You can put it where ever it gives us the most points. I have to go for a drive for work so i will get it finished in the car this afternoon :)

I expect to have Going Bovinefinished today and am still plowing through Foal's Bread then i will start The Maze Runnerand Anne of Green Gablesif its still needed for Canada

Welcome to the team Skandia now we have you and Kimberly has her computer we will fly into the lead ;);)

How does Olympics work i know there is an explanation somewhere i just can't find it :(?

We will need to make sure we can get 2 reads done on each task or we won't get any points so its going to take a bit of organising if I understand it right.

I'm currently 1/2 through reading for F6
Have just started E10
If no one is doing
B-2 - read a book which has the main location (setting) as Canada
I could read let me know if that still needs to be covered as i would hate to see us miss out on the points for tasks that are only 1/2 done.

The narrater was flat all the way through which did not help hardly anything happened and when it did it was skipped over so fast. I found it impossible to get into.

Book:Soundless by Richelle Mead
Date Read: 26/06/2016

As its no longer needed for Asia i guess young adult will suit or if they have a category for worst book you have ever read it would fit there also :)

I have read the book and plan to see the movie soon. The book was great but i think the movie will be better.

I'm looking for a copy online if not the library in the city has a copy i can get one of my daughters to pick it up for me. I'm enjoying the story though it feels like it is just setting up for the rest of the series.

My copy of Poison Study is missing the last hour and a half :(

I agree H4 and E4 could be ships but the blue X make them look like don't pick them maybe they could be a different colour or shape ?

Noa wrote: "Damn, those Dholes are a lot ahead of us."

Some of the teams have a lot more players than we do we don't have a hope of competing with them.
