Thank you, Sophie, I'll check out if those have been translated into Hungarian.

Considering tentacles, I think there was a China Mieville book as well, but it's on the other side of the spectrum.
I'll check out if there's some short tentacle porn I can find in me to tackle. :D

[Sammy]

There are some short stories on the list. I'd squeeze one in, but I don't have KU, and not sure I'm willing to spend actual money on them! 😆

The Mieville is great, but it's not tagged! 😢

[Melindam]

Oh...

Literally everything with a tentacle tag is porn!

[Sophie, The other one]

If one of us tags the China Mieville book maybe someone else could read it.

[Melindam]

I can take the book Judith has recommended. :) Just not immediately.

[Sophie, The other one]

I can too! Looks like if you add monster or similar to the tentacle tag then they become more tolerable!

also looks reasonable.

[Sammy]

The Threshold series by Peter Clines is actually very good, and I would totally have re-read one of them (I think all but #3 have at least some tentacle-based stuff going on at some point) had they been tagged.

In fact, I probably will re-read soon anyway, and will tag the ones that work so next time someone gets this task they have options! 😆

[Sammy]

I never checked the plural!

The House in the Cerulean Sea is tagged "tentacles" 2x and is really cute (but I just read it)

A Deadly Education is on there 1x. also just read and please don't ask me to read it again! 😆

Children of Ruin (really good but a book 2)

From a Buick 8 (not King's greatest achievement)

All of Octavia Butler's Xenogenesis trilogy

Gideon the Ninth

A couple of Mieville's,

and...

Magic Burns Which I am planning to read this week for turf!! 😁

You're very welcome to read the other book Mel, but you don't have to!

[Melindam]

That's a relief! :) ♡

[Cat]

I had been hoping that was going to get the tag, but weekly checks had not been going my way


but, I have finished that purple book, so shall go do an update & spin

[Cat]

I felt like a Dr Who. prob shouldn't have been the spinner....

Vashta Nerada
1 500 to 650
2 Skeleton or bones on the cover
3 Tagged Books-about-Books (at least 10 times)
4 A group of animals is mentioned in the text eg swarm, herd etc.
5 Word in title starts with the letter V

[Lexi]

Adding some:

The 5th Gender - actual tentacle porn (for which I took off one star) but one of the best opening scenes with cat sitting on a space port
The City We Became

Borne - very good and fast read
Where the Drowned Girls Go - #7 in Wayward Children (very short)
Ring Shout - also very short
The Affair of the Mysterious Letter - a very odd, absolute favorite of mine
The Ballad of Black Tom - short
Lovecraft Country
The Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration into the Wonder of Consciousness - non-fiction

[Melindam]

Thank you, Lexie. ☺️

I should really re-read The Eyre Affair for books-about- books, especially as I bought the audiobook on a sale. :)

Plus it has "a herd of bemused cows" in text. ☺️

[Sammy]

Thanks Lexi!

I've got the V word in title with one of my turf books for this week :)

No 500-pagers planned as yet, until tasks come through on a couple of other challenges I'm doing. Possibly in a day or 2.

I guess this works for "character has to be diplomatic" - with Pen's need to not hack off the suitors too much?

[Melindam]

BTW, Cat, I'm really enjoying The Thief. :)

Hurrah! and Lexi will be pleased to hear that too :)

Yes, it was on both of your recommendations that I put the book on my TBR in the first place. 😊

[Sammy]

Tolkien book done. It's not the best I've read on the topic certainly! Good stuff mixed with less so. I don't think I'd be happy spending a credit on it, but ok for a freebie.

Thanks, Sammy. It's not in the us plus catalogue.

[Melindam]

BTW, have you read Foundation as audiobook?

There is an edition narrated by Scott Brick, who also does the Orphan X series.

I have read both in print and as an audio, but with a different narrator. If I didn't already have an audio and 2 print copies of the book, I might have grabbed that one! 😆

I would suggest hanging on and seeing if it appears some time. There are many better books out there to spend your credit on!

[Melindam]

Taking your advice! :)

[Dominomaj]

I finished my book, We have a new monster.

[Melindam]

Abominations Unto Nuggan
1. 350-450
2. tagged Religion / Religious at least 5 times
3. stationary on the cover
4. NO chocolate OR garlic in the text
5. A book with a cover, or which features an event which you consider to be an abomination

I can cover Religion. ;)

[Sammy]

Of course, now I stumble across tortoises in Magic Burns 🙄

Oh, I trust you guys are enjoying the wheel words. The u bend is a special treat for you 😉

I knew we could(n't) trust You, Lovely Mods.🥰

I bet Sammy's already researching all those hot guys doing boring stuff round the office and the house. Right, Sammy? I'm really counting on you. 😅

I can just picture Tom Hiddleston doing my tax returns for me, as well as unblocking the U-bend. Especially that!🤣

[Sammy]

😂

My husband is usually the one lumbered with said tasks. there is most definitely nothing sexy about them! 😂😂😂

[Melindam]

:D :D

[Sophie, The other one]

There are some jobs that should be shifted to people who are not me as a matter of routine.

[Sammy]

Very sensible.

[Melindam]

Well, I get all hot and bothered when my husband reminds me of the annual tax return deadline, just not THAT way. :D

[Sophie, The other one]

Urgh taxes. Mine get sent to my sisters so I can ignore them. Speaking of, I should check how they are going.

[Cat]

Well, I finally finished Demon Copperhead!

and, taking a risk, spun. I shall not be spinning during wheel....

John Willoughby and Marianne Dashwood (Sense and Sensibility)
1 500 to 650
2 published under a pseudonym
3 MC has at least 3 siblings
4 character is a cheater (your interpretation)
5 GREED (letters in any order) found in title

[Melindam]

I just added the book Jackie, Janet & Lee: The Secret Lives of Janet Auchincloss and Her Daughters, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwill for assassination, but it's also 528 pages, so I can transfer it if you want. It also covers GREED and I'm sure Aristotle Onassis may be considered a cheater, as well as JFK and Jackie and her sister too.

[Sammy]

I have an attempted assassination, but not a successful one just yet 😆

[Sammy]

I do have a heap of siblings coming up though!

[Melindam]

Sammy wrote: "I have an attempted assassination, but not a successful one just yet 😆"

😅 Then I'll leave my Jackie O book there for the time being.

[Cat]

I have a GREED and page count. too early to tell if there is a cheater though

[Sammy]

I'll look out for chaeters too.

[Cat]

just reminded myself which book Shadow Sister was - confident that there is a cheater in there - Alice Keppel

[Sammy]

Awesome!
