Raven/Zuri #RIPALEKS wrote: "I have a couple chapters left of it"When you finish make sure it's on both your 'read' shelf and the shelf you assigned to this challenge, with start and finished dates set. Once you finish your currently claimed books we can talk about claiming something else :)
The good thing is that any and all books you finish will count for the challenge, just make sure they have the right shelves and things I listed.

#7 in a series
Okay, that one is done. 8-) Today I am going to finish
it only has 16 ratings so we can use it for that card. Cheers Unfortunately the library still does not have A Year on Ladybug Farm ready for me, so unless it comes in today I may have to find something else for now and open up the "Y" book for some one else. Sorry

And it's a long one, to boot! ^^b
I found TA books for all of Card 2 but I'm holding off on entering it - we would gain a level and heal, and we might be able to use that soon in a boss fight.
Good plan! :) I'm plugging away at my book, but Tuesday is a little-to-no reading day for me. Off to DM my D&D campaign now, woot!Kazen wrote: "I found TA books for all of Card 2 but I'm holding off on entering it - we would gain a level and heal, and we might be able to use that soon in a boss fight."

ACTUALLY DON'T USE THAT IT'S BETTER FOR OTHER THINGS

So, good news! I'm pretty sure card 2 can be satisfied entirely with banked books. Suggest:Find the word ROSE in the Text - Grave Mercy, p. 143: "scented faintly with rose petals..."
Find the word VALENTINE in the Text -
Find the word DATE in the Text - The Tycoon's Temporary Bride, p. 26 "at the petting zoo where he'd taken her on their morning date."

Find the word HAPPY in the Text - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, p. 12 "Ron doesn't seem too happy..."
Of course, this is just one of many possibilities from these books!

Works for: ...?
It's 0.6 in the series, but it isn't a novella, in publishing order it is the 5th book, and reading order it's the second. I'm not sure if it'll count as a part of the series
780 ratings :(

This is amazing - thank you for all your hard work! I do think we can hold off a little longer, hoping for the boss battles to be sorted out soon, but we're so ready when they are. Bwahaha. :)
Pragya wrote: "This is amazing!? Google books?"I'm not sure what Bethany used but I do many of my searches with Amazon's Look Inside feature. A few books don't have it, but it works for many many things.

We are tied to the 0.6 written in the series heading there, so I'm afraid no series for this one. I'm sure we'll be able to squish it in somewhere, though. :)

Yep! This is what I did.

I'm certain most of the words on Card 2 are in this book as well...just let me know if you want me to look up the text.
I'll claim the last less than 500 pgs on Card 1I've got a short one...
So...are we not doing the ladder card anymore? If we are, Orange is the New Black is taken (it's listed for the 'words in text card') and we need:* a book ending in 3+ letters from the beginning of "Five Quarters of the Orange"
OR
* a book starting with 3+ letters from the end of "City of Dragons"
@Bethany had a 'dragons' book on the TBR list she posted, but there are literally hundreds of books starting with 'dragons'. Or if no one wants to jump on this, I can find a book after I'm done with my current read.

Excellent - Ray, this would chain off of City, yea!"

Oh, yeah, you're right, sorry about that!
I can read "dragons of autumn twilight," which is fairly long, or I can pick out another book from the library that's shorter. I'm sure that something will strike my fancy. I freaking love dragons.
For ladder I'm gonna read
WHICH IS SUPER SHORT so I'll be done tomorrow.
Hang on a sec... I thought Lory had read City of Dragons (I read the post wrong) but she just says she can read it. That was days ago, so her plans might have changed.Lory -- are you still up for City of Dragons?
If yes, then the ladder card will go:
1 TA
2 Lory bank
3 TA
4 Lory reading
5 Bethany reading
:)
