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

My new work book is by Robert B. Parker which will work for read a book where the author's first name is one of the top 100 male names in England according to nameberry if we still need it. It's a short book so I should be done by tonight plus I admit I'm avoiding my Q author book because I haven't quite decided if it annoys me yet.

Found a book with "whole nine yards", twice even. :) I don't think anyone else is reading for it yet so I'll start this evening.

Never mind, I also have a Q author I can read.

Kind of ridiculous isn't it? I should double check the number of pages, it's probably over 400. I don't remember a lot of 4 page chapters anyway. :)

I figured there might be an over 100 chapters goal in the mix though.

Happy Birthday Zee. Coffee break time - let's see if I can finish a book. :)

Hey Denise, I'm reading a book with lions but it is long and Sundays I work 16 hours and it is already past my bedtime, so I say go for it. :) I'll read my "pond" book instead.

Hello new team. YAY NEW GOALS. *looks at new goals* yay new goals... ;)

Sorry, I had a mini-emergency, glad you found other onions. :) None of my books add up to 21 either.

I have an onion bagel in to save some searching.

I have cave lions in the book I am reading now if we don't find any regular lions before I am finished. :)

Date Finished: 8/29/15
Goal: Read a book where the page numbers add to 19
2 + 9 + 8 = 19

Sorry I didn't finish my "adds up to 19" book yesterday. Fridays and Saturdays are my busiest days and it is my work book. I should be done by this afternoon and the deadline is my bedtime, so that'll be my last book for this round. Round 3 I should have some more time to read *she says hopefully but not optimistically*. :)

I might have someone lost in The Dog Master: A Novel of the First Dog - I'm not too far into it yet, but it seems as if the MC might be lost in the enemy Creek's territory. I'll switch back to it tonight and find out for sure (it's one of two alternating bedtime reading books).

Nice run of goals!

Goal: Read a book that is in the Amazon 2001 bestsellers (http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/...)
#70

I'm reading a book whose page numbers add up to 19 or I can pick up Altar and Throne by Ed Zaruk for the Z author tonight. Both pretty short books.

The MC in I'm Watching You is a prosecutor.

I have a book that I'm starting that is on the 2001 Amazon bestseller list. I'm also reading a book with a single eye on the cover for single body part. Don't know if we'll still need them when I finish but maybe...

Finished: by Karen Musser Nortman - 250 pages
Date Finished: 8/27/15
Goal: Read a book where a character is an undertaker.
Page 53 "This is Ralph Bonnard, the local funeral director."

Would funeral director be acceptable for undertaker do you think?

In - the character Terry Whitman is a M.D. She disappears after the first couple of chapters and they spend the rest of the book looking for her, but she's a character with lines and importance.

Without even looking I can guarantee that none of my books have ever been Book of the Month. :D

Hi Rosina, nice to see a familiar face, it seems like a great challenge, looking forward to it. Hi everybody else.

I have finished only 8 books in the last two weeks. They were all started after the August 2nd start date, so I hope they are all okay to use. Most of my books are older and don't have a month of publication. I do have a Y title finished though if we want to use that.

Now I have to go make dog cookies and blanch a million tomatoes. :) I have decided the only way to get through this weekend and get anything done is to allow myself to check GR after every finished task.
