I'll settle for distracted by Nana in that case! Been making Easter hats and baskets this afternoon after melting chocolate earlier to put in moulds. I'm exhausted!

Ugh, don't they know to leave you alone!

[Sammy]

I don't envy you all that! Kinda glad my kids have outgrown it all! lol.

Having said that, We're going to be ripping out our kitchen and putting in a new one in a couple of weeks time. was going to be May, but the kitchen place was having a sale and we could get the units delivered next week and save over £700. So we're moving the schedule up!

So the next week or so I'm going to be spending pretty much all my time in the kitchen batch-cooking stuff we can freeze and microwave for our dinner for the two weeks or so we won't have a kitchen. UGH!

[Melindam]

Silence is golden, except when you have kids. In that case, it's just suspicious. :D

Teehee! so very true! we always used to wonder what they were up to when they were quiet 😂

[Melindam]

Sammy, I feel for you.

[Melindam]

I still remember the time 2 years ago when we moved from one space to the next as everything got repainted. yikes

No that's no fun - will be worth it once it is done though.

We're waiting on dates from builders for a loft extension. I'm not looking forward to the chaos but at least I'll still have a kitchen and a bathroom.

[Sammy]

Yeah, when hubby re-did the bathroom a couple of years ago the offspring and I went to stay with my parents for the week 😆

Hope your loft goes ok! I'm really hoping our new place will have one of those too! lol.

Doomsday Book by Connie Willis is brilliant, though heavier than Dog, mostly in that it has plague epidemics going on. Foreground is the relationships forged in adversity.But also broadly more straightforward.
Her Blitz books also excellent!

[Melindam]

I am going to read them all. :))

Book 1 is also included for free in the audible+ catalogue, added already to my library, but will see whether I'll like the narrator or not.

[Melindam]

O'Brian was sent away, and we have

The Master/Missy again

1. 200 to 299
2. Character is a doctor (MD, DVM, PhD etc.)
3. Author initials (all) in MASTER
4. Author or MC is trans or non-binary
5. Tagged Time Travel (10 minimum)

[Melindam]

So, we need 2 time travel books, 1 for Sammy and 1 for Sophie. :)

[Sammy]

Awesome! I can take 2 and 5 😁

[Sammy]

Or swap it out with Sophie's, as hers will also fit both. I probably won't finish mine until Monday, or tomorrow eve at the earliest, so we have plenty of time to move stuff around if needed.

[Sophie, The other one]

Shuffle however needed depending on when we both finish!

[Sammy]

Sent the Weeping angels to the 14th century and spun the wheel for:

Snipe

1 100 to 175
2 bird on cover
3 MC is looking for something/someone
4 "fool's errand" or "wild-goose chase" in text
5 Goodreads rating < 3.6


And I just so happen to be starting one with a bird on the cover 😁

[Sammy]

also the whole plot is someone looking for someone!

[Melindam]

For once, I can take the low page count. Will finish one after the UNO countdown.

[Melindam]

And in case you didn't know until now that I am terrible at maths: for task 5 does GR rating need to be below 3.6?

[Sonia]

Yes.

We have a couple of handy tricks. One of them being the "open part" is always on the higher number side.

[Melindam]

Thank you, I keep losing this one. 😅

[Melindam]

I found 1 book for fool's errand, but it's a 600+ pager, so if someone finds a quicker read, just delete mine.

[Sonia]

No problem. I claimed the between 200 and 299 page count with my current book, BUT, I remember that one of the Four Bears Constructions books features a trans MC, and it's 236 pages. So, I'm going to tackle that one first, since Emrys and Julius are annoying me at the moment and I need to take a break.

I love Michele Notaro, but she tends to get a little heavy on the angsty part.

[Sonia]

@Cat: you know that 3.88 is higher than 3.6, right?

[Cat]

I do. did I misread the task??

yup! in my defence: I was tired!

[Cat]

can we use one that is exactly 3.6?

[Melindam]

I'd say yes :)

[Sonia]

Sure.

[Sammy]

I bumped your wild goose chase book Mel. To Say Nothing of the Dog covers that one, and I just finished it. 😁

[Sammy]

Which takes care of the Snipe.
Next up:

Zygons

1 200 to 299
2 Read a military romance or MPG Military or War
3 Letters UNIT in title
4 3 in publishing date
5 Set in Arizona or a state/country that touches Arizona (Mexico, New Mexico, California, Nevada,Utah)

[Sammy]

Typically I read about half a dozen books with MPG war last month...

[Cat]

oooh! oooh! I might have War MPG on the go! brb

ETA: nope. Military, but not War :(

EETA: doh! Military works! all good!

[Sammy]

Awesome!

[Melindam]

Good for the wild-goose chase, Sammy.

Currently listening to The Reluctant Widow that works for UNIT in title

[Melindam]

Widow also works for page count

[Sonia]

My The Witch's Blood was published in September 30, 2019, so, I'm stealing #4

ETA: and #1 since it's 294 pages

[Sophie, The other one]

The Hounds have returned to Baskervilles.

The Harpies are singing instead

100 to 125
features a feast or banquet
contains a chase (car chase, foot chase, etc)
character is royalty
features a thief

[Sophie, The other one]

My current audio can cover feast and royalty but will take a week to finish so if other people want to jump in they can.

[Sammy]

My current has royalty and chase, not sure about the rest yet

[Cat]

Finished off Zygons, and spun us.....

HOT PROF!!!!

Hot Prof (Dino Island)
1 100 to 175
2 takes place at a college/university
3 rock on cover
4 "dinosaur" in text
5 MC cries a lot

[Sammy]

*swoons*

[Sammy]

Of course I finished a school one yesterday... *sigh*

[Melindam]

Oh, is it the first time, we have the Hot Prof? :)

[Melindam]

I will finish my book for the Dr Who task by tomorrow and then will see if I can find sth.

[Melindam]

Filled the 2 short-pages-spots, but they are up for grabs with usual who-is-quicker proviso. :) My kindle tells me that one of them has the word dinosaur, but when I search for the actual page, it says the book hasn't been indexed yet. So I'll only find out once I start reading.

[Sophie, The other one]

Yay for Hot Prof's eventual arrival!

My spin seems to have been listening to the Next Challenge thread.


“Black” Jack Randall (Outlander)
1 651+
2 A character is abusive
3 MPG Historical Fiction
4 "plaid" in text
5 Black cover

[Melindam]

Dang, one of my next books is 641 pages :(

[Sammy]

The wheel always knows...

nothing 600+ lined up for this week. I'll be finishing a 500 tonight or tomorrow morning, but that's not as helpful, lol.

[Melindam]

Hot Prof has been transported to another Dino Island,

Hello Mr Big and Carrie Bradshaw:

1. 500 to 650
2. MC is a journalist
3. takes place in New York City
4. MC is selfish (your interpretation)
5. core friend group central to story

[Melindam]

With A Court of Mist and Fury I could cover

page count, selfish MC (definitely MY interpretation, all those bunch of Faes including MC are selfish as hell -why is the word even have to be written with capital F?! ;)- and core friend group, but if you are near finishing anything that's fitting, just feel free, to remove my spots. :)
