NEW GOAL

Read a book with a zombie

Would SHADOW SCALE, THE RETURN OF THE KING, or THE DREAM THIEVES have a zombie???

Let's do Abby...I feel like we should save The Idiot...sweet Prince Myschkin (sp)

KAREN -- Is there a character like that in A Spool of Blue Thread or The Idiot? I feel like those are two perfect books.

PLEASE READ

Erin has fulfilled the nurse goal (THANKS ERIN!!!)

I need y'all to search your memories to fulfill the next goal as I am almost POSITIVE one of the remaining "Goalless Books" will suit this:

Read a book where a character is always ready to help, takes care of others or is often taken advantage of.

You two are my jam! Thank you :D

It doesn't need to be a main character but it does need to be an actual nurse. Is the word "nurse" used at all in reference to these medical personnel?

Oh that is HORRIBLE! I'm moving back to California the end of January which means I have to get a new job (obviously) and I'm dreading having to like follow normal rules again hahaha

Ha! Right?! I'll probably finish No Country for Old Men late tonight or tomorrow night. It's pretty dead at work so I've been able to read here. I'm a terrible employee...every time a customer needs help I'm all like CAN'T YOU SEE I'M BUSY?! Ugh fire me...
