Mod
Read a book with the word cornucopia in the text for 10 points!
Books for this goal have to be started on 12/8 or later
I'm going to tackle 'under the sea' setting goal. Found The Marked Ones (got it when it was a Kindle freebie) with mermaids set under the sea...
Mod
oh good, I was wondering what to do about that goal. And free is prefect. Hopefully it's a at least moderately enjoyable!

Sadly it's not set under the sea. :/ I'm putting it on hold and I'll read Deep Blue instead. I am determined - that goal is going down. :)
Mod
Read a book with the word kids or children in the title for 10 points!
book must be started on 12/9 or later to be used for this goal.
Mod
Used: Fugly read by Dragana for book with one word title.
Used: Red Rising read by Dragana for a book with a 16 year old character.
New Goal: Read a book set in the time period "Prehistory"
I selected the correct edition for facial feature goal and added it to my tt list. Sorry, for taking long. I had no idea that I had two editions in my library of the same book. I blame it all on my phone ;)
Mod
The phone app can be blamed for almost every GR problem I think!
Mod
Used: The Shining read by chiskeik for book originally published between 1951 and 1999.
Used: Reaper's Legacy read by me for characters eat pizza.
Used: Never Love a Highlander read by me for contains hot, love, or steam in title.
Used: Innocent in Death read by Imke for top shelf of death.
New Goal: Read a book with a Poker hand in title (e.g. Straight, Flush, Full House, Pair)
Mod
In searching through my various stacks of books, the highest I've gotten is 72. Or does someone have a book that fits?
We have about a week or so until our current boon expires.
Go for it, I think it will be difficult to fill that goal. The 61-70 chapters I might be able to do.
Mod
Read a book with a fireplace on the cover for 10 points!
I snooped on other teams and the books that have 81+ chapters they used are: We Were Liars and Carry On. I don't own them and frankly I am not interested to read them, but maybe some from the team is?
Mod
Actually I have We Were Liars. It's thin book so I didn't think to check it. I can read it after I finish with the pig book. I don't want to forget about the Days of TT goals since those are double points.

I am searching currently for 'cornucopia' word in text but all ebooks that have it I have already read. Neanderthal Seeks Human has it. Pretty fun romance, if anyone is interested. And it's free for kindle... ;)
ETA: I am going to read something with green cover. No sure which book yet...
ETA2: What do you think. Can
work?
Mod
Maybe, it's got kind of a green tone to it but I'm not sure the mods would agree. They seem to be pretty picky about colors and whether or not the color is at least 50% of the cover. I'd probably ask them.
I am listening to
as an audiobook which is pretty green. But it'll work for other goals eventually and I didn't start it with the holiday goal in mind. I keep hoping to come across cornucopia while listening to it though.
Mod
I think all of your books have been used for goals already. Unfortunately we can only use them once.
Judith wrote: "Dragana wrote: "Judith wrote: "Dragana wrote: "I snooped on other teams and the books that have 81+ chapters they used are: We Were Liars and Carry On. I don't own t..."I didn't start it because on closer inspection I decided it's more yellow.
I started Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children for kids/children goal instead.
I didn't know you are listening to Garden spells. So we got green cover covered. And it's such a warm, cute book.
Mod
Judith wrote: "Yeah, I just started it yesterday and didn't even think about it working for the green cover goal until you asked about the cover on the other."Your brain subconsciously picked the book. ;)
I'm still reading to wake the dead by Richard laymon
Sonya wrote: "I'm still reading to wake the dead by Richard laymon"I hope you are enjoying it, Sonya. :)
Mod
Read a book that was first published in December for 10 points!
Just thought I'd check in as I've been a bit quiet! I've not had much reading time but I'm off work for two weeks from the 18th and plan to do looooads of reading.
Judith wrote: "Day 10 of 25 Days of TT goal:Read a book that was first published in December for 10 points! "
Finished a book for the kids/children goal and started Blood Kiss for this one.
Mod
I've wanted to read the Innkeeper books for awhile and I saw someone used it for the cornucopia goal on another team. Seemed like a good reason to move it up my to-read list.
I should be finishing Pigs in Heaven later today.

I love Innkeeper series. Although, they are connected so you should not read them out of order. (Also Sweep in peace kinda features characters from The Edge series too.)
Mod
Im half way through an audio book that would count for the prehistory goal
Mod
Used: White Night read by Shy for top shelf of 2007.
New Goal: Read a book with a wheel on the cover
Mod
Just because they don't work for a current goal, doesn't mean they won't for a future one. That's how sometimes we have posts with 5 or so goals checked off. We keep using things on the goalless tab until we get to something that doesn't have a match.
This is supposed to be for fun, read what appeals :)
Mod
Day 12 of 25 Days of TT goal:
Read a book that has elves, reindeer or a sleigh on cover or in title for 10 points!
I finished
for Day 2 of 25 Days of TT goal read a book with cookies on the cover.
Mod
Read a book with naughty or nice in the title for 10 points
Mod
Read a book that has snowflakes or snow falling on the cover or in title
Used Fairy Metal Thunder read by me for musical instrument on the cover goalNew goal: Read a book that won a Goodreads Choice Award
Mod
New goal: Read a book that won a Goodreads Choice Award"
So many nominees on the goalless tabs, but no winners. How irritating! I have Red Queen sitting here, waiting to be read. I'll start that one today.
Mod
Caroline is working on the prehistory goal, I've got the Goodreads Choice winner, I don't think the wheel one will be that hard.
So I'm thinking either the chapter goal or the poker goal. What are people's thoughts?
Currently I am reading
for Days Of TT goals. It has sleigh and snow, so we can pick where to use it.After that I can read a book for chapter goal. I found one that fits.
So my vote goes for poker goal (if some trickier does not appear until the end of the week).
Mod
Read a book that has a religious theme for 10 points!
Mod
New goal: Read a book with the word water, lake, pond, ocean or stream (plurals are acceptable) in the title
