Okay I've found one called Storm Chaser pretty sure that will be okay. Its free on Scribd so I may as well use that instead of buying something.

I am reading the 21st century one

Great. That is all but the ISBN one covered and we may hit that one by chance.

Think Our Christmas goals are getting out of hand so I'll just put on what is outstanding and leave the rest off. Its all on the spreadsheet and I'll leave the complete list on my post on books read for everyone.

Finished for the Sleigh goal. There was a lotta cheese in that 125 p. :)

I was perusing the goalless books and the filled goals, and I don't see 2 of my books on either list. Fantasy in Death and The Mistake are not anywhere that I can find--although they are on my read books list. But I may have just missed them somewhere.

Stacey thanks we are now up to date on the 25 days goals.

I need to add quite a few of the read books to the goalless books tab. I haven't had the time recently but I will try tomorrow. When a new goal has come up I have been checking each member's tab for unused books so I don't miss anything.

Stacey I read and it was so good, it was like reading an early BDB book, there wasn't about 25 different story lines and dizzying POV changes.

Anyone else hating the font ? It is hurting my head.

Thanks Grace. I just wanted to make sure I was putting everything in the right place.

Glad Blood Kiss was good, I miss the early BDB days. :) I'll put myself on the library hold list.

I'm doing okay with the font--but the links are so close to the same color, I'm struggling with finding them. I wonder why the change?

I can cover the 'religious theme' book - about to start this....

Thanks Karen. That will work :)

Just tried to get my hands on the current BOM by Celeste NG and the library have lost their copy. They had messaged the library I was requesting it be delivered to to say this but didnt notify me! Thankfully theres another copy but I'll just have to wait til its avaliable. Grrr

Uggh that is annoying. I have started it I need to get back to answer the DQs. I keep getting distracted with other books. Almost done with my one for page numbers add to 20.

Hows that book going? Is it good? I doubt I will read uprooted sadly. I can't seem to find it avaliable anywhere.

Ellie you have my sympathy. I don't think I could sit an exam again.

I have updated the goals we cleared a few more.

Will post them next.

I like it so far. I just need to get back to it and focus on it. It is an interesting book.

Day Fifteen Read a book that has a religious theme for 10 points! Karen
Day Sixteen Read a book with Christmas Decorations/Lights on the cover for 10 points!

I'm going to read next which would work for the lights I think. But I have to get through Uprooted first, so it may be next week before I get to it.

Hey Guys!
I'm sorry I haven't been as active the last couple of weeks. I traveled for work then spend a week at Walt Disney World with my husbands siblings and their families.
Good news: Today and tomorrow (17th & 18th) are my last two work days of the year, thanks to plant shut down. So, I will happily help take on another book or two for the 25 Days of Christmas Goal.

Here is my planned reading for the rest of the year:
Tonight I plan on finishing The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao for the 21st century books list.
I am starting The Paper Swan for the Backroom BOM
Then it's Uprooted as soon as I can get a copy.
And lastly, Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress for another team's East Asian destination book of the month

Meg I am so jealous you got to go to Disney. I hope you had a wonderful time. We took the boys a couple of years ago and loved it. That is great you have a nice break from work. Your reading is more ecclectic than mine. I hope you enjoy them all.

I need to start The Paper Swan too (please be better than Bound and get back to Everything I Never Told You

I have lots of books still to read for a Scavenger hunt I need to sit down and get them read and not getting distracted. A lot of them are Christmas themed so I have been holding off starting them in case they fit the 25 days goals.

My boys finish school tomorrow until the 4th Jan so they have a Ju jitsu party tomorrow night then down to my Mum's until Monday and we get shopping time and I get a day with the girls on Sunday.

Oh wow I hope you had a lovely time Meg I am so so so jealous you got to go to Disney. I'm beginning my pestering for me and my boyfriend to go to New York in May. He hates traveling and I hate planes but I need to go to New York. i am so jealous you don't have to go to work for the rest of the year, I want an office hour job, I hate shifts!

I may venture out and go to the library tomorrow but it may depend on how tired I am. First night shifts are so hard. I hope you enjoy your day with the girls on Sunday Grace. I hope its relaxing for you!

OK the font on GR is now starting to wind me up. Its too rounded, if that makes sense. Finding it hard to read.

I've found An Evergreen Christmas it has a tree with lights on it so that should count for the latest Christmas goal.

Sorry I've been a bit absent as well, even though Uni has broken up for the holidays, I have been at work full time since I broke up. As I work in a bookshop and it's Christmas, it has been very manic and busy. However, I am just over halfway through Clockwork Princess and All the Light We Cannot See both of which are books that I feel everyone else has read but me. I have the day off tomorrow and have absolutely no reason to leave the flat, so I am hoping to get as much reading done as possible.

Very jelous of you Meg getting to go to Disneyland, hope you had a fantastic time though! Megan, hopefully you can wear him down and go to New York, I would love to go as well, I've only heard amazing things about it!

Day Seventeen Read a book where Christmas is spent on the beach or under real warm weather for 10 points!

Day Eighteen Read a book where the title has a Song Title from one of the lists below for 10 points!

I started a book this morning that starts with a Warm Christmas in LA. I will be finished soon.

I can also do Day 18 if you want as Sleigh Ride is on my must read list this month and is on the the 50 best Christmas songs list although if anyone else wants to cover this one let me know and I will hold off on starting that one.

We don't have an unclaimed book that begins with L?? I never know if all parts of the spreadsheet is up to date or not

Meg wrote: "We don't have an unclaimed book that begins with L?? I never know if all parts of the spreadsheet is up to date or not"

We may do, I put the goals up just before I went home. So i didn't get any time to check. I did give a quick flick through but we'll have to try and get the goaless tabs all up to date. It just is a bit long to do so and I ran out of time to do it.

No unclaimed L titles and no July I doubled checked. I have a July one I can read.

It has been hectic here but once I get back from dropping the boys off tonight I should have peace to update.

Can we drop the word The for titles ?

I thought so.

Ok I thought I used a book I read for another goal but I must have used something else.

I checked all our unused books and none were published on the 30th unfortunately.

I have no clue on the House renovation bit , I just know it doesn't apply to any of my unused books. If you have read one that fits let us know.

When you see Lauren has read All The Light We Cannot See, it works as one that I've read that was in her TBR list.

Never mind. Twice.

Meg wrote: "Never mind. Twice."

Even though 'All The Light We Cannot See' was used for another goal, I am reading 'Clockwork Princess' at the moment and hoping to finish it tomorrow or Sunday. 'Clockwork Princess' is also one that you have read, so, if someone else doesn't complete that goal first we can use 'Clockwork Princess' for it. : )
