as in, they don't know where they are? or as in the other people in the book don't know where they are?
If the latter interpretation is acceptable, in Dragonsong the MC runs away, and there is a fair amount of her friends looking for her.
If the former, don't think I can help!

I was thinking same thing. I'll check since nobody before had this task.
I was also thinking maybe it could be where someone is feeling lost.
But I think it's open to interpretation.

I'll post these books. Not sure about which books are taken book I'm finishing up the So. Africa author.
Mod
I don't think that (other) Catherine's book has been recorded. see msgs 258 & 271
in terms of goals being covers: I'm ashamed to say that I'm not reading for any of them at the moment.
I go on holiday on Tuesday, so will have lots of time to read then, and will try to prioritise goals, though I'm only going to be catching up with internet intermittently. you don't mind getting a long stream of updates in one post, do you?!
Thanks Catherine. I was just reading that and trying to figure out if it was used or posted. As for you posting a bunch of books. I'm sure it won't be a problem. We'll post them when they're up and hopefully complete some goals. Have fun on your holiday. :)
I have a D author...Death, Taxes, and Green Tea Ice Cream..Diane Kelly...or Deep Blue..Jennifer Donnelly
Finished
for So.Africa. TRB with updated goal.
Thanks for updating Megan. You got to it faster than me lol

If You're Lucky by Yvonne Prinz

Page # is 288. Works for goal."
I got the paperback version as an ARC and it was 278...
Edit: on the backcover though it says 288 pages for the final hardcover so it must be what the count is for the final edited version. Not sure which one to use for the count?

Catherine wrote: "should say: I found a book with "aggregate" in it, which I can start next"I'm not sure if books we have were checked already. Maybe I missed the post. Give me little time and I'll check (I'm eating now :P)
You can start if you want to read that book. We will never say no to a book :)
But if you're going to read it just because of the word, maybe wait for me to check first?

safe home Tea?
I've checked mine (i.e. Just Kids / Immortal in Death / What I Know...) to no avail.
I am going to read the book (because I want to, because it is long so helps on the RPG relay race), the question was just to I read it now or do I read another book (to finish the Seasonal Reading Challenge) first...
but I am getting freaked out by being in the bottom half of the arena league table, so prioritising here :)
Don't ask!I got stuck in traffic on the border (Serbia-Croatia) for 5h, so at the time I was supposed to enter final bus station I just entered county. At least I had enough time to finish few books :) (To be honest I didn't even notice how long we were there until family started call wondering where am I :P)
But again I was lucky. We actually caught up on the border with a bus that left 4h before us. I don't even want to think what the mood was in that one :P
Catherine wrote: "but I am getting freaked out by being in the bottom half of the arena league table, so prioritising here :) "No need about that. Last time I checked (day before yesterday) we were still in the middle, holding our spot through whole game :=
But even if we end up in the bottom, that would meant that next round we are at the top :P

And if you notice purple text... :P
If not I should be done with multi-tasking in 10 or so minutes. I have 2 weeks of things on GR to catch up on.
Not to mention all the books read during that time need to be fit into challenges.

Sarah wrote: "I have a book for Read a book where a character's first name starts with the letter F. And if The Neighbor works for N then I have a book for that goal too."Oh! You are planning to read it! *phew* I just prepared myself to go through posts and shelves again to find missing book.
Yes that would work for N.
