Not updated spreadsheet

I found a book for the "teacher character" task. I will listen to that one next because I have let it expire and rejoined the wait list at my library like 3 times now and it's a favorite author of mine.



It's on the spreadsheet. Also works for eerie/scary cover (I think) if Jan doesn't read her book for that and you want to use it there instead.

Also found a "bottle on cover"





It's on the spread sheet and on my reading list for this week.

I'm about to finish We Need to Talk About Kevin but can't find a task to fit it in. I though eery/scary cover, but I think that's been taken already

I don't suppose the characters of a book being targeted by the god of war Aries counts as being "under siege?"

Chava...I think Jan has tge scary cover...Jan if after you finish reading it works somewhere else we can use Chavas too. In the meantime Chava...if this doesn’t work anywhere else be sure to give us possible letters for MCs so we can use for Char spells...just like you’ve been doing.

We could also consider using it in a relay...it would probably need to be book one...is there a book out there that starts with ‘Kevin’ on anyone’s shelf? Or ends in ‘we’?...both a long shot I know...

"

I looked up ‘seige’...if you can describe any of these defs... it works as far as I’m concerned:

a military operation in which enemy forces surround a town or building, cutting off essential supplies, with the aim of compelling the surrender of those inside.
"Verdun had withstood a siege of ten weeks"

synonyms: blockade, encirclement
"the siege of the fort lasted into the morning"
an operation in which a police or other force surround a building and cut off supplies, with the aim of forcing an armed person to surrender

I don’t know if re-reads are eligible, but I read Kevin & Chelsea in Apr.. if it’s okay, I could re-read it.

They are eligible...but no sooner than from 6 mos last read. Nice thought though

I cannot find a spot. Maybe only Deathly hallows, task 4, "under siege" - MC's family, roommates, friends and boyfriend think she is crazy, killed someone and tried to kill another person, so they want to put her in mental institution

To Help with the "Seven" in a series book, I searched and found these

The Demon King (Seven Realms, #1)
The Seven Sisters (Seven Sisters, #1)
Vain (The Seven Deadly, #1)
Seven Years (Seven, #1)
Blood Brothers (Sign of Seven, #1)
The Secret Seven (The Secret Seven, #1 144 pgs, childrens)

Anyone think these sound good and want to try? I've read Blood Brothers. Nora Roberts

As I start to plan my books for the next couple of weeks, I realize I'm not sure when this challenge ends

I took my book out of the spot for eerie/scary cover and moved it to story within the novel. I think someone recently mentioned having a possible eerie cover.

Okay thanks! :)

I have several eerie covers if there's nothing ready to put in there.

I think Chava had an eerie cover that will work...I'll look through later and switch things around a bit for this.

Wish me luck ladies...my snitch duties start about now! I'm very nervous to live up to Maddy and Ashley's success with this ((((yogo breathing exercises commencing))))

It is actually funny that in all three games Team Minerva were seekers. We have obviously found our "thing" :D
