Goal: Read a book where a character is an actor --– hero is an actor

I could find something for actor but I'm not too crazy about the other goals. What about you guys, anything sounds interesting/doable?
Marie is doing the helix and Gea the first name?

What are the current goals? I got lost, sorry.

Author: Jill Myles
Date Completed: Nov 21, 2015

Goal: Read a book with the word king, queen, prince or princess (plurals are acceptable) in the title

Not sure but could Pretty Girls work for that last one?

That's great, Gea, thanks!! :-)

I'll read a book for the goal with King, Queen etc. in the title since no one has mentioned it, I'm sure I have something that'll work.

DNA helix sounds very boonable!

I definitely don't have anything for Home state or Country. If someone has one would be great, if not we can boon it. Or we can wait and see if anyone finishes another book before the deadline and a harder one comes up. Whatever you guys decide is ok by me. Looks like the deadline is tomorrow though, not today.

Goal: Read a book that is in the "Best Ever Contemporary Romance Books" Listopia List (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/5...) ---- #2786 on list

I liked it and will definitely grab the next book. I tried pacing myself but couldn't, lol. I was expecting it to be somewhat similiar to the Rough Riders but it isn't at all, except for the erotic content. I hope you like it, Gea!

I just finished that one, will post it with the topaz goal :)

Marie wrote: "going to read for love just now the last book i read was just awful"

Sorry it was awful, yikes! Hope the next one is a good one!

I started reading Bound for the backroom BOM, answering the questions only.

I found the word Topaz in Chap.1, so that goal is covered too if no one gets to it first.
