Best part about that was the 50% staff discount on days we weren't working. Happy hour was exceedingly happy 😆"

So you'd like another Vegi-Might Monster? 🤭

[Sonia]

Ginger bread man! Ginger bread man! Ginger bread man!

[Sammy]

I'm starving, so yes! never mind reading for the monster, I'll just eat it! 😆

[Melindam]

:D

[Sammy]

ohhhh, my current book has mannequins! I'll add it to the SS tomorrow when I'm not on my phone

[Cat]

Oh! I just found a mannequin at the end of my book, just finished it. Like buses, eh?

I'm on my phone though, so will respin (unless Domi gets there first!) tomorrow

[Melindam]

Just do it, Cat! :)

Domi won't finish until this evening or it may be tomorrow morning only as there has been some reshuffling in our w/e programme.

I also realised that his purple book will work for teacher MC as well.

[Melindam]

Funnily enough my Cocktail Parlor book is also a social commentary on how women's roles evolved outside the home and it features the suffrage movement as well as women's rights to work.

I don't know if can be considered "central to plot", but it most certainly is an important part of the book as a whole.

Would that be good enough for the Bamboo Tree or am I stretching it (again)? :)

(I am reading it anyway b/c of the green cover.)

[Cat]

Mel, that works for me!

Spun a Dr Who:

The Thames Ice Snake

2 Set in London or one of its sister cities (http://en.sistercity.info/sister-citi...)
3 Author initials (all) in THAMES
4 Antagonist not who it first appears (your interpretation)
5 Water on the cover

[Melindam]

Thanks, Cat.

Sophie, if you are OK with it too, I can put my cocktail book for that spot. Think I'll finish by Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

[Sophie, The other one]

I'm good with that! Or at least until Lexi turns up and says it wasn't the plan.

[Sammy]

Definitely like buses, because my kindle book also had mannequins in it! lol.

[Sammy]

I got task 4. 😁

[Dominomaj]

Finished the Jabberwock. New monster

Hungry Grass

1. 100 to 175
2. MC mentions being hungry or finding food is important to the plot
3. Title starts with letter in GRASS
4. Someone finds a corpse
5. Tagged Fae (at least 10 times)

[Melindam]

I can claim tagged Fae with , but I want the book to count for Book Games, so will only start after 15 May. If you finish sth sooner, just kick it out. :)

[Melindam]

New Spin, another Vegi-Might monster, it is our 150th, so "Yaay Us, Slay (are) Us!" 🥳

I've got the page count and night scene :)

[Sonia]

I got one of the 100s page count interval books. I "might" have more for the other one... but since I have a couple of busy days ahead, I'll let it open for now.

[Sophie, The other one]

I'm planning to find a novella to finish of my UNO reading, so I can almost certainly cover one of the short page count slots.

[Melindam]

RA will "narrate" :))

[Sammy]

Nice! 😁

[Cat]

Was chatting to work friend about RA (via the very silly fun TV show he's just done Red Eye). she was waxing lyrical so I had to be stern and tell her hands off! Happily for everyone she deems his sexuality to be too big of a hurdle for her to lay claim :D and we obvs then went on to drool over memories of him in North and South and of course in leather in Robin Hood...

Must pick up Geneva and listen to that soon!

[Melindam]

Obviously you had to tell her to back down! Giggles.

[Melindam]

And yes, the North and South mini series was unforgettable. I still remember when the DVD got delivered from Amazon and I just watched with my mouth hanging open. :) Those were the days....

[Sammy]

First time I watched North and South, I finished watching and went right back to the beginning to start again. I was very late to bed that night 😆

[Melindam]

Giggles, for some reason, I felt also compelled to rewatch all the scenes with RA. ;)

[Sammy]

I kid you not. The first thing I do if I win the Euromillions is contact him and pay him to narrate the book! 😁

[Melindam]

Yussss!

[Sonia]

And here I was thinking it was to book a meet Sonia trip...

*sad face*

Yeah, Yeah, I know.. he has a sexy voice...

*sad fa..."

That too! In fact, I do believe we'd made plans for a Team Lust book cruise if one of us won, if I recall correctly. 😁

[Sophie, The other one]

Are you allowing additions to team Lust to tag along, if they promise to contribute to the same if they were to win.

[Melindam]

One more tagger-alonger, please. Buying a lottery ticket today. ;)

[Sonia]

Have you seen the size of those ships? I think tag-alongs won't be a problem

[Sammy]

The more the nerdier merrier! 😁

[Sonia]

I full expect the same service we had on the team lust trip though, Sammy was such a good event planner, she sure knew how to keep us motivated and happy.

[Sammy]

All I'm saying is... you'll want to visit district 1 once the games begin 😉

[Melindam]

Sammy wrote: "All I'm saying is... you'll want to visit district 1 once the games begin 😉"

OBVIOUSLY! ALL THE LUXURY GO(O)Ds will be there, methinks. 🤭

But I am very happy about being in the Tree District, despite not being a Lumberjane! 🥰

[Melindam]

Monster Hunters,

I added Sophie's short book to Thames Ice Snake (as I was snooping around UNO threads, I know she finished, just too busy with Districting) and moved Sonia's shortie to Hungry Grass. That means that Ice Snake is finished.

Spun a Literary Monster

The Yellow King (True Detective)
1. 200 to 299
2. Yellow cover
3. tree on cover
4. MPG mystery
5. contains a complicated work relationship (your interpretation)

[Sonia]

So, either a tree monster or a tree object. I see a pattern here.

[Melindam]

[Melindam]

Well, Sammy, obviously, I'll participate in your Thirst Games 🤭🥳🍸, even if I cannot send sponsors gifts.

Brilliant Idea. Love it. 🥰

[Sammy]

Glad you're coming to play! (a certain mr. A and a certain mr. H will most definitely make an appearance at some stage)

I'd open up sponsor gifts to all districts, but I'd actually like to have time to read occasionally, and keeping track of who has used what for potentially many people... Nope! lol.

[Melindam]

That's what I was hoping for. 😉😊

Absolutely understandable. But please don't pretend that this isn't a dirty tactic to prevent other teams from reading by making them gawk at your pics instead, LOL.

[Sammy]

All part of the master plan, as always! 😆

[Melindam]

Love Cat's AI sheep with the curly fleece and the golden horns, btw. 😊

When we were discussing teams I was "nah, not bothered, randomise me" Then Karen did the images and there was squealing and demanding of sheeps!

[Sammy]

The team images are all pretty gorgeous actually!

[Melindam]

Yes, Karen's AI-genius-touch is very visible. I get the squealing. ♡

[Melindam]

I guess you'll not be surprised to learn that Domi likes District 6 the most, with its awesome transport pic. :D
