Ok, then I say we use it for the goal. With our luck this goal will probably show up again:P

By the way, is there a reason line 56 on Commodus goal sheet is open/empty?
Annika wrote: "Are we allowed to ignore a/an/the?"I believe in the past the Mods have said to ignore it, yes.
Yes, we can ignore a/an/the. New goal: Read a book that starts with the letter K
Silje wrote: "By the way, is there a reason line 56 on Commodus goal sheet is open/empty?"Nevermind. Misunderstood your question. :)
Oh, cool! Thanks for noticing it was the boxed set! So that was one out of the way at least. :) 56 is empty because that's where our Central America goal was. The mods removed it when we used the boon.
You can use Succubus shadows for urban fantasy :)
Sorry Annika, didn't see your post, I used Blood of the demon. New goal Read a book where a character is a ghost
None of mine will work for that one, I can help you check the rest if you want?
yes please, I take Gabrielle books and you Commodus?=)
I've already started going through them - but there's a possibility that someone may be able to tell us if one of their books works. It doesn't have to be a MC and may not be listed in the blurb!
From what I can tell, none of the Commodus books has a ghost character :(
Read a book that contains the word peas
The scent of lilacs has "peas" in it, but of course we have already used that one!=P
Of course! ;) NOS4A2 has peas in it and I'm finishing that one today either way. So if we DON'T have it covered already I can complete it in a couple of hours. I have less than 100 pages left.
Also, I don't know how I missed that JR Ward book earlier, LOL. I *have* to read my W book before the end of the month anyway so it doesn't matter, lol. I'm actually kind of glad it's not needed for the goal because I don't really feel like reading it today. :P
I'm not finding previews available for a lot of the books on Google books, and I can never get the Amazon look inside thing to work properly for me. I did check all of my books, and Daughter of Smoke & Bone and Death Masks since I have those in ebook. No peas!
Anita's Queen of Babble has peas! wohoo!
Neither does mine....I'm thinking that this could be a difficult task, and we might want to consider using a boon.
Maybe after some other people check in! We read such a wide variety of books between all of our team members, someone may have one. I'm curious to see if any other teams have had the goal as well, and if so what they've used! :)Anyone have something upcoming or that they can read for a book starting with a K?
I have a K book, but I need to read a couple of other books first so I probably can't get to it 'til end of the week.
Does anyone want to read The Zookeeper's Wife: A War Story? There is a giraffe or two in it. It's a good book, although a bit long.
Annika, cool. Brittney said she should be finishing her Christie book tonight so maybe she has a K book! Or a giraffe, lol. But at least we know we'll be able to cover it at some point. ;) There should be a countdown posted at some point soon too, current round ends this coming Saturday!
Other books with a giraffe:
Life of Pi
The Secret Zoo
The Glass Castle
To the Sea
The Boy with the Painful Tattoo
Finished The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie. It's in my bookshelf. I am on my phone app right now. Also I have Keeper of the Bride by Tess Gerritsen I can start for the book that starts with a K
As soon as I'm done with my current boom I can read A Boy With A Painful Tattoo
Nice, Brittney! :DI was also able to use A Pledge of Silence for the next goal (main genre historical fiction).
Next up: Read a book with the word work, job, career or occupation (plurals are acceptable) in the title
Teresa wrote: "As soon as I'm done with my current boom I can read A Boy With A Painful Tattoo"Yay! :D I can't remember what team used it but someone used it for giraffe so just keep an eye out for it. :)
Denise wrote: "Next up: Read a book with the word work, job, career or occupation (plurals are a..."I misread the goal and thought we needed to read a book with any occupation in the title. Boo. I don't have anything that fits. Lots of books about careers, but nothing with the word in the title.
Great job, everyone! :D Delta, I did the exact same thing. I can take this one though - I just checked and I have
that I could read. I haven't read (and for some reason don't have lol) the second book in that series, but with mystery series it usually doesn't make a difference if you read a bit out of order. :)
*high fives Annika*Silje, I started the one I mentioned already, LOL. I figured it'd be quick and a lot of other people were already working on goals! :)
Next up: Read a book with yellow text on the cover
Going through our books now. If we don't have one, the W author book I started yesterday would work.
*high fives back*I have a couple of books with yellow text :)
You can use death of a pirate king or catch my breath.
I'd probably go with the second one - we have two of it :)
Anyone think one of these works for yellow text on cover?
I'm voting for the second one - we have two of it we can use :)
Let's go with Catch My Breath. We have that one twice (Annika and Teresa both read it) and I'm trying to save the Cowboy book for the goal where the first letters of each word in the title have to spell a word in case we get that, LOL. (Unless there's something else that only that book works for, obviously!)
If we haven't finished one with yellow text on the cover I can read
(if gold works as a type of yellow), but I'll have to finish a few books before I can get to it.
Read a book where the same consonant appears in the title at least 8 times
