You are doing pretty well so far, I can't wait to see you in turbo mode :-D"


Oh I'm so slow right now. I feel so behind on my reading!

Being back at work has really cut into my reading time and I don't think it's going to speed up again unfortunately. Will carry on listening to audiobooks while I drive though.

I'm working on Random and fireplace, I don't remember anyone claiming any of the others.


message 858: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) As far as I know, they are all fairly open except for what Venecia posted above.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. But I think only Tea is reading it

Eni | 2349 comments Day 10 - Read a book that was first published in December for 10 points!


message 862: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3801 comments Can you search "tagged" books? Like is there a way to find a list of books tagged as "random" but lots of people?

I've been trying to figure that out. I know if you find one and click on the shelf (like if you found a random shelf), it usually brings them up but I forgot which book I found it on.

I'm reading it too. Think it will cover the mortician goal as well hopefully.

Would be amazing if there was a simpler way to find them!

I looked at the books which had been reviews few times compared with the amount of times shelves. Some of the books with random on the first page are Lunar Park, Clown Girl ,Skagboys. I gave up after a while because i couldn't find any i could afford but they might help

Yes!! Thank you....I was about to embark on lots of tedious searching.

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) Day 11

Read a book that has characters going shopping, or shopping in the title for 10 points!


message 869: by Stacie (last edited Dec 11, 2015 11:48AM) (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) NEW GOAL

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


Used Stacie's Compromising Positions

NEW GOAL

Read a book with the phrase "sight for sore eyes" in a book


Used Tea's Shine Forever

NEW GOAL

Read a book with a interjection in the title


message 870: by Venecia (new)

Venecia | 995 comments Read a book with a interjection in the title
Would "Oh, Baby!" count?


message 871: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3801 comments What about "What If?" That's one I already read.


message 872: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) From my understanding of interjections, what if would not count but oh baby would. I'm happy to get clarification if wanted.


message 873: by Eni (last edited Dec 12, 2015 04:31AM) (new)

Eni | 2349 comments google says: "In grammar, an interjection or exclamation is a word used to express a particular emotion or sentiment on the part of the speaker (although most interjections have clear definitions). Filled pauses such as uh, er, um are also considered interjections. Interjections are often placed at the beginning of a sentence."

According to the explanation given by the mods on the FAQ: "is a word used to express a particular emotion or sentiment on the part of the speaker"

I would say no to the "What If?" but yes to the "Oh baby!"

I'm currently working on books for the undertaker goal (but will take me another week or so as it's an audiobook) and will be starting an author suffix one later today.

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend.
