Yeah, I saw it earliear on DT's facebook page and loved it.
Also the one for last year was hilarious. π
Love that video of DT! Looks like he did a fab job of hosting.
I've got a few things on the go currently so I'm not going to reserve any of the tasks for a minute so that I don't slow everything down!

Monster Hunters' Anthem
**Monster Hunters' Anthem**
(Verse 1)
Through the dark and misty night,
Monsters rise, a fearsome sight.
But we stand, so brave, so bold,
Armed with books, both new and old.
(Chorus)
Pages turn, the shadows break,
Words of wisdom, spells awake!
No sharp blades, no heavy steel,
Knowledge strikesβthe beasts must kneel.
(Verse 2)
Ancient texts and secret lore,
Seal the beasts forevermore.
Every line, a binding chain,
Monsters fall, they scream in vain.
(Chorus)
Pages turn, the shadows break,
Words of wisdom, spells awake!
No sharp blades, no heavy steel,
Knowledge strikesβthe beasts must kneel.
(Verse 3)
In the libraryβs sacred halls,
Magic echoes through the walls.
Scrolls of power, words untamed,
Legends write the monstersβ fate.
(Bridge)
Fear no darkness, fear no fight,
Books will bring eternal light!
(Chorus)
Pages turn, the shadows break,
Words of wisdom, spells awake!
No sharp blades, no heavy steel,
Knowledge strikesβthe beasts must kneel!

Need to pick up Emily Wilde 2 for the BOM, but unfortunately it doesn't work for any of the pending tasks (of course ;) .
And Fellowship will work for dwarf, just need to get there.
Then it depends on the April Mini. ...

- Takes place in Korea, Japan, or Taiwan
- A painting or photo on cover
- Authors initials in WORSHIP

Either it was our wonky connection or it had its own struggles with Bel-Shamharoth. π

Japan would normally be an easy one for me, but all my outstanding TBR are print, and I have too many of those lined up already right now. Once we're in May, I have more options.
The series one could be a yes from me, depending in UNO mini tasks!

Deleted that task from our list. :)

And I checked kobo ebook prices for my wishlist and found that 90% of those books are much cheaper there. So I registered and just went on an Easter spree.
