Any of those should work, I'll just need to pick one.
I'll see what I have for the suffix goal too. That isn't something I really pay attention to when looking at author names.
Great. I'm half way trough the book with the lightning on the cover. I have books for boat goal but they are all chunksters... But if new goal does not inspire me, I'll do that one next...
Mod
Other than that, I've come up with nothing.
Knowing how strict the mods are I think they are going to say the writer has to use it.I know only Carlton Mellick III but I don't know if I am brave enough to read his books. :)

That's a hard one. We had issues with that goal before. I do remember series started can count, but we don't have any of those either. If nothing pops up by mid-week or so I might boon it. We have weekly boons now so we can afford to be a little less particular when we use them.
Yeah. You can boon either that one or jr/sr goal. They are both tough one and hard to find.I can go and read 4th book in the series if you don't have anything started?
Im almost done with a book 4 if yall want to use it. I have about an hour left in my audio so it will be done today. Im listening to
Mod
"Are you enjoying that series/would you recommend it? It seems interesting (not that I need to start another series, haha)
Yep I finished this one. I am glad that I waited to start it though. I read the 1st one a long time ago but didn't really remember it but then someone in my GR groups mentioned the new one was coming out this month so I was able to wait and do back to back reading. I really like Alex though and Death is really cool.
