 to 299
2 MPG Dystopian
3 Flower on cover
4 Book is a fraction is a series (0.5, 3.5 etc)
5 White cover

[Sammy]

All the hugs for Sonia. I literally feel your pain 😉

[Sonia]

Oooohhhh is on KU. And it is a white cover AND 272 pages....

[Melindam]

I am making very good progress with my 650+ book, but I want it to count for the March UNO, so will only finish on Friday after the countdown. :)

[Sammy]

Sounds good to me 😁

[Cat]

I've picked up a shorty to cover the last of the Other Mother tasks :)

[Cat]

Finished off the Other Mother!

And spun

Carrionites
1 350 to 450
2 Featuring witches or witchcraft
3 Where the MC does something for the first time
4 Something flying on cover
5 Tagged POC (at least 10 times)

[Sammy]

I'm just about to finish a 416 pager

[Cat]

Nice timing!

[Sammy]

ARGH! Is anyone else suddenly getting huge banner ads at the top of their book pages? That's going to get really old very quickly...

[Sonia]

And it's not static. Meh.

[Sonia]

Btw, I wanted an excuse to read and it features witches.

Also, punching their v-card counts as doing something for the first time, riight? *giggles*

Scratch that, it's a spin-off. Oh well, also has witches.

Aaand, it was such a compelling (though very difficult read) that just could not hold back on it, so I finished this morning and spinning another new monster. :)

[Melindam]

I got us She-Lob

1. 350-400
2. Giant creature in book
3. Book from list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/3... (series sub ok)
4. Page number is a multiple of 8
5. All author initials in SHELOB

[Melindam]

I have had Tooth and Claw on my TBR for a long time, so I am going to claim tasks 2 and 3, oh and the default edition also works for 4.

[Melindam]

Sammy,

I have put your Asperger's Book to the same page count task under a different monster (David McCall), as I have a book that works for both page count and POC tag under Carrionites. 😊

[Sammy]

No problem 😁

[Sonia]

This week needs to die a sudden death

Yes, I know is mainly my fault because I procrastinate till I cannot longer do it and then have to put the work in the shortest amount of time possible.

But really, I need to reset.

[Melindam]

Hope the day'll end soon and you can enjoy the weekend.

Hugs.

[Sonia]

considering the amount of things I have on my plate... LOL

But I am so freaking tired. I even have dark circles. I NEVER have those

Feeling any better, Sonia? 😶‍🌫️

[Sammy]

Sending all the hugs!

[Sammy]

Darn it! I was hoping the book I just started would work for the high school age thing, but he's 12, not 14 (although in the UK kids start high school at 12! lol).

[Melindam]

Depite asking for recs, I can't say I feel an irresistible urge to read any of those books for possible amusement park task.

I think I'll just leave that one to chance. :)

well... I slept for 14 hours yesterday (not straight)

Still a little groggy but ready to take on the week.

[Sammy]

Sleep is a good start!

[Sonia]

I also managed to finish a book that it wasn't a re-read. Wooohooo.

[Sammy]

You're on a roll!

I have just finished a re-read, and have several more lined up for the next week or so. I only feel a little guilty about not making a dent in my tbr, as I have read a ton from it already this year 😁

[Melindam]

I am also doing some rereads now, but will try and knock off 2 or 3 more TBR-books this month. :)

[Sonia]

So, I think I'm giving up on Fish Out of Water. It's... not what I want to read now.

And I remembered that my edition of Trust is the first one. And I used to hate the cover. Hence why I switch for every challenge. But the one I have is this one:

. So I'm using that one for the white cover task.

[Edit] The page count it's my usual range, so, it's easy to get :D Sophie's book was in the range, I replaced mine for hers.

[Sonia]

I haz a question. If the book is a author collaboration, do we need to use both authors' initials, or just the main one?

Because when you look at the series page, only one author appears.

I'd say go with that one author only. :)
