Good start on the 2 new ones


message 253: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 10123 comments Mod
I think the title starts PH is still open - I've grabbed it 🙂


message 254: by Sophie, The other one (new)

Sophie (drsophie) | 5692 comments Mod
It was last time I looked as I couldn't find something on the list that also needed that title.


message 255: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments Run off the Drop Bear and spun the Asian wheel:

Babi Ngepet

200 to 299
Black cover (>50%)
Author initials in SWINE
Rich MC
Something is stolen

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments Taste My Life Through Food by Stanley Tucci

White enough? It's my next-up, and will fit the 200-299, but if it can be used to finish off the Cretan Bull, even better :D


message 257: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 10123 comments Mod
I think white enough :) doesn't say 90% white, so the default 50% works for me, and that cover passes :)


message 258: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments Good enough for me 😁


message 259: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 8375 comments Black Jack got defeated. Here is a new fictional human: Number Two (The Prisoner)

1. 200 to 299
2. MPG Fantasy
3. Set on an island
4. white circle on cover
5. MC gets lost


message 260: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 8375 comments Nightingale Wood by Stella Gibbons

Can the "O" in the authors name count for white circle or am I pushing it? 😉


message 261: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 10123 comments Mod
teehee, I don't think you're pushing it! :D


message 262: by Melindam (last edited Sep 05, 2023 01:08AM) (new)

Melindam | 8375 comments Great! :)

Set in the UK, so it can also cover "set on island".

Melindam | 8375 comments Sammy,

we could use your Murderbot book for the prompt "MC is unusually strong", no?

I mean, he IS, compared to mere humans. :)


message 264: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments I guess so, lol.


message 265: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments I've grabbed the "dark in title" task for Bloody Mary. 😊


message 266: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 10123 comments Mod
hurrah!

I'm going to be finishing off Kaikeyi (no task) today, and then Phoenix (PH title)

I did wonder if Shattered Bonds (Jane Yellowrock, #13) by Faith Hunter (finished earlier today) would work for the reflected item on cover - Jane is looking into the water, and we see her Beast self reflected back.... ?


message 267: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments I would say that works, the task being related to bloody Mary and therefore a reflection in a mirrored surface that doesn't necessarily correspond with the image of the person in front of said mirrored surface 😉


message 268: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 10123 comments Mod
will pop it in then :)

supporting what Sammy says 😊

Sophie (drsophie) | 5692 comments Mod
I'm happy with that reading of the task


message 271: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 8375 comments "13 in publication date or page number"

How do we feel about an audiobook edition having 13 pages?
The Real History of Secret Societies by Richard B. Spence


message 272: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 10123 comments Mod
given no other editions, I might be feeling okay ish about it?

In general I wouldn't love it, and would suggest using the default page count, but.....

really ambivalent, is what I'm saying, but could be swayed either way and then make a passionate case!


message 273: by Sophie, The other one (new)

Sophie (drsophie) | 5692 comments Mod
Creative but acceptable.


message 274: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 8375 comments Thank you, Sophie and Cat. Will see if there are other possible fits on my TBR and keep this slot free for grabbing. 😊


message 275: by Sophie, The other one (new)

Sophie (drsophie) | 5692 comments Mod
Would anything published in 2013 work? If yes then I can certainly find something.


message 276: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 10123 comments Mod
2013 will TOTES work! :D


message 277: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments yes, I'd also say it works as there are no other editions.

but 2013 works without question :)


message 278: by Sophie, The other one (new)

Sophie (drsophie) | 5692 comments Mod
I've picked up something from my TBR which I can start once I finish what I'm currently on.

Whoop! Although we hadn't hit too many 800+ yet.

I've updated our monster info :)


message 280: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments Nice :D

Honestly, the wheels loved the 800+ page monsters. It's a bit disturbing that it was all wheels and multiple teams


message 283: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 10123 comments Mod
The wheels are out to get us all!

Ah, this is such a relief! 😚😮‍💨


message 285: by Melindam (last edited Sep 07, 2023 05:37AM) (new)

Melindam | 8375 comments On the bright side: Cretan Bull is defeated.

On the less bright side, I got ourselves Argus with 500-650 page count (which I can cover, BTW).

Yes, these wheels are out to get us all.

ARGUS
1. 500 to 650
2. at least 2 pairs of eyes visible on cover
3. rock on cover
4. character works in protective profession (e.g., police, security guard, bodyguard)
5. "olive" found in text


message 286: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments Neither my current book, nor my next-up work for any of these.

Story of my life 😂

Ahh, a life of disappointments. 😅

Just checked, my 600+ book also has "olive" in text.


message 288: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 10123 comments Mod
Spun us a new literary one...

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


message 289: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments Yikes. Doesn't look like the easiest!

I'd read the next expanse book to cover a few of those, but it would be a week or so before I get around to it, and probably a week at least to actually read it. So if anyone can grab stuff in the meantime, please do :)


message 290: by Lexi (new)

Lexi | 4266 comments If it makes you feel any better, I was originally going to go with "anaerobe" in text but that was way to hard to find


message 291: by Sophie, The other one (new)

Sophie (drsophie) | 5692 comments Mod
I've got one that covers 4 of the 5. Just the last one missing.


message 292: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments My current print book covers the 'protective profession task', but is a 500+. I'll wait and see if another 500+ pops up between now and when I finish it and if so I'll grab that one :)


message 293: by Sammy (last edited Sep 10, 2023 10:46AM) (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments About to finish a book that has the word 'rock' in the title.

Do we think it works for 'rock on cover'? it says 'rock', not 'a rock'... 😉

Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney


message 294: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 8375 comments Personally, I love your interpretation. :D


message 295: by Melindam (new)

Melindam | 8375 comments But it would also work for white ring on cover. You can oust my Nightingale Woods book from that slot if you want. Will take me a few days to finish and it may be used for sth else.


message 296: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments I can do that, would get us a new monster tonight :D


message 297: by Cat (new)

Cat (cat_uk) | 10123 comments Mod
oooh! non-literal rocks!
how about this interpretation?
Madame Serpent (Catherine de Medici, #1) by Jean Plaidy
big ol' "rock" on her finger ??

(I've just finished it)


message 298: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments Definitely!

I was just eyeing my next book, which has some rock-hard abs... 😂


message 299: by Sammy (last edited Sep 10, 2023 12:23PM) (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments Our new human monster!

Sylar (Heroes)

500 to 650
4 in page count
MPG Paranormal
MC visits/lives in more than one country
Title starts with a letter of SYLAR


message 300: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 13023 comments I can do 1 & 4 for that one :)
