This goal is a pain! I was like hmm wonder if i just put random numbers into amazon itl find a book that has that isbn. That didn't work out. Haha not sure why I even thought of it. Ah well hope everyones having/had a good monday :-)

Hi all

Apologies for the slow start.....completely manic week last week. Two more almost finished.

One of them is Che Guevara's Motorcycle Diaries......which has a wheel on the cover :)

I hope you get to do the DQS I did it for the first time with Pretty Girls. I need to check out the back room ones. I am going to read Bound. Thanks for reading for the prison one.

Thats great :) I was searching all mine, I was so close with one, I had 3 even numbers not 2!
Awesome Karen :)

Don't we get a boon every few weeks so we can drop a goal or two that are giving us trouble?

Our current Open Goals

°Read a book where the same vowel appears in the title at least 5 times
°Read a book with a U.S. State in the title
°Read a book where a character can see or feel ghosts

I know of our completed books Brighter Than the Sun has a character that sees ghots does any one know if any of the books they have read so far but haven't been used for a goal fit ?

Didn't someone read Looking For Alaska?

Megan wrote: "Don't we get a boon every few weeks so we can drop a goal or two that are giving us trouble?"

Yes, we can use it to get rid of one, maybe wait until the day before it expires and see what we have left. I have books that work for ISBN and State and Audrey has the vowel one covered. I need to take another look at the series number one.

Megan wrote: "Didn't someone read Looking For Alaska?"

Yes but we used it, this is the second time we have had the State in Title goal.

Yuck

Megan wrote: "Yuck"

I know, it is the second time for the series number one as well. At least we won't get either of them again.

I think we're unlucky in goals.

I finished a book today that has 5 Es in the title. Another Year At 32 September Way. Meets the vowel goal.

LOL I know a book that fits if no one else comes across something, I will happily reread it.

I'll dig through Kindle Unlimited and find something easy with a state title. There are plenty of cowboy romances based around Texas or Montana.

That is too true.

I read the book Easy Melody last week. Characters are Seahawks fans. They go to a game and meet players in the book.

I'm a little nervous about the DQ thing--it would be my first time. I'd love the points, but... I'll be interested to see what the DQs are for Bound. :)

Are we still looking for a book for the US state goal? I could try to fit Dragos Goes to Washington in this week sometime.

I'm reading a Texas book, so you don't have to read it if you don't want to.

Megan wrote: "I read the book Easy Melody last week. Characters are Seahawks fans. They go to a game and meet players in the book."

All done, then we got 'Read a book with a man on the cover' I used Grace's Bodyguard To A Sex God which I giggled so hard at... I'm very mature.

THEN we got 'Read a book where the edition you are reading was published on the 29th of a month' which we have a book read by Audrey called 'The Texan's Wager' which says first published on the 29th Oct so I could use that. I think its best using that rather than the US state one which I guess fits it because this book fits the date one the best.. :)

We got the goal

I used Ellie's Clockwork Angel

We then got

Read a book where the amazon ship weight for the hardcover is over 2 pounds

A weird goal but my Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell fitted, I figured it would as the paperback is pretty heavy.

Okay. I'll stick to my plan. :)

I thought about volunteering to do the DQs for Bound but thought I would see what the questions were like. It was easier than I thought coming up for Questions for Pretty Girls. I think you will do great.

Oh I giggled at it too. At work. Then showed a co-worker who giggled as well.

I am waiting on ruling on whether works for a Great Body on the cover :)

I can read for Temperance if no one has it.

I am almost done with such a good series. I just need to finish some reviews.

I'd say that was a great body... Even if he has man boobs.

Oooh, is that the Bones TV show book :)? I have been wanting to read that but I love the show so much I don't want to ruin it.

I'm feeling awful today so my review for the one book I managed to get through was like 3 sentences, just cannot think.

And Meg I'm glad it isn't just me that found it funny!

Yes, its the Bones series, I have read a few of them, really good

Sorry ladies, I am a little behind in my reading this week. I should have one done by tonight...will do my best!

The body was approved and I finished the lucky one :) So two new goals.

I'm a bit past the middle of Darkfever which is on the "Strong female fantasy novels" list--although I would say female and fantasy yes, strong, eh, not so much. But I should finish by Thursday if no one else gets one done sooner for that goal.

Stacey I was able to fill that one from books read our current goals are in the post above yours. I can't remember how many chapters in Darkfever, if it has the word Temperance in that would be good :)
