Also, (I guesss there may be too many formulas added already), the count doesn't pick up on the fact that we have had "Erymanthian Boar" already, so we have also read for all the Greek monsters! 🥳

And you also encourage others, not that I need much encouragement. 🤭😅

[Sammy]

Teehee!

I will probably be able to cover the page count soon, but most of my remaining books for this round are 150-200 right now.
Unless Cat or anyone else has something up their sleeveses, I will get to it in a few days I'm sure!

[Sophie, The other one]

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

Time for the other end of the book length spectrum!

[Melindam]

I think I have a New Hampshire book - will have a looksee.

...

Found it. :)

And we have a new wheel! Yaaay!

[Melindam]

I can also cover the big page count, if needed. :)

[Sammy]

Yay! New wheel!! 😁

[Cat]

Sammy - my team is not going to be pushing hard this time, if you want to join us: one of the teamies want's to be a "bad" teamie, reading for themself, so you can join on the same basis. only an idea, zero pressure x

[Sammy]

If whoever is sorting the teams this time can try not to add any known competitive people to the team and you honestly don't mind a whole load of 100-point books, then I would love to!

I just really don't want to spoil anyone else's fun!

On the plus side, I do have a 400 page U book lined up for Book quest next month, but no guarantees we'll be reading it at a time that Us may actually be useful 😂

[Cat]

I've made the note with mods - we've not decided who's IC team build yet - so do it! :)

And Danielle and I can make clear from the get go that it's relaxed time chez nous! (I'm actually minded to relaxed too, given work pressures over the AUtumn)

[Sammy]

Thanks Cat!

I'll go sign up and make sure to put a note on it so I don't accidentally end up elsewhere 😆

[Sammy]

Signed up with 25 rather than the 30, which is lowballing it a bit, but I've been reading a lot of non-fiction for turf, so might have a good few without usable letters!

[Melindam]

I asked Domi to spin our first Holiday Monster. It is...

La Calavera Catrina (Mexico)
1. 200 to 299
2. Skull on cover
3. book involves satire (your interpretation)
4. two words in title start with the same letter
5. hat on cover

Talking of Mexico...

Would you have a recommendation for a book about the Day of the Dead?

It could be fiction/non-fiction, .... maybe not horror, please. 🤭

[Cat]

There's Under the Volcano which is weird.

Lol... and with a U title. I'll take it into consideration, thank you. :)

[Cat]

And isn't Cemetery Boys featuring Day of the Dead?

[Sophie, The other one]

Does Bernadette get lost in Where'd you go? The others have lost her, but I think she knows where she is.

I'm OK with this spin. :)

[Cat]

She's pretty lost from their point of view!

[Melindam]

I've finished my India book in the morning, but haven't had time to spin.... in case someone else wants to give one of the wheels a twirl. ;)

[Sammy]

No problem!

Krampus

2 MPG Horror

[Sammy]

I've got heaps of horror coming up, but may be a week or so before I get around to any, so if anyone has anything in the meantime, have at it. but don't feel forced to find any if you don't wanna (you're safe Mel! lol)

[Melindam]

Phew.... lol

[Melindam]

[Sammy]

Oh wait... My current print book is 500 pages, and I'm not far off finishing! 😆

[Melindam]

Yaay!

[Sophie, The other one]

[Sammy]

I put a book down for 2 & 4 as well, but feel free to kick it out if anyone has anything in the nearer future!
