Edit: Hm, looks like I already have right edition at home. Someone switched covers on GR so now my edition had blue cover :P

Hopefully this next one will recharge you and pull you out of the pit :-)
Still need that "U" book?Just finished Uprising last night.
I finished the book that fits the goal: 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)Book #245 on my TBR list
Read a book that is in the "The Most Disturbing Book Ever Written" Listopia List (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...)
Used Gone
NEW GOAL
Read a book where the title starts with the letter X
Is everyone ok? This site has gone quiet for 18 hrs!
I had a horrible work day yesterday which majorly cut into my reading last night and today, everyone at work is all about Powerball! Don't they know I have GR to do??
I was without internet so I spent my time reading :POh and we finished second January mini challenge too! Well done team!
Now back to reading, we almost emptied out our unused books :)
❀Tea❀ wrote: "Powerball?"The lottery. It's up to $1.8 billion for the winner so my office wanted to go in on tickets. They really think we are going to win some money. I said, yeah, the $4 you get for hitting one number. They are already spending their non-existent money in their heads. I'm just like, can't I just do my work or go home and read? Thanks.
But just think how many books you could buy! :)
❀Tea❀ wrote: "But just think how many books you could buy! :)"SO MANY! Although, after paying off my college loans, I'd probably have like $20 left so maybe not ALL the books ;)
I had a pretty bad week last week at work.Watching you too fill in challenges like a tennis match was keeping me going.
Can't say I haven't spend Powerball money in my head. Thinking about finally buying a ticket
I wish I saw that X-title goal sooner. I'd read different X for mini challenge.Anyone doing that one?

The lines are crazy! I imagine they'll get worse as it gets closer to tomorrow. We bought 26 tickets here at work between 4 people. 1 for each Powerball so we are guaranteed to win $4. Which means I'll spend my $1 on a soda :)

Venecia just finished it.
Read a book where a character's first name starts with the letter H
Used Breathless in Love
NEW GOAL
Read a book with the name of the tarot card "Strength" in the text or title
I can search for this after my client. I have to do an intake now and will be back later to search unless someone finds it first :)

I could go for fruit and/or dress. And I'd need to do more checking to see if I have 24th
If no one else has the 24th, I can do it.

Nothing I'm reading matches the goals at the moment, but I figure they'll be useful soon.
Mine don't match either but they won't be done until early next week and we'll probably be on 10 new goals by then

It doesn't matter :-P, I needed a light book inbetween my darker stories. Go ahead if you are reading fruit.
Nah, didn't start it yet. I just said I'd read it in another challenge.Read something light. I can switch :)

To be honest, I'm not really in the mood for fruit book. Last one in series was little disappointing, so I'm staling...Did you read Borrowing Trouble? It has truck on cover *grins*
I've already read it during the challenge so I can't read it again :)
❀Tea❀ wrote: "Venecia wrote: "That Dean Koontz made me cry so much. "Somehow Koontz and tears don't work together in my head. Unless those were fear tears *spooked*"
Nope. Most of the book was normal thriller but there were some really sad parts with the little boy and his family. I tell you first horror novel that made me cry.
Oh, I think every horror would make me cry. And calling for mommy and looking for my stuffed animal... :)
❀Tea❀ wrote: "Oh, I think every horror would make me cry. And calling for mommy and looking for my stuffed animal... :)"I meant sad tears not pissing myself tears :-D
