Don't worry I just went through. Nothing :( I was hoping we would have one but can't see any

Thanks Megan. I thought we would have one. So annoying I have read three V titles but all have been used. Going to check my Calibre now.

Awesome, I should have the chick lit one down. I'm reading Size 12 Is Not Fat but its just so tedious. I'm struggling lol

Sorry your book is boring, I have read some shockers recently. OK I have another V title I have been wanting to read.

Request for the Co-Captains: I did Rock Courtship on audio. Unfortunately it is coming up as 4 pages instead of the 125 pages the book is, so the spreadsheet isn't giving any points. Can you all do a page override on that one? It only gets us 5 points, but...

Awesome thanks. :-) Thanks for letting us know the next day, I hadn't had time to check yet :)

I've been through so many of my 'to-read' books and I cannot find one single 'hard cover' popular shelf. I went onto popular shelves (I googled 'popular shelves') and still cannot find anything. That may be the boon goal...

I also went through everyone else's spreadsheets to find if they had had this goal before and none had - lucky us!

Right I'm off to bed wooo :-) talk to you guys later on. 12 hours left now before the boon expires btw!

Is anyone reading a Santa in the text as I can cover it.

We have a new goal read a book with a body part in the title . I am waiting to hear back from the mods if we can use

Ellie I don't know if you are planning to read but it has Mini Golf in it and it is approved for the golf goal. I can read it if you don't plan to.

Can anyone think of anything for the character given a last chance ?

I am going to check the books I need to read for anothe challenge see if any of the it the hardcover goal.

I have used our boon for the hardcover one I just can't seem to find anything.

My son has a belt grading I won't be back until later.

I will finish my Santa book while I am out.

Which Xmas goals have we completed? Can we add a note after them to declare the complete?

Megan wrote: "Which Xmas goals have we completed? Can we add a note after them to declare the complete?"

What do you mean Meg? They should show on the spreadsheet and its above on the thread with strikes through which our christmas goals done. :-)

Ahh the strike through doesn't show up in the app then. Sorry.

Megan wrote: "Ahh the strike through doesn't show up in the app then. Sorry."

Ahh. I did put names next to the goals but I suppose that isnt clear. I didnt realise the strikes didnt show up on the app. I'll try to figure out a way to show it better.

°Read a book with the word soldier, army, war or battle (plurals are acceptable) in the title Meg

Meg does that show up any better for you. I don't use the app so I have no clue.

The bold shows up and italics show up.

Do you want us to put completed beside it if the strike out isn't showing ? They are showing up in the spreadsheet now. I am happy to do anything that makes it easier for you.

It's cool. I can check the spread sheet. I just want to make sure I know what's being covered and what's not

Not a problem. The fourth 25 Days of Tower Teams goal is not currently not on the spreadsheet. I have asked the Mods about it. I have completed a book that works for it.

Currently the only book anyone has directly claimed is the soldier/war one you are working on.

The latest one is hard to determine I was thinking of Megan's And Then There Were None as that has been very popular.

A Court of Thorns and Roses is very popular also.

I went with A Court of Thorns and Roses as Rebecca is right, that one has been popping up all over the place, I still haven't read it,.

Ah good. I must admit I haven't seen it around that much.
I cannot read the American Gods book its so hard to read. :( I'm trying so hard but its just so slow and meh. :(

Thanks Ellie that is great, I thought you might have it since you finished Vampire Academy and it showed up when I searched my Kindle for golf.

The latest 25 Days of Tower Teams Goal is

Read a book with a green cover for 10 points!

Of our other goals Meg is covering the War one, Ellie the golf one, I am reading a book for the yelllow dress. that leaves the Dystopian one and Read a book where someone is given a last chance.

I have a couple I can pick from for the Dystopian read. I'll start one--or go back to The Bone Season--but I'm a slower reader, so someone else may finish one before me.

BOM question: We can read the book ahead of time, we just don't get the BOM points when we answer the questions later in the month, correct? I got Uprooted early from the Library and just wanted to make sure I can go ahead and start it.

I finished Pretty Girls early and just took notes on an index card about how I felt after major stuff, then I was able to answer questions by remembering how I felt without knowing the end.

My book will cover the "last chance" goal. Each one in the series is about a soul being given one last chance to save itself

Karen you are right. They do fit perfectly but every book you have read so far has been used for a goal. If you read book 5 at some point that will work.

I am reading for the Turkey/cover I had it planned this month for another challenge anyway just moving it forward.

Day 7 Read a book with the word cornucopia in the text for 10 points!

So annoying, it was in a book I read the other day. It is in a couple of kindle freebies and

It is also in and

I can read something unless someone else has a book that works.

I will be done with a book featuring a hellhound soon and I have a short green cover I can read.

I arranged my TBR by page number and I have a couple that will add to twenty but they are both in series and I have one more book to read to get to that one.

Checking in! I'm sorry for not checking in earlier. I'm still working on American Gods. I understand Megan, the book is a doorstopper, hanging in there. I've got a copy of Uprooted now, can't wait to pick it up.

I took a day off from work today. I'm about to go out and do some Christmas shopping, love the atmosphere, after that I'm going to snuggle up with my book next to the radiator :)

Doing great team !

Grace, I should have The Maze Runner done today or tomorrow for the green cover if you want to work on something else. Can we use the same book for a regular goal and a Christmas goal?

No we can only use it for one or the other

Do we have any books in the goalless books list with authors who's name is in the top 100 male names in Sweeden??

Megan wrote: "Do we have any books in the goalless books list with authors who's name is in the top 100 male names in Sweeden??"

Unfortunately not but there are a few common names on it like William, Edward, jack and Daniel so it shouldn't be too hard to come across one that works soon.

Probably better to use it for the Dystopian goal then we will get a new goal. I have a green one just over a 100 pages I can read quickly if no one else hits a green cover soon.
