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

Anne of Avonlea was filmed in Canada: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092571/l....

It has 85,006 words on AR, so it qualifies. I'd be happy to reread it.

The thing is, I'm happy to try and find a book for a goal no one else is doing. But I can't tell which goals they are. I hate to see a goal languish for days because everyone thinks someone else is reading toward it.

But I'm not trying to pressure the mods or make your job harder, I'm only asking questions. Feel free to tell me to go away and read...

I have an idea for filmed in Canada. Will report back...

Is anyone doing "Read a book with 81-90 chapters"? Is there a way to tell if a goal isn't being worked toward at all, and decide if we should use a boon for it?

This all looks very confusing now and I'm really glad I'm not a captain. lol

Also, I can always read Shakespeare, and he's been filmed almost everywhere. However, Elizabeth Peters died in 2013, too. And her books are quick. So I say don't sweat it either way. :) Better to generate new goals ASAP?

HP is #78 on the Amazon list. I just looked.

ETA - We must have been looking at the same time. lol

OverDrive just came through with Uprooted, 438 pp, which is #173 on the Book Depostory list. I'm noting this now in case it changes. :)

Finished for Team Maximus:

Hour of Gold, Hour of Lead: Diaries and Letters, 1929-1932 325 pp; by Anne Morrow Lindbergh; letters in title=20/37with subtitle; page #s= 10; first pub 1973; #Chap. 4 sections; gold, woman on cover; genre bio, memoir, autobio, nonfiction, history, inspirational, diary; Char. names Anne & Charles Lindbergh; Setting US, Mexico, Japan, Cuba

ETA- There's only the year for first pub date, as it's too old. So am I right in thinking they're allowing date the edition was published? If so, this edition was published March 12th 1993 and works for Read a book first published on the 12th of a month. If that's not right, please disregard. :)

Team Maximus

I've only read the first in the Genghis series so far, but I liked it a lot. I listened to the audio version with Stefan Rudnicki. Very good. :)

Just realized Attolia's pages add up to 9, which we need.

treatment

I just pulled Before Lunch off the shelf to start. It has 322 pages, which add up to 7, for Goal 6: Read a book where the page numbers add to 7. It will probably take me a couple of days to read it, though, so someone else may get that goal filled before me. Especially once we merge and double in size. Still though I'd mention it. :)

Good to see you back. I was getting worried... Going without electricity's no fun, but being without internet is worse, I think. lol

The Edge of Winter from Maximus has Crispin, if you need it.

Lots of action in the last hour or so! Good job, everybody. :)

I've finished The Silver Chair ISBN 0020442505 . For Read a book where the ISBN10 number has 8 or more even numbers.

Also finished A Kind Of Magic. "Read a book that starts with the letter K"

I'd be happy to finish it. :) I just set it aside to read a few other things. I'll get back to it in a couple of hours.

So, assuming 0 is an even number, I have The Silver Chair ISBN 0020442505 . For Read a book where the ISBN10 number has 8 or more even numbers.
They are pretty quick books to read and I'm half way through. I'll get on it when I finish my K book.

ETA - I went through all the other Maximus books and didn't see one that worked.

In math 0 is always considered even, if I remember correctly.
