Also I am leaving on holiday the evening of the 28th so I will miss the last few days of the challenge. I will finish as many books as I can before then.

I am going post all my finished books tomorrow. I did find all the ones I need to claim the reading square task. It was a pain finding all the YA books to match.

I finished the book for "Read a book tagged at least 10 times as “relax” or “calm” (variations are allowed)" and posted it but it has not been marked off yet. Post #589

I will have the Treasure book complete in another day or so. Other one I have on my TRB list are
Read a book with a white cover
Read a book where one of the main characters dies
Read a book multiple people die 

I have a copy of the list I take to work with me, if there are any books we are having difficulty finding I can probably get it
