Sarah wrote: "How do you find it in the book?"Mine are ebooks so I search them on reader (I stop deleting them after reading if they are not used for goal)
For others (if I don't have them) I check Amazon. When you open book page there, you'll see, in most cases, 'look inside'. With that you'll get preview of the book and if the edition is paper it has search option' (On top of pop-up preview window you can choose kindle or paper edition)
Google books also sometimes have preview option, but so far I didn't have luck with finding books with it.

Sarah wrote: "I found a book for Read a book with 1-10 chapters."I also have one. I'm reading now 11th so thought to do that one next. But if you want it, go ahead.
Still didn't check my books for new task so don't know what I have.
I'm trying to figure out what books are missing in spreadsheet. Mine (on Barca's) and Xena's book tracking don't show same numbers *sigh*
Carmen & Monica,I think I caught up all Xena's books now.
Sorry for messing with your spreadsheet, but I found few books missing from the beginning of the round and one of Barca's players listed in your (and our) spreadsheet. I believe last one was actually my doing. Sorry!
Could you please check if now they are all there?

No problem. Hope everything is ok.
I just noticed that few books that were used as goals weren't in the spreadsheet for attack :)
Yeah its just me now. First my brother was in the hospital and now im just going through some stuff and I'm just losing it because with the job interviews and one that was offered. I'm confused whether I should just give up on even going back to with. My hubby and youngest aren't making the choice easy either. :/Ok *taking a deep breathe*
The spreadsheet looks good. I just need to add Zanyar's book. I checked his shelf because he doesn't post much and I haven't seen him here either. I guess I'm going to have to PM him again to let him know we are and to make sure he post what he finished so we can add because we won't know unlessshe tells use. Plus he won't know the goals either.
Hey Zanyar's book could work for farm goal. If I remember correctly in the end of the book MC goes to search for another character and they spend time on a farm? There was a wedding on farm and that other character was a guest there. Something like that...*goes to check*
I'll let you know :)
Edit:
shoot, Amazon and google books don't have search option for it. let me see if I still got in on my reader....
OK so they went to the farm found everything burned down and left. I don't think that would count as visit to the farm.
hm, maybe that wagon train spent the night on someones farm...Monica?
Hahahaha I wouldn't know I didn't read the book :)
Ok, When Summer Comes also has lot of mentioning of farm but from little I can see I can't figure if character is living there or visiting someone who lives there.Catherine?

Tea im reading, well trying to finish Donners of the Dead in has farms in it. There's a group that come to the farm in search of a tracker.
❀Tea❀ wrote: "hm, maybe that wagon train spent the night on someones farm...Monica?"
No they didn't visit a farm.
Sarah wrote: "❀Tea❀ wrote: "Sarah wrote: "Finished: 8/20

Mine says 217."
Only edition on GR that has more then 160 pages is Spanish one. So I checked publisher page and it says 132 pages. Sorry.
Yeah, readers have different ways of counting pages. I think the go by bytes or maybe certain number of characters.I know when I open same book in two different programs they show different page numbers.
And I hate those that actually change page numbers when you change a font size.

Main character lives there...but people come to visit her...all her friends from town come to visit.
It doesn't say that MC has to visit a farm :)Updating spreadsheets with both books. Be right back with goals....
