I like the concept of my yellow-covered book, but MAN it is slow! Good, but not a sit-for-four-hours-page-turner. I want a book I can binge read...
Lots of posts from me, sorry guys! Does the Never need to start and end? I'm on hold for Never Never, but there are others beginning or ending in Never. Quickly read through the posts and couldn't figure all of it out (lack of sleep probably contributed).Also, I really want took find a book with a medal or trophy. It's like a personal goal!

However, if you can find a romance book that ends with Never, (The Edge of Never, Sometimes Never, Tasting Never, to name a few) that can go in slot 1.
Or if you can find a book (any genre) that starts with 'Two', that can go in the last slot.
There are also a variety of books entitled Never Say Never.
The book I am reading has a gold object on the cover, if we still need that

Nothing on gold here...
Bethany wrote: "Lory wrote: "Lots of posts from me, sorry guys! Does the Never need to start and end? I'm on hold for Never Never, but there are others beginning or ending in Never. Quickly read through the posts ..."Actually...Lory...if you read never never, were fine!

I'm going to have to say no, it's a yellow teacup with gold trim :(
There were a couple other people with possible gold objects, though... I have a feeling I'll run into more in a few posts, hehe.
Bethany wrote: "I like the concept of my yellow-covered book, but MAN it is slow! Good, but not a sit-for-four-hours-page-turner. I want a book I can binge read..."I had a spate of "thinking books" lately too - hang in there! Not everything moves at the pace of urban fantasy, hehehe ;)
Raven/Zuri wrote: "The book I am reading has a gold object on the cover, if we still need that"Raven, is it this one?
If so that works! Keep on reading, and when you're done mark the book as read and put it on your book-challenges-for-groups shelf. That way we can use it for the gold object task or anything else that may come up :)

Yeaaa! I'll put this in the goal post :D
For those who are determined to find a book with a medal - I did a quick title search for "Olympic" and saw several options. Most were non-fiction, as far as I could see. But yea options! :)

Just Like Heaven but right now it doesnt seem to fit anything. If anyone sees a connection in the present or future tasks 'pretty please' let me know :)

Oh dear. Maybe we can aim for the tasks in bonuses one and two first, hehe.
AAHH not again!? Also, I've claimed Bonus 2D ◈ Read a book the characters dance but that book is absolutely terrible, I think I'm gonna DNF it. Could you shift me to Bonus 1C ◈ Read a book with a weapon, other than a shield or sword, on the cover.? Thanks :PKazen wrote: "Oh dear.

Kazen? Not to be a poophead, but you told Raven she could use her book for gold object and then later gave the task to Ella.
I highly recommend
for a book with a door on the cover. I woulf do it if I hadn't just read it.
Bethany wrote: "Kazen? Not to be a poophead, but you told Raven she could use her book for gold object and then later gave the task to Ella."You are not being a poophead. :)
I asked for clarification but there hasn't been an answer yet ^^;;

I know these threads are supposed to be generally PG-rated, and when I censor myself I end up saying things like poophead.
Ooh! I just found out that one of the books I've been wanting to read has centaurs! Can I claim bonus 2C?
