Pole fitness sounds like a lot of fun!

It is loads of fun. I go to a mobile pole class where they also have hoop and trapeze. I managed to do a few pole spins and took a spectacular dive off the top of the hoop. 🤕

I like the idea of the Zombie run.

Thanks Nistha

I’ll take a look at the spreadsheet issues when I’m back in from my pole fit class this evening. 😀

Please only put books on the main sheet 😉

As long as the characters are important to the book and have some sort of dialogue they can be used.

3 Days into the challenge and we have a number of books completed.

@Geri please check the edition for Against the Currant, the page count of the edition you have shelved is different to the one linked on the sheet.

@Skye please add The Lightning-Struck Heart to your TT Shelf with a read date.

@Dawn please add options on how your book might work for the mini

The link when I hover over it shows Lessons in Chemistry.

I know that this is a glitch that the Captains have spotted but as long as the link takes you to the book page it isn't a major problem.

Yep that's right. If you are using the spreadsheet to post books and have read a book that needs a verified word count you can do this by adding a comment to the sheet.

Hi Jessica the main aim of towers is to read books. We have a minimum of 223 books a month to read as a team.
We do have a mini running alongside but there is no need to worry about this as every book read will slot in the mini somewhere.

Only the main sheet is to be completed, the we as Cap/Co-caps will update the other tabs.

That’s difficult, I’ll check with the other caps 😉

Beth wrote: "I finished a children's book (59K words, from ARread) but I think it's not orange enough to be a color:

Do you want us to post books here as well as in the spread..."

Definitely not orange enough might work for black though.
Completion post can be done here or in the spreadsheet. 😀

Ooh I enjoyed House of Hollow

When I finish the book I can post the links in this chat if it helps?"

As long as the book is on your shelf we can grab the link from there. 😉

And we can begin. Well 10 minutes ago

Is violet a light purple?Blind Man's Wolf is 44.3% 2c2436 violet and has + another 42.4 more labled other violets

would it count somewhere for the rainbow?"

I agree with Karen it looks bright purple. I tend to steer clear of tineye unless a challenge specifically asks that it’s used. If in doubt post the cover here and we can make a team decision 😀

Not long to go now. It’s a bank holiday so hopefully going to fit some reading in amongst my BH bits
