[Sammy]

Yes! Murder most royal featured a priest-type figure (not a major character, but I don't think the challenge asked for that, lol)

[Melindam]

Great. :))

[Sammy]

I'll be reading Magic Bites tomorrow, which will work for page count 😁

[Melindam]

Awesome. :)

[Melindam]

I think after Henry V, my next listen will be A Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, which could work for page count &animal on cover.

[Sammy]

Nice!

that one came up in the audible sale, but decided I'll get it in the same format as the others instead.

[Melindam]

Yes, I stumbled upon it on the Audible sale and it was too good a deal for me to miss (or at least I remember that was what I told myself at the time. ;).

[Cat]

@Mel: are you at risk of innundation? :( keep safe!

[Melindam]

♡ Thank you, Cat.

Not directly, no, as we are living outside Budapest (our small lake is no threat). My workplace is close to the Danube, but so far it doesn't seem to be under threat.

The peak is expected tomorrow, buy we don't have it as bad as Austria & Czechia. (fingers crossed it won't get any worse)

[Sammy]

Glad to hear it Mel, stay safe!

[Melindam]

♡

[Sammy]

Adios to Dios...

Vorbis, the Exquisitor

1 200-299
2 An X or Q in the title
3 word TORTOISE in text
4 tagged Gods at least 5x
5 there is character development in the plot (your interpretation)

[Melindam]

Domi's reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid, it works for the 200-299 page range. :) I'll check tomorrow if a stray tortoise has hidden among the pages or not. :)

[Cat]

Awesome! And fingers crossed for a random chelid!

[Sammy]

I would say if not I can read Esio Trot, but the page count isn't high enough for Turf! 😆

[Melindam]

No tortoise seems to live inside the Wimpy Kid pages. :(

I have found 2 books on my TBR shelf that would work, but first I need to read the other 3 I've put on the ss. If only my workplace wouldn't expect me to work ... 😅

[Sammy]

I'm almost done with the Tolkien letters, which I'm loving!

Are we going by the "no characters in non-fiction" rules, or can I use Tolkien as being in a teaching profession?

[Melindam]

I think you should. ,)

[Cat]

I haven't a problem with that :)

[Sammy]

Awesome! 😁

[Sammy]

Animal on cover done 😁

Unclaimed tasks for easy reference (grouped by monster):

- Page number is a multiple of 50

- Tagged tentacles at least 1

- fire important to plot
purple cover

- An X or Q in the title
word TORTOISE in text

[Sammy]

I've got nothing coming up for those in the next 3 days or so, but I have a little more leeway after that 😁

[Melindam]

After I finished my current 3 books, I can do Tortoise in text, but will leave it empty in case someone stumbles upon one unexpectedly. 😊

[Sammy]

I've got an X in title book coming up in the next batch. Won't be tomorrow, but it'll be read within the week. 😁

[Melindam]

Just realised that The Thief has "tortoise" in text while my audiobook works for Mythology, so updated the ss..:)

[Cat]

I'm guessing not purple?

back from a long weekend in Barcelona (lovely, until coming home when I spent more than 3 hours sitting in the plane at the departure gate stand. not fun). Will have a proper look for books to fill a task or two now

[Melindam]

Purplish, just not enough.

Sitting in a plane for 3 hours??!!! Ugghhhh!

[Sammy]

Seems more of a magenta flavour to me...

Glad you had a good time, but boo! for delays!

[Sammy]

Ohhh, just got a good look at the cover of the audio I just finished!



Purple enough? The whole thing seems to have a tinge to me, but that may just be my wonky eyesight, lol.

[Melindam]

Not enough, Sammy. :(

[Sammy]

Dang!

[Cat]

how about this one? the purple side of pink I think?

[Sammy]

yes!

[Cat]

and an umbrella list :)

[Sammy]

score!

I found a couple of umbrellas too, but unfortunately they're no fit for monsters! 😢

[Melindam]

Done away with Galatea, going spinning now. 😊

[Melindam]

Prince Cadram
1. 200-299
2. MC is royalty
3. Letters in DESERT in the title
4. features an assassination
5. features a diplomat, or a situation in which a character needs to be diplomatic

[Sammy]

My current book covers desert 😁

[Melindam]

🥰

[Sammy]

And if nobody else beats me to it, I can cover MC is royalty when I re-read the Penelopiad in a few days 😁

[Melindam]

Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a godsend. Drew Domi out of his reading slump. He's enjoying it very much. 🥰

[Melindam]

Dang, Sammy, stop reading books that I want to go and read right away!! 😅

[Sammy]

Sorry! 😆

So glad to hear it!

[Melindam]

I think I need to spend my extra credit on the Tolkien letters anyway, but will wait for your judgement before committing to Tolkien in the Twenty-First Century: The Meaning of Middle-Earth Today.

[Sammy]

Not very far into it yet, so can't say if it's worth it yet - it is in the UK plus catalogue, so is only costing me time anyway 😁

The letters, definitely yes!

Joe is loving the Rowley spooky stories by the same author if you can find it.

[Sophie, The other one]

Glad you made it back Cat! That aeroplane sit is not one to be repeated though if the plane isn't moving.

[Sophie, The other one]

Right the tentacle tags are entirely tentacle porn and I'm really not up for that! Anyone willing to volunteer?

[Sammy]

I would, but probably not until after turf wars, which is gonna be a while!
