Morning team!! It's a rainy day here in Oslo, so I'll probably have a lot of cozy time with my books. :)

Goal: Mac gets taken to a couple of beaches by V'lane

Aaah yes, the beach scenes.. how could I forget about those?!

I'll go fetch us a new goal then, thanks Catherine.

The new goal is:

"Read a book with more than 100, but less than 1000 goodreads reviews".

I'll see if we already have something like that in our finished books.

Wow! So much has happened while I worked a 12 hour shift:)
Nice work everyone!

I'm hesitating to use Karen's "Naomi and.." because it has such a bright and shiny yellow cover hehe.

I'm going with "The State We're In" from Team Barca.

Yeah I did. I gave it three stars - worth the read, especially to see what life has been like in Afghanistan for the last 30 years, especially for women. It certainly pulls on the heartstrings at times.

It really does, yes. There were parts where I resented the extreme information dump at times but the book definitely gives some interesting insight!

The new goal is:

"Read an book where the authors name is also a word".

I'll go with Looking for Alaska by John Green.

The new goal is:

"Read a book that contains the word chamomile".

I have to be off for a couple of hours, but I'll come back to search for the word in our finished books.
If someone comes across it, or remembers having read it in one of their books, please give us a shout :-)

Timeless has chamomile

New goal

Read a book with the main genre (listed on the first page on GR) as Classic


as far as I can see none of read-but-not-used books is tagged classic

I was just doing the same. I think I have captured everything now

If finished Hamlet for the "method in my madness" goal!


NEW GOAL
Read a book first published on the 22th of a month

--A thousand splendid suns counts.... but would we rather hold that for an Amazon goal or just use it and hope for the best?

ok, i'll go with So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish for the black cover as I think finding a book tagged as Classic is easier

Found it in Armada Repent

Nice! I'll wait to see what the new goal is then ;)

The new goal is

"Read a book which has the main location (setting) as the USA".

Shouldn't be a problem to find one, the question is choosing which to use ;-)

I'll continue with my lunch then :)

Hehe enjoy, Tea!

I'll use Karen's yellow cover, since she's reading a new yellow one ;-)

The next goal is:

"Read a book written by an author who was born in Europe".

Edit: Used "Road to Rouen" as Ben Hatch was born in the UK.

Other stuff: native american (aleut) character. Pet Mutt. 10 chapters

What constitutes an unusual sidekick? Hit me with ideas, ladies! :-)
