Sorry to her that Angel, Fire is my favorite book in that series.
And so sorry about the cat too. I hope she feels better soon.

Found a book with the phrase "Add insult to injury" :) Might As Well Be Dead by Rex Stout"That man, your client, has been wounded in his very bowels, and to add insult to his injury as a mere mercenary would be a wanton act. I can't afford it." (p. 31)

AHAHAHHA. Fair enough. Give me two minutes
Or maybe not, since Apoorv beat me to it!
Sonia wrote: "Or maybe not, since Apoorv beat me to it!"That's Apoorv. Silent but efficient. :)
New Goal :Read a book with a prime number of pages
This sucks ! We have so many un-used books and none are prime numbers. Guess we have to start doing the Math now onwards :P
Ok since Kate has prime numbers taken care of, that means I am back to my old 'Read a book with the word hot, love or steam (plurals are acceptable) in the title' goal.After more surfing trough my shelves I found Love in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction (sf) which suits my mood more than Love Is Red (horror) at the moment. :)

Kate S wrote: "I can read Love in Excess instead Dragana. If you have a prime number book you'd rather read."Nope I'm ok We can switch if you would rather read 'Love in Excess' than 'Cannery Row' though. :)
I am thrilled that I have an excuse to read Cannery Row this evening. I greatly enjoy Steinbeck's work and have been looking forward to this.
I just noticed that the book that I just finished, A Month of Italy: Rediscovering the Art of Vacation, does have the page count of 337 pages, that's a primary number so it could be used for that goal if you wish.
Finished the book for the "Add insult to injury" goal.I enjoyed my very first Nero Wolfe pretty much :)

However, don't know if this may help...
Your link is broken, but I'm looking at the same list at the moment! haha It was difficult to find a list of just words, a lot of them had phrases. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Append...
I thought about reading Anna and the French Kiss, but the palindrome has te have more than 4 letter :(
I love the palindrome goal.. we had an interesting goal this afternoon (for which we already had a book), Read a book where the amazon ship weight for the hardcover is under a pound.Now, these are really cool goals instead of those publication date ones :P

Hi all, I just wanted to let you know that me and my family are going to a medieval knight festival so I won't have much time to read today and tomorrow. Kinda impromptu decision. :)So if someone has time and can read faster for 'hot.love,steam' goal, feel free to jump in.
Have a great time with your family, Dragana! :)
