Used: The Night Voice read by me for book published in the last month.
New goal: Read a book that is on your "to read" shelf that has the highest number of pages
New goal: Read a book that is on your "to read" shelf that has the highest number of pages

For me that's 1080 pages. I think I will skip this one. :D

I'm thinking with this goal, the 2004 top shelf goal, and all ears goal, we are getting close to a good use of our mega boon

I just finished book for another goal and I'm starting book for "all ears". So we got that goal covered at least.

New goal: Read a book with the phrase "Best of both worlds" in a book

New goal: Read a book with fruit on the cover
Other available goals (just a reminder):
- Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as 2004 - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable
- Read a book where a character is a ghost
- Read a book that is on your "to read" shelf that has the highest number of pages
- Read a book with the phrase "Best of both worlds" in a book
ETA: I found the book I own Undead and Unwed that will work for '2004' goal and I'm going to read it next.

That's good news about the 2004 top shelf goal! I think we had that one before (although maybe it was 2003) and we ended up using a boon on it.
I'm almost done with The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer which should knock out the last U on the mini challenge. Then I can start First Frost which has an apple on the cover (unless someone beats me to the fruit goal).

Great Snoya. I love that series and that's my favorite book in it.
Does it mean you have finished Cinder (I remember you posted when you started it)? It's not showing on spreadsheet as read...

I just finished Undead and Unwed. I had no clue that it fits any of our goals. I actually started it for the "U" in the title for the spell out mini challenge.

It's OK Imke. I'm sure we'll use my book for something. ;) I'm also done too. It was fun, although with a lot more sex then I anticipated. How did you like it?

New goal: Read a book that has the birthstone Garnet in the text or title

It was ok, but I don't think I will read other books in the series. I didn't like the main character very much.
I used the two books I just finished to complete the word "SIXTH" in the mini challenge. That only leaves the letter Y and we'll be done with spelling out the words.

Used Sleep No More read by Andrea for the new goal Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as books - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable
New Goal: Read a book with the word walk, run, stroll, crawl or climb (plurals are acceptable) in the title
Rest of the goals:
- Read a book where a character is a ghost
- Read a book that is on your "to read" shelf that has the highest number of pages
- Read a book with fruit on the cover
- Read a book that has the birthstone Garnet in the text or title
Finished Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, it fits the ghost goal. Mourning Myrtle, a girl ghost that hides in the girl's restroom makes an appearance in this book.

New goal: Read a book that is in the "Everyone's Read It But Me" Listopia List (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/6...)
Rest of the goals:
- Read a book that is on your "to read" shelf that has the highest number of pages

I used Tori's The Help for the last letter for the second mini challenge puzzle.

I'm almost done with the book for the fruit goal. And while I seem to have read almost every book I'd be interested in on the Listopia "Everyone's read it but me" list, I do have If I Stay which I've been meaning to read for a long time.

Used: Walk of the Spirits read by Wren for walk, crawl....in title goal.

I'm currently reading The Nightingale (and participating in BOM) and Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances.
I'm not really a fan of most of our goals right now either. Once I finish If I Stay, depending on our new goal, we may want to consider the mega boon.
Used: If I Stay read by me for listopia "Everyone's read it but me".
New goal:Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as speculative-fiction - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable

What are people's thoughts on using the mega boon? I'm not really a fan of any of our current goals.

I have a book for 'garnet' goal. The Fifth Season I am just preoccupied to read it. Can't read it parallel with other books since it's pretty complex. I can do it after The Nightingale BOM is done.
I love speculative fiction and I think I can probably dig something to fit that goal. (If none of the currently read books apply).

*grumbles* OK I am going to look for something that fits and read it tomorrow.

It seems that no one else is interested in any of current goals.
Maybe you were right Judith and we should use mega-boon. What do you think?
I'm thinking at this point we should use the mega boon, we don't have much time left to use it. Might as well cut our losses and use it.
I'll put the request in.

I asked the mods about your diamond question. They said it needs to be the shape since it's based on the cards

Too bad. Well it's still easy to find something with word in title option...
I found the word 'the chariot' in text of Golden Son so that's what I am reading next.
