Silje’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Read a book where a character's first name starts with the letter H
Margaret's book "Before the larkspur blooms" has a character named Hannah Hoskins.

Read a book whose author died 5+ years ago

Next: Read a book which has the main location (setting) as the UK
I think we can use Nidhi's "when beauty tamed the beast" here, it looks like the setting is in London and Wales.

Another: Read a book where a character's first name starts with M
I used Margaret's "Night road" with the character Mia Farraday.

Read a book where a character's first name starts with the letter A
Shannon's "Demon Road" has a character named Amber.

New goal: Read a book with the main genre (listed on the first page on GR) as Young Adult
I used Shannon's Prodigy for that.

Next is Read a book whose author (first or last) starts with G
Used the The rebel tycoon returns by Katherine Garbera in my shelf for that, weren't many options to choose from=)

Next up: Read a book with 31-40 chapters
Anita's Wait for you has 34 chapters, at least in the e-book version, so I'll take that one.

Hope nobody feel like I'm bulldozing over everyone else here, let me know if you do!=)

Nidhi, does the Only Enchanting on your bookshelf count for this round? If so, I've forgotten to add it...

I've got author with Z covered, will try to finish, but can't guarantee it.

Next: Read a book that is in the Amazon 2011 bestsellers (http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/...)

Read a book whose author (first or last) starts with Z

Another goal: Read a book whose author (first or last) starts with S

Nidhi's I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella works, I'll use that one.

New goals:
Read a book written by an author who was born in South Africa
Read a book where the audio version is narrated by a male

Inferno is narrated by a man, will use that one=)
The Opportunist by Tarryn Fisher, she is born in Johannesburg, South Africa.

If you have the time to finish both, Delta, you can do that=) That way I can be a bit social with the people I'm visiting as well:P

I do have a book that starts with X, X-Treme Dating, I can read that one if Delta would rather focus onn the Terry Pratchett book?

If we ever need a character that starts with X, I got a book for that=P

The goals carry over to the next round=)

correction on the new goal. Read a book that starts with the letter X. Unsure if this means the first word in the book or the title...

Checking to see if the goals carry over, will update when I know. Added The billionaire's dance to the audio goal, Amazon said 6hours 22minutes, so no matter which source we use it still counts:-)

New goal: read a book with a title that starts with X.
Think I have a book for that one.

Finished "midwife, mother...Italian's wife", no goals on this one.

New goal: read a book whose audio version is between 6 and 7 hours long.

I finished Happenstance 2. It was published 7th september 2014 and has 182 pages according to Amazon. Since I bought it there I will use that pagecount.

I've think that when this round is over we start anew with new goals and counting. All books must be done before the deadline or we can not use them in this round or round 2, since all books in 2nd round must be started after the 1st round is finished.

http://www.famousdead.com/category/wr... Here's a list of authors who died this year, anyone got something?

I have the 7th covered, will finish today I think. Happenstance 2 is first published sept 7th 2014.

Ugh, there's a problem, turns out we can't use Torn after all. The goal ask for first published and Torn was first published the 24th of January 2012..=(
