Oh well, I will still read the book. That goal might be pretty hard to find a book to fit.

Allison, will this one work ?https://www.goodreads.com/work/shelve...

hi. ,just checking in. not much reading happening due to being so busy . we are off to do the polar express this weekend. I will be able to get some reading done in the car..yippee. I feel so behind!

Yes Donna, that one works. Do you think you will read that one? If you can, I think we should boon the befriending animal book instead. :)

I finished my published on the 17th book instead of my ship book (I'll finish that one tomorrow).

NEW GOAL -- Read a book with the phrase "Devil's Advocate" in a book.

We don't have this phrase in our goalless books. Bummer!

Sure, that is one of my fav series and I don't think I read that one.

Read a book where 2 characters have the same first name -- Wolf Hall had every single person named Thomas, Henry, Mary or Anne. :D Too bad we used that one already.

Yep and I just finished it so you can mark that one completed.

Awesome Donna, I just finished my ship book so I'll go get us a couple of new goals.

NEW GOAL -- Read a book that contains the word asparagus.

NEW GOAL -- Read a book where a character is a dentist.

I can't believe that the book I just finished reading would have worked for the goal we used the boon on the morning (the befriend animal). I had been meaning to read it all week, just didn't get around too. It doesn't matter, just weird that we had nothing when the goal was here and we get rid of it and find book that would have worked.

Figures. :)

I found asparagus in LaLine's recipe book, but still looking for dentist. :)

NEW GOAL -- Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as adult - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable.

Donna - the info on your Zombies in Love book now says that characters share a name (Donna) does that mean that a character has your name or there are two characters named Donna? :)

NEW GOAL -- Read a book where MCs hate each other at the beginning.

Donna - Any chance works for this goal? Lots of questions for you today. :D

The info Donna put on that book is - one of the characters shares my first name

Yes, Kendall & Courtney hate each other in the beginning but work things out later when Kendall saves Courtney.

Maybe one of you will have two characters with the same name in your book? Or a dentist? ;)

I just had an odontologist show up in my book, they'll accept that for dentist. I should be done tonight.

Go for it, Sarah-jane. I still can't believe that in the entire book they didn't call him Santa once! Not even as he was preparing to deliver the first Christmas toys at the end of the book. LOL

Really frustrating Donna ! But it's ok, I am not even half way through my book (lots of working this WE --') and they have already used "Santa" a couple of times ;)

I have to read my lowest rated book in a few days anyway, if no one else wants that one.

I do have a book for this goal - Read a book that has a number in the title with a series number one higher than that number.

One Kiss with a Rock Star (Half-Life #2). However I won't get to it for a few days, so if anyone has one before that. Go ahead and take it.

I saved a book for that goal all through last GG, but we never got it and I gave up and read it last month. :)
