I've got a book in the wings that will take place at least part in tasmania, but won't know how much until I read it. Probably won't get around to it until July.

[Sammy]

The book I just finished works for the folklore task. yay!

[Melindam]

Sorry,

none of my current books seems to fit anything at the moment. 😥

[Sammy]

It happens. I don't use more books than I do, by quite a margin 😆

[Melindam]

OK, just realised that my upcoming book will cover a page count task.

[Melindam]

Added a few books to the sheet, but feel free to kick out any of them if you have finished books that fit! 😊

[Sammy]

So I just finished Wild Dark Shore, which is set on an island halfway between Tasmania and Antarctica. It is described as technically belonging to Tasmania, as that's the nearest landmass.
There are also a few flashbacks set on the Tasmanian mainland too.

We ok with using that for the task? I do have that other one possibly next month, but until I read it, I won't know how much of the book is set there.

[Melindam]

I'm OK. 😊

[Sammy]

I'll pop it in. Happy to move if our moddish teamies veto 😉

[Sammy]

Finished off Black Caesar

Just for something different:

The Cunning Man

1 500 to 650
2 Fire on the cover
3 MC identifies as male
4 character is infatuated with someone/something
5 a hate crime is committed (your interpretation)

[Sammy]

All currently unclaimed tasks:

-Takes place in Caribbean

-food item on cover
-500 to 650
-Fire on the cover
-MC identifies as male

[Sammy]

heading off to audible+ to see what I can find for the ones left open a while...

ETA: found one set in Cuba

[Melindam]

Grabbed MC identifies as male / char infatuated with my current book. :)

Maybe hate crime will be fitting as well. Need to read a bit further.

[Melindam]

Moved my books about a bit, took the 500-650 page count as well and that covers hate crime.

[Melindam]

Are we OK with the Spanish version Juan for "character named John"? 🤭

[Cat]

I am, Mel

[Cat]

I'm going to pickup that Hungarian book Mel's always recommending, covering off that task 😊

[Melindam]

😊

Thank you, then I'm switching books for that one.

[Melindam]

Cat wrote: "I'm going to pickup that Hungarian book Mel's always recommending, covering off that task 😊"

😁

Which one? (There must be several I'm trying to palm off on you. 🤭)

[Sammy]

You feeling better Cat?


I can have a look for food on cover once I finish my current book this afternoon/evening.

[Cat]

Bother, no. It's Pendragon Legend, which is set in UK.

But I've the ability to switch up for one set in Hungary....

[Melindam]

If someone has a book for character identifies as male, just feel free to kick out mine.

I'll finish, but struggling with it. One of the few Heyer books where she went for an infantile female MC and I kind of loathe her.

Also, my HOBART in title book will be a slow read as I need to wait for the current TT travel itinerary to complete before finishing that one.

I am feeling better, after a few days near death and then some more with malfunctioning brain...
Still a bit coughy and spluttery, but that's just annoying now

Glad you're heading in the right direction at least!

[Sammy]

Was looking for food on cover, but found a jane Yellowrock shortie that fits BLOOD BATH 😁

Sending you hugs!

❤️

[Sammy]

finished the food item and blood bath.

I also found a fire on cover with a male MC, so I'll swap that one out Mel 😁

[Melindam]

Great!! Thank you. :)

[Sammy]

The Cunning man was less cunning than advertised, so we're on to...

H. H. Holmes (Chicago)

1 500 to 650
2 Takes place in a state on the Great Lakes (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin)
3 author first and last initial is the same
4 character goes to fair, amusement park, carnival, etc
5 MC moved/moves to a new city/town

[Sammy]

I've got 1, 4 & 5 with my current book!

[Sammy]

Were you planning on reading a book set in Hungary, Cat?

If not, I'm currently listening to one set in Poland.

[Cat]

I'm reading one by a Hungarian author but set in UK.... so Poland is excellent!

Really need to get the Berry Pickers BOM off my plate first though in any case.

[Sammy]

Ok, I'll drop it in and we should have another new one in an hour or so 😁

[Sammy]

Elizabeth Bathory has gone off to make way for:

Anula of Anuradhapura (Sri Lanka)

1 500 to 650
2 Takes place in Sri Lanka
3 A queen is important to the plot
4 Set somewhere that starts with the letter A
5 "poison" in text

[Sammy]

So typically, I just read a book set in Sri Lanka a couple of days ago 😂

[Melindam]

Anyone with an author/char named John?

If yes, I could cover 1, 3 & 5 for this.

[Sammy]

I'm sure I can chuck in a John if nobody else has one... May be a day or 2, just starting a chunky one!

[Sammy]

In fact, I just finished one by John Wyndham on the 17th, and don't think I used it anywhere!

[Melindam]

Awesome! 😊

[Sophie, The other one]

What was the Sri Lanka book? Might be one I can pick up in a couple of days when I finish my current read (that doesn't work for any of the open tasks)

[Sammy]

The Pavilion in the Clouds. I rather enjoyed it!

[Cat]

Also Sri Lanka: Brotherless Night, which was well written but also about the oppression of the Tamils and civil war / insurrection so not light hearted

[Melindam]

For Scylla, I removed my book as I just realised that we need the word "fire" and not just the letters.

[Melindam]

Can this get away with pretending to be teal? Not really?

[Cat]

it's the bluest teal I've seen for a good long while!

[Melindam]

Hungry Grass

1 100 to 175
2 MC mentions being hungry or finding food is important to the plot
3 Title starts with letter in GRASS
4 Someone finds a corpse

2. skull on cover
3. takes place in Europe
4. author initials WS or SW
5. MPG school

[Sammy]

I'm currently on an 800+ book set in NZ, so naturally it won't fit anywhere 😆

This month's genre is Historical fiction, so unsurprisingly I have a few real chonkers lined up 😁
