And I win at both. Quelle surprise!

I'm glad you changed your picture back to that one. It's so summer.

Haha we pretty much are sisters! We fight about baseball and books. :)

You two are bickering like sisters. So cute! :)

I thought of another category I could have crossed off...I read Monkey, which is a one-worded title category for 10 points or something.

(I am so glad you got that movie reference!)

I'm going to go back and look at my list and see how many of the books I actually did read but forgot to mark off...*bear with my while I check*

Bah! 20 points I could have added because I read The Grapes of Wrath, which was a 15 point challenge, and I read Love in the Time of Cholera, which was a 5 point challenge. And that's without looking at the category list to see what else I could have marked off. So there!

Haha well your bookshelf better sleep with one eye open!

Hmmm. So she did. Oh well. It's on for the Spring challenge. Your bookshelves better watch out!

Haha true..no announcement. I didn't want to do a mass announcement considering not many people were still actively doing it..but Verity did post that it was almost over!

Bring it on lady! :)

Jamie, It's over? No one sent out an "it's almost over" announcement. Grr.

And yes, I am coming back for the Spring/Summer challenge just so I can show you up.

Lori wrote: "Oh no! I need to add at least 25 points so Jamie doesn't beat me."

Haha..better luck next time my dear! This challenge is over! Are you making a return in the Spring/Summer challenge?

I tried. I never did choose a group read or finish the Ives of March. Ah well. I'll take 3rd.

Oh no! I need to add at least 25 points so Jamie doesn't beat me.

Yay 12th!

Did I miss anyone?

Haha...okay, just wanted to make sure. I want to finish a little more of this before I prepare for the new stuff...but it looks AWESOME!

Michelle, No the challenge isn't canceled, but it's definitely taken the back burner to the other challenges. Feel free to keep trucking through the challenge if you want.

This challenge isn't cancelled because of the New Fall Challenge, is it?

This Challenge is now closed to new participants. You can join the Summer Challenge, which will be officially starting on Memorial Day (May 25).

If you click on "some html is ok" it tells you how to strike text, bold, ect. Sorry if i messed up on anyone's points or left someone out!
