Kari’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Marie, I haven't read the book but that sounds like it surely works.

That sounds good, I'm working on the topaz book right now, shouldn't take me long, would be great if I could have time to finish it before you superboon :)

He gets killed by the heroine when she tries to escape, so it's not natural causes :S.

I have a book for Topaz that I'll try to finish asap, looks like the challenge will end on Sunday.

You can use "Him" on pg 14 of that Funny as Hell list, #1298

Goal: Hero is an incubus

Gea wrote: "I don't think it's a good idea to use the boon on goals we can fill as we can get nasty goals after the super boon. Of the five goals right now 4 ... "

Ok, we work with what we have now and see what happens. :)

Gea wrote: "I don't think we're destined to use the super boon. Spreadsheet says the game will probably end on 27th and we keep getting goals we complete"

That's what I was thinking when I mentioned it'd be hard to get 5 goals we can't do.

Here are some options:

A) use super boon as soon as we finish the three that are book-in-progress (england, succubus and temperature) and not claim the others no matter what they are
or
B) set a deadline, like say we use super boon tonight or tomorrow morning, giving us time to finish the books-in-progress and maybe someone can sneak in another that might pop up as long as the reader knows it must be finished by the deadline
or
C) we can use our last regular boon with the hospital now (might as well if no one has anything for it) and not use super boon at this time.

We have 7-8 days of challenge left so we should probably decide asap :). What do you guys think?

I can take the succubus/incubus goal.

Goal: “She thought it'd be a piece of cake at first…” chap.3

I have a book I can read for "piece of cake" but if someone gets to it first I'm sure mine could work later for other goals.
