If anyone hasn't read "The Martian" its quite enjoyable and would fit the known planet goal. I'm sure there are many others that would work too."

Unfortunately I can't do "peridot". None of the translations I could download had that word. Apparently most use " topaz".

I'm branching out into bible studies haha :)

I loved The Martian. Best film of the year for me as well!

My problem is that my downloaded pdf is the NLT (New Language Translation) tranlation and has a page count of 107. But GR can't very that.

This version has 176 pages and is translated by Stephen Mitchell but Idk if it has the word "peridot" in it.

It's all a bit of a muddle I'm afraid.

I just found the word "PERIDOT" in the Book of Job.

Quote: Job 28 17-19

17 Wisdom is more valuable than gold and crystal.
It cannot be purchased with jewels mounted in fine gold.

18 Coral and jasper are worthless in trying to get it.
The price of wisdom is far above rubies.

19 Precious peridot from Ethiopia cannot be exchanged for it.
It’s worth more than the purest gold.

It's the NLT (New Living Translation) version of the Bible.

Now question is how long is the Book of Job in page numbers? Can anybody help?

I'm not sure if it's long enpugh for the challenge.

I've had my eye on Pratchett for ages now. Don't know what's stopping me really. Let me know if it's any good. After my serial killer I might need something to cheer me up haha :)

From these list? I had to log out to see the official goodreads homepage. Hope that's what the goal meant.

Those are a few of the Humorous books, funny books etc. lists

Hi guys! Just finished my second book. I was a bit behind but all the messages telling me to calm down helped. At least that's how I read it. So, thanks!!

I love this website. Maybe we can find a book published on the 15th here.

Never mind! I found it in Cathys post.

1 hour 12 minutes guys!!! :)

I can't find the countdown. Anyone got a link? I don't know what time the challenge starts exactly :(

I'm in the mood for romance and has been on my TBR list for ever. The series is called "Castles ever after" by Tessa Dare and it features YOU GUESSED IT ………… a castle :D

So that'll fit the goal "character lives in a castle" nicely.

Love seeing what everyone else is reading. So much inspiration!

I just noticed we move around once we add stuff lol :)

Thanks for your help! I've tried a couple of things and it seems to be working.
