We all have a task list to work on, you can use your book for any task on your list but you can’t duplicate the task. When you post your completion choose the task that it works for based on difficulty.

E.g if you are reading it can work for a number of tasks - Yellow Cover; Deckchair; Set on a boat. For me the hardest task would be deckchair on cover, someone else may already have a book with a deckchair on the cover so they may use it for a yellow cover.

As long as you can justify it; we’ll place it on the task you have requested.

Updated

All players can you specify which task you are using your book for, including justification

Thank You

You can either post it here or add the details to the s/sheet. Make sure you add you’re book to your wheel shelf and specify the task you are using it for.

No worries, I’ll amend the option when I’m on my laptop tomorrow.

A little over 24hrs to go I need to finish off my Clue book then I can start fresh. Remember books cannot be started until the countdown ends.

Take a look at the task list, we get extra points for each book that we match to a task, each of us has our own to complete.

Welcome Jeremy, take a look round. You can add any books planned into the planning spreadsheet. This is where completed books will be posted. If you have any questions feel free to ask and we will try and get you an answer.

Official start time is linked in message #6 I will post the link to the end/start here too

Going over our average books p/m we should be able to complete our word 8 times and most of a 9th. To do this we need: Z(8); O(16); M(8); C(8); A(8); L(16) and S(8)

Congrats Chris a nice bit of points :)

Cat, can you confirm that Chris has been chosen. We have a Chris and a Christina on our team 😊

@Rachel the Captains have come to a condense as Set in the future. Like 2001: A Space Odyssey the intent was a point in the future when it was written.
