Not sur..."

I just finished it. Warm and sunny definitely, but it doesn't especially scream tropical.

No, I think that would get confusing.

I'm finding it especially interesting to read this time having read The Phantom of the Opera in the meantime. Practically everything outside of our witchy friends has been lifted from the book (and given the Pratchett treatment, naturally)

I also find it extremely entertaining how overwhelmingly about sex this book is... Even for one featuring Nanny Ogg! 😆

[Melindam]

I drudged through Phantom once and was bored to tears by it. Even thinking of Gerard Butler didn't help....

[Sammy]

I've taken the 5 year gap task, as my current book happens to fit.

Have several very long books coming up in the next couple of weeks, so now would be a good time for really high page count tasks😆

[Cat]

should I be ready to spin spin spin?!

[Sammy]

You do have a knack...

[Melindam]

🤭

[Melindam]

I feel almost ready to start on the backroom BOM, so I will take red cover

[Sammy]

Sophie, you're up!

[Sammy]

Nanny Ogg chased off the Kraken (well, she did something to it anyway...) In its place we now have:

The Sontarans

1 350 to 450
2 Climate fiction
3 "potato" in text
4 Title starts with a letter in SPACESHIP
5 Honor important to plot (your interpretation)

[Melindam]

Morlocks are gone.

Daleks
1. 500 to 650
2. "Exterminate(d)" in text
3. Letters in DALEKS in title
4. 6 and 3 in page number (started in 1963)
5. Xenophobia is important to plot (your interpretation)

[Sammy]

I'm starting a 500+ today :)

[Melindam]

Awesome. :)

[Sammy]

I've got taks 2 & 5 as well. 😁

[Melindam]

We started travelling today, so I'll be 1 or 2 days to see what my next books will be. Also depends on what the last mini will be. :)

[Melindam]

Hope we'll learn the details soon. ;)

[Sammy]

Safe travels!

And yes, details would be awesome, lol.

[Melindam]

If only we had some Mods on our Team... (giggles)

[Sammy]

Preferably two, so if one is really busy, there's another as back-up... 😆

[Melindam]

:D

[Sophie, The other one]

I'm sure you'll find out about the next challenge in the next couple of days. It'll put you in a spin.

[Sammy]

Speaking of spins...

I'm just going to apologise in advance... I should never be allowed to spin things again...

[Sammy]

Again. I am really, really sorry...

[Sophie, The other one]

Sammy wrote: "Again. I am really, really sorry..."

What have you done?!

That is a horrible combination.

[Sammy]

I know! I am officially worse than Cat at spinning wheels!

[Sophie, The other one]

Currently refusing to vote because I can't pick. Hopefully sleep will make the decision clearer.

[Sammy]

I honestly don't blame you!

[Cat]

It's the worst, Sammy!

I voted Richard so that he had some love. And am also seeking the silver lining of at least one of them is into the next round.

But really....!

[Sammy]

I guess that's one way of looking at it, lol.

[Sammy]

If no-one else gets to it, I might be able to cover climate fiction in a little while. All depends on what books I need to read when for mini challenges and another challenge I'm doing with Jenny atm.

I fancy re-reading Termination Shock, but I'm hanging on until I can get it to fit somewhere 😁

[Cat]

Just realised that one of my current books (all to be finished from tomorrow for the mini) could work for tropical island.

[Melindam]

Yaay!

[Sammy]

Nice!

[Melindam]

We are and will be staying in Corfu until 7 Aug, so understandably Domi's reading progress is .. ahem...somewhat obstructed.

So in case you finish a book that fits "6 and 3 in page number" just oust his. :)

[Sammy]

Tom #1 is ready for some love 😉

[Sammy]

Aaaaand Tom #2 is up.

My apologies. Against anyone else he'd have my vote, but he's up against my favourite.

Fully expect you guys to vote Tom though! 😉

[Sophie, The other one]

Well that is not the final I'd expected from Thirst Games.

[Sophie, The other one]

I've finally managed to defeat the Dunnes, but Grendel's Mother has come to call instead.

350-400
Title includes a relationship (i.e. Clockmaker's Daughter)
Char loses a limb or is an amputee
Oldest book on your TBR list (publication date)
"hark" in text

[Sammy]

yikes!

I'm just about to start a superheroes vs zombies book, so someone losing a limb is a possibility (there was an amuptation to stop zombie infection in book 1. Fingers crosssed, lol)

I've got a read of The Faerie Queene coming up, which would work for oldest on TBR, but not until after Book Games ends.

[Sammy]

Used my red cover to chase away the Griffin, new monster is:

Tomas and Tereza (The Unbearable Lightness of Being)

1 100 to 175
2 MC owns a dog
3 character is a waitress
4 communism important to plot
5 takes place in the 1960s and/or 1970s

[Cat]

and I just realised that I didn't update yesterday, about to spin having cleared off Madagascar Tree.


Spun us a Greek snek. soz!

1 100 to 175
2 features twins
3 Author name (first or last) starts with a letter in SWORD
4 character is pregnant
5 mentions some type of championship games (World Cup, Olympics, World Series, etc)

[Sammy]

At least it's not cerberus again 😉

[Sophie, The other one]

I've got a dog book under way.

And another that works for championship games.

[Melindam]

I have 1 for the T&T page count + takes place in 60/70s.

[Sammy]

Sadly, I didn't notice any amputations in my zombie book this time. Maybe the next one...

[Sammy]

Finally starting Termination Shock, so we should be able to drown those pesky Sontarans tomorrow. 😁

[Sammy]

Sontarans begone!


Tipua

1 350 to 450
2 Set in Australia or Oceania
3 Plant on cover
4 At least three vowels in one word in title
5 Author initials in MAORI

[Sammy]

I have a heap of aussie books in my tbr, though may be a couple of days...

[Melindam]

We'll be flying home tomorrow and then need to prepare for our next trip to Switzerland, plus depending on the mini tasks...

I'll see what I can add the day after tomorrow.

Sophie, in the U-book I have finished the MC has a dog, so if you don't mind, I'll add it to that slot as well.

[Cat]

do we think it's three unique vowels? I guess so, given the name of the monster... booo

ETA: oh! un-booooo! I'#m reading The Unbroken - with a U O & E!
