Mostly I don't like them either. ;)

[Cat]

I finished Bullet Train, but not near a laptop for easy respin, if someone else wants to do the honours

Started , which I think is red cover?

[Melindam]

Red for sure :)

Bergmonch

1. 200 to 299
2. Mountains on cover
3. Stubborn MC (your interpretation)
4. "pit" in text
5. Tagged Short (at least 10 times)

[Melindam]

Sammy,

Just sayin' that should you decide to read Legends & Lattes b/c of horns, it's also tagged short 16x. :)

[Sammy]

awesome. I'm just listening to Faust right now, and the titular character is definitely stubborn. I feel "pit" is also likely to pop up... Will check when I am at my computer

[Sophie, The other one]

I've just finished Salt and Broom this morning which works for the page count and stubborn. Unfortunately no mountains or pit and while it felt short to me, no one else seems to have tagged it that way.

[Sophie, The other one]

Happy birthday Sonia!

[Sammy]

Surprisingly, no pits in Faust as far as I can tell. It certainly isn't short either 😆

[Melindam]

No "pit" in Starling House or the other book that shall not even be named (Idaho setting). :D

[Sammy]

Ohh, I have a pit in my Idaho book! 😁

[Melindam]

I am reading my DQ part of Starling House and I find I am enjoying it more than the start. Hope it will keep up. :)

[Cat]

How bad was that Idaho book, Mel??

[Sammy]

My current thinking is, everyone loved 10 thousand doors and I hated it, so if everyone hates this one, maybe I'll love it... 😆

I'll make myself pick it up once I've finished my current print book, which will likely be tomorrow.

[Sammy]

I'm reading Pines for Idaho, which I'm loving!

[Melindam]

:D

I hated it, b/c of one f my pet peeves: forced romcom with the characters getting from one cringey situ into the next surrounded by their endless monologue. But it was only 158 pages and a kindle freebie, so .... I survived.

[Cat]

and a new one:

George & Martha (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf)
1 200 to 299
2 MC is married
3 character name is also a type of animal (first, last, nickname)
4 tagged 'classic' at least 10 times
5 made into movie or TV show

[Melindam]

Sammy,

From tomorrow, I am fine now to start on Love in the Time of Cholera. :)

[Sammy]

Awesome!

I'll squeeze in one more before then. do we have a thread yet, or do we need to set one up?

[Melindam]

We need to set one up, but I can do it, if our Mods are OK with that. ;)

[Sammy]

Awesome. could you drop the link onto our team thread when you do? Jenny, Angie and Keli are all reading it too. 😁

[Melindam]

Sure :)

[Melindam]

"character name is also a type of animal"

Starling House, as a "sentient" being and a kind of character.. can it work for the task?

If not, then I have The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society coming up soon which seems to have a character called Charles Lamb (??)

[Cat]

if you are happy to defend the sentient house as a character, not going to argue!

[Sammy]

There's a character named Arthur Starling too, according to the blurb?

[Melindam]

Sammy wrote: "There's a character named Arthur Starling too, according to the blurb?"

Facepalm... yes.. of course.. all wardens of the house are get to called Starling... stoopid Mel

[Sammy]

Found a short "deep" book in the plus catalogue i can squeeze in for that task, and my current book has mountains on the cover.

[Melindam]

Yaay

[Melindam]

Sammy,

I have added the read date for your GGM book, but leave spinning to you. 😊

[Sammy]

Thanks Mel! was just finishing something up, and will go do so now 😁

[Sammy]

Chasing that Chupacabra, but failed to catch it ☹️

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

[Melindam]

My GGM works for bird on cover, maybe looking for something/one too.

[Melindam]

The upcoming BackRoom BOM book has wild-goose chase in text, so I am claiming that one as well. :)

[Cat]

the BOMs and our wheel spins have been surprisingly cooperative lately :)

🤭 We are allowed to be lucky and in-synch sometimes.

Shhhhh! don't say that too loudly, the wheel gods will hear you!

[Sammy]

I've got one that works for short. have some that will work for the low rating task too, but will be a few days before I get to it.

[Melindam]

We've got time. ;)

[Sammy]

That we do. None of them work for the mini, hence the wait 😆

The short one does, so will be cranking that one out this evening.

[Sonia]

Sophie wrote: "Happy birthday Sonia!"

Thanks.

Sorry. It has been kind of a busy week. I managed to vote on the thirst games... and that's it.

[Sammy]

At least you have your priorities right 😉

[Sophie, The other one]

If we could create at least 2 hours more in the day for gr and reading that would be ideal.

[Sammy]

Yes please!

I spent most of today wiring up a couple of control panels for hubby. It's mindless work and I would normally be able to listen to an audio book while I worked, but today he was working on something else right beside me, and apparently having my headphones on instead of interacting with him would have been "rude". I mean really! 😆

[Melindam]

Family members expecting you to listen to them instead of your audiobooks are sooo inconsiderate. (giggles)

[Sammy]

Definitely! 😆

[Sophie, The other one]

Personally I'm of the opinion that it is ruder that he stopped you reading/listening.

[Sammy]

See, that's what I thought! 😆

[Sammy]

ladies, you're up!

Bergmonch begone!

Albert and Celie (The Color Purple)

1 200 to 299
2 color word in title
3 epistolary novel
4 made into a movie or TV show
5 on a banned book list

[Sonia]

I had to google what the heck is an epistolary novel... And the only one I know of is Bram Stoker's Dracula... and I already read it twice. That's enough for a lifetime!
