In the book I just finished, the couple took care of two children they met on the street. The children are orphans and were under their care so I think it meets the definition of ward. Any thoughts?

hm, according to dictionary it should be guardian appointed by parent or court
but then again, I remember few historicals I read where they had wards practically picked on the street.

You read a book so I'll leave it to you to decide if it fits or not.

[❀Tea❀]

Well, Anubis got 25000 pts so officially it's game over.
We are 7th.

Great work team and thank you for playing :)

Now let's finish it for fun!

[Stacie]

Great work! 7th place is awesome. Excited to see how long it takes us to hit 25k.

[❀Tea❀]

NEW GOAL
Read a book which has the main location (setting) as a tropical island

*sigh* another one

[Anita Reads]

I was just about to ask for some kind of standing today. How far away are we from 25,000?

Currently we have 20840 pts

[Anita Reads]

So a while to go still :)

[Sophie, The other one]

7th is great!
I think it'll probably take us a couple of weeks, will be interesting to see how many teams carry on

[Rebecca]

Congrats team!!! 7th isn't too shabby considering how many books we had to read to get here.

Good game (or challenge) Team Loki! Hope you all again in other challenges or BOMs.

[Venecia]

Top ten finish, we did good.

[❀Tea❀]

ok, so since game is over, we switched rules little and now we have boon per week. That means we have one again to use it :)

Any wishes?

[Stacie]

one of the island ones?

[April]

I agree with the island one

[❀Tea❀]

huh, it looks like it's starting from next round. In another words, from next week we'll have new boon each week.
We are stuck with islands little longer :(

[❀Tea❀]

Stacie, are you going to use your book for wards?

[Stacie]

❀Tea❀ wrote: "Stacie, are you going to use your book for wards?"

I don't think so. I mean I think it fits but at the same time it doesn't so I left it alone.

[❀Tea❀]

looks like in the end both tropical islands are done :)

Read a book first published in April
Virgin River

NEW GOAL
Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as north-america - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable

[Sophie, The other one]

I've just finished reading Winter which has a main location of the moon - I don't know if that would count for a known planet...

[❀Tea❀]

Sadly, as far as I remember Moon is not a planet :(

[Sophie, The other one]

was hoping there'd be a loophole for that one... Can't think of many books (other than the Martian) set on a known planet

[❀Tea❀]

I'm almost done with Martian so we'll have it soon. It would be already done, but I was waiting to get new task in another challenge where I knew could use it :)

[Sophie, The other one]

Seems sensible! Nothing I've got planned to read soon matches any of the goals we've got at the moment

[❀Tea❀]

NEW GOAL

[Sophie, The other one]

So many top-shelf goals!

[❀Tea❀]

Sophie wrote: "So many top-shelf goals!"

Yeah. I didn't check books from last few days if they fit. I'm guessing you guys did? And you'd tell me if it does?

[❀Tea❀]

Stacie read random goal



Read a book with a body of water on the cover
The Lake House

NEW GOAL
Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as christian - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable

[❀Tea❀]

We also have a boon :)

[Stacie]

oh go me! i thought i checked everything!

[❀Tea❀]

I checked all books for christian, and found none. Which is really surprising with how much smut we have on our shelves *snikers*

Ladies, we need to tone it down and read something that won't make you blush :P

[Stacie]

But mooooooooooooom

[❀Tea❀]

Hey, my shelf is as bad as everyones!
Let's see if we can find a book that will work for both :)

[❀Tea❀]

Read a book with an average goodreads rating of between 4 and 4.3
The Year We Fell Down


NEW GOAL
Read a book with the word tumble in the text

*It's to late/early for me to go through books searching. I'm already half asleep, so I'll check them tomorrow if nobody beats me to it. Night! :)

The Stars of Fortune

Read a book with the main genre (listed on the first page on GR) as Classic
One Hundred Years of Solitude

Read a book that is in the "Must Read Classics" Listopia List (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/4...)
I'll Give You the Sun

[Stacie]

Read a book where one character stands by another in the face of adversity

[❀Tea❀]

Yeah, not sleeping yet, but trying to read in bed ;)

Tide of war could work (if I have it translated right)
Both MCs are fighting in war and (view spoiler)[their wives who are also their battle partner get killed. (hide spoiler)] You could say they are both there for each other in hard times

[Stacie]

Sounds good to me! I'll add it.

[Stacie]

Read a book that mentions a Greek god.

[Venecia]

Stacie wrote: "Read a book that mentions a Greek god."

What does that mean? Just the name being used by someone?

[Stacie]

I believe so but I can double check.

[Stacie]

I think since the game is over we can be a bit more liberal.

[Venecia]

I have the name Nike in one of my books but they are talking about the shoe not the Goddess

[❀Tea❀]

Venecia wrote: "I have the name Nike in one of my boks but they are talking about the shoe not the Goddess"

Hm...
If you ask me that would be stretching it and if this was still challenge I'd say no way. But since we are doing this for fun, I'll let you decide yes or no. Especially since I'd need to know which book you are talking about :)


That said, in my current book there is school called Hecate, but they do mention goddess in one sentence when asking how school got name.

Use your book then, it fits better than mine :-)

[❀Tea❀]

NEW GOAL
Read a book that appeals to your mind ; where you learn something new
