Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) New Goal

Read a book that contains the word chlorophyll

I'm going searching.


message 952: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) I think I might change my vote from undertaker to chlorophyll but I'm still searching.

Venecia | 995 comments Congrats Nicole, my hubby would be so jealous.

Venecia | 995 comments I found chlorophyll, in one book in a couple of thousand :-)

yeah this is terrible! I searched my kindle and found nothing.


message 956: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3801 comments chlorophyll is in the book A Walk in the Woods Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail by Bill Bryson .
I've already read it, but I thought it was really good and interesting if anyone else has it on their TBR. I also recommend the audio.

How do you search your whole Kindle?

Just go to the home page of books and click the search icon. Type in the word and it will search all the titles AND the text.

OMG I love you. I was searching each book individually and gave up (this was a while ago) and haven't tried since. THANK YOU.

Once it comes up with the results you need to look at the individual book results to make sure that it has the exact word or phrase you are searching for. It also puts various forms of the word in the search results as well. That being said it is a God send in times like this.
A lot of my books are not in my kindle but a couple of thousand are.

At the same time?


message 964: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) In one of my books, the character had two lovers but not at the same time. I'm thinking that counts?

That's only thing I don't like with my reader - it doesn't have search function outside of book. Not that I needed that before this :)
I'm still opening each book and searching. *sigh*

Deck the Halls by Mary Higgins Clark for Day 18

hm, both?
You have 3 friends and each book is about one of them. In theory they are not connected, but all characters from previous books show up so you'll know what happened (not that it's hard to guess :P)

Thanks. Stacie is reading for that clue so I'll keep that in mind for later.

Yes yes we do. I'm having fun reading all these Christmas stories :-)


message 987: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) Venecia, are you going to read for Day 12? I just found a short book with a sleigh on the cover that I can knock out quickly but I don't want to do it if you are already working on it!

I'm not yet reading so go ahead. I'm working on Christmas in the tropics.

Sort your "to read" shelf by 'date added' and read a book that is within Numbers 1-50 on your list (the first column before the book cover image)

I'm confused, do you mean read one of the first 50 books after you sort or a book with a number from 1 to 50 listed in that first column?


message 991: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3801 comments Finished my book for Day 15!


message 992: by Venecia (new)

Venecia | 995 comments fyi. I'm reading a book for Day 17 Christmas task and then I'll be reading a book for the "Read a book with the word soldier, army, war or battle' goal.

Read a book which is set in a circus

To be honest I'm also confused. It doesn't make sense to sort by one and then totally ignore it and read by another column.

If you don't want to think and try to sort it out, I can take that one. I have only 49 books on my to-read shelf so no problem with sorting and figuring out by which column to pick :P


message 1000: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9625 comments V,
one of your books (True North) has note set in a small town/circus/hospital/farm, but to be honest I can't remember that it had anything to do with circus. Can you remember?
I think it was hospital or small town, but no circus
