1 D, 1 G, 1 E and 1 N
what are we waiting for regarding these? I know Grace you said something about waiting for them but what did you mean? Do we need someone to read books that would match this??
I've put The Mistake for that goal Meg I'll add in the location if you can get it.
New Goal is: Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as 2013 - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable
Current Goals
Read a book with the phrase ""all ears"" in a book
Read a book where a character is an undertaker
Read a book where the title starts with the letter O
Read a book where a character's first name starts with the letter O
Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as 2013 - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable

As for the waiting the missing letters are all common ones and I suggested waiting to see if some of the books were more useful for goals but we have all of them covered so we can finish if you like.

Will I just fill in the Australia Day words and get it out of the way ?"
If we have words that match then sure, I wasn't sure what matched so I didn't add them in previously

The Tarot card one have to match the card name exactly, there can be some leeway with other words and phrase goals not those ones.

I finally finished


Read a book that "Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ recommends" based on your ; or a team-mates ; tower teams shelf (go to recommendations --> recommendations by shelf (on right) --> your TT shelf name)

But yes our team is amazing! :-)


Grace, I really didn't care for that one either. Apparently we are in a very small minority! I just thought they were all ridiculous. I think I may take a break from the back room BOMs, between that one and Bound--UGH.
I'm working on finishing A Darker Shade of Magic this week and have another going on Kindle and one on audio. I have a day off tomorrow--so hoping to get some good reading time in.


I started



Megan I think you just state that it was on your recommendations when you fill in the goal. I have lots of Christmas ones in my selection.

I'm trying to read the BOM A Darker Shade of Magic and its a massive snooze fest for me. It isn't bad like the writing is good but the story line is just so boring. Can't put my finger on why....

I didn't finish it the first time I tried to read it but ended up liking it this time. It is a bit slow.

I left work at 7 minutes past 7, it is now 7:51. I am knackered. My drive home is only 20 minutes well meant to be. 2 accidents on one road like a mile apart, and then the motorways are bad due to another accident and a car broken down. I am so done. I think this will be me done for doing anything with the sheet tonight, and tomorrow.

I know not the best I have one that might work for undertaker. I have covered O character.

Me and the dog are just cuddling on the bed together all day. Its been a lazy day. Thank you for asking btw


Stacey That might work for the goal. I have one for Undertaker.

Read a book where the author's first name is one of the top 100 female names in Scotland according to nameberry ()

I have a book for that goal. I'm already reading Houston, We Have A Problem and the author is called Erin which is 31st on the list. I'm like 75% through.

Read a book where there is only "one left" (could be one chance left, one survivor, etc.)"
Brother will work for one survivor, I finished it a few days ago

New goals
Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as summer - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable
Read a book where a character gains independence

°Read a book with the phrase "all ears" in a book
°Read a book where the title starts with the letter O
°Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as summer - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable
°Read a book where a character gains independence
°Read a book with the name of the tarot card "The Hanged Man" in the text or title


I think the "all ears" one unless we get something worse before the deadline.

I have a book for Hanged Man almost finished.

°Read a book with the phrase "all ears" in a book
°Read a book shelved (listed on the first page of the "top shelves" of the book) as summer - plurals and minor spelling variations are acceptable
°Read a book where a character gains independence
°Read a book where MCs attends a concert/art exhibit/theatre show
°Read a book that is set in a medieval time period (between 5th to the 15th century)

Will anyone complete something that fits one of the other goals before the deadline ?

That should be fine, I think there can be other objects on the cover just only one eye.


I checked out the teams spreadsheet and only realise now how close some of the teams are finishing this challenge. It feels like we just begun, but maybe it's me, I have no notion of time.
I just want to contribute as much as I can but I'm a bit stuck with what to read next, I will have to check out my shelves and kindle and see what I'm in the mood for. Then again I've put so much other books on hold.

You said you thought Uprooted would work for character that gains independence. Can those who have read it please explain why.

Main character goes to several concerts as new partner is a musician.

Yes, of course, it concerns the MC, Agnieszka, (view spoiler) I don't know if it works, we might need a second opinion :)
