25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS

NEW GOAL
☃ Day 20 - Read a book with hot chocolate on the cover for 10 points!

Finished a christmas song last night. I have a hot chocolate book to read if no one else does.

Finished late last night. This book dragged on for me and I'm glad I am done. yeah, a series done too!

Off to add it to the books read thread and see if it fits into any goals.

I've nothing for that one. These Christmas goals are getting harder.

I've a book for the Celtic Gods goal.

My book starting with "one" is not great so it is taking me awhile, but I haven't been able to find another one so I will finish eventually. I have a peridot book almost done and then I'll start the hot chocolate.

Finished - didn't like it. Is there a goal to find the stupidest character in literary history, because we should save this book for that one.

It would make more sense than the "unreliable narrator" goal. :)

Good morning teammates! I should be done my peridot book in a few hours and then I will read something else for points. :D Hope you are all reading something enjoyable.

Ariane could you please put L'Enfant des cimetières on your TT shelf when you get a moment, thanks!

I finished the Celtic God book (Night Embrace). The spreadsheet app is being a pain and not opening so can't fill in goal as complete and get a new one yet.

I'm doing goals now.

(Forgot to post this morning)

Morning all. Not much reading today - Christmas baking and a Doctor Who marathon instead. :D I'm almost done American Gods though and the book starting with "one". I have books I can read for a picture frame and a dna helix, but I probably won't get to those until Christmas Day. Haven't had a chance to sort through my Christmas books yet so not sure if I have any of the Christmas goals but I think we still have two weeks to finish those.

Hope everyone has a great Christmas Eve eve. :)

I have and it is on that list. I will read it after I read the last couple books I have for other December challenges.

Awesome Donna! I finally found a north-america book that I can pick up tomorrow and I should be done the DNA book by morning. We're so close to finishing the 25 Days of Christmas also.

I have a picture frame book if no one else is reading one.

Sounds good LaLine. I just finished the DNA book and I"ll get a new goal in a minute. I'll be reading the shelved as north-america book today if I have time - Boxing Day is generally crazy busy but it is a short book.

NEW GOAL -- Read a book where a character has an unusual sidekick.
