I've been sitting on Upgrade all year...

I will be grumpius maximus if I don't get to read it during said hypothetical revolving hoop challenge...

[Melindam]

There are definitely a few U-books I'd like to read, too. ;)

[Melindam]

Have U alreasy decided on a theme for the "revolving hoop"? :)

[Cat]

nice try, but we couldn't possibly comment! ;-P

[Melindam]

:D

I know. I wasn't expecting a full reply, just a yea or a nay. ;)

[Cat]

we generally have the theme waaaaaaay earlier than the deets :)

[Melindam]

♡

[Sophie, The other one]

We have had vague themes for the challenges for 2025 since about March! Which is earlier than standard but we do try to think a bit in advance.

[Melindam]

Always useful. 🥰

[Melindam]

After my cUriosity-detour, returning back to the challenge in hand 😊

If any of you have books that work for "embezzle" in text and/or "any kind of betting in story", I could move my for white cover and the page count 350-450. It also works for 5 in page count.

[Sammy]

I definitely have betting in my current book, but not sure about embezzle yet.

[Cat]

I found EMBEZZLEMENT in the book I finished yesterday. we ok with that?

[Melindam]

Yes. :)

[Sophie, The other one]

I'm good with that. Seems the same as a lot of the other things we've allowed to count.

[Melindam]

And I've forgotten about a book I have recently finished, which helps us with the Summoning Dark, so I'm going spinning. :)

[Sammy]

Yep!

[Melindam]

Talking about Us... sorry

Cthulhu
1. 450+
2. Two U's in author name (first or last)
3. A cult is important to the plot
4. Retelling that is in conversation with an issue in the original
5. Tagged tentacles at least 1

[Melindam]

Oh and I just realised that the page count of the Henry V book has been updated to 526 (I swear it was 400-something the last time I checked - possibly they took the hardcover page count for reference first, that's 432), so the page count task is out. 😳

[Sammy]

The wheel always knows!!

[Melindam]

Sammy wrote: "The wheel always knows!!"

😅 True.

[Cat]

I can stuff Random in Death into the page count @368

[Melindam]

Can this be considered monochrome or not really?

are you and Christina in cahoots??!

[Sammy]

I have my next 20 books lined up, and none have a 2 U author. I can check the next batch in about 10 days or so if nobody gets there first 😉

[Melindam]

Great!! :)

I emphatically deny it!! 😅

Will have a look on my TBR.

[Sophie, The other one]

I've got several on the go that have 1 U in the author, so close but not actually helpful!

Actually I've found I Know You by LoUise MUllins which also works for my current maze task.

[Sammy]

Awesome!

And my other book I'm reading also has betting, and I'll finish it sooner, so I'll swap 'em out 😁

[Sammy]

If we're claiming monochrome as a 2 colour cover (like black & white), would we consider this gold and grey to fit?:

[Cat]

I would, yes

[Melindam]

Yes :)

[Sammy]

Excellent!

[Sammy]

Edward Rochester (Jane Eyre)

1 200 to 299
2 MC gets gaslighted
3 MC is a teaching profession
4 fire important to plot
5 purple cover

[Melindam]

Reacher Gilt was embezzled away.

Dios

1. 200-299
2. features a religious figure (priest, rabbi, monk, etc.)
3. book has a significant character who is over 70 years old
4. the word VEGETARIAN in the text
5. something shaped like a pyramid or triangle on the cover

[Melindam]

I grabbed religious figure, but my book may do for significant septuagenarian character - have to wait and see.

[Sammy]

Dang! My current book just mentioned vegan 🫤

[Sammy]

although I can take the sinificant character over 70, as the MC is Queen Elizabeth.

[Melindam]

♡

[Melindam]

Grab it, Sammy. :)

[Sammy]

How do we feel about the plate of food being pyramid shaped?

[Melindam]

:D I'm a bit on the fence about it, but I'm persuadable. ;)

[Sophie, The other one]

I can take MC is gaslit as Charmian is during Memento Mori. Also works for page length (224). Would also work for character over 70 if we can use Sammy's somewhere else as well.

[Sammy]

I've unexpectedly come across a vegetarian!

How about using the coloured triangles?

[Sammy]

Ohhhh, I spy a chupacabra! 😁

[Sophie, The other one]

Was about to let you all know about that when there was a meltdown about Duplo.

[Sammy]

I remember those! 😆

[Melindam]

Oh dear, Duplo meltdown IS serious.

Well done with the triangles, Sammy. :)

[Sammy]

I'm waiting for the next set of tasks in another challenge which favours long books, so once those come through I may have a 500+ lined up if no-one else grabs that one.

[Melindam]

Sammy, does either your Queen or Miss Brodie book feature a religious figure?
If so, I can remove my Crusaders book from there. If not, it can stay there and I'll finish it eventually. :))
