If you can do it, Sandi, that would be great! Just let me know...

Tell me about it!

Thank you! The best part is that I then get to have a colonoscopy in a couple weeks. Grrrr....

I know. I'm overloaded with books this weekend and then I have to have an endoscopy on Monday. But it's next on my list after this weekend's books. ;-)

Rolled a 6.

Task: Read a book with two of the same numbers in the page count OR a book with a bird on the cover.
Fits: 331 pages

This is what I posted earlier. However, I'm not sure what Sandi ended up going with.


How about 3 and 10 for remaining CS tasks? A red cover is usually easy to find and a pretty cover will be very easy to do as long as we think it's pretty.


I would pick these 3 for BLS tasks based on what I could easily read for: 3, 7 and 10.


I can always read from a cozy mystery series for the chef/cook/baker.


How does all of that sound?

Task: Olive Oil - Is made from... wait for it... Olives! And they go great with Martinis. Read a book with an alcoholic drink on the cover.
Fits: Alcoholic drink on cover.

OK. Just be sure not to finish it until our next CS weeks comes up OR until we complete all the regular tasks first.

That sounds fun!!

If you could switch them that would be great!

At this point, I'm not sure exactly what I meant (LOL - crazy, busy weekend with my brain on overload), but you went above and beyond! Thank you for putting all of that in one place!!


I think Jennifer was reading for the yellow book CS task. Is that right, Jennifer?

Also, I am going in for surgery tomorrow morning. I don't know when I'll be able to check-in. But, since I am addicted to Goodreads, I c..."

Sounds good! As I said in the other group, take your time and don't rush until you feel up to it. {But I do understand the addiction!}

This is what I see as left for us to read:

Michelle - Olive Oil and Beef
Diane - Oregano
Jennifer - Antiperspirant/Deodorant and Sponges

Just making sure we're all on the same page and that I didn't miss something on the SS.

Sandi wrote: "Michelle,

I had already requested Antibiotics and Allergy when we decided on that. So we have six for CS between what we have done and what we have set aside for future CS tasks."

So we should be good to go with the clarification from Twist.

Do you mind listing the 6 CS tasks here, please ma'am?

And I guess I need to keep Olive Oil now.

OK, thanks, Twist. That clears it up for us!
