We have 12 hours before they lock the sheets.

I finished with a minute to spare

I was looking at the wrong shelf.

@StaceyC please add Neon Gods and Red Queen to your Wheel shelf

@Mary please add Gods of Jade and Shadow to your wheel shelf

@Stacey please add Neon Gods to your wheel shelf. 😀

You can use your book as long as the audio is more than 5 hours.
Amazon US has it at over 7

We get more points for bigger books but we get an additional 5 points for each tagged book. In effect you can get more points for reading 2 shorter tagged books than 1 with a higher page count.

400page book = 40

200page tagged = 20 + 5 = 25
160 page tagged = 16 + 5 = 21
Combined = 21 + 25 = 46

Unfortunately if the book has MPG children then a verified word count is needed or a link to an audio over 4hours long, irrespective of other tags on the books main page.

Thanks Dale, although PMs doesn’t help the rest of the team or the Captains know that there is information missing that benefits the team as a whole.

The Round 2 timer: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown...

Also posted in msg 5 at start of this thread, which I forgot to swap out for Round 1.
Normally I have to post these clocks to remind myself of start/end dates rather than trying to figure out the UK/US time difference. This challenge is run by Cat so all the clocks are in London time, it’s great for me as I don’t have to think about time conversions.

If I forget to post the Round clocks please let me know and I can grab it
