No worries! I don't even know how to put that spoiler alert in. I'd like to be able to learn. Can you tell me how?

Way to go, Jess! Unfortunately your spoiler didn't work, but no worries. By the time I read it, I'm sure I will have forgotten! lol

Yay! Congrats, Circe.

It's my favorite challenge!

For those of you who like challenges, just a heads up that UNO 2019 now has it's sign up posted!

Good thoughts, Jess! I've been fortunate to see Les Mis twice and would see it at least two more times if given the opportunity. I need to read that book too!

I give you credit for hanging in there with War and Peace, Jess! It's on my "maybe" list for this year.
I had no idea there was a Broadway production of this! Thanks for providing the link. I listened to a few of them and now it's got me in the mood to read it. The music is great and humorous too! Everyone who is reading the book (or not) should listen!

Happy New Year to all!

Oh wow, Jess. That would be very difficult! I don't know why authors have multiple names for the same character. It's so confusing! I have to take notes on the names to keep them all straight. Thanks for the heads up!

Jess,
I can't imagine reading it non-stop either. Maybe I'll get to it this year...it's so intimidating to me!

Yay! Great that a few of us want to continue. No rush on your reading. We can start when everyone is done.

Hi Team,
Just checking in to see how everyone is doing with their longest book!
Is anyone interested in doing another trip after this one when we finish? It's a busy time of the year! I've just got 3 more books to read and I'll have completed my reading challenge for the year!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Great challenge and great team! Thanks to our captains for keeping up with the slew of data! We did very well and I enjoyed playing with all of you. Hope to see you sometime in another challenge!

I finished my Catching Christmas book. I have all the info in a post above. Please add it to the SS and I’ll add it to my shelf. Thanks!

That's great that your book had a BBQ, Laura! Nice that you can cover the lights too, so Tammie can do the boots book! We did it team! Great job on getting all the tasks! I will read my book today while my husband drives to the mountains, and post it tonight or tomorrow. WiFi is tricky there, but I'll get it posted!

I know! So exciting! And I just found the one for transport on the cover, so now we just need that pesky BBQ task and then the Christmas ornament on cover, which hopefully someone can find with all the Christmas books out there!

Go team go!! We can do it!!

Oh no! Hope you've got batteries for reading with your flashlight or book light! Teehee!

I'll check that out!"

I just joined a team on Game Night for the game Phases! Thanks for the idea!
