YAY y'all, all the goals are covered again. I'll have the ship goal done tonight but maybe when I go to bed, so I'll get us a new goal for that by morning at the latest. I might get back to it here soon, it's been quite the interesting book ~ an alternate history book about Titanic.

New Goal~ Read a book where the edition you are reading was published on the 22th of a month
--------
went through all the goalless, again (got them typed out now) and none are the 22nd. Plenty of 21 & 23. Sigh!
Read a book where the edition you are reading was published on the 16th of a month. I finished this one. I have one that will fit the published on the 22 goal.

Morning y'all. I'm up and about. We have 3 goals we can fill, I'll be doing that in a few and will be back. :)

New Goal~ Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as fun - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable
-----
I didn't check every book for this, just the ones I thought it could be. If you think any that you read (that are goalless) may fit, please feel free to check.

So! I went out in the snow with my Hubbies jacket. It was soooooooo much fun, until I hurt myself. I'm SUCH a klutz, I could tell you stories. My birth monster is WAY worse, those are some tales. :)Anyways, all this is to say I jammed my thumb. It hurts but isnt broken. No long winded (my usual) typing for me right now. Doing this one handed which sucks, but I still type faster than my Hubby with 2 hands. LOL!!
Now, gonna copy / paste this everywhere, since it took near 5 minutes to type. :/
That sucks, Karsyn! I hope that heals soon.
Thanks Kerri. It's feeling better, thankfully. More of an ache then the constant pain. Hopefully I won't bang it up too much in my sleep tonight. I may wrap it up to be safe.
New Goal~ Read a book where a character can see or feel ghosts
--------
Anyone have this covered already? I looked at a few books, but didn't see anything. We're headed to bed soon, so I can look more in morning.

I'm reading a book right now where the characters are psychic and can feel spirits or some kind of energy. It hasn't been fully named as a ghost but I'm not sure what else it would be?
Finished my most recent book, 80 more points.
New Goal~ Read a book where two people with different religions interact

Ok, I think I'm officially giving up on the goals. We keep getting crap now. :( Was hoping to fill in a few with the Fun goal done and we get this ~ New Goal
~ Read a book with the phrase "Have a kitten" in a book
---------
I'll look but I don't think I've ever seen that, as the idiom means it. Everyone read quickly, so we can end this! :D
I am almost finished with my current book. Will probably have time for another before bed tonight.
M wrote: "I am almost finished with my current book. Will probably have time for another before bed tonight."Yay! I'm getting a little booked out but I'm pushing through. :) I liked how I did it this time, slower at the start and a bigger push at the end. I didn't get burned out early on and read more books than I have in TT or WaT than I have before. :)
Of course after it's done, I think I'll just use a long audio at night before bed and not read an ebook for a while. :)
I'll try to finish my next before the comp is over
Didn't quite make it today. :( Keep reading all!!New Goal

Sort your "to read" shelf by 'date added' and read a book that is within Numbers 51-100 on your list (the first column before the book cover image)Just posted my most recent book. I will take this goal.
Almost there!!! Read just a little more today!! :DNew Goal (Filled in 4 before this one.)
~ Read a book where the title starts with the letter J (Karsyn) about to start
---------------
Depending on what we read today, this will be done today/tomorrow, so any goals should probably only be taken if you can read it quickly. But, books completed is the most important thing right now, for the points.

My current book is 40 pts. I should be done by 12:30-1ish (my time).
If none finished prior, my book will put us over 25000! :)
About a half hour more for me.
I double-checked but none of my read books covers any of the open goals...

WELL DONE y'all!! Well done!Thanks for being a great reading team!! We did sooooo great. Great job!!
Kudos goes especially to M, who helped us along by reading a whopping 137 books!!! Amazing job M!! Victoria was our BOM guru, having read and participated in 10 BOM.
Great job everyone! Thanks so much for reading so much and working together to keep Anubis on top!!
Awesome!!! Congrats everyone! I am sort of sad that it is over but have been wanting to read some less than 100 page books and graphic novels. I still have to read Cress and Winter since I got to write DQs for Winter BOM in 2 days...
When is Tower Team V Challenge, lol?
