If we're ok with around half the book being in spain, I'll have one in a week to 10 days-ish 😊

[Melindam]

I'm more than OK. 🥰

[Cat]

I've very OK with that too!

Absolutely ok with that!

"soul-sucking" in text
Book series contains a .5


I've got a cloak or cape on the cover: - I just need to get on and read it!

[Sophie, The other one]

would this count as a faceless person?

[Melindam]

Yes, definitely faceless.

[Cat]

so annoying it's not in the St Mary's series!

[Sophie, The other one]

I did double check that!

[Sammy]

Awesome, I have 2 chunky ones to get through first, but hopefully will be done before the end of next week!

[Melindam]

Sammy, I think you have finished your Spain book, right? :)

[Sammy]

yes, will update in a mo. 😁

James Bond (James Bond)

1 650+
2 MC is a spy
3 "martini" in text
4 7 in publication date (July counts!)
5 part of a series with more than 5 books

[Sammy]

My current book is 720 pages and has a 7 in pub date.

[Melindam]

I can cover part of a series with more than 5 and martini in text.

[Sammy]

The martini book looks suspiciously like an admin mini read 😆

[Sammy]

I'm a little vexed that I already re-read Termination Shock this year, because it appears to be the only "environment" book I can find on my shelves.

[Cat]

oh! The new Booker winner is tagged environment 11 times. I could get to that in the next week I reckon. but happy to be gazumped

ETA: Orbital

How did you guess? 😅

It is, but not a bad one at that. This series is quite digestible, especially the audiobook versions. 🤭

[Melindam]

I don't have any environment books, at least not any that I would consider re-reading right now, so I'm happy to wait.

[Sammy]

Nice find Cat!

It was something to do with the word wallstreet. And also the immediate thought "If asked who would be likely to be reading this book, Mel would not be at the top of the list" 😆

[Melindam]

😅
I've grown old and cynical.

But believe it or not, it's a re-read. 🤭

These books are on-off in the Audible plus catalogue, short enough and snarky enough to make them bearable, I can listen to them at 2.0 speed + I really like the male narrator, Zachary Webber. Also, there's an I-character in all of them.

[Melindam]

After this round is over, I'm finally getting on with the family tree book, I promise.

[Sammy]

Hey, I'm not judging, it's just not the first kind of book I'd have expected from you 😁

I've been reading quite a few of those kind of books over the past year or so purely because they have been narrated by Aiden Snow and I'm addicted to his voice 😆

I know! You were just teasing and it's fine. And in my turn I was trying to say that this series is really OK, despite not being my first choice. 🥰

[Cat]

I might bump you Mel!
Just started a China book to find a beautiful family tree....

[Melindam]

Awesome! By all means. :))

[Cat]

I pushed Mel out of the family tree slot, finished off the Dragon King.

spun us a Greek:

Empusa
1 100 to 125
2 takes place in the suburbs
3 character is a bully (your interpretation)
4 sandals on cover (flip-flops/thongs accepted)
5 MC owns a cow or dog

[Sammy]

Dang, my shortest is 157 pages.

[Cat]

I bumped Sophie's faceless, finished the Dementors with one final book and spun us

Judoon
1 100 to 175
2 MC is in law enforcement or equivalent
3 Stars on cover
4 "hospital" in text
5 First book in a series

[Melindam]

Wow, where did you find "soul-sucking"?!

I think I hate that task the most, lol.

[Cat]

It popped up in my office romance / human/monster smut! The Gargoyle from General Management

I was very pleased, and had no compunctions about pushing Sophie out so we could get shot of the Dementors!

[Melindam]

Hear! Hear!

:D

[Sammy]

Talk about a task that does what it says! 😆 Nice find Cat!

[Melindam]

MC is a spy - what do we think about Thomas Cromwell running a ring of spies? One step too far removed?

[Cat]

I think that's one step too removed :(

[Melindam]

Thought so, but was worth a try. :)

[Sophie, The other one]

Thanks Cat!

Cloak on cover is finished so here is our replacement.

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

[Melindam]

I'll be moving my Thomas Cromwell book there to claim religious figure + siginificant character over 70. Just finished.

[Sammy]

And Bond is now holed up somewhere with his latest conquest, so instead we have:

Protomolecule (Expanse)

1 450+
2 Form of hivemind in the book
3 Tagged "Series-to-read" at least 10 times - must be new to you series
4 "microorganism" or "microbe" in text
5 A book or series that has been made into a graphic novel

[Melindam]

Ahhh, my Emerald Blaze would have covered hive-mind nicely if I haven't finished already..... sigh.

[Sammy]

I may grab the next expanse book for my trip to Bristol this weekend. Can't be certain it'll work, but it'll be a good read either way 😁
