Just finished another book, but doesn't work for any goals :o(

For the spell it out tab, do we want to include books we're going to read / in the progress of reading? If someone else finishes one that meets the requirements it can be swapped.
Perhaps include a tab for other possibilities - e.g. Alison's book that she was going to use for I, but also works for E? May make it easier to swap around books if needed.

Also - are there any detours that everyone is happy to do?

Looks like a good start for letters so far :o)

Spreadsheet might be handy....

I can do T - next book on my list has a character Theodosia

I liked either of the team names suggested. I'm useless at thinking of names so there'll be no suggestions from me on that front.

You're so honest! I love it!
I started one boo..."

Not sure I'd have said the same if I'd started today. LOL

I mightn't manage 2 books for the first week as I just started 2 yesterday. Both could have been used for the spell-it-out too. Grrrr.

Sorry - just realised I reposted goals - page hadn't updated properly to show your post catherine!

For goals I'd be happy with 3, 4, 5, 8..... Maybe 6, I need to look through the books there

Detour goals
1: Read a book where a character gets into shape
2: Read a book where someone goes home again
3: Read a book where the Kindle version is less than 300 pages
4: Read a book where a character's first name starts with letter T
5: Read a book with a pink cover
6: Read a book that won or was nominated for a 2012 GR choice award
7: Read a book where the ISBN 10 as exactly 2 even numbers
8: Read a book where the main genre is listed as Young Adult

Hi everyone! I'm looking forward to this!

I agree, I think a spell it out would work best. Do we want to go for Ushuaia or Argentina. I think Argentina would be easier maybe...

I'd like to join too please.

I'm Vikki, from Northern Ireland. I imagine this will be the most "travelling" I'll get to do in 2016 as well. My favourite genre is crime/thriller but I like to mix in some others too :o)

Goal: character with same name (Vikki)

Finished my book - going to update other topic in a moment

there's a character in my current book also called Vikki - even the exact same spelling which I don't see very often. I'll have it finished later today

8th is pretty good - well done everyone :o)

If you can't do it let me know as I have 328 on my to-read list. LOL Loads I can choose from between 200 - 250

Finished another book :o) Added to other topic now
