same, Mel, same!

[Melindam]

My reading has slowed down considerably besides me needing a bit of a challenge-break (present challenge not included) with going back to work and Domi's ongoing school preps, but I'll be done with my "islam" book in a day or 2.

I blame spending too much time around you in this challenge 😜

Enjoy ladies, let me know if I left someone off the credit list

[Melindam]

Yaayy! ♡

[Melindam]

Updated our ss with the DW Monsters.

I'll be finishing my Islam book soon, so we can spin for 1. 😊

[Cat]

do it do it do it! :)

[Melindam]

Almost there. ;)

[Melindam]

And here we go, let me present our first DW Monster:

Jonathan Teatime

1. 500 to 650
2. Teeth on cover
3. story is set around Christmas time
4. has a word in the title that is not prounounced phonetically (e.g. silent letters)
5. MC in his 20s

[Melindam]

Cat,

could you add the DW wheel link to your 1st post, when you have the time? Thank you. :)

[Melindam]

OK, so phonetics is not my strong point (I actually hated it when I had to study it for linguistics!), for "word in the title that is not prounounced phonetically" does the word "Maestro" work for this?

[Cat]

erm... I think it's marginal.

Knives and Gnomes and the like would be a clearer fit.

👍

[Melindam]

I can take "teeth on cover" :)

[Sammy]

Woohoo!

Aaaand the book I just finished doesn't work for any of it 😆

[Sammy]

My book after next is a 500-pager though!

[Melindam]

That's great! :))

[Cat]

back to non-phonetic. how do we feel about "BRIGHT"?

[Sammy]

Works for me. The G is silent.

[Cat]

I'm about half an hour from done with that book :)

[Melindam]

Yayy!

[Sammy]

I just finished a book with fire on the cover. Want me to slot it in there to finish the mares Mel, or are you on it?

[Melindam]

Oh, please do, Sammy! I haven't even started on that one yet. :)

[Sammy]

Ok, will do!

[Sammy]

Wolfgang von Überwald

1 350-450
2 Tagged WEREWOLF at least 10x
3 A reference is made to a real book or author
4 BATH in text
5 Any kind of device (real or fictional) is used for communication

[Sammy]

I've got the werewolves. Reading one for another challenge in a few days 😁

[Melindam]

Yaay!

[Melindam]

I'm taking the Xmas time book instead, have a shortie for that task.

[Sammy]

Nice!

[Melindam]

I need to check my non-fic audiobook I just finished on Amazon. It may have bath in text and possibly refers to existing authors. It certainly mentiones Leonard Bernstein who wrote at least 1 book that I know of (The Joy of Music).

[Melindam]

I found a reference to an existing book, but no "bath" in text. Everything else is covered. :)

[Sammy]

Awesome!

the book I just finished had a bath! 😁

[Melindam]

😁🤩

[Sophie, The other one]

Argh the bad spin mojo has passed my way now!

Reacher Gilt

500 to 650
Author's initials in COCKATOO
EMBEZZLE in text
money or coins on cover
plot features some kind of bet/betting

[Sammy]

I have loads of 500 pagers coming up! 😉

[Sophie, The other one]

Yay Sammy!

I've got Chris Carter's The Night Stalker on hold from the library, so if no-one else gets to that, then I can cover the initials in cockatoo.

[Melindam]

I have found this on my TBR for coin on cover, but I may be some time reading it, so the usual, first come-first served rule applies. Just kick it out if you come across sth that may work. 😊

And my Henry V: The Astonishing Rise of England's Greatest Warrior King has "embezzle" in text. I will be reading that one next. There is a mention of betting, so I will claim that as well. 😊

[Cat]

enjoy The Thief! Gen is a character to love :)

Thank you. It has been on my TBR for some time now on your and Lexi's rec, so killing 2 birds one stone. 🥰

Mr Te-ah-tim-eh has slunk off into the shadows...


Queen of the Elves

1 200-299
2 Author's initials in MORRIS DANCING
3 UNICORN mentioned in text
4 silver text on cover
5 set in a country with a monarchy

[Cat]

I'm reading (completion tomorrow)
author is M W Craven. we taking first & last as ok?

it's set in UK, so works for monarchy, but is too long and lacks both silver and unicorns.

[Sammy]

I'd say yes to first and last.

[Melindam]

Yes from me too :)

[Melindam]

I think my current book Cast a Diva has silver necklace on cover, but I'm on the app, need to double-check when I'm in front of my laptop.

[Melindam]

It's silver coloured, so I think it works.

[Melindam]

Just realised it needs to be text... aargh

[Sophie, The other one]

I'm half way through this which has silver text. Also hits the word count. Will do a text search for unicorn later, but I doubt it.

[Cat]

huzzah!
