I read the book Storm, and one of the character's takes in her BFF's kid after the kid becomes orphaned. In the olden days this would be considered a ward, but since it's in the 2000's when the book takes place the term isn't used.

But I think it would meet the requirements. Thoughts?

[Dragana]

Well from my point of view, maybe the toughest is Alexandrite goal. I got one book that fits it, but it's been two? weeks and I'm only 50 pages in. (I'm more in a mood for romance then hardcore fantasy lately.)

[Judith]

I went ahead and booned the alexanderite goal

[Judith]

Dragana wrote: "I have read Fancy Pants from 'Wynette, Texas' series. What do you think, can it work for goal where book has to have state name in title?"

Part of me wants to say yes, but I think someone asked that question before to the mods and the answer was no because the name of the series isn't actually the title of the book.

But I'm still half tempted to say it should count :)

FYI - the current audiobook I'm listening too has a Shakespeare quote in it so I'll have that one done later today.

[Judith]

I did find a freebie book that has Dakota in the title, which I think should count for the US state if we don't use yours. I just haven't had a chance to start it yet.

It's OK. I came and entered additional data for my books.

I just grabbed Russian Winter, so I can read it next for "Read a book with a Language in the title (e.g. English, Spanish, French, Russian, Portuguese, etc.)"

[Judith]

oh good, because I think we'll need to boon the 'title starts with X' goal.

Yeah, that's the hardest one.

[Judith]

Used: The Geography of Genius: A Search for the World's Most Creative Places from Ancient Athens to Silicon Valley read by Caroline for top shelf of available.

goals still taking forever to load a new one, so I'm not sure what the replacement goal is.

[Dragana]

New goal is: Read a book which has the main location (setting) as a bus, train, or other road based vehicle

I wonder if The Girl on the Train or Around the World in Eighty Days can work?

[Judith]

I would say Girl on the Train should work.

[Judith]

Used: The Girl on the Train read by me for main setting car/train/road based vehicle.

Used: Old Man's War read by Caroline for author's first name one of the 100 most popular Irish boy names.

I booned the goal for top shelf of 2001, so we are short two goals right now. This super slow goal updating is so frustrating. But we are getting really close to the 25,000 total.

[Dragana]

New goals are here!
