I look forward to the next one too. I really enjoyed reading for goals :) It got me to read some very interesting books (even though I still hate zombies ;) )

Good luck Lisa :)

Oh I'll miss the Tower Team challenge!! I've been really enjoying it :(

Oh don't start me on BAS statements!!! I've been helping to do for them for my husband's business for years now!! BAS = stress :)

Hi,
My weekend has been busy with parties all weekend (I shouldn't complain, but I'm tired!). I haven't had much time reading in the last 2 weeks. I've been very ill and so has my bubba :(. I hope to finish my 90+ chapters book this week, but no promises. Sorry!!

Enjoy your relaxation, Kazen. I hope the hospital visit is for work, not personal :)

Read a book with 91+ chapters - Chava

In the main character, Lorenzo, has a great need for approval from his peers. He's a total misfit, doesn't have friends, but desperately wants their approval, so he "learns" from an insect that imitates wasps. He starts to behave like his peers to gain their approval. He also does everything to gain approval from his older sister who he hasn't seen for many years, but who shows up all of a sudden.
Would that fit enough for the "read a book where a character has a strong need for approval"?

LOL, my husband said exactly the same and said he knew a few books that had been turned into movies :) I got that way through English lit at school, but not anymore! :)

My family is totally getting into the reading for goals. My husband (who is not a reader!!) asked which goal I was reading for now, what my next one was and when we passed a warehouse for books he said "look, that's like heaven for you, isn't it" :)
My 5 yr old and 4 yr old have chosen the next 2 books for me to read for the challenges and goals :) My daughter then went to sit down to "read for goals" herself (she can't read, just pretends).
I am raising booklovers, whoohoo!!!

Karen wrote: "Also, the audio narrator names count (even if you didn't read the audio version) so they can be worth checking to get those tricky letters ; as we have a few O,U,Y and even a X this time"

Okay, how do I know which books haven't been used yet? In case there are any of mine there, I can have a look at audiobooks and characters' names

Yup, the first puzzle is locked in but we'll be able to use that Y in the new puzzle, as we need two of them.

And yes, only biggest books read in December. We sti..."

Are we allowed to use characters' names for the letters?
