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

Update
!! New Goals !!

- Read a book shelved '2002'
- Read a book shelved 'available'

Did a quick cursory glance of our unused books, but to no avail.. will check thoroughly tomorrow morning if no one gets to it before me.. too late, too tired !

Hah ! That was anti-climactic !
I am not worried as much now !

*goes over to check the unused books*

I was hoping to start the Chocolate Chip Murder series (if I get the book in my new library tomorrow), and then hope to get to American Gods, will see if I can squeeze the next Kinsey in between.

I dont have computer access to the spreadsheet, so I am not adept at this moment.. but if anyone of you can quickly jump pver to the spreadsheet and go on to the 'Goals' tabs, the 'Post Modern' goal has a link to it.. I am guessing with the new change made by the Mods, that link would direct us to what exactly Post Modern is and what is expected out of us.

Can anyone of you check that out and maybe post that link here ? Thanks !

Update

Nah ! We just needed a book wherein the read edition was published on the 24th of a month.. Widdershins' audio book was published on that date..

.. but no worries, I found another book and got that goal knocked out ! :)

Darn ! We could have used that for our new goal.
No worries, I still have more books to look at ! :)

Tamika, did you, by any chance, listen to the audiobook for Widdershins ?

Oh, nevermind !
It looks fine now !
Phew, I was both happy and weirded out for a moment !

BTW, I am not on my computer and iPad doesnt necessarily support it well, so I might not be looking at it right, but the spreadsheet looks wonky but interesting.

It is showing me that we have used up ALL the books we have read so far ? Is that true ?

It doesnt make sense though.. coz that wasnt the case the last time I saw, which was earlier in the morning.. and we havent knocked off 10-15 goals in the day.. unless I have gone bananas and cant see anything straight ! :P

It doesnt have to be read as an audiobook.
Just that the audiobook of that particular book needs to be read by the author itself.

I am gleaming ! Yaaaay !
Ducky will be the first GoodReads friend I am going to meet.. whoopieeee ! :D

I am here atleast for 6 months as of now.. it may reduce based on how quickly and smoothly (yeah, right !) the project goes or longer than that, if it drags.

I was in Pennsylvania, T. The gorgeous Lancaster, PA to be specific.. but I finished with my project there, so moved over to Ann Arbor, MI for the next one.

So basically, its like a colorful spectrum for me.. from the brown lands of Texas, to the lush greens of Pennsylvania to now the lovely whites of Michigan ! ;)

Noo ! I want something REALLY good as a follow up to Winter. That was my next.
Dont say that !!
Boo Hoo !

Ann Arbor !!
Dont tell me, you are somewhere around ?! *squeals*

If Amazon or Google Books has a preview option, then mostly the first page (atleast in most cases) can be viewed.

I will check all our unused books for the 'They' after I reach home in about 2 hours, if no one gets there before me.

Aww.. I love Orlando ! And I so get you for wanting to go to Disney every weekend.. I would love to do that as well. :D

.. rather I would tie it up with a quick trip to the Floridian beaches.. and ahhh, bliss !

*day-dream*
*looks out of the window*
*sees the bone-chilling Michigan cold*
*jolts back to reality*

Sorry for being a little MIA over the last couple of days.. new project, re-location, new everything, getting settled, and reading Winter (NOT at the rate and with the amount of time I want with it) has kept me tied up.

I can do the cookie goal (I just needed this reason to start a new series, Ducky's coaxing me will work), if I can find a library in this new alien (for me!) town.
