Btw, if we get a book that needs a whale, or an otter, let me know. I just got one from KU about a orca shifter that spends some time in the water in his other form.

I'm just waiting for a time I don't pass out asleep as soon as I am comfortable to read it :D

I would not have known which way to vote on that one!

I'd have thrown some points at Karl, but beause I set myself a 1 hour wait rule for ending the round after posting sponsor points (because otherwise I could just throw points at my faves and quickly close, which isn't really fair), it was going to be far too long past my bed-time.

[Sonia]

Oh I know... I would not enjoy it, but I know who would have won.

There are a few battles that will be really bloody ahead.

[Sammy]

Well, that Bunyip wasn't much trouble, spun literary instead and got:

Morlocks (HG Wells)

1 175-225
2 MPG Time travel
3 Page number is a prime number
4 Grey cover
5 A sequel or next in series with more than 5 year gap

[Sammy]

Are you still wanting the "8 in series number" task Sophie?

I'm starting Maskerade on Monday, which is #18 in the Discworld series.

If it was something you were wanting to read, I'm sure I'll fit it somewhere else when the time comes, but if only reading for the task, I can cover 😊

[Sophie, The other one]

Prioritising for the task so happy for it to be bumped.

[Sammy]

Okie dokie 😊

[Melindam]

Domi will be reading Why Beethoven Threw the Stew. The HU version is 157 pages which works for prime number.

[Melindam]

Sammy,

How would you feel about a swap? :)

I checked on Amazon that your The Crimson Petal and the White has "Mars" in text . For the 651+ pages, I'll finish a book tomorrow at the latest.

[Sammy]

Sounds good to me 😁

[Melindam]

Thanks, I will do the swap, then. :))

[Sammy]

Awesome. I have a "the team that reads the longest books wins" challenge coming up in a few days, so holding off until then with that one, lol.

[Sammy]

Vexing. If I'd read the paperback version of A Change of Climate, it would have been a grey cover, but the audio has too high a % of black *sigh*

[Cat]

I finished a book that works for the page count for Triffid's, which would complete that set at the price of bumping Domi's Harry Potter. Thoughts?

[Sophie, The other one]

I'm about to finish a grey cover so will slot it in when I get Roy d to updating everything.

Sure, just do it, Cat. :)

[Cat]

Done!

got
Griffin
1 300 to 349
2 set in United States
3 red cover
4 "brave" or "courageous" in text
5 cross on cover

probably Domi's HP can fit into brave / courageous?

yes, that's what I thought, too. 😊

Will put it there. He has only a few chapters left.

[Melindam]

My battle book fits "set in USA", but if someone finishes something sooner, then feel free kick mine out.

[Sammy]

I got nothing at the moment. Just trying to finish the BOM, and will be starting Maskerade shortly for the other task. At least that should be a quick read 😁

[Melindam]

Just realised that my Paul Newman Memoir also fits the USA task and I'll finish it sooner than the battle book.

[Dominomaj]

Sammy

in my HP book Mars is mentioned.
Can I put my book there? I would love to spin the wheel :)

[Sophie, The other one]

That sounds like a great idea Domi. Go for it!

[Dominomaj]

new monster incoming.

[Dominomaj]

Madagascar Tree

1. 500 to 650
2. MPG Adventure
3. Set on a tropical island
4. A fake, hoax, or forgery is important to the plot
5. "sacrifice" in text

[Melindam]

My battle book works for MPG Adventure and hoax in plot.

[Sammy]

dang! finished The Book that Wouldn't Burn last night. That would have fit the page count.

[Melindam]

Sammy wrote: "dang! finished The Book that Wouldn't Burn last night. That would have fit the page count."

maybe we could still accept it ... I am all for it.... :D

[Melindam]

Listing all unclaimed tasks for an overview:

- A sequel or next in series with more than 5 year gap
- red cover (backroom BOM fits this task)
- Set on a tropical island

[Cat]

doesn't The Book.... have MPG Time Travel?

[Melindam]

Cat wrote: "doesn't The Book.... have MPG Time Travel?"

Yes, it does, just checked. :)

Sammy, I added your edition to the slot.

[Melindam]

Not a very distinguishable one, but I think that's a cross on the guy's shield??

[Cat]

works for me!

[Melindam]

I won't be done with it for a while, but I can add it with the usual caveat of it can be kicked out if sth comes up sooner..

[Sammy]

Awesome, thanks. Only just got to a computer and have some catching up to do! lol.

[Sammy]

I'm just about to start on The House in the Cerulean Sea. Blurb says it's set on an island. Has anyone read it? If yes, would you say it's a tropical island?

[Sonia]

Yes I read it. No, it's not tropical

[Sammy]

Dang! Not gonna work for that slot then, lol.

[Sammy]

RA had no problems getting through this round. You may all stand down, lol.

[Cat]

Fer-yew!

[Melindam]

That's a bit of a consolation. I have started disliking Jeffrey Dean Morgan ... a lot... LOL

Sammy wrote: "Dang! Not gonna work for that slot then, lol."

It's a shame Corfu is not a tropical island, either.

Sammy, have you reached A Caribbean Mystery in your AC reading spree yet? 😉

[Sammy]

I haven't yet, though I have it as a print copy and have a couple of those lined up to read already. If nobody else has anything for it I might get around to it in a week to 10 days...

In the meantime, loving my Maskerade re-read right now :D

AARRRGHHHH!

NO, Melinda, NO.... you WILL NOT re-read Maskerade, you have your boring battle book to finish!!!

😵‍💫

Not sure I would call it tropical. I cannot remember if there is a huge description of the outside. But there definitely was no "hanging out on the beach."

[Sophie, The other one]

Maskerade is one of my favourites! Currently have The Fifth Elephant on the go and 2 Pratchett at once is not a good plan.

Use it as an incentive to get through the battle book. Get it out of the way and it can be Pratchett time! 😁
