Goal Update


Read a book with the name of the tarot card "Temperance" in the text or title [Ashley Marie]
Read a book that won or was nominated in the 2011 Goodread Choice Awards [Mary]
Read a book with a body part in the title [Sonia]
Read a book with green text on the cover [Steven]
Read a book where the title includes an ampersand ( an & ) [Apoorv]

Steven wrote: "Okay, anyone who wanted to read Cut & Run, now's a good time... we need the "&" for the new goal :P"

If anyone is reading the Cut & Run series, I wont snatch that golden opportunity from them.. if not, I can read the next on the THIRDS series.

EDIT: Just finished a 'Book with a Q Title' for any such future painful goal.

Letters ? Are you really looking at the color of the letters there ? I cant seem to move my eyes from the right hand side.

Dick van Dyke.. Book with a butt in the title.. T, aren't you enjoying your books ?! *giggles*

Steven, we are all waiting for the good news from you that everything turned out well with Albus. *hugs*

Mary,

You can always use www.shelfari.com if you ever need the names of characters in a certain book. It is a good resource and tends to have the character details for most books, from what I have seen.

(Sorry if the link doesn't take you to the right place.. I am not in my computer at this moment.)

What a start to my day !!
My laptop conked on me.. I am not sure if I'd be able to edit the spreadsheet till I get it fixed, it seems.

Sonia, T : I will try working on it using my iPad but I am not sure how easy that would be.

*looks at my lappie with sad eyes*
*sighs*
*goes back to Sophie Kinsella*

Most definitely.

See ! Scolding the poor, spreadsheet-observing child ! :(

Update
!! New Goal !!

Read a book with purple text on the cover.

The child in me hates it when we cant knock off multiple goals at one time. :P

Update
!! New Goal !!

Read a book that has a love triangle.

Any of the currently read books have some nice triumvirate ?

Update
!! New Goal !!

Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as alpha-male - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable.

Sonia,
Tamika's How to Walk Like a Man has 'hot alpha male' as one of the shelves, would that work ? *fingers crossed*

That is one heck of an author name.. I am scared of reading her ! :P :P

Oh my lord !
*gasps.. gawks.. gapes.. growls at Steven*

Oh, I so remember you going all crazy with the Stephanie Plum series when we were playing the UNO ! Challenge. :P *hehe*

Every time I read a Stephanie Plum (or a Janet Evanovich book for that matter), I think of you ! :)
