If understand the crossword challenge correctly, we have to use goalless books. In which case I think I can spell 2 down (Greek).

Gray Back Alpha Bear
The Rosie Project
Ella the Slayer
Necropath by Eric Brown
Borrowing Trouble by Kade Boehme

[❀Tea❀]

I think we have books for everything except Y.

I didn't start filing it yet since I though to wait for Kelly to get back home and rework formula so books show up as used. Not to mention there are some spreadsheet problems in last few days (someone mentioned that gsheets are also probably celebrating new year :P). I'm having problems with ss in good days, so i didn't want to tangle much when they are having bad days ;)
Anyway, Kelly should be back home later today and she'd check what's wrong and hopefully work it out.

I really wasn't in a hurry, since it's going for whole month, books that bring points are already read in December, and I though better to still have books unused in case some goal comes by.
With my luck, if I put book into Jan challenge, next goal will be for that book and we won't have another one to use instead :P

[Nicole B]

fair enough lol :)

Do you have something for it? I have to finish the Shining before I can start it.

[❀Tea❀]

Venecia wrote: "Do you have something for it? I have to finish the Shining before I can start it."

Yeah, I have. I'll be done with current book soon and then I'll start it. I was kinda hoping that I'll read at least one Harry Potter book in order this year round of rereading.

So in Birdbox a group of people live in a house together. And they have birds and a couple dogs. Don't know if that counts or not.

It's little too stretched.

Looks like Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things has couple of cats so I'll go with that

[Stacie]

She has two cats and a dog so yeah, that works.

Nightingale?
I have it.


If you have something else blue/bronze or know of something we already have...
To be honest I didn't really check all covers :)

[❀Tea❀]

No luck with "The Hermit"
so

NEW GOAL
Read a book with the name of the tarot card "The Hermit" in the text or title

[Nicole B]

I've found a book for the Hermit goal on kindle unlimited so I'll try read it tonight :)

[❀Tea❀]

great.

Don't forget it has to be the hermit. We already have few books with a hermit but that doesn't work

[Nicole B]

The Hooker and the Hermit - don't worry it works :)

[❀Tea❀]

I'm little scared to click on the link :P

[Nicole B]

I was at first too, but turns out to be a rugby term xD

[❀Tea❀]

ok, I'll check in case we need a backup.
Or who knows what next challenge will need

[Stacie]

I loved that book.

[Stacie]

NEW GOAL

Read a book with blue text on the cover

Used Playing for Keeps

NEW GOAL

Read a book with the phrase "chow down" in a book

*searching*

[Stacie]

Nope, can't find it.

[Nicole B]

musing about the alternate history goal. Could Ella, The Slayer count because the history is the same up until after ww1 when zombies appear? (the book is set after ww1 but before when ww2 would have happened)

[April]

For the alt his book, does that mean the book is catalogued as Alt His?

If so, my next book is Doomsday Book by Connie Willis

[Stacie]

I'm going to let Tea weigh in on these. Sorry ladies!

[❀Tea❀]

For alternate history in FAQ
It's an alternate history to the one we know. So one in which Hitler rose to power, or the South won the Civil War.
It's a different history from the one we know, and can only be our world (no fantasy places/worlds) though the genre could be anything as long as it's set on Earth and is different in a major way to what we know.

It does help if book is tagged as alt his but it doesn't have to be.

Zombies seem like little stretch, since they don't really exist (right?) but similar books have been used, so I guess it's ok.

Now if someone is here to fill in spreadsheet, that would be great (my interent is acting up - for example, I'm trying to post this for 15 minutes now *fingers crossed it finally goes*)

[❀Tea❀]

oh April! You read Scarlett! And so many points! And we can double them!
*I'll think about it tomorrow*

[❀Tea❀]

[Stacie]

White Trash Beautiful has twins. Twins who play in a band.

How can we double them? Not that I'm complaining. And glad I can pull my weight every once in a while.

So the book is not Alt His and I don't think I'm going to read it. I know I have other options for Alt His. Have to pay my library fine first ;)

[April]

Ok, so The Virgin's Daughter absolutely works for Alt His

Story is Elizabeth I takes over for her brother (who survived to rule but died at 20) and marries Phillip of Spain and has a legit daughter!

Can't get more Alt His than that!

[❀Tea❀]

With January mini challenge (that Australia thing), which btw we finished! (Great job team with all those unused books!). When we complete spell-it-out, we can pick one of the books read in December and double its points. Obviously, we went with 'smallest' ones like Gone With the Wind, The Wise Man's Fear,... :)

We don't need it at the moment. I used that zombie book Nicole posted before you.
Of course, you can still read it and we can save it if it comes again :)

I started one so I can race you :P
For last few hours I've been hanging here, linking things, so I got very far with it (pg 5!). Not to mention formatting is terrible so it little distracting.

You will win. I just don't seem to read as fast as I used too. Yet I still manage 80 books a year. Guess my standards are just really high

[Anita Reads]

Hi sorry for being absent for a while again.

I managed to finish 3 books, and I've added those to the books read thread. None of them fitted the current goals.

I've gotten into a slump mode where I don't seem to read as much as I used to. I hope I get back into the right mode again soon. It's been a long time since I only finished 4-5 books during a month.
