Would we count My Darling Daughter as alliterative, or do we need all words?

[Sophie, The other one]

As an alternative I'm planning to read The Thief Taker soon

[Sammy]

That works!

[Cat]

oh Sammy, a while ago you were asking about books with sports theme, yes? anyway, I just read Indian Horse which foregrounds ice hockey against a Candian First Nation's life. Not an easy read, but I enjoyed it a lot. and the ice hockey was portrayed really well I thought

[Melindam]

Iron man is gone. We have

Triffid
1. 200 to 299
2. Plot involves something that usually doesn't move, like a plant or castle
3. Three of something on cover
4. "decompose" in text
5. Blind or disabled MC or author

Ohhh, thanks Cat, adding it my list of stuff to look out for!

[Cat]

Does Peeta count as an MC? Cos if so he'd work for disabled

[Sammy]

If we stress the difference between MC and POV character, I'd say definitely! He has a lot of "page time", and is essential to the storyline.

[Sammy]

Ladies, may I draw your attention to the guy in the suit?

[Melindam]

Peeta is definitely an MC. :)

Already got your back on that one. And went down a YouTube worm hole of videos of him.

[Melindam]

Wish I could give sponsor points to him. ♡ :))

The Youtube black hole is a real thing!! Hubby and I have a rule. No youtube after 8pm, or we'll end up staying up waaaaayyyyy too late 😆

[Sammy]

Nooooooo! We lost Tom!

Hopefully Richard will fare better in the final round tomorrow😉

[Cat]

What?! I wash my hands!

[Melindam]

I'm officially in mourning and avoiding the thread of D1 for a while.

Just make sure you're back tomorrow. RA will need you 😉

[Sophie, The other one]

Nooo! What is wrong with them all?!

Team Hot Prof will lend what support they can but the lack of sponsor points is hamstringing us a bit.

[Sammy]

Wound down the clockwork droids, and decided to try chasing that chupacabra again. naturally I failed...

Bunyip
1 200 to 299
2 Seal or dog on cover
3 Read a book with a ecological message/ theme (your interpretation)
4 Takes place in a rural area
5 Letter Y in title

[Sammy]

I have a gazillion dogs on cover. Next up in a series with dogs on cover also fits the page count and set in rural area

[Melindam]

I guess Mockingjay works for strong ecological message.
Domi's reading HP1, if dog on cover is needed as back-up, in case you want to read sth else, Sammy. :)

[Cat]

I'm reading The Rise and Fall of Dinosaurs - ecological theme there, of evolution into niches etc

[Sammy]

Are there any Hot Professors in it? 😆

I'm happy to read it because it also covers the rural thing, and it's a fun series.

Do we count "Harry Potter and the..." as part of the title? (I do) Domi can put HP in the Y in title task then.

[Melindam]

He'll be still some time reading it, so we can probably use it for sth else later. :)

Not nitwit ones, no!

Don't tell the the science, anatomy and other stuff all make sense!!?

[Melindam]

I'll put my Mockingjay for Y in title and Domi's HP can go to the page count of the Triffid.

[Melindam]

If you run across a book with a red cover, feel free to evict mine. I don't think I'll be able to start it before next week.

The hot spell is still insistent in HU, though we can be thankful for 34 C "only" instead of 37-38, but it still goes on. Work is crazy and my reading has slowed down to new lows. 😪

[Sammy]

I used up most of my red covers during a certain challenge recently. Greens and yellows too 😆

[Sammy]

Bwwahhaahaha! I said that, but it turns out the book I just finished has a red cover. It was black & white on my kindle, and only just noticed now 😆

[Melindam]

IT WAS MEANT TO BE. 😅🥰

[Sammy]

Added in. Just your current one to finish that one off! 😁

[Melindam]

Working on it! 😁

We are travelling to Corfu next Sunday, so it's fitting. 😊

[Sammy]

Ohhhh, lovely! This is me once again pretending not to be jealous! 😆

[Melindam]

Being landlocked has its drawbacks and I need this annual sea-vitamin, but I told the boys that next summer it will be Scotland (and no, I DON'T CARE about the weather! 😊 )

[Sammy]

Yeah, that's why our (almost) annual getaway is to the coast too, though it's almost unheard of we travel outside of England/Scotland. I'd love too, but it's just too bloomin' expensive!

If you avoid the west coast, Scotland in summer is actually considerably nicer weather-wise than yorkshire is!

[Melindam]

The last time I visited was in 2011 - that was only Edinburgh for a few days and a daytrip to Yellowcraigs Beach with great, sunny weather (I'm wearing a sleevesless tee on one of the photos).

Before that it was in 2003 for 8 unforgettable days, making a tour with dear friends from Derby, getting as far as John O'Groats and finishing at Skye (that place still has a hold on me) and we had this unbelievable luck with the weather: it only rained in Edinburgh, otherwise it was sunny all the time. 🥰

On Skye we stayed in a B&B with a view to Portree Bay and the Old Man of Storr. I cried when we left.

[Melindam]

Talking of trips: how are your parents, Sammy? Hope the crazy summer weather doesn't affect them too badly in our corner of the world.

[Sammy]

Last I heard they were having a great time! And my dad was appreciative of the free bar 😆

My mum will be loving the sun. She's one of those people that spends 5 minutes in the sun and she's the colour of a walnut. My dad and I only have to look out the window at the sunshine and we're lobster 😂

[Sammy]

If you've not been yet (and even if you have) the Cairngorms are lovely, and Ballater in particular is a lovely village, with soooooo many beautiful walks nearby, for all levels of experience.
It also has an award-winning ice cream parlour which sells amazing ice cream! 😁

[Melindam]

Ballater sounds great! And we are all fans of icecream.

I haven't been there. Seems

I went around the place (Blair Atholl, Pilochry, Inverness :)

[Melindam]

Glad to hear your parents seem to have a good time.

[Sammy]

Alright ladies, Richard is up. 😉

[Melindam]

I'm hoping that at least he can make it to the last round.

[Sammy]

I'll give him a wee boost in a bit if it looks like he still needs it 😉

I'm still pouting about losing Karl Urban... the only silver lining is not having him pitched against Chris Hemsworth.
