I'm confused about this one. When I sort my list, the numbers in front of the books doesn't change at all.
- Read a book where the first word of the text is As
- Read a book that has a predominately blue and bronze cover
- Read a book with the phrase "chow down" in a book
- Sort your "to read" shelf by 'date added' and read a book that is within Numbers 201-250 on your list (the first column before the book cover image)

Just ignore that explanation about first column.
When you sort your TBR (ascending) you need to look at books 201-250 on it.
I sadly can't do that one since my TBR has total of 49 books on it :) (my real TBR is called differently but we can't use that here)
I can't get new goal (for outer space) since I'm getting error in spreadsheet. I'll try again later, but if it works for someone else, please do it.

~Australia Day Mini Challenge~
We never said you would have only one puzzle :)
So, here we go!
Same rules apply, but before you start this puzzle, you must have already completed your previous puzzle and spell-it-outs. (and remember, once done those books are locked in and can't be moved).
This time those teams that were at the top of the overall leader board as at Jan1 receive puzzle AA, the middle puzzle A and the lowest puzzle B.
Good luck!

Hm, my last one, might work. MC got out of the place he was stuck for over century. That could count as getting independent as he was depending on someone else for everything

I used April's book because I couldn't figure out which book you meant, Tea.
Go with The Liar. It sounds better (and closer to the goal :P)Need help? I'm doing some mod things, but I can switch if you need me
Stacie is a machine for reading wrote: "I used April's book because I couldn't figure out which book you meant, Tea."I figured later that both my last books could work. One left institution where he was stuck because of health, and another got freed out after century. *shrugs*

I see those as mostly odd...What am I missing?

Ignore me....
And shoot! I should probably go check if I mixed those last time we had that goal too
Are zeros considered even or odd, or not counted?
Venecia wrote: "Are zeros considered even or odd, or not counted?"Zeros are even. Only that don't count are X or another letter if it's on there. That's why kindle edition's isbn don't work
Venecia wrote: "Are zeros considered even or odd, or not counted?"Pretty sure you don't count the 0.
