Helen (hpfish13) | 272 comments I have a question about the "Places" category. Would a fictional place like Oz qualify?

Marina (sonnenbarke) ✔24. Paranormal Being – My Alien Self: My Journey Back to Me

(For this one I decided to use the adjective "alien" as if it meant "extraterrestrial", although this is definitely not the case in the book. I hope that's all right!)

message 518: by Caro (new)

Caro (karopi) | 995 comments I am confuse... (again!)... Can a vendetta be consider an emotion or a feeling? Sometimes we listen that people says that they think somebody is taking against them as a Vendetta.... Sometimes is an action, but it comes from feelings... Any suggestions?

But you're almost halfway through, Adriana!! You do know it's a year long challenge?! :-P

You've got over 10.5 months to get through 15 books! You're smashing it!

Meanwhile, I've completed 3/25 with:
1. Color - Wild Lavender by Belinda Alexandra - 4 stars
5. First Name - Helena by Jo-Anne Berthelsen - 3 stars
17. Elements - Death by Water by Kerry Greenwood - 3 stars

Oh, and Cassandra, I'm Kathryn from Australia :-)

message 530: by Cassandra (new)

Cassandra | 5832 comments Welcome to the challenge, Camille and Courtney! Glad to have you.

Caro, I think that works. Sometimes in English we say that you "have a vendetta against someone" which is more of an emotion than an action.

Adriana, this challenge definitely requires more thought to find books that fit, but you're off to a great start! I'm sure you'll fit them all in before the end of the year. :)


message 531: by Robyn (new)

Robyn | -15 comments finished Court of Nightfall (The Nightfall Chronicles, #1) by Karpov Kinrade which will fill in for number 18 time of day. I think this brings my total to 3/25 but I need to check my members corner :)

Thanks a lot Cassandra! In spanish it can also be used in both cases, that is why I was having my doubts....

I never thought of using this book for Architecture and as I already have a book planned for the Number category I was goin to leave this one out! Will definitely borrow your great idea!
