I guess my The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will work for some tasks. Possibly multiple murders? 😀

Or maybe character has followers? Will see.

[Sammy]

I'm guessing multiple murders is a very likely fit 😆

[Melindam]

😄

[Cat]

I've got three of the Deep-Downers covered with current books :)

I should finish those claims this evening, so will look at what cape options I might have..

[Melindam]

awesome 😊

[Melindam]

I found a book set in the 1950s, but it's blue cover, so I'm kind of unwilling to use it until I know that someone from my UNO Team may cover that particular colour card. 😅

But I guess it'll turn out soon enough.

[Melindam]

And I just found a shortie audible + with a bearded guy on cover. The Hebridean Baker: Recipes and Wee Stories from the Scottish Islands.

I will move my Oxford book which I'll also finish today for the page count to do away with Ardent sooner.

[Cat]

OK, I'll pick up after I finish How Much of These Hills Is Gold

There's some epic billowing of cape/cloak. plus handy shortness - my alternative option was

[Melindam]

Ardent has been submerged in the Deep, and I'm truly sorry, but I span/spinned(?) another doorstopper.

Gilles de Rais (France)
1. 651+
2. Takes place in France
3. MPG Children
4. 1 and 4 in page count
5. published in October

[Cat]

spun, generally. god bless English & its regular predictableness!

and the spinner, which has a mind of its own! :(

[Melindam]

🤭

[Cat]

I've grabbed France :)

[Sammy]

I'm hoping to finish my huge one tonight. Hubby is away all day, so hopefully I'll be able to get it done.

Hoping to finish the Murukami tomorrow and then I'll have a looksee what else I've got.

[Melindam]

If someone happens to have "fire on cover", feel free to oust Domi's book (it may go for the Children MPG instead). School mid term is just finishing and he has a lot on his plate, so his reading has slowed down.

[Sammy]

Ok, have done some digging through my tbr, and am not seeing any university-based stuff on there. I do have fire though!

[Melindam]

How about Oxford setting? :)

And as I was asking I just realised that I have The Subtle Knife for that. So I can put Death in the Spires for University and read The Subtle Knife for Oxford?

[Sammy]

I can dig some more, but I think I've read all the ones I had in my tbr.

This not being able to buy books thing is starting to annoy me now 😆

[Melindam]

🤭

I can claim it, no worries. Will borrow The Subtle Knife from my brother.

[Cat]

Cleared off the cloak, got us a new one, and a new spot for Domi's Hobbit , which is at least two, surely? (I'd assume dragon tagging), and possibly 3 with a page count :)

Basilisk (HP)
1 250-300
2 Hidden passageway/door/room in book
3 "Tagged ""dragon"" (5 or more times)"
4 ROOSTER in the title (all -- multiple O and R required!)
5 Author initials (all) are in PETRIFIED

[Melindam]

Thank, Cat.

I'll check out the Dragon tag. :)

Tagged "dragons" 1447 times. That'll suffice. 😉

And of course hidden passageway/doorway is there.
🤭
Though our HU edition is an annotated one, so it's over 300.

[Sammy]

Chased off Clifford, moving on to:

Wintersmith

1 350-450
2 Season in the title
3 character lives in a palace
4 someone is under a spell
5 all letters in SMITH found in the title

[Sammy]

I'm also almost done with my fire book.

[Melindam]

I will claim 1950s setting but won't start before 1 Feb, so it can be kicked out if something turns up sooner.

[Sammy]

And Nero done, replacing with:

Adipose

1 100 to 175
2 "diet" in text
3 Reunion of some type important to plot
4 Published in January
5 Cute cover (your interpretation)

[Sammy]

I'm just starting a 106 pager! Will see what else fits.

ETA: don't think anything else fits.

[Dominomaj]

I finished The Hobbit and I loved it!🎉

[Melindam]

Woo-hoo!! So proud of you. 🥰🥳

Cat,

is there any type of reunion in your Mary Barton book? If yes, let's slot it for that task, too.

My Amber Spyglass may only be the 3rd book only, I'll be reading for UNO/the Tolkien challenge.

[Sammy]

I've got a reunion I just finished!

[Sammy]

ACK!

Silurians

1 200 to 299
2 Book 3 in a series
3 Reptile on cover (turtles, snakes, lizards, alligators and crocodiles)
4 Features a detective from before 1960's
5 Tagged FF (at least 10 times)

[Melindam]

My Amber Spyglass can go under book 3. :))

[Sammy]

I do have an AC coming up during UNO, and the Sarah Waters I'm currently reading has FFx17, but no reptiles, I'm afraid!

[Dominomaj]

I joined Mum's UNO team as reserve player (very excited 😁).

I will re-read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
It will work for page count 200-299 and siblings.

[Melindam]

Gilles de Rais is gone

Gremlin
1. 200 to 299
2. Trickster character (your interpretation)
3. MPG Historical Fiction
4.2nd in a series
5. Author first or last name starts with R, A ,or F

[Sammy]

I've grabbed Historical fiction, but it also works for set in the 1950s in case you're not too bothered about reading for that one 😁

[Melindam]

Sammy wrote: "I've grabbed Historical fiction, but it also works for set in the 1950s in case you're not too bothered about reading for that one 😁"

Oh, please put it there, Sammy!!! 😍

I'll get to reading that one, but it'll take some time.

---------------

Update: I have moved your book for 1950s setting. 😁

[Sammy]

Okie dokie. I'll be finishing it tomorrow 😁

[Sammy]

1950s book done! Even better on a re-read. 😁

[Melindam]

😍

[Melindam]

Gremlin is gone, but .... terribly sorry 😣

Dragon King of Arms
1. 500 to 650
2. Text mentiones a heraldic beast (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categor... )
3. a character gets poisoned
4. letters GOLEM in title
5. a family tree is included in the book

[Sammy]

I'm currently on a 544! 😁

[Melindam]

Yaaayyy! 😊

[Melindam]

Think I should also step away slowly from spinning the wheels:

Charybdis
1. 651+
2. Author's name (first or last) starts with one of the letters in POOL
3. MC is forced to make a hard choice (your interpretation)
4. fig in title or text
5. characters take a boat trip (of any type)

[Cat]

good grief woman! what are you doing to us?! don't you know it's UNO and we are generally avoiding massive tomes!

I've just finished Geneva, and sad to say, but writing is not Richard's forte :(
but it does fit poisoned char, so that's a win!

[Melindam]

😶‍🌫️

Don't I know it???


Sorry.... 😳

I'm only hoping Sammy will save us with Kushiel's Dart.

[Sophie, The other one]

I'm being a bad UNO team member and reading this which is 750p works for 2, 5 and 3 as well. So just need 4.
