Is the word 'gratitude' or 'grateful' in the text of your book? (If so, quote the phrase and page or location in the book for an additional point.)

Just in case I'm not active this weekend (I have a busy weekend this week as well) I will be done most likely tomorrow, but worse case scenario Sunday.

I just rolled for the coming week and this is what I got:

Week 3: row 3, column 2 (Name a book you are thankful for - read a book in a series that you have started)

[Charlotte]

This is an easy one for me, but I hope that it works for you guys as well :-)

I will be heading out of town for the weekend and into Monday. If someone can post the completion for this week that would be great. I am hoping to post my completed book by Sunday. Will have limited access to WiFi.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I will try to post the completion post, but I am ahead of you. So if books are checked in late, I might be sleeping already.
Also, how do I count points?

[Ira]

I have a question regarding the grateful part of the prompt. I was hoping to read The Impossible Fortune. The problem is the only quote i can find in the book is this: ‘I think, umm,’ says Ibrahim. ‘I think I get the gist, but any input you
have, you know, is gratefully received.’ page 234 in the ebook edition i have.
I don't know if this counts. If it doesn't I will find another book.

I don't think it counts, but you can ask in the q&a thread...

I think one point per book, an extra point per grateful or gratitude in text, and then the extra 5 points because of the prompt we got.
Get someone to confirm though!
