Updated and got the missed History Muse too.

When I did my count, I only counted completed books. There are a chunk with those page counts that are on the sheet, but not marked as read yet.

I have a few books that I have to read for another challenge, but once that is done I can look for some 400 pages books as needed. I have a hard time with ones over 450 pages. They just don't seem to keep my interest.

I did an audit on the Pages vs the Mini-Challenges. If we are using a book for Wheel, that has to be Free Choice. Based on that, here is where we are for Page Counts:
400-499: 12 out of 30 complete
500-599: 7 out of 20 complete
600+: 6 out of 10 complete

New Spin: Tower Team 4 NBRC Goals

Read a book with an average goodreads rating of between 3.01 and 3.5
Read a book with diamonds on the cover or with a night sky that looks like diamonds
Read a book with stationery on the cover
Read a book where the page numbers add to 5 (i.e. 345 pages = 3+4+5 = 12)

I just read a book where there is a rogue pack who try to overtake the existing alpha structure. They were not successful. Could that be considered a rebellion?

I moved some tasks around to complete one of the muses and requested a new spin

We are missing a teammate on the girls who dissapeared completed 7/9.

New Spin: Tower Teams 5: Star Wars - Sith

Read a book with title starts with one of the letters SITH (all words count, inc A, An, The)
Read a book tagged Post-Colonial at least 10 times
Read a book featuring aliens
Read a book featuring a rebellion

I've read Trouble with Tony in the last 6 months, so I can read Peppermint Spiced Omega for one of those.

Just checked and requested two spins.

We might have to use something else for ROOSTER. The author told me via Facebook that the page count is 284, but I don't know when Amazon or Goodreads will be updated.

Tower Teams 9: Muses

"Pick four different Muses, for each Muse, read a book that fits their role
Thalia (Comedy); Clio (History); Euterpe (Music); Melpomene (Tragedy); Terpsichore (Dance); Erato (Love); Polymnia (sacred poetry); Urania (Astronomy); Calliope (epic poetry)"

Just updated Janine's book and requested another spin for our Sloth Completion.

It's an ARC Copy so I'm not sure when the page count will be out. If we have to move it we can. I've asked the author, but the other books in this series were in the 250 to 290 range.

Updated this.

The book I just started has chipmunk in it. When i finish it tomorrow I'll use it there unless someone else finishes first. I currently have this book set for Monsters
