[Lauren]

Can I have 538 please?

[Lu]

Lol I couldn't understand why 538 was taken on my spreadsheet then I realized I was looking at 438!

538 - Read the favorite book of one of your direct family members (husband/wife or daughter/son if your married or parents or sibling if your not).

[Lauren]

Phew, good thing I didn't get married or I'd have to read some tedious philosophy novel!

Will go email my sister.

[Lauren]

My sister gave me two options, both of which will be re-reads for me. I hope that's ok?

I'll be reading either Prayers for Rain or Jane Eyre.

[Lu]

Re-read is fine :)

[Emma]

Hmm should be interesting...recommendations anyone?

[Lu]

Really great!

Really great!"

I loved that series!

[Barbara]

You could also check out authors like Christian Jacq, Lynda S. Robinson or Margaret George. The last one has also written a lot of books not set in Egypt so be carefull which you pick.

[Carolien]

Completed 174 - book with a mask on the cover. Underfoot in Show Business - my version has two masks on the cover. One of my all time favourite books - so thanks for the excuse to re-read!

Can I have 169 please?

[Carolien]

I recently read The Red Tent. The second half of the book is set in Ancient Egypt. I enjoyed it very much. It creates a story around Dinah, daughter of Jacob in Genesis.

You can also try Paul Doherty. he has a number of books set in Ancient Egypt.

[Barbara]

I have read Orchid for my task 85 - Read a cross-genre novel (fits into more than one genre, eg. fantasy mystery).

Orchid is a paranormal romance but is also science fiction and a mystery.

95 - Read a book that is set in the mountains

[Liezel]

Finished #288Cinder

Can i have 276 next

[Lauren]

I want to use my abort option on the family member task (538), not because it's tough but because I don't think I'll have the time and I can only read one of two books instead of working in one of my other reads.

So can I have task #93 please?

[Lu]

276 - Read a book Set in Scotland

93 - Read a book that has smoke on the cover, from a fire, cigarette etc.

[Barbara]

I have read the Fetch for task 115 - Read a Young Adult novel.

Could I have task 512 please?

[Lu]

512 - Read a book that has a Prominent Love Triangle in it

[Barbara]

Crap! I am way too far in reading Anna Karenina for that book to count. I will find another.

[Varla Fiona]

Finished Sandstorm for Task 537.

Please can I have Task 527 next...

[Lu]

527 - Read a book that depicts your dream vacation on the cover

[Varla Fiona]

Would this work? I think sailing in an old ship would be amazing?

[Lu]

But would you sail it for a vacation?

[Varla Fiona]

Yes, I think that would be the most awesome holiday, except maybe diving with Tiger sharks at Aliwal Shoul...

[Lu]

Then go for it :)

[Varla Fiona]

Cool, now I really wish I could go for a holiday on a boat like that...

[Barbara]

Lu, in my search for a book for my task I checked the definition of a love triangle and saw that it was quite broad. Just to be sure we are on the same page, could you tell me what you mean by it? I don't want to read a book for this task and then be told it doesn't count. :)

[Lu]

Where a man/woman is torn between 2 partners. So like in Twilight Bella loves both Edward and Jacob. Doesn't matter if there is a leaning towards one character. As long as he/she has feelings for both and at some point was leaning towards the other one.

[Barbara]

ok thanks! I thought that was what you meant. The definition includes all kinds of relationships. The first thing we think about is a romantic relationship, but the definition for example also includes familial relationships.
I am sure I have some books still around about Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn I could read.

[Lu]

Sounds like a plan :)

[Barbara]

I got lucky and one of my read for the Mishmash challenge has a prominent love triangle. So finished that task.

Can I have task 450 please?

P.s. You still have me busy on task 115, but I finished that and then got my love triangle task which is task 512 which I now also finished. Could you adjust that? Thanks!

[Lu]

450 - Read a book where shoes are prominent on the cover.

You had me very confused, because I had you busy with 512. You might have just missed it.

[Barbara]

Oops. My mistake! I saw what I did wrong. The busy with was spread out over two lines and I missed the second line. Just wanted to keep you on your toes. :)

Thanks for the task.

[Lu]

Hhehe I thought that is what happened :)

[Nadine]

Oh found the comment box.. just got the book Brave new World on my kindle, and I could not resist, I also got Blackout by Mira Grant.

[Varla Fiona]

Finished 527.

Next up, 517, please...

[Lu]

517 - Read a book written from a male POV (point of view)

[Varla Fiona]

Lu (The Muggle) wrote: "517 - Read a book written from a male POV (point of view)"

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

#507 next please.

[Lu]

507 - Read a book where the back of the character is shown prominently

[Varla Fiona]

Just to clarify, the back is shown prominently in the cover picture?

[Lu]

Correct

[Varla Fiona]

Cool, then I will use when we read it later this month. I had planned to use it for the tree book in Mishmash, but I am reading another one this month that fits for that as well.
