Team Thor Showing 501-550 of 1,055

[Judith]

It was a no, not surprised with the answer but thought it was worth a shot asking

[Dragana]

It was worth a chance. I read two books, maybe they will fit some goals. I'll try to enter them as soon as my kid lets me. He has been extra cranky these last couple of days.

[Judith]

2nd goal for 25 Days of TT is:

Read a book with cookies on the cover for 10 points.

Books for this goal have to be started 12/3/2015 or later.


I'm reading a book with a red cover right now, so the first goal will be taken care of.

[Judith]

We have every category filled for the Norse Teams Mini challenge. We can still get points for each book we complete up through 12/15, but we have the bonus points for completing everything.

Good job Team :)

Hello team,

Just letting you know that I'll be away for next 10 days. Karsyn (and other mods) will be here to help if you need it. I won't have internet connection so I won't be able to do anything until I get back.

Be good while I'm gone :)

[Judith]

Safe travels Tea!

[❀Tea❀]

Thanks :)

[sonya]

Safe travels tea

[Karsyn]

Hi team Thor!

I'm be around while Tea's gone, if anyone needs anything. I know the other mods will be checking in on y'all as well, but feel free to contact me anytime. I have a lot of free time on my hands, so if you need anything, I'm around to give a shout out to.

I'm captain of Anubis, so you can always catch me there as well.

[Caitlyn]

Just checking in. It's been a slow month for reading.

[Dragana]

Everyone are so quiet. Still tired from Thanksgiving? ;)

Found the book I want to read that works for current goals. (Yay!) So, I'm going to read next.

[Imke]

Used Just One Taste read by Imke for the goal: Read a book with a top shelf (first page) as military

New goal: Read a book where a person fulfills their dream

[Imke]

Not tired from Thanksgiving, just from working very hard. It's a very busy time at work at the moment, but I have today of.

I believe Les Miserables works for the new goal

[Judith]

It should, I'd say the French Revolution was a real event :)

I won't be near an actual computer until late this evening. I'm spending the day with my cousin and her 3 year old triplets. Should be an exhaustingly fun day :)

[Judith]

25 Days of TT Day 3 Goal:

Read a book with a holiday in the title

Read a book with the word Santa in the text

Only books read on 12/5 or later can count for this goal.

[[deleted user]]

I've just finished Vanishing Girls. I'm not sure if it fits the facial feature goal. If not, I got another book at hand that I can read for that goal :)

I don't think Vanishing Girls will work for that goal. It needs to have the facial feature word in the title of the book. But if you have another on hand that will work, that's excellent!

[Judith]

Used: The Hangman's Daughter read by me for top shelf of german.

New Goal: Read a book with with phrase "Best of Both Worlds"

[Judith]

Day 5 25 Days of TT Goal:

[Dragana]

This will definitely be a challenge.

I think my favorite read for TT is The Paper Swan. I read it specifically to meet a TT goal and the book completely surprised me.

[Dragana]

Used The Originals read by Andrea for goal: Read a book with the phrase ""Best of both worlds"" in a book

Used The White Queen read by Wren for goal: Read a book with the main genre (listed on the first page on GR) as Historical Fiction

I had bad luck picking contemporaries for TT and very good luck with fantasy.
I liked Warbreaker the most, although since it's chuky fantasy it might not be for anyone.
Honorable mentions are: Soulless (funny and cute, great for pnr and hr fans) & Sweep in Peace (fun and complex uf).

Actually, it won't. I did some poking around and remembered I have the Barbara Kingsolver book:

which has a bunch of pigs on the cover.

I can't believe it. Great find Judith. :)

[Judith]

Did some more poking around . . .

Used: Rainbow's End read by me for top shelf of random.

New goal: Read a book where characters go to the movies

Let Imke/Dragana/me know if one of the goalless books meets this goal, it's hard to tell if one of them will work from the information we have on the goalless tab.

[Judith]

Used: Career of Evil read by Imke for book with work, job, career, occupation in title.

New goal: Read a book with a guitar or other musical instrument on the cover.

In Lover Enshrined John Matthew and Cormia go to see a movie, but it is in an in house movie theater, so I'm not sure it will count.

I think it should, I mean if it was their living room, I'd say no. But I put the question to the mods. We'll see what they say. Hopefully they are in a good mood :)

[Imke]

Hope so too.

[Karsyn]

Sorry I was the one to see it. I'm the strict one of the group, so I said no. You can definitely ask one of the others. I think that since the characters have to go out for the show/exhibit/museum, then it's the same for the theater. Sorry!

[Judith]

Well don't feel like a meany, Karen agreed with you. It needs to be public

[Dragana]

In Eleanor & Park they go to the movies (Chapter 20 - they watch 'Short Circuit')

[Dragana]

Used Eleanor & Park read by Andrea for goal: Read a book where characters go to the movies

Used Dark Heart of Magic read by Shy for goal: Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as own - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable

Sweet and that's a quality movie too. If we all could read that fast we'd be number 1 for TT :)

Nice!

Would Grisha Fabrikators be considered tradesmen? They make and build things. Craft them from raw materials and magic. They do a lot of that in the 3rd book in the series (Ruin & Rising) which is goalless right now.

Thoughts?

I haven't read it, so I don't know. There's a definition on the link, with an example. If they make/produce something, than it sounds like it will work.

I forgot about that part, I think I was too upset to think about this book because I hated how it ended. Lol.

[[deleted user]]

Finished Their Eyes Were Watching God. It fits the goal book with a facial feature in the title :)
