Awesome, thanks!

I'm reading a Sookie Stackhouse book, so I could definitely cover the character is a werewolf goal ... I don't know how long it will take me to finish though, so if someone else can get to it faster, that's fine.

Sounds good Tara!

NEW GOAL -- Read a book which has the main location (setting) as a prison or concentration camp.

Danielle - would work for this goal?

There is some time in prison, but I wouldn't say it the main setting.

That's what I figured - back to the drawing board.

I have a book to read in which they are in a prison ship in space. Think that will work?

I don't see why not, it's prison. :)

There was a werewolf in book I finished

NEW GOAL: Read a book that has been turned into a TV show

I finished Death on the Nile for the goal "Read a book that your co-captain or captain has read which is on your "to read" shelf" and I just loved it!
I have watched the movie years ago and didn't remember everything and I really enjoyed that story.
Guess what I'll watch tonight?

In L'homme aux cercles bleus, one character, a detective (Danglard), is an alcoholic

Great Ariane. I'll update now and get new goals.

I finished a book for this goal a couple of hours ago, but again as has been happening lately around this time spreadsheet is not working properly so I can't update to get a new goal. I'll check again in a bit, but it's not normally back until middle of night my time.

I finished last night, and also finally finished the audiobook of this morning. I don't think either counts for any current goals though I'm afraid!

I'm sure they will count for future goals at some point.

So, here we go!

Same rules apply, but before you start this puzzle, you must have already completed your previous puzzle and spell-it-outs. (and remember, once done those books are locked in and can't be moved).

This time those teams that were at the top of the overall leader board as at Jan1 receive puzzle AA, the middle puzzle A and the lowest puzzle B.
Good luck!

I am a bit late on this mini-challenge thing, so for the "spell-it-out" we need a book per letter of each answer, is that right ?
