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

The Sky is Everywhere, that I finished the other day, has poems/sonnets at the beginning and the end of literally every chapter.

You can turn poems into songs !
If not, then kill me ! :P

I love the palindrome goal.. we had an interesting goal this afternoon (for which we already had a book), Read a book where the amazon ship weight for the hardcover is under a pound.

Now, these are really cool goals instead of those publication date ones :P

New Goal :
Read a book with a prime number of pages

This sucks ! We have so many un-used books and none are prime numbers. Guess we have to start doing the Math now onwards :P

New Goal, after knocking two more out :
Read a book where a character is a cowboy/cowgirl .

Any takers ? ;)

New Goal :
Read a book first published on the 30th of a month

Kill me now !

Well done, Angel. Makes it so easy for us to update. :)
Thank you so much !

As we move into Week # 4,
quick update from the Master Spreadsheet POV,

We started this Round as Number # 2, unfortunately we have dropped down to the second last position (mostly coz of those publication date goals.. oh, I am beginning to hate those).. but I am pretty sure we can catch up and race ahead.

But what really matters is that we all are enjoying ourselves. So hopefully you all are having fun.. coz I certainly am !
.. and that is coz you all are an awesome bunch ! :D

Okay, GoodReads probably has the wrong info.
I checked some other websites and they do say that Saint Odd was published on the 13th of January this year.

So I guess we are okay.

If you open the book page, the line where it is says published on blah blah, talking about the edition you are reading, the first published date is in the parenthesis next to it.

Kate, it says that the book was first published on the 8th of January :(

OMG, Sara. This is so awesome.
I so did not even think of that, even after reading the book.
Thank you for catching it. Great that we could knock a goal off.

.. and yes, Sonia. It was one of the most weirdest Agatha Christie's I have read.. and I absolutely love her.

New Goal

Read a book where a character is a vampire

New Goal

Read a book that starts with the letter H

I so want to read Ball & Chain, but I am still at Book 4 in the series and I want to relish them as long as I can. ^_^

Quick Question, team !

Do you think this is 'pink' enough for a pink cover goal ?

This is the only book amongst the ones that we have read and are unclaimed for a goal.

Thoughts ? :)

On a side note (sorry if I am talking too much :P), just a kind request to everyone, that every once and often, please double check all the three spreadsheets (or spreadsheets as applicable) to see if all your books have been logged in correctly.

I know the captains and co-captains are making a great effort to keep everything on point. But just to be sure, that nothing gets missed.. kindly peep in sometime.

More the points.. merrier it is, right ? :P :D

Yes, just a quick check on the word 'dance' for the book gave me a lot of options of the characters going to dancing, Mr. Sidney asking someone (Camilla?) for a dance and so on.

So, I am assuming it should work.
Now, should I wait for Angel to confirm or go ahead and post it ? Cant wait to see a new goal ! :p

Sorry, I have been sorta MIA for the last couple of days. Have been unwell and havent touched a book in that time.
Feels ugh !

Hope you guys are doing great. You all are awesome.. and doing fantastic on the challenge. :D

Since, we are all running behind the goals (which is how it should be) and apparently stuck in between all kinds of animals..

.. lets take a quick breather.

In the 2+ weeks of this challenge, can you name the Top 3 Books (if not the best) that you happened to read?

So, here is the latest set of goals. They just keep getting weird. Now we have to look for a dinosaur. Good God ! :P
