Thanks Joanne. If you can do the Varro read books, I'll do Maximus.

I started a book last night which starts with "A", but I'd rather use a book we've already read if possible! :)

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

New Goal
Read a book where the audio version is narrated by more than one narrator (duet/full cast)

Will check these at the same time as the previews for "A/An". I'd better get myself some breakfast first! back in 5

[Joanne]

This is harder than I was expecting. I looked through all the books I could find in Varro (some did not have previews) and didn't find anything

[Joanne]

The only one I could find with multiple narrators is Dracula

[Teri-K]

I just downloaded the full cast audio of The Tempest. That would work, too.

I'm checking all my books for a/an.

[Joanne]

If we don't find anything already read I just started The Golden Compass today. Audible says it's narrated by Philip Pullman and a full cast.

lol
Yes I thought that was funny as I'm listening to it at the moment...

BINGO! Pure has multiple narrators :)
Still looking for A/An

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Oh, The Golden Compass may work for our new goal if I can't find an existing book. I'm going back to searching for...

New Goal
Read a book with a blue cover

EDIT - Love At First Flight read by Emma is blue

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

New Goal

Read a book whose author (first or last) starts with W

EDIT - Shadows read by Emma is author Weston

[Teri-K]

OK, I actually came here to say that I just finished by Patricia Wentworth. If we need a W.

None of the books I've finished start with a/an. I'll check my TBRs.

[Joanne]

NICE! You're on a roll there, Karen!

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I'm getting to know all the books on the Maximus s/sheet that's for sure! lol

Thanks Teri-k
Looks like I'll need to finish up my new book earlier than expected for the A/An!

Waiting for a new goal

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Read a book with a name in the title

I read this for all the food words in it (just in case), but it is our only read book with a name in the title so I'll use it.
Fatty O'Leary's Dinner Party

Waiting for new goal

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Read a book that starts with the letter F
Used: Shan's Book read 19/08 For Desire Alone

waiting for new goal

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Ok, we have this one again:

Read a book whose author (first or last) starts with X

So I'm just going to make an executive decision and use one of our boons to get rid of it (we have 4 available)

[Joanne]

Karen I noticed that my book Heartless is listed twice on the spreadsheet. Once with the finished date and once with no finish date but a goal listed (which it wasn't used for as Stacey finished The Summoning first)

[Teri-K]

Yes, please get rid of the X! lol

[Joanne]

I support this decision also

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Thanks Joanne! Fixed

lol I'm glad you agree Teri! Waiting for a replacement goal now

[Joanne]

In Heartless, Alexia's best friend is named Ivy Tunstell. She is not the main character, but she is an important one.

[Teri-K]

Joanne wrote: "In Heartless, Alexia's best friend is named Ivy Tunstell"

I love those books! Well, not the third one, but I love the others. :)

Me too. I have ready to go for this week. Why didn't you like the third one?

legend!
ok waiting for new goal. then I'm definently reading for a bit. lol

[Teri-K]

Joanne wrote: "Me too. I have Timeless (Parasol Protectorate, #5) by Gail Carriger ready to go for this week. Why didn't you like the third one?"

I really like Alexia and Lord Maccon interacting, and they were separated all the time. Plus I'm not that big a fan of Madame Lefoux and she was a big part of it. And I felt the plot was pretty diffused. It seemed like they just ran around Italy not having a clue what they were doing. So it didn't work for me.

Are you reading or listening to the audio? I like both for that series.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Read a book that starts with the letter Y
Used Shan's "The Young and the Submissive" read 20 Aug

--waiting for new goal

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

O.M.G
New Goal
Read a book where the page numbers add to 12 (i.e. 345 pages = 3+4+5 = 12)

Used The Gemmel Ring ; read by Teri-k

[Teri-K]

I'll start checking my books. lol

No, I'll check all of Maximus' books. It's just as easy.

[Joanne]

I agree about book 3. Having Alexia and Conall mad at each other wasn't doing anything for me. And the Templars... Boring.

I'm reading them. Haven't tried the audio at all. Nice to hear they're good though.

[Joanne]

Lol that's an interesting goal. Very original

[Teri-K]

9+1+2=12 The Gemel Ring If you need it for goal 6.

[Joanne]

great idea! My X book is taking forever, but I am at 60% and will finish this weekend!

[Kay Kay]

Is the letter N for the title?

[Teri-K]

I just got my paperback swap package in the mail and Nine Coaches Waiting was in it. I'll be starting it right away.

Also starting The Tempest.

I've finished The Brandons. Published in 1939 if we get that again. Narrated by a woman. Am I the only person who finds challenges change what I notice when I'm reading? :)

[Eldarwen]

Awesome job ladies! :-)
Thanks for taking over the Maximus spreadsheet, Karen!!

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Great Teri-k!
Yes, it sure does change what I'm reading. Which is good actually, I've been quite diverse in what I'm picking up

No worries Eldarwen. It is Sunday here which is the morning my husband takes our son swimming so I have a few hours to myself :)

[Joanne]

So before that big streak of goals I happened to check the master spreadsheet and we were dead last. Now we're tied for third from the bottom. Not bad, everyone, not bad at all.

[Eldarwen]

It was Saturday night here and I've been with friends, so definitely no GR or reading for me ;-)

Lol yes, Teri. I pay way more attention to certain things that I didn't pay attention to before, just because I know that certain challenges and/or goals require more specific things.

[Teri-K]

I'm doing a challenge where this month you collect books with "bug" words in them. Now I get excited when I'm reading a book and see "spider" or "lice". lol

[Lucy]

Amazing job ladies!!

Sorry I haven't been around this week, I work for my mom and she's been working me hard recently which keeps me away from being able to use the internet freely and reading. :(

But I plan to be back to business this week. :)

[Lucy]
