Allison Ann’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

My unused book has 5 odd numbers and no pets so it is out. I thought we were using "Rock" for the pasta eating. Is that another pizza eating goal or the same old one? Does that annoying Stephanie Plum woman have a pet hamster or is it a gerbil?

I checked, it is a hamster.

Enquiring minds want to know. :D

Awesome run on goals team!!! Here's my contribution.

Finished last night. I'll have my "walk" book finished this afternoon.

Not annoying at all, I should be able to sleep just fine. :D

I am however done payroll and therefore I'm going to go have an adult beverage and read my book awhile. The perks of being your own boss are few, but occasionally they kick in.

The only problem is that it is 6 p.m. and I'm still at work for 2 hours, so ...

Thank you Stacie!! I'm thinking I should just go to bed before the new goal starts annoying me. :D

I'm pretty sure another team used a woman with a male name.

It doesn't work for any current goals, but for future possible goals; First published Jan. 24th 2012, Characters: Nikki, Jack, Cole, Jules, Meredith, M..."

The author is Brodi, Brodie is #47 on the nameberry list. Would that work?

Stacie if you could read a "method to my madness" book I could probably sleep again. :) It is ridiculous how much that goal bothers me.

Bye for now, Eni! :)"

There's a cat named Oliver Underfoot in a series I read, do you think that would work? His last name starts with a U.

Yay!

I completely take the blame if the book works for the next goal.

catch a turtle (or elephant) ;) by the toe

eeny meeny miney moe

Has anyone had any luck finding "Method to my madness"? I have checked about 50 books without finding anything even close.

I feel like a bit of quitter but maybe we should consider a boon on that one? Aren't defense points what we get for goals? Or am I backwards again?

Humans murdering other humans doesn't bother me a bit but just leave animals out of it please. I cry like a baby if a dog gets a hangnail. ;)

I have a book that will work for read a book with the word walk, run, stroll, crawl or climb (plurals are acceptable) in the title that I am starting today. I can also reread The Last Battle tonight for read a book with the word soldier, army, war or battle (plurals are acceptable) in the title if no one else has one.

If someone reads horror and wants to read about a turtle, The Troop will work. I'm having flashbacks just typing this but I know there are people in the world who enjoy gore more than I. ;)

I could actually get my hands on a book for that very easily. :D Yet I am completely stymied by "method to my madness"
