It's definitely not easy that way. Just keep doing that and any of the captains can take the comment and make it a link. Thanks!

@Kirsten. Looks like I know what books you are reading for Hunt this month. :)

Kirsten. I read a book who has an author first name of X. I finished it today. I removed Nine Moons from the Chipmunk task

Checked in

I also hid the May books to make it (hopefully) easier to find your books and hid the completed/checked in books on the Chipmunks tab.

So we can finish out the Crayola Towers, I'm replacing Nicole's The Hating Game and Nanci's Group.

They were the only ones not read and we can fill them with books that have been read. Way to go team!!

I would say that counts.

Just checked in two Chipmunk tasks.

I would say leave the prompt open until you start the book and then once you start claim it.

I would say this for even the fast readers .

Yeah. Partly because i'm not sure exactly when I'm going to get to it. With the chipmunk tasks we only get 10 so I wanted to keep it open. If I'd have started it I would have claimed it. :)

Chipmunk Task 12: Ten Tallest Towers 10 - China Zun - Read a book set in, or by an author from China

If its open on the planning spreadsheet no one has claimed it.

@Jen it looks like one of your books is missing a title.

If we need a series with an X in it for the chipmunks, I have on my shelf (I just need to go through the librarians to get the alternate cover I have)."
One of the captains has to "check it in" on the Official Spreadsheet, which I just did.

Task 11 is now available. X marks the spot - Read a book with a treasure hunt in it

Finally Done with May. That last book was a hard read.

Question: I have a book with rejected mates and one hooks up with others while they are separated. Would that be cheating?

After tonight, I'll be MIA until Monday evening. We are headed out of town for Memorial Day. On a good note, I should get lots of reading done on these next few days.

The tasks should automatically update. When I moved the page to the planning sheet, I moved it all and made sure it worked. I also tested to make sure the planning and official came up with the same results. (only did like two or three extra tasks though)

I think in general we want to prioritize the Chipmunk books. We only get 10 tasks at a time and books will have to be read in order to see the next on the list.

Ok. I'll read that one for Dark Yellow. Might not finish until June, but I'll add it to my list

I'm looking for Dark Yellow so we can finish our 18 book rainbow. When I check Tin Eye most of the books I found on my Yellow List they are coming back brown....any ideas?
