Not sure that it's husband's thing or I'd drag him that day for a birthday trip."

Mark Hamill loved it, Sophie. Just saw his post on Bluesky about it. ;)

[Sammy]

Definitely not my hubby's thing. I always have to go by myself to things like that, or with a friend if it's local.

Unfortunately it does make it trickier to justify the expense if it's "just for me"...

[Sophie, The other one]

That does complicate things, especially if it involves an overnight stay.

[Sophie, The other one]

500 to 650
MC gets lost
Shoe(s) on cover
Book has been translated into or was written in German
Author initials in IRRWURZ

Hmmm, not sure if I'm coming down with the wheel spinitis too.

[Melindam]

🤭

[Sammy]

Dang it! just finished one at 666 pages! 😭

Are we sure Judith someone isn't messing with us and has snuck in and changed all the page counts to 500+ in our SS? 😂

[Sophie, The other one]

Argh! Why didn't I spin an hour ago!

[Sammy]

I was more upset about it being 16 pages too many! 😂

[Sammy]

also, what's with all these MCs getting lost all of a sudden? we need 2 of them now!

[Melindam]

Need to read my current books and then try to find ones that may fit somewhere.

Beginning of next week the March UNO cards will be released as well.

[Sammy]

Yay! this will help with my end of month planning! 😁

Yeah that's not something that I've come across much.

Maybe we need to teach them and the monsters to map read.

How would we feel about someone whose ship was lost at sea (and then having to find their way to where they were going) for being lost?

Too stretchy? If ok, Words of Radiance will cover that task too 😁

[Melindam]

For me that covers being lost. :)

[Sophie, The other one]

Works well for me too

[Sammy]

Yay! One down, one to go!

[Melindam]

Mr Salzella

1. 100-175
2. features a theatre or Opera performance
3. Word SALT in the text
4. features ghosts
5. mask on cover or features a character wearing a mask

[Sammy]

I've got 3 & 5 with my current print read.

will be finishing the Sanderson too today.

[Melindam]

I've grabbed the theatre performance.

[Sammy]

Minotaur begone!

The Nucleus of the Swarm

1 350 to 450
2 9 in page number
3 MC has a pet
4 "shrimp" or “prawn" in text
5 Series or title starts with K

[Sophie, The other one]

I've got 1, 3 - will keep an eye out for shrimp

[Sammy]

Grabbing a quick re-read for the farming task, because that one is NOT going to come up organically 😆

[Melindam]

😆

Not really.

[Sophie, The other one]

Nope, that's not a frequent tag. Anna Karenina is one of the books that springs to mind and I'm not up for a reread!

is my next one to cover the wombat title

[Sammy]

And that's the farm done!

My next read is for my maze, because I've been on the current one an embarrassingly long time! 😆

[Dominomaj]

The cover doesn't show well, but I am re-reading . It has (mini) shoes on the cover and Dorothy gets lost. 😊

[Sammy]

Looks good! 😁

[Melindam]

So,

I'm (FINALLY!!!!) listening to Rivers of London and (mostly) loving it.

I told Sophie that for some reason as soon as Nightingale stepped onto the scene I picture him as David Bowie and it's indelible from my mind. ;)

Plus, is it me or the welcome echoes of Terry Pratchett (you know, the Bow Street Runners and other stuff, and the irony... definitely the irony, though not the same, of course!) are truly around?

(I just wish Peter Grant wasn't tripping himself up all the time some action is required. Somehow I see why he was originally headed for the Paperwork Pushing Unit. I don't wish for superman, just getting things done right occasionally even if he's just a wizard in training.)

[Sammy]

Oddly, that seems to be one of those books for me that I think I would prefer in print (which is becoming a thing with most fantasy, actually!). Not that I don't love the narrator, but I really struggled to keep focussed with that one, and print sometimes helps with that.

[Sammy]

Oh, and I will be finishing a monster size book either tomorrow or the day after, so now is the time to spin a 650+ (so naturally expecting 100-150 range!)😆

I'm actually planning to buy the next one on kindle, to test how it's working that way, plus the price os teally low. But not today in solidarity with the don't buy stuff day across the pond (I'm following Stephen King on Bluesky and that's how I learned about it.

[Melindam]

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

[Melindam]

Actually the book I'll finish soon covers all except reflective surface.

[Sammy]

Nice!

We ok with the water in this being a reflective surface?



Currently reflecting light, but water in general is pretty famously reflective...

[Melindam]

Yes, from my side :)

You asked and you shall receive...

100 to 175
Takes place in South America
Tagged indigenous 10 or more times
published in March
author or character named John or Julian

[Sammy]

LMAO! Yep, and I just finished all 1796 pages of Sherlock Holmes 😆

At least I have John!

[Sophie, The other one]

I couldn't quite believe it! Made me laugh though.

[Sammy]

honestly, story of my life... 😂

[Melindam]

😆

[Sammy]

Chased off that pesky Weatherwax woman, got something even scarier in return...

The Auditors

1 350-450
2 Grey cover (>50%)
3 Character likes order
4 Author initials found in REALITY
5 APOCALYPSE in text

[Sammy]

My current read covers #1, and maybe #3?

It also has apocalypse, but not in the story... It's in one of the "Praise for TJ Klune" bits at the start of the book.

I'm guessing that's a no-go, as not part of the story.

[Cat]

I finally finished Under Heaven, and thus The Cunning Man.
In the flush of excitement I did a silly thing, and respun....

On the plus side: it's new.
On the down side....

Yateveo
1 651+
2 Someone dies or is found dead in the first chapter
3 Set in Africa or South America (>50%)
4 Vine, snake, or string like object on cover
5 Title or author name (first or last) starts with a Y


I'm off to think hard about the error of my ways!

[Melindam]

🤣

[Melindam]

Maybe the reason I'm unwilling to finish KD 6 is b/c I've developed a spin-phobia. 🤭

[Melindam]

Would this be OK for vine-like object?

[Sammy]

I have a few chunky ones coming up. Lemme go check page counts...

[Sammy]

I grabbed #1 & #2 - Not reading it until nearer the end of the month though! (it's due for another challenge week 3, I believe)

[Sammy]

Also coming up this month are a 656 and a 536 in that same week, so don't be scared to spin 😆

They look like vines to me... Doesn't say anywhere they need to be living ones! 😉
