Melissa | 3744 comments Absolutely Eldarwen! I can take one for the team ;);)

Lau Maia | 0 comments Yay then we'll have a new goal if we use the book for the m goal. I'll definitely be finishing my book today, 100 pages to go. The books are not that great bit they sure are a quick read.

Since Karen's book isn't finished yet, I'll swap yours in Lucy to get a new goal.

Good to see you back. I was getting worried... Going without electricity's no fun, but being without internet is worse, I think. lol

The new goal is "Read a book where the page numbers add to 9 (i.e. 345 pages = 3+4+5 = 12)".

I think we might have something already. Brb checking.

Eldarwen | 12887 comments Mod
Ah unfortunately the only book with 9 for page numbers is Rumors and it isn't completed yet.

I thought there were some more, but those are all 8s hehe.


message 1107: by Lau (new)

Lau Maia | 0 comments So I've finished Amanhecer (Crepúsculo, #4) by Stephenie Meyer

It will work for goals Read a book that is book 4 in a series and Read a book that is in the Amazon 2008 bestsellers ()

Pages: 753

Lau Maia | 0 comments I'll be reading next Uma Seta no Coração Do Dia by João Barrento that will fit the goal for Read a book where the page numbers add to 9 (i.e. 345 pages = 3+4+5 = 12)

Great, thanks Lau!

I'm currently contemplating which goal to use your Twilight book for, hmm... Let me check currently-reading shelves to see where people are at with their books and then go from there.


message 1110: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 12887 comments Mod
I'll go with the Amazon bestseller list as the number 4 in a series is on the Varro spreadsheet to which I don't have access.

EMMA, not to worry, we'll need yours soon as well I'm sure because with our luck that goal will pop up very soon again and then we have an option :-)


message 1111: by Lau (new)

Lau Maia | 0 comments Yep, that makes sense :) I hope the new goal is good ;)


message 1112: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 12887 comments Mod
The new goal is: "Read a book where the page numbers add to 7 (i.e. 345 pages = 3+4+5 = 12)".

Nothing on either spreadsheet.


message 1113: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 12887 comments Mod
Alright ladies, I'll be off for a few hours. I'll be back shortly before the next round to do a last check-up with shelves etc.

*yaaaaaawn*

I slept like a stone last night, and for quite a few hours, but I'm still knackered again tonight. Must be all that lazing around reading.. ;-)

is the countdown to the end of Round II.

Great job everyone!
I won't rush my reading now I'm off the hook for goals so they can be counted in round 3 :)

Btw, we keep going back and forth between 3rd and 4th place which is fantastic! Looks like we'll be at 4th for the merge and be merged with Team Alexander (was Barca and Xena)

So with just over 2 hours to go, thanks for being a great team Vlad!
Unless you have a book for a goal you may want to pause it for the next round so it can be used for future goals. Our new team name and discussion thread will be revealed soon :o

message 1117: by Teri-K (new)

Teri-K | 4 comments I just pulled Before Lunch off the shelf to start. It has 322 pages, which add up to 7, for Goal 6: Read a book where the page numbers add to 7. It will probably take me a couple of days to read it, though, so someone else may get that goal filled before me. Especially once we merge and double in size. Still though I'd mention it. :)


message 1118: by Melissa (new)

Melissa | 3744 comments I forgot to write it before... Heir of Fire is #131

Great, thanks ladies!


message 1120: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 12887 comments Mod
Thanks, Teri! Any and every book will help! :-)

And I'm just going to put this out there: if you feel overwhelmed with so many people on the same team once we merge and information flying left and right, and feel like you need a quieter place to let us know which books you've finished and/or are planning to read, feel free to do as Varro already did this round - use the original team threads to post, or come back to this one, whichever works for you.

Captains will find the necessary info one way or another ;-) Even if it could take us a while or two from time to time hehe.


message 1121: by Lau (new)

Lau Maia | 0 comments I just wanted to say... You all did great. Next round will be crazy but probably pretty funny. I'm listening to my audio new now. Will read the book for the goal tomorrow.

Team Vlad rocks!!

Let's keep up the awesome reading, ladies! You're all doing splendidly! :-)

On that note, I bid you all a good day/night as I'm hitting the sack.


message 1123: by Joanne (new)

Joanne I'm excited to see how it will work with so many teams in the same thread. We should be flying through books and goals left and right.

I am currently reading Timeless and Listen, Slowly, neither of which work for any current goals, so I'll make sure to finish them after the new round starts.

Karen ⊰✿ | 16375 comments Mod
Thanks Joanne! It is really helpful to have currently reading books on the spreadsheet. Saves us captains lots of time later :)
