Unlucky 13 by James Patterson is my favorite series follows the women's murder club"

Hi Sonya, you need to mark Unlucky 13 as read, because it's not showing up. It is on your shelve.

Finished:

by: Michael Kardos
Pages: 384

set in West Virginia

about a murder of a woman, her daughter people believe is dead but really not, and the daughters search for the truth.

Did unlucky 13 show up yet

deep six 470 pages. dirk pitt series novel. clive cussler write this.

Sonya wrote: "Did unlucky 13 show up yet"

Nope. And what's extra frustrating is when I look at your reading progress of the book says you marked it read on 11/13.

But on your shelf the read date says "not set". Which is why there is a problem.

If you can I'd try going onto the website and go into your bookshelf, click on the "date not set" it should let you set the date manually.

Again, I apologize for all of this. It really isn't supposed to be this much work for everyone.

Goodreads is saying you finished reading this on Oct 31 and not today.

I feel like there is a conspiracy against you or something. Please don't hate us . . .

I'm still reading this one

Sonya, I'm happy to report that Unlucky 13 is now present and accounted for points wise!! Fingers crossed it will be smooth sailing from here :)

Katherine, we are having the same issue with your book that we've been running into with Sonya's. It's marked as read, but without a 'date read' set.

This really isn't your (or Sonya's) fault and is more of an issue of the Goodreads app I think. We need you to go in and set the read date to 11/15/15 for it to pull into our team spreadsheet.

Thank you!

Hello Everyone, on the top of page one of the thread is a list of everything from the mini challenge. Check marks are ones I've matched books too.

I have not had time to go through all of the books everyone has read to date.

Please look through the unchecked options to see if a book you have already read meets the need and let us know by posting in the thread. I know we have more of these already taken care of but I ran out of time tonight.

Also, in case anyone is interested, here's a book:

Evertrue

Last in series, parts of it set in different parts of earth, some in the everneath or underworld (don't know if that counts for underground, but sometimes they refer to it as such) contains humans and everlivings, everlivings feed off of peoples energy and have to do so every century to live, has things called shades that are everlivings that missed a feed, not sure if I am missing anything or not :)

Immortal City
Read: 11/17/2015
Pages: 368
Has guardian angels, a half angel, and demons (which work for the mini goal) set in los Angeles, basically angels live in the real world and are hires by mostly rich people to be their guardian angels, so if they make a bad decision and almost die as long as they paid for a guardian angel then they get saved, Jackson saves the main character Maddy and basically it is against the law to do so, also the half angel and angels can see the future before it happens... so that should cover two of the mini goals.
