Finished The Great Zoo of China
, 481pg. No goals so far. This book I really recommend, one of the best I've read this year!
Scarlet
Pg 452
Date: 12/4/15
Setting: Future version of earth
Characters: Cinder, Scarlet, Wolf, Thorne, Kai, Levana, Michelle, Iko, Adri, Pearl, Jael, Ran
Misc: People from the moon, genetically modified people, royalty, spaceships, androids, fugitives from the law, person thought to be lost but now found (princess selene)
I've checked all my books (even those without a proper date on GR) for published the 14th and only found one. I don't have it and it was published this year, so it costs a bit, didn't plan on reading it anytime soon.Just a tip when checking dates on GR (most of you probably know this, but I mention it anyway): A lot of the books with published date first of a month turn out to be wrong, not sure why this is. The month is often correct, but usually it is another date. So it could be an idea to doublecheck those books (Amazon or any other site) =)
This is where my last three books fit in the mini challenge. I've written it before, but none of them have been used, so I just repeat it here=)Den Eldste
will work for 2.1, 3.2, 7.3 (blacksmith named Rhuna).
Ice
5.6 snow on cover (at least snowcrystals, may need second opinion)
7.1 Author with initial D or F (Author Sarah Beth Durst
The Buried Giant
6.5 Read a book that was annoying to you. (the characters in this book just go around and around the same things over and over again, nothing is completely clear, they reapeat themselves...just ugh!)
8.3 Book with dragon
The Buried Giant
date: 11/29/15
pg:345
Setting: Britain, right after King Arthur's era.
characters: Axl, Beatrice, Wistan, Edwin, Gawain
Misc: Dragon, knight, mystical mist, a long journey, memories lost, ogres, horse named Horace. First sentence starts with "you".
Finished The Buried Giant, 345pg, doesn't fit any goal. Not quite my usual read so it took longer to finish it...
I plan on reading Memoirs of a Geisha which fits the Asia goal, but won't start until next week at the earliest.

If you like the Scottish Highlands, history and romance this is perfect for you=)

About the mini-challenge:when it says "Team members can complete a task more than once", it means that books can be used for a goal already completed? (unless it fits an uncompleted goal of course, then it would be better to use it on that one)
Wow, we've had a good run today. I'm still working on
, about halfway through. The cover is quite red/scarlet, but not much gold, so not sure it will work for that goal.

Finished Ice
. No goal. Will add to the read thread.Where it works in mini-challenge:
5.6 snow on cover (at least snowcrystals, may need second opinion)
7.1 Author with initial D or F (Author Sarah Beth Durst)
I think Den Eldste by Christopher Paolini has 71 chapters. They are not numbered though, so it would be nice if someone doublechecked.
