Anita Reads | 1677 comments Awesome goal run though.

Sorry I've been pretty quiet the last few days, but I've had a busy weekend.
I just managed to finish a book though, and I'll add it to books read.

Nicole B | 185 comments I love how I've gone from not having read any books which fit the goals to half a dozen xD That was unexpected ^^

I know. :)
First I did use your so you finally have some goal points, but then your book were best fit. Others that could fit had something that could work better for something else

Start by letting us know what is your challenge shelf. If you don't have one, make it!
Next, start adding books (over 100 pgs) you've started (and finished) from 7th Nov on it.
Then check our current goals (top of the page) and let us know if anything fits.

And keep reading :P

Venecia | 995 comments Thanks for the warm welcome guys.


message 524: by Venecia (new)

Venecia | 995 comments I have a quick question. When you say character, are we talking MCs? If other characters are ok as well how minor or major do they need to be?


message 525: by Anita Reads (last edited Nov 22, 2015 11:23AM) (new)

Anita Reads | 1677 comments It all depends on the goal. So I'd say put as many as you remember, sometimes the goal will need MC names, other times it's just a character.


message 526: by Nicole B (new)

Nicole B | 185 comments I have a question about re-reads. I know we're allowed them assuming its been 6 months, but do we need to adjust the read date to the latest time or do we do it a different way?


message 527: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9625 comments NEW GOAL

Read a book from a genre that you don't normally read


I'm listening :)

It depends how you want to track it. It's your shelf.
Since GR doesn't have reread option (I'm not saying yet since I already gave up!), you have two choices
1. tag new edition for reread - that means that you would actually have duplicates on your shelf
2. edit previous one


As for this challenge, it would be good to edit start read date, but if you make note to us that it's reread and you'd prefer having original date, we can work with that. You'd need to change finished date or spreadsheet won't pick it up.


Hope it makes sense :)


message 529: by Nicole B (new)

Nicole B | 185 comments Yes, thanks you :) I will do what you suggested and mention any rereads when I post about them.


message 530: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9625 comments Did you read genre you don't usually read, by any chance? :)

Sophie (drsophie) | 5690 comments Mod
Bound could fit for this... I'll often read romance, but this is the 4th erotica I've ever read (if that's enough of a genre change...)


message 532: by Nicole B (new)

Nicole B | 185 comments Not yet Tea :) was think of rereading the dresden files and a few other series a loved a few years ago.

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9625 comments NEW GOAL

Read a book where the page numbers add to 6 (i.e. 345 pages = 3+4+5 = 12)

*goes to check spreadsheet*

Using Venecia's Vespertine



Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as comedy - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable

Used Venecia's Size 12 Is Not Fat


Read a book that was originally published between 1951 and 1999

Using Stacie's A Walk in the Woods


message 535: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9625 comments NEW GOAL

Read a book with a Number between 1-50 in the title (can be spelled out)


*bangs head on desk*
I just used only book we had!


OK we have one with first. I'm waiting to see if that one works

If it was the only comedy we had then it's reasonable to have used it!
Impressed how quickly you find things to fit


message 540: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9625 comments Venecia wrote: "Why don't you save vespertine for Religious goal? "

Didn't think of it. I went with it because I didn't enter it in spreadsheet so to save time :)

too late now.
Guess I'll have to read it if we get that goal :P

It wasn't and that's the problem. Other book had more info so that was what made my decision.


Sophie wrote: "Impressed how quickly you find things to fit"

Practice from gladiator games. :P
And that's why we ask you to give us as much info. It saves us time with searching if we have it in spreadsheet :)

If it's a name that covers an unusual letter (Q, V, X, Y or Z) I'll tend to mention them if they have a smaller role!

It's suddenly got much much colder here; suspect my plans for later today will involve a fire and a book.


message 544: by Tina (new)

Tina | 97 comments A fire and a book sounds like a good plan:) We got snow this weekend, but hopefully the temperature will rise again soon!


message 545: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) A fire and a book sounds fabulous! Way better than being at work!
