Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) Any team that completes all 25 days of Tower Teams goals by Jan 15th will receive a bonus MEGA-BOON.
This boon will remove ALL 5 of your current open goals, so chose when to use it wisely.
For those team that earn the MEGA-BOON you can use it at any time until Jan 31st, 2016, by requesting it to be used in the Captains Group ; Boon Fulfillment Centre.

Using Pieces

*searching*

We just had this and it was a bear to find. I think I had another one I'll have to search again.

Not to me but if you can sell it ...


message 1114: by Venecia (new)

Venecia | 995 comments I found a book that I can read that is shelved as Random. I have a few others to read before I can even look at it, so if someone else has something they want to read they can go ahead.

If you who is supposed to be on my side don't buy it, I don't stand a chance :P

ok, another couple dancing
The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks
but since it's Sparks I need to prepare myself for it (you know, seclusion, tissues, allergy excuses,...), so if anyone has something better, please step in :)
Other options I have is crowd at concerts, but somehow I don't think that will pass as dancing :P

I have a Georgette Heyer with dancing on the cover, but it has to wait until I finish my December challenges. I have more books than days to read them now :-(

You joke, but I have a serious challenge addiction. That is why i'm not even looking at the ones in this group...at least until next year :-D


message 1119: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9625 comments Good thing I don't have addiction problem. I'm totally in control *grins*

Does that mean you don't want to pair up with me for that game of thrones thing? *looks innocently*


message 1120: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9625 comments OK, I'm gonna leave dancing couple little longer (I'm really not in the mood to cry my eyes out). I did find graveyard and lightning on covers, so I can start on those. (of course if nobody else is working on them)

I signed up as single since I didn't want to be on a big team, but I'd partner with you. We play well together. :-D

I have one I can start next.
Ugh shoot I actually don't have this one on my kindle and there is a wait list at the library.

We still have Taryn's The Glass Magician or Tina's Soulless
I think they both could work for this. Both are set in England (if not London) and both are more-less steampunk.


message 1126: by Stacie (new)

Stacie (thesebooksaremyfriends) I was thinking The Glass Magician but I wasn't sure of what exactly an alternate history was. Thanks Tea!

message 1142: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (rebeccasg) | 3801 comments I know this has been asked before....but is the "first page of top shelves" the same as the title page? Or when you click on "see top shelves" (this seems like an obvious question, but just want to be positive before I find one).

When you click on see top shelves, it must be listed there to count :)
