Search for the book and most of them have a preview option, so once you click on the book there's a box on the left page to search for specific words.
It can be weird though, for some reason it doesn't work unless there's an exact match. So you'd want to search radishes as well just in case the plural is in the book. :)

Next that came up was read a book that starts with a D so I used A Dangerous Thing for that one. Then we had Read a book first published on the 2nd of a month - Mr. Right There All Along worked for that (GR says 8/2/14 and then originally published January 1st the same year, but I confirmed the date on the author's site) so that's another out of the way. And I used Reveal as well. :D
Next up: Read a book where a character is a writer Do any of the finished books work for this one?
It's awesome when I can fill in a bunch of goals in a row, but I get really impatient waiting for these goals to refresh in 5-10 minutes, lol!

Use the first one in the series, the shadow one (and yesI have forgotten the exact title atm.. ) =P


And on pg. 23:
"He was asked to draw a rabbit that wouldn’t keep still as he drew it� as soon as it had paws it scratched itself luxuriously and then went hopping off around the page, nibbling at the other questions, so that he had to chase it with the pencil to finish filling in the fur. He wound up pacifying it with some hastily sketched radishes and then drawing a fence around it to keep it in line."

I'll update now then post once I have our next two goals that I can't fit a book into.
We're doing a great job - we were around 91-92 defense points just yesterday I think, and with Emily's book we're now at 106. :D

None of my finished books have this, though I still have to check my current reads if no one has one already done!


Also, the other new goal: Read a book written by an author who was born in Central America

I think I'm out on the author too. That's going to be a hard one! I'll take a closer look at options in a couple of days (once I've finished my insane reading schedule for this week lol) if no one else claims it!


Yeah, that Central American author one could be really tough! I've been looking, but haven't really found anything I want to read (though I found, for example, authors from South America and the Caribbean with books on my TBR if we get those places in the future).



Two more to add to the read list btw
Blind Passion 20/8 198 pages
Faith & Fidelity 21/8 228 pages



I've got Mexican and I've got South American, but no Central American authors that I'm aware of. :(
We can always use a boon on it if we look around and still can't find anything.



Shame that I used my trial for Unlimited a couple of months ago, lol.
(Also, yay another goal finished! Will post the next one shortly)

If there is a finished one for this please let me know! I don't have time to go through all of the links until a bit later today. :)

It's like we get 3 really easy ones and then something ridiculously hard. ;)


Otherwise someone could read

I can look around and see if I can find something else too.







If not I have


Though yesterday I started reading


If you want to work on your current book it's up to you...I have The Host and I think Unravel Me (whatever the 2nd in that series is lol) to read. I have to finish both in August for other groups so I'm going to have to read them whether they fit goals or not. ;)


I have a BUNCH of books (like, a dozen LOL) I've committed to for this month that I have to catch up with, so I probably will not be able to add anything additional for goals over the next week. Hopefully several I'm already reading will fit in somewhere! :)

Yay, Teresa! :D

I'm updating with the new books now so I'll add the links in. :)
