Finished Redwall, 352 pages.

So has anyone actually asked the mods about the green book? Lol. I'm on the phone and can't link so I won't be able to for a few hours. But if no one else can I'll post and ask tonight.

No reply yet on zombie book either.

I thought you had asked them about it when you said to keep looking for the answer. Oh, well.

Nah, lol. I asked about the zombie book but said someone should ask about the green in the main thread because I had to get to bed and I post in a different group normally. Just figured we'd hear back before I was even able to be online and might be able to complete a goal sooner. :)

I guess I'll ask in a few hours when I get back home!

Which book are we needed to ask about? I can post it in the thread just give me the book title.

Thanks, Brittney! :D

It's Catch My Breath I believe. Green and black book. I know it's one of Annika's. I'm honestly not sure if it'll work but it's the closest thing we have. ;)

Ok I'll let you know what the say.

That's the one, the question is if it is green enough to count.

Is someone taking the zombie book? If not, I can do it. I have a whole kindle full of zombies.

I posted in the thread just waiting for a response.

Michelle, waiting to hear if one of our finished books counts. It has what are basically zombies but they aren't CALLED that lol. Hopefully we'll hear soon, I asked about it last night.

Ok..If it doesn't count give me a holler.

Finished Dead Heat by Allison Brennan, 405 pages, published June 3rd 2014. Set in Texas (partly Mexico), # 8 in series, 38 chapters
Orange cover with a woman, black + yellow text
Characters: FBI, hired assassin, investigator, gets on a plane
Phrases: Gut feeling, head start

They haven't said anything about the Green cover yet.

I'm guessing the vote is still out on the zombie one too... :(

Karen replied to a different question in the question thread maybe 10 minutes ago, but still nothing on the zombie. :(

I think in some cases the mod who made the goal is the one who answers, because the others aren't 100% sure of that person's original intent? *shrug*

I hope we get a reply soon, we're running out of time in the round to start and finish NEW books for goals, if we even can at this point.

I finished One Foot in the Grave

Would a ghoul count for a zombie? In Night Huntress they aren't really called zombies, but they live off human flesh. If they work, this book can work for the zombie goal. If not, well then it will work for Ghoul should that kind of goal pop up.

Anita, I'll add that to my question in the captain group. Hopefully one or the other will work. I'm thinking ghoul may not because in many series it's a separate thing from a zombie, but you never know!

Most of the goalless Commodus are added to the spreadsheet. Once I'm finished with those I'll work on the Gabrielle books a bit later. Any blank spots I probably just don't know the info, or there isn't a predominant cover color. Pub dates that are in italics are probably wrong (most of the January 1st dates are NOT correct) and bold dates are ones where the book only had a year listed so I used the date for the edition read. Just so you all know what you're looking at and what I'm doing. :P

I'm not going to worry about looking up dates for the incorrect dates or filling in blanks or anything, unless a goal pops up and we don't have another option. There's no point in spending the time now, since once the new round starts we can't use these books for goals anyway! ;)

I'm a bit behind, but welcome Wren!

Sorry I haven't been able to contribute much in this round. I've been so busy getting all my stuff ready for uni and working. Plus I was ill for a few days. Hopefully I should have another book finished by the end of the round and I will try to get more read during the next two rounds.

Everyone is doing great though! I loved coming to the thread and seeing how far we have come :)

Oh hey guys, this extra tab on the spreadsheet IS useful! I was adding on Margaret's Part Time Cowboy and it's 400 pages, so that covers one goal! :D

Also, got a reply from the mods on zombie:

I think zombies should eat brains and be undead people. I'm ok with them being called differently if they clearly fit the mold of the traditional zombie.

I need to check on my book because I can't remember if they ate brains or just flesh.

Finished Heir of Fire, so that will take care of the green cover..phew, took most of the afternoon, but I made it to the finishline=)

Ooh, NICE!

Waiting for two new goals now. I've already filled out another two because we got T author and H author and already had them covered. :D

One of the new ones: Read a book where a character gets a makeover Anyone's finished books fit for this?

Second new goal: Read a book with an exotic pet

Since we didn't use Catch my breath for green cover, we might b able to use it for make over. 5 ordinary boys to boy band wonder?

I have nothing for the pet, sorry.

I only have a dog in one of the books, and we have already used my make over book...

There's a cat in One foot in the Grave, but that's not exactly an exotic pet. I can't really think of a book that will work. If a turtle would work as an exotic pet in Wait for You one of the main characters have a pet turtle. I just read it a couple of weeks ago though, but would highly recommend it to anyone interested.

I read it a month ago and it really is a good book :)

If anyone is going to read that I think we should probably ask first if it would count as exotic!

Personally, I would think that other book would work for makeover too, but I'm curious what everyone else thinks!

They did have an entire team to tell them what to do (or not) what to wear etc..

I think it works too, the goal doesn't specify which kind of make over.

Works for me! I updated the goal and now I have to hop off the computer for a little bit. Silje can update while she's here, or I will be back in an hour or so. :)

We got the same goal again Read a book where the page numbers add to 4 (i.e. 345 pages =3+4+5=12)
I still have Taste of Darkness with 400pg, can try to finish that one before the end of the round.

This is what Kelly answered about zombies: I think zombies should eat brains and be undead people. I'm ok with them being called differently if they clearly fit the mold of the traditional zombie.
So I guess that means we can use one of the books we have?

In one foot in the grave Rodney eats all of the bodies, including the brain, so it should work

I'm going to check on the description in mine in a little bit to see if it fits.

Honestly, I wouldn't normally count ghouls as zombies. They're generally a separate thing, I think they're technically demons or spirits of some sort and not actual people brought back to life, though they do eat humans. Different authors describe them differently though, so if the Night Huntress books describe them as an actual human who was brought back to life we could use it. If he's just referred to as a ghoul he was probably never human so wouldn't be a zombie.

I think mine (Archangel's Kiss) should work - the Reborn are humans brought back to life who have to eat people to keep their forms.

Yes in Night Huntress they are humans brought back to life by swapping hearts with another ghoul after death.

Okay, maybe use that book then. We have two books in that series and I think Archangel's Kiss had a couple of the words/phrases that are in other goals. Either is fine with me. If Silje went offline I can update it when I get back home! :)

Finished The Andromeda Strain, 327 pages. I don't think I have any books for the goals, but I will look.

I don't have any books which fall in page count total 4 goal.

Hmm. Would Luggage count as an exotic pet? I have Eric and Luggage is basically a pet: follows Rincewind around, eats everything, has a tongue...

Luggage?! Lol... That's funny

Hahaha! I'll ask about the Luggage. I've read enough Discworld that IMO it should count but I will let you know what they say. ;)

Next up: Read a book that is ranked 301-400 in bestsellers on book depository ()

Denise I finished Keeper of the Bride for the K Goal. I'm on my phone so you will have to get the link from my shelf.

Will do, thanks Brittney!

This team is killing it with goals today! :D

Next up: Read a book which has the main location (setting) as a boat or other ocean vessel

EDIT: If anyone needs a fairly short one for this, Death on the Nile would work. I only read it in April so it wouldn't count for me even if I wanted to reread it already. ;)

I finished Magic Shifts. 352 pages. Kate is both a mercenary and an investigator in this one.
If the Luggage doesn't work for exotic pet (which it certainly should, IMO), Kate's dog in this turns into a hell hound, so we could ask if that would work.

I'll start Eleanor & Park next, which is #322 on Book Depository at the moment. However, I can't promise to finish it by the end of the round because I have a buddy read starting tomorrow, so if anybody else wants to take that goal before then, that's great too.
