NEW GOAL -- Read a book that is in the "Best for Book Clubs" Listopia List (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...).
I have books for both Listopia lists so I will pick one to start tonight.
We have a boon to use by Saturday. How about booning the Africa goal? No one has mentioned having one, so I think it's the one we should get rid off.
Finished
for the Book Club listopia.NEW GOAL -- Read a book which has the main location (setting) as a known planet other than Earth.
I have no Africa book right now, so I would be all for booning that one.
I finished pages add up to 7 goalNEW GOAL: Read a book with a pair of glasses on the cover
Nothing in goalless books.
I've put request in for boon on Africa goal and it's been granted.
NEW GOAL: Read a book that is in the "Best Paranormal Romance Series" Listopia List (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/3...)
No books in goalless but I have many books that will work m
Just saw that book finished earlier works for glasses goalNEW GOAL: Read a book where the title can be found verbatum in the book text
I'm too tired to look into this goal. Goodnight
Can you seek clarification on the verbatim goal. My last read, Night Probe! By Clive Cussler had the words "night probe" exact match in the book text on p. 316. My question would be if the ! Would be required in the text for it to fulfill the goal. I suspect that the ! Would be required to fulfill "verbatim", but it might be worth asking.

I could read, but it's on my computer and I am really burnt out on screen reading right now, so it will probably take me a week. If anyone else can do it faster, please do so. :)

Don't worry either of you, just take your time and read what you want and don't worry about the goals.

It's so nice to love the book I'm reading with all the bad ones I've picked lately. And no matter how many books we read, we're never going to rocket ahead to first place :) so why not enjoy the ride.
Ha ha ! I thought you were being sarcastic, I am taking my time because the book I am reading is dreadful !
Sarah-jane wrote: "Ha ha ! I thought you were being sarcastic, I am taking my time because the book I am reading is dreadful !"HA! I do read horrible books slowly sometimes, but usually I try to power through to get them over with. But when the story is beautiful I want to savour it and not read at work when I can be interrupted. :D
The book I a reading, 221b Baker Street, has two different time lines, with different characters. In 1900, the MC, Arthur Conan Doyle, solves a mystery with his buddy Bram Stoker. Could it work for the goal "MCs are best friends"?
Not sure Ariane, sounds kind of iffy to me, I'll let el Capitain make the final decision. :DFinished a pre-1900 books.
NEW GOAL -- Read a book that your co-captain or captain has read which is on your "to read" shelf (go to the person's profile -->compare books).

I'd say probably no it wouldn't work.
The book I'm almost done with works.
All these repeat goals and they are not the easy goals either.
