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

NEW GOAL-Read a book where the page numbers add to 21 (i.e. 345 pages = 3+4+5 = 12)

found "break a leg" in Oulander

Hmm. I didn't take a look at the points when I was in, but I did notice the loading was off. I'll go check

NEW GOAL- #150- Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as hardcover - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable

I'm reading the Selection which has a manicure in it

#145- Read a book with the word hot, love or steam (plurals are acceptable) in the title

#139.
Read a book where a character is an emergency services worker (Fire/Ambulance/Police)

#140.
Read a book in a series that you've been putting off

#140 is annoying, because if we have been putting them off, we obviously haven't already read one. lol

updated to here

I'm going to say yes, because you know it when you read it. lol

I'm up for DQs. Team Lir

If no one else is planning on reading it, I'll give DQ's a go for Winter. I'll just have to borrow a friends copy to see what section of the book it is.

My only issue with writing DQ's is that I don't have the book on hand anymore, so it would be hard to figure out where they are.

I just got Nightingale from the library, so I can definitely participate in that one.

I really liked Darker Shade of Magic, so if anyone is on the fence about it--It's awesome.

I'm reading that sentence as that there is as a cut off after the discussion date, but not before as long as it's been in the challenge window
. Is that wrong?

#129- Read a book that is in the "Best Adult Vampire Books" Listopia List (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...)

I didn't have time to check very well for this. If anyone has a book with Vampires they've read, please take a peak at the lists this book is featured on section. :)

I have one for 126 already read. I'll go fill it in.

I just read Winter this week.

Half of those German Literature books don't make sense. Sanderson's Way of Kings? Midnight Riot (Set in London, by a Londoner). lol

Good catch. It was listed as 6/1/2014 for some reason in the spreadsheet, so I didn't see it.

The 3-star goal is harder than it seems. Apparently no one tags things if they aren't 4 or 5 stars. Although, technically there are a couple that only need one person tagging them to make the front page....lol

New goal--- #101 Read a book where the edition you are reading was published on the 23th of a month

Found "You know Mrs. Connolly is going to have kittens" in Time Travelers Wife, so #90 is done.
