Karina - I found a book called Lethal Medicine by James L Murray - no idea of the quality but there's a pharmacist in that :)

Failing that - a pharmacist who appears in the book would be fine if it's too tricky!

E.g The Pharmacist's Mate by Amy Fusselman

Fun!

Has anyone found a good book about a road trip?

Audrey wrote: "Has anyone found a good book about a road trip?"

The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test sort of works, although I've read that one already. Hopefully someone comes up with more suggestions.

I'd say LOTR/Hobbit and the Martian are road trips.

I found a couple GR lists by searching "fantasy road trip."

There's a road trip in The Man in the High Castle, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, American Gods, and this, Harry Truman's Excellent Adventure: The True Story of a Great American Road Trip, which looks really good to me. :)

I've already read The Martian, LOTR, Hobbit, and Hitchhiker's series. I'll browse the other ones.

I was also wondering who counts as a celebrity. How famous do they have to be?

Can rereads count?
Most of us have read The Fellowship of the Ring before, but so many of us are doing the buddy read now. And that is definitely one heck of a "road trip".

Happy for re-reads to count for sure :)

Audrey wrote: "Has anyone found a good book about a road trip?"

On the Road with Jack Kerouc should count, too. Possibly Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Wayland wrote: "Audrey wrote: "Has anyone found a good book about a road trip?"

Yeah, they are two good books and also try these:
1) Blue Highways by William Least Heat-Moon,
2) Travels With Charley by John Steinbeck

Audrey wrote: "I was also wondering who counts as a celebrity. How famous do they have to be?"

Hard to say. Would a biography of a celeb count? :P

Nico wrote: "Audrey wrote: "I was also wondering who counts as a celebrity. How famous do they have to be?"

Maybe a comedian celebrity -- knock out two at once.

I just remembered that I read The Crown Tower; that's basically a road trip (plus a heist).

This challenge looks like a good opportunity to dig into my 100+ collection of unread books in Kindle and Nook libraries -- not to mention dozens of owned unread tree-books.

I doing well but kind of stumped on finding someone with my occupation. I'm mostly a mom but also a music teacher and a cake decorator and an editor.

I haven't read it but there is Murder at the Glee Club.

I am doing two challenges, and some of the categories could cross over well enough. I am going to try and not cross over, though I expect that since the total is something like 70 books, I will end up shortcutting a bit as we get later into the year. Especially as I am starting 3 months late.

Still fun though!

If you don't mind reading YA, Bridge to Terabithia has a music teacher in it. Also YA, Speak has an art teacher.

Same here. Books about housewives seem rare. You might have to use your college major or a previous job.

The 13th Reality series has a stay-at-home mom as a main character, though not the main protagonist. I've started The Fairy-Tale Detectives. The grandma is a main character.

Maybe we found a niche market just waiting for our literary masterpiece :..."

Pies and Peril features a stay at home wife who experiments with coming up with recipes for various cooking competitions. She is happily married and her husband is not a cop.

I just receivdd an email from the publisher indicating the e book edition is free on both Amazon and B&N

'The happy housewife' by Heleen van Royen.

Haven't read it myself, not my kind of book. Pretty well known in my country. The book even made it into a movie with Carice van Houten as the protagonist. You may know her as she also plays (that evil witch) Melissandre in the hbo ASOIAF

Raven I'm gonna assume that's a typo xD so go for satirical.

If anyone has already completed that particular challenge with something involving a Satyr that's fine otherwise go for Satire!

what if it's a satyr that likes satire?

Double points!
