YAY Krissy!!

[Mama X]

Would this count for " book with a character who works in or visits a beauty salon or hairdressers etc"?

An assistant at the baths had fussed over my awkward attempts to cut my own hair. She had commandeered my scissors and proceeded to trim the ends, then had rolled my hair with hot metal tubes... - Magic Study

I'm really having a tough time with this one, without having to read a sappy romance, which is not my usual read...


Nevermind. See my next post.

[Mama X]

Wooo I found one!

"I'd forgotten how noisy hairdressers' salons were, the constant hum of dryers and inane chat, and positioned myself in the window seat, having donned a black nylon kimono which, I was alarmed to see, was already sprinkled with short hair clippings snipped from a previous client. I quickly brushed them off." -Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

I'm not sure what page it is at the moment because I just searched for it in Google Books, but it's there. :D So looks like I'll be bumping this book up on my TBR. What's crazy is that I used to have it on my TBR and when I found this book in the contemporary section, I realized it wasn't on my TBR anymore! I recently did a big sweep, deleting a bunch of books, and I guess this one accidentally went in the Goodreads trash. LOL So it's back on there now.

There are 15 people on hold for 3 copies, so it will be a while before I read it. So *shrug* whatever I guess. But honestly I have so many books to read in October that fit the "Halloween" feel that I don't have time for books like this, really. LOL

[JoAnne]

I'm glad you found one!!

You'll never believe what book I scored for $1 on a Facebook pallet! I'm going to go pick it up today.

JoAnne wrote: "WOOHOO Carrie! That is so weird!!"

I took it as a sign. The only other book I could find that I was in any way interested in (Eleanor Oliphant) is on hold for a while. I wanted to read a Sweeney Todd book. And here it is! Just in time for Halloween. :D

Are books that have a lot of pictures allowed? The Sweeney Todd book I got ended up being this one: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, not this one: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. I think the last one is a novel, but the one I ended up with is a book with pictures and commentary about the movie.

Carrie B. wrote: "Are books that have a lot of pictures allowed? The Sweeney Todd book I got ended up being this one: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, not this one: [book:Sweeney Todd: ..."

I just read the rules and there's a 150 page minimum in this challenge, so as long as the book meets that requirement.

That's what I read too, but I wasn't sure because a lot of challenges don't allow books like that. Then again... I read a cookbook for this challenge I think so... LOL
