Now you have to tell Danielle your story, @Laura!

I haven't read it, but if you're not liking it and would normally dnf or put on hold until a better time, then go ahead. We can find another book with troll, Kim. It's one thing to suffer through a short book for a challenge - no reason to do it with a long book!

Thanks for the updates @Kim and @Claire.

If anyone reads a book that fits an uncompleted task, note it in your post. And remember - we've got lots of stuff going on so your book will be used for something even if it's not the original reason for reading it.

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.
