I found that the Britney Spears book actually fitted the rest of tasks for The Lavish Family (moved Domi's book elsewhere), so they have been packed away.

[Melindam]

Findee Swing

1. 350-450
2. a character works in law enforcement
3. Author initials found in RIOT
4. a unit of measurement in the title
5. character has a silly name (your opinion)

[Melindam]

How do we feel about The GraveYARD Book for unit of measurement?

[Cat]

I feel fine about that

Finally I'll be able to get on with The Unicorn Hunt. I just checked the default edition as I have it on audio, and it's 656 pages, LOL.

But I'm sure something will turn up for the 500-650 page count. :)

[Melindam]

I presume everybody's in Wheel-anticipation mode (+ ongoing Turf mode 😉), but listing the unclaimed tasks here in case something fitting comes along. 😊

- published under a pseudonym
- "Mars" in text
- Armor or helmet on cover
- 2x red cover
- 500 to 650
- 350-450
- Author initials found in RIOT

of course it is!

[Melindam]

BTW, just went through this list of pseudonyms and I got quite a few surprises (which just goes to show that I'm completely out of touch 😅). Anyway, T. Kingfisher is a pen name I didn't know about.

I'll be reading a book from the Wheel of Time series some time for page points and that will work if it's not taken up sooner.

[Melindam]

Cat grabbed pseudonym and 2 of my upcoming Wheel books will be covering Mars in text & author's initials in RIOT.

[Sammy]

Nice. I got nothing today. And red covers are a problem right now. Still haven't replenished what I used for UNO 😆

[Sammy]

And my upcoming chunky books are all over 650. *sigh*

[Melindam]

I will try and fit in a red cover a bit later on and will see if Domi can pick up the other one with a Wimpy Kid. :)

[Dominomaj]

We finished vampire pumpkin 🎃.

The new monster is

Lily Weatherwax

1. 200-299
2. Story features sisters
3. Witch character in the story
4. mirror/reflective surface on the cover
5. A character uses an alias

[Sammy]

Yay! Thanks Domi.

Of course I already read 3 witch books this week 😆

[Melindam]

:D

[Melindam]

I have an upcoming. ;) It also covers reflective surface & page count.

[Sammy]

You've totally been on a roll with having stuff for tasks recently!

I have realised I have far too many non-task-friendly books in my tbr! 😆

[Melindam]

And it is a U-book as well!! LOL

Wonder how long the lucky streak will last. ;)

[Melindam]

We discussed his next read with Domi and he is taking one of the red cover tasks. :)

[Sammy]

Awesome! You two are a power team.

Now to figure out what to do with a 150 page Japanese book about a bookshop with books and a cat on the cover (even though there isn't a single cat in the book. Why, illustrators, why?

[Melindam]

:D

[Melindam]

Made short shrift of Lily Weatherwax. We have ....

ummm 😶‍🌫️
....

a favourite task of Sophie's, which is totally her fault as she just evoked it by mentioning it in our Wheel thread.

Colchian Dragon
1. 200 to 299
2. from an unfinished series
3. music instrument on cover
4. MPG Epic Fantasy
5. yellow cover


Sorry, Sophie!! 😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️

[Sophie, The other one]

That was entirely my fault and I apologise!

[Melindam]

🤭🥰

[Cat]

oh.....

well, one of the books that is taking me forever to get to has an instrument on it

sadly it's MPG High Fantasy not Epic Fantasy, but is unfinished series

at the moment it's covering page count and GREED in title, but I can swap in a different long book for page count. ETA and one I've already finished for GREED

Shall I switch, or leave it as it is?

[Melindam]

I think you should switch, Cat, unless Sammy has something that may work? :)

[Sammy]

I have a big 'ole nope on all of the above 😆

[Melindam]

🤭

[Sophie, The other one]

I've got epic fantasy and unfinished series covered. Musical instrument nothing immediate. In true epic fantasy style, the page count is too high to be useful for this.

[Cat]

I finished off Marianne & Willoughby, and spun Fictional Humans in the hope of Bob. Instead I got a different new one that had slipped the net:

Mr. Burns (The Simpsons)
1 100 to 175
2 MPG Humor
3 "nuclear" in text
4 Set in the US
5 Series has more than five books

[Melindam]

Domi can take the page count with a book we're reading, unless you have something up your sleeves. :)

[Cat]

it's all his! :)

Wheel prompting longer reads, after all!

[Melindam]

Cat wrote: "it's all his! :)

True. ;)

[Sammy]

Except for those of us with a split personality thing going on trying to balance long reads for wheel with lots of short ones for turf.

That said, it'll be about a week before said short reads will be popping up again for me, so if Domi has something up his sleeve, that's perfect! 😁

Sammy wrote: "Except for those of us with a split personality thing going on trying to balance long reads for wheel with lots of short ones for turf."

I didn't mean to point the finger, so I just agreed with Cat. 🤭

[Sammy]

There's a reason I signed up for wheel with many less books than I expect to read. With a cap in place, I didn't want to drag down my team with all the short books, so I'll just be ignoring them 😁

[Cat]

someone who read the rules! be still my beating heart!

SO many people didn't read / didn't think :/

[Cat]

Unclaimed Tasks

Armor or helmet on cover
Red cover (>50%)

200 to 299

You're not kidding. 😆

[Melindam]

:D

[Melindam]

Apologies, but I need to put my RIOT-author book on a hiatus until wheel ends.

I started reading it and it is absolutely fascinating, but it deserves so much more attention than I can give to it right now, so it is a decision made out of respect to author/subject and reader. 😊 It is a slow-read book, where I'll need to stop, check out music, etc.

On the other hand, I have claimed armor/helmet on cover and yellow cover.

[Melindam]

Unclaimed Tasks - updated


Red cover (>50%)

Author initials found in RIOT

200 to 299

MPG Humor

[Cat]

I think this is sufficiently red?

[Melindam]

I say yes. :)

[Sammy]

Just finished a 292 page book with a guitar on the cover. I've left your book you said can be bumped where it is for now Cat, but if anyone has a book in an unfinished series before you get through that one, it can cover the instrument task 😁

[Cat]

I finished a red cover, and switched spots with Domi's to finish off a monster.

Jake Barnes & Lady Brett Ashley (The Sun Also Rises)
1 100 to 175 - have put Domi's other claimed here, as I also finished a short & Humour MPG book, so filled those in
2 takes place in Spain
3 absinthe in text
4 orange cover
5 celestial body in title (sun, moon, etc)

I've switched it out - Sophie's Epic Fantasy is also unfinished series :)

[Melindam]

Thanks, Cat. :)

[Sammy]

Awesome!
