35559 Hi Newts! I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

You guys are doing a great job with the task and everything has been claimed. So we're opening up the rest of the tasks. If you've claimed a task that isn't complete yet, please try to finish that before taking on anything else - we don't get ANY points for ANY tasks if we don't finish the first one we chose.

I know it's a lot of work on your part, but when you do your completion posts, if you can list all the tasks your book works for it helps if we need to move things around. Hopefully everyone is okay with first read, first used if necessary, even if you claimed a task. If you really want a book you're reading to be used for a specific task just PM and I'll make sure to use it for that.

Here's the link to all the tasks: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Here's the link to the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

Let me know if you have any questions.

No, they have to play a part in the book

I would say no - a shack is "a roughly built hut or cabin", not the same as Emma's definition of being cozy

We can't get points for any other tasks until these are completed. The Mods have updated the rules a bit, so any books we read from 8/1 are eligible for any tasks, but we really need to get these done first. Please check the books you've claimed, and if you aren't going to read that task, let me know so we can open it up to another player.

Here is the link again for our planning spreadsheet - you can see what's open under the TWT tab: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

You can add your read books to the Book Detail tab and also claim tasks - if you don't have access just request it and I'll add you. Let me know if you have any questions.

35559 I like your interpretation @Sassafrass! I know during the classes Sonia was looking for creativity - hopefully that still works because I think this is great! What do you think @Laura?
