I have nothing. I've been sucked into Michele Notaro's world, and I doubt I'll be leaving it before there's nothing more to read. (Only 3 books left in that universe, so I might get depressed after it)

But, if you need a book where a character is seriously hurt, or tortured/abused/hunted/killed/etc, I'm there for you.

Seriously. Does she hate her characters that much? Jeez. My heart hurts, and I've been crying every single book since book #2 on the Elwood chronicles. Well... not the new kids one. That one was cute.

I guess now I don't have any excuses for not reading The Magi accounts. Although in there the evil beings are the humans, not the monsters. Hence them being so hard to read.

[Melindam]

No worries, and they sound like they would fit lots of uno mini tasks. :)

[Sonia]

Well, last mini their titles were a blast.

[EDIT]: Funny you think I have the self control to wait 3 days for the UNO mini... LOL

[Melindam]

😅

[Sophie, The other one]

3 days to wait to finish anything isn't going to work!

Looks like a good mix of tasks though

[Melindam]

And, some really happy news for this morning as this lay heavily on all our minds in the last weeks, the official biopsy results after my mum's operation came in and they are negative!!

So relieved.

[Cat]

oh that's such good news Mel!

big hugs and cheers! :)

[Melindam]

❤️❤️❤️

[Sophie, The other one]

Incredible news! So glad to hear that and hope she is recovering well.

[Sammy]

Fantastic news Mel! So glad to hear that. Must be an enormous relief. *hugs*

[Melindam]

Hugs to You All, too.

I'll need some time to fully grasp it, but I am getting there.

❤️❤️❤️

[Melindam]

Domi asked me to let you know that he'll be finishing his book in 2 or 3 days and then he can spin for a new monster (he's very excited about that part ;) .

[Sonia]

Awwww, I bet he is. :)

[Sammy]

It's the best part! 😁

[Sonia]

I finally started my "deep" book. I need a break from the Ellwoods :o)

[Sammy]

Awesome :)

None of my current books are of any use. Between UNO and the egg hunt I'm doing at Hooked on Books, I don't have a lot of wiggle room left when choosing books right now, lol.

[Sonia]

I also am 40% in an anthology that's 680+ pages.... but it might take me a while, so I won't claim that task until I'm at the last short story :D

[Dominomaj]

Hello, I finished my book.

I will spin the wheel. 😀

[Dominomaj]

JABBERWOCK

1. 175-225
2. SLITHY or TOVES in author name (any order)
3. Word with 10 or more letters in title
4. """gyre"" in text"
5. book contains made up words/ terminology (not another language)

[Dominomaj]

I can take tasks 1 & 3. I am reading Kiki, a boszorkányfutár

[Sammy]

Thanks Domi! You got us a fun one.

[Melindam]

Well... you can put it like that. :D

[Melindam]

I wonder if we are allowed to use the Hungarian translation of gyre, b/c I am sure it turns up in Kiki. (giggles)

[Sammy]

I can't see why not? 😁

[Sammy]

I can read Wish Upon A Star for task 2, but I probably won't get to it for a week or so

[Melindam]

"Sammies" works as made up terminology/word in Discworld, right?

😍🤭

[Cat]

as affectionate nickname for the police? yup! :)

The lilacs in our garden are already in full bloom.

[Melindam]

3. New book after a long break from the author (your interpretation)
4. Title starts with a letter in ECCLESTON claimed by Sammy

-------------------------

also, unclaimed tasks (no push, just for an overview)

- 651+ pages
- Black cover
- takes place in New York City
- SLITHY or TOVES in author name (any order) claimed by Sammy

[Sonia]

Meh, I just spend 10 minutes trying to decide in which mini tasks to put my just finished book - it fitted a bunch, so now I'm stuck into just one here... I'll add it to the page count, since it's just 212 pages.

[Sammy]

If it hadn't been the only book in my tbr that fit the SLITHY or TOVES task, I'd have DNFed the book I was reading for that.

I really need to stop believing Audible reviews when grabbing books from there. They lie ALL THE TIME. *sigh*

[Melindam]

Sorry to hear it Sammy.

[Melindam]

If it is the book you described in the Jareth thread, it sounds atrocious.

[Sammy]

Yep. And then the exact same thing happens to the MC with her ex. *eyeroll*

[Melindam]

I remember reading one book by this author and hating it.

[Melindam]

Oh and I dnf-ed it.

[Sammy]

One for the "avoid" list, methinks! lol.

[Cat]

Boooo. But thanks for taking it for the team!

I'm reading a 651+ book , the Emily Wilson translation of the Iliad

[Sammy]

Nice! Lemme know if it's a good one. I'm not as much of a fan of that one as I am of the Odyssey, but I've often wondered if that might in part have been down to a rubbish translation.

Oh that's a great book. I enjoyed the audio for it.

[Sophie, The other one]

I've got set in New York covered with In Five Years which has not been what I expected, but in a positive way.

I remember feeling that way about it too!

[Melindam]

I was just perusing my Audible.com Wishlist and saw that Children of Ash and Elm: A History of the Vikings and A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking are currently included in the Audible Plus catalogue, so they are happily added to my Library.

[Sonia]

I wasn't in the mood for cozy mystery, specially with meddling elders... but meh, it is done. And it also works for UNO. So.....

!!!!!Balrog was slayed!!!!

But I'm at the client today and cannot spin the wheel.

Can someone do it for me, pretty please?

[Melindam]

Will do. :)

[Melindam]
