I finished Burned by Ellen Hopkins last night. Don't think it counts for any goals at the moment, but I'm on the phone right now so I'll add it to the Goalless Books tab a bit later.I'll probably read some of her other books soon as well, but I'll continue with Outlander for the present moment. :)

I think that'd be The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender. I loved that book so much. I'll probably reread it sometime soon :)

I am indeed. I'll be sure to pass on your greetings :)
There's nothing stopping you from rereading it though... just a thought. :D
NEW GOAL: Read a book with a green coverJuliana, would your French Parents Don't Give In work for this goal? That cover looks predominantly green. :)

I suppose "lack of belief in a religion" might possibly work, good point. :DI did like it, but it's still more in the 4-star range for me. I think I've read at least three King novels so far, and I still can't figure out for the life of me whether I like him or not! :) I do intend to read more of his books, so hopefully I'll eventually figure that out.

Just so everyone knows, literary prizes have a longlist and a shortlist. The longlist has all the initial nominees and then after a while it's narrowed down to the shortlist. For example I think the Man Booker prize had 13 books on the longlist and then 6 books on the shortlist.
UpdatedUsed The Bridesmaid's Wedding for peridot.

Sorry for being so MIA, I've just had too many things to do and too little time to do them in.I'm thinking of starting Outlander soon, that should at least be worth a few points. :) Have any of you read it? And I'm glad you could use my book for a goal, makes me feel slightly more useful! :D
Chris, I hope you're alright, take care of yourself!
I've had a way too busy week too. Hopefully I'll get to read a book or two over the weekend. I'll try to find some fast books. :)
