Teri-K’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

OK, I know I'm losing it, but what book am I reading for this?
Goal 12--Xena--:
Read a book that is in the Amazon 2009 bestsellers (http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/...) - ELDARWEN ; Sookie Stackhouse (#24) or Teri

I checked the list twice and didn't see anything. lol

You need to read more!! ;-) *jok..."

Yes, Ma'am. :)

I've finished Colour Scheme, in which a man dies by being boiled in a very hot hot-spring. :)

You can through Amazon with their free Kindle reading app. Or through sites like Project Gutenberg if you can make a pdf. And I get OverDrive through my library, which also has several ways to read on laptops.

I'm sure other folks know more ways. :)

Sounds like the perfect reason to bump it up the TBR list. If you need a reason. lol

Carmen is nearly done with a book where characters die, so that goal ..."

I'm pretty much always reading a mystery and a classic, so that's no problem. :)

BTW Jeeves and the Tie That Binds which I'm currently reading, has classics as the main page genre.

Maximus.

Not trying to hog goals, just give options.

An elf, a werewolf, a wild animal?

ETA - are we still looking for a book where someone dies? I'm reading two.

If you need it I have The Penderwicks at Point Mouette 64736 words, where they spend most of the book at the beach. I'm 1/3 of the way through.

It's late here - I'm off to bed. By the time I get back on things will have changed a lot. :)

I finished News from Thrush Green, 239 pages, for Read a book where a pet name starts with the letter S . It wasn't Shep the dog, though, but Suzie the cat. Shep is in another book I'm reading. lol

I'm also reading News from Thrush Green, 239 pages, and somebody in it has a dog named Shep. I'm not sure who the dog belongs to, I'll pay attention while I'm reading and see.

ETA I think I'll need to start noting pet names. I often don't pay that much attention to them...

Team Maximus:
I've finished  Uprooted, 438 pp, which is #173 on the Book Depository list.

I also pass on the "memoir of the leader of a country book". lol

I am 1/2 way through the Amazon 2002 bestseller, though.

We'll see. ;)

Eldarwen wrote: "Alright, Teri! You're definitely quicker than me hehe."

Did you have a book for that goal already? I tired to catch up on the thread but there's a lot going on. :)

Maximus:
You can put me down for In This Mountain by Jan Karon, 382 pages. It's #72 on the Amazon 2002 list.

I didn't find "method to my madness" in any of my current reads.

The MC in my Death in the Stocks works for Scotland Yard, and it's been finished. If you need it.

Finished for Maximus:
Snow in Summer (47650 words) by Jane Yolen Author whose name starts with Y.

Now back to my regularly scheduled reading... :)

Finished for Team Maximus:
with 322 pages, for the goal Read a book where the page numbers add to 7.

I've finished for Team Maximus:

Anne of Avonlea, which was filmed in Canada: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092571/l....
It has 85,006 words on AR, so it qualifies.

I have started:
Snow in Summer by Jane Yolen for author's name with Y. It has 47,650 words on AR finder.

Seriously?????
Surely one of the boons should be played to get us off that hook?"

I'm no good for pet name Z either. And I'm OK with using a boon if no one comes up with a book for it soon.
