Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments Bye bye vampire Pumpkins. Instead we got:

Gingerbread Man

1 100 to 175
2 An ingredient in title (food items)
3 Three (or more) "R"s in title
4 Set in the 1500s or 1600s or similar fantasy period
5 Tagged (Cozy) 10 or more times

Yay!

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments I have an upcoming one with 3 Rs


message 1862: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 8381 comments Ah, finally Sonia got her Gingerman. 🤭


message 1863: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 8381 comments Got a book with a car on cover, but I don't think I'll be able to start before 15 May (it may well even be a week after that), so I'm leaving it unclaimed. If we don't find anything until then, I can claim it later. :)


message 1864: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments I still have half a dozen books to get through before they disappear from plus on the 15th, and none of those have cars 😆


message 1865: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 8381 comments It's Steinbeck's "Travels with Charley". :) There is an audiobook edition as well with a car on cover, but it's not included in Plus on the US site.


message 1866: by Dominomaj (new)

Dominomaj | 42 comments I can read the Hungarian edition of Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman for task "ingredient in title".


message 1867: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments that works! 😁

Melindam | 8381 comments I didn't even remember that I bought this book for Domi, though, in my defense, it was a few years ago. (I was optimistic that he'd like it.)

It was he, who told me as we were checking unclaimed tasks that this would work. 😊


message 1870: by Melindam (last edited May 13, 2024 12:12AM) (new)

Melindam | 8381 comments Found a book My Brother Michael by Mary Stewart that works both for "car on cover" and "1950s setting", but will only start after 15 May. 😊

Melindam | 8381 comments I created a sheet to collect possible tasks for Discworld Monsters and shared it with you all. :)

Shared it with Lexi and Jenny as well. :)


message 1875: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments Awesome! Had to add a task 😆😉

Melindam | 8381 comments I hoped you would. 😉

Melindam | 8381 comments Also feel free to change/adjust the ones I added. 😊

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments Added a few more, but have to go get stuff for dinner.

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments Did you start your new job yet Sophie? How is it going?

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments Did a few more, but having some internet issues. Back later 😁

Melindam | 8381 comments Thanks, Sammy. :)))

Melindam | 8381 comments For Dragon King of Arms: would "coat of arms/heraldry on cover" be too difficult?

I feel like probably isn't that much worse than some of the other tasks that get thrown into challenges.

I remember that phase. Exhausting, but oddly exhilarating too in a way.

But mostly exhausting 😆

You'll figure everything out in no time. at least the people are friendly, which is the important thing!

Glad it's not just me who starts a job with this phase! Making a lot of lists so my brain has to do minimal work to remember processes for now.

Sophie (drsophie) | 5692 comments Mod
Will see what books I've got for the monsters on the go. Have 4 things to try and finish before Book Games starts which is looking overly optimistic ATM.


message 1892: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments Doesn't the challenge starting tomorrow?

I'm not playing but I could swear the 15th ringed a bell.


message 1893: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 8381 comments Yes, tomorrow at 9.00 am UTC. :)

Sophie (drsophie) | 5692 comments Mod
Yeah... It's not looking great. Blame the new job keeping me busy. Or I can blame challenge admin...


message 1895: by Sonia (new)

Sonia (darktalynn) | 11599 comments I blame final fantasy 7 rebirth... because when I think on reading.. brain tells me it rather be playing. So that's what I do. LOL


message 1896: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments So I didn't want to start another book this evening that I might not finish before the Games begin, so I decided to watch Tom Hiddleston play Hank Williams in I Saw the Light instead.

Seriously... All that and he can sing? How is that fair to the men that are not Tom Hiddleston?

Just sayin'...


message 1897: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 8381 comments And he can also dance (? -recalling that ad with the lucky flight attendant ladies ;).
Totally NOT fair. :D


message 1898: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 8381 comments I am modifying the tasks for DW Wheel Lexi suggested as too limiting, as there are quite a few people who do the wheels individually. :)

I added a few page counts as well, but further insights on that are welcome. :))
