Countdown to end of toppler

Read Haunted Destiny which could count for either romance or mystery, whichever we need.

I finished Cocaine Blues for the set between 1900 and 1950 task.

EDIT: Added +5 for a main character named Dorothy.

I finished Mystery of the Ivory Charm
Scarecrow task - Children's book

I finished The Vow: The Kim and Krickitt Carpenter Story for book into movie.

I finished Sin and Sensibility for the royalty task.

Please make sure to note if your book meets any of the additional points requirements.

Extra points
5 extra points if the book is The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
5 extra points if the MC is named Dorothy.
5 extra points if the book is Halloween related.
5 extra points is the shoes are red.

I finished Tropical Secrets: Holocaust Refugees in Cuba for the set in 1900-1950 task.

I finished Take the Monkey and Run for Toto or the Cowardly Lion or mystery. Probably mystery is the simplest.
The two animals on the cover are a Capuchin monkey and a dog named Moss. Both are important characters in the story. Arguably, the dog is a common animal (though he is half timber wolf) and arguably the monkey is a wild animal, except he seems fairly domesticated. So let's go with mystery. Ding, Dong the Witch is Dead.

Seventy points already! Way to go, Flying Monkeys!!

Finished Burying the Honeysuckle Girls which could be.. book about family or mystery or took place between 1900-1950 (half of it does)

I just finished Ruse & Romance for Tin Man.

I just finished Lucas which qualifies for the tin man, romance.
It is also full of werewolves and vampires... Halloween related?

Not unless it takes place around Halloween or has some other strong connection.

I finished The Perfect Wife which qualifies for the tin man, romance.

I read The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight for YA.

I finished The Immortals. I had wanted it to count for the scarecrow but it had a professor rather than a student as a main character. so I suppose it could count for "Follow the Yellow Brick Road/You're Off to See the Wizard" – Read a fantasy book instead.

Finished Paw Enforcement for the Toto - Read a book with a 'common' animal as a main or secondary character. (dog, cat, rabbit, duck, horse, pig, etc) task.

Finished Halfway to the Grave for "Follow the Yellow Brick Road/You're Off to See the Wizard" – Read a fantasy book .

Finished The Radetzky March. Can go in classic, between 1900-1950, or royalty character categories.

Finished That Old Flame of Mine for mystery.

Just added another 100 points!! We are now up to 175 total!

Hello! Finished Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage... it's a nonfiction

I finished Cappuccinos, Cupcakes, and a Corpse for the "Ding, dong the witch is dead task" read a mystery.

I finished In the Spinster's Bed

I finished and loved it. I think this one will count for Ruby Slippers - Read a book with a pair of shoes on the cover and maybe 5 extra points if the MC is named Dorothy. Waiting for a ruling on that since Dorothy is the villain rather than the protagonist in the story, I'm not sure if that counts...

Edit: Yes! Counting the extra 5 points for Dorothy - so 15 points for this one.

I finished Under Different Stars which qualifies for Dorothy Gale - Read a YA book

I finished Picture the Dead It could be horror or family or romance or young adult

I finished Dreams of Gods & Monsters
No 'common animal' in my book o_0
"Read a book with a wizard, magician, or confidence man as a main character". Plenty of that in my book!

I have finished Southern Spirits, which qualifies as either a mystery or fantasy.

I finished Accidentally Overweight: The 9 Elements That Will Help You Solve Your Weight-Loss Puzzle for the nonfiction task.

Up to 270 points!! Way to go team! Keep up the good work!

Reporting catch up from the new monkey:

I've read Black Beauty which counts for a classic or the common animal since its told through the eyes of a horse

and The Sisterhood which counts for Scarecrow he lacks a brain as the main character is a student working on her college thesis.

Sadly no bonus points achieved with these though so just the 20 points for me so far.

Finished listening to A Kiss Before Dying for the Book that was made into a movie task. I could only find it in audio form in my library, I usually prefer reading the book myself, but I made it work. This book also has a MC named Dorothy so 10 + 5 points for this one.

Finished Beauty and the Clockwork Beast
It could count as sci fi... steampunk counts as scifi, right?
It could also be family, romance or mystery... there is also an earl as a MC.. if that counts for royalty.

Ok! Finished The Wicked Will Rise. So this one should count for YA or the Wizard category for 10 points plus 5 for MC named Dorothy.

I finished The Skeleton in the Closet, for fantasy or mystery. (It's a mystery, but many of the characters are ghosts.)

Finished The Gentleman for fantasy.

Finished Where Things Come Back for YA.

And I've just finished Tea Time For The Traditionally Built for "Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead" – mystery book.

We're doing great! Keep going, Monkeys! We still have one day left. (I'm not sure where the rest of the week went!)





Countdown to end of toppler

And I've finished my fourth and last with Katharine Hepburn for "If I Only Had a Brain" – nonfiction book

Again no bonus points but every little helps!

Thanks to my motorbike addiction and this weekend's Malaysian GP I have somehow managed to finish another book with Lost City of the Incas for a book that takes place between 1900 and 1950.

Now that really is my last one...

Haha Sam, we won't mind if it really isn't your last. ;)

Finished Yellow Brick War. I suppose we can count this one as "Follow the Yellow Brick Road/You're Off to See the Wizard" – Read a fantasy book and also add 5 points for a character named Dorothy.

Finished Deux soeurs pour un roi, which qualifies for a book into a movie

Just finished Gateway to Fourline. I wasn't sure what to expect but I really enjoyed it. It is a fantasy and I believe also a YA

I finished On the Island for romance.

I finished Last Call at the Nightshade Lounge for fantasy. Also qualifies for bonus points as a Halloween book.

It could count as any of those.
