Brown ? I always thought Maize was Yellow.
*Goes and checks Google Images on Maize* :O

Does anyone have a Maize/Yellow Brown book cover in handy ?

Wining for points indeed is improbable.
But, we are improving nicely. Last week was out highest position and if we continue to read as much we might actually end up close to the top 10s.

.. and going by the colors dolled out on us, we can really aim for the difficult letters.. we have had a lot of I/E/Y/U etc.

I really should not update the Spreadsheet when I am in a daze.

Thanks for pointing out the discrepancy, Sarah. Apologies for the mistake. I have rectified it. I am glad you are double-checking the Spreadsheet, always good to have a second set of eyes.

.. and I agree to your strategy for using the 'difficult' words in the incomplete word. Will make sure the spreadsheet reflects that in the upcoming weeks.

Erin, the letters for this week are MAIZE !
You might just wanna double-check !

With the end of Week 4, I must say we are progressing steadily !
We read the same amount of books as the last week, although fell a little short of our highest weekly score, but nevertheless an enjoyable week ! :)

Here are both the spreadsheets for everyone's reference :

The colors on the Spreadsheet get even more variegated as we complete our third spell-out ! Woot woot ! :D

So, we have only E and I to go to complete the third spell-through !

I just want to let you all know that today is the Queen of Denmark's birthday. I love our Queen and the other royals. They were all gathered yesterday with royals from all..."


The Queen of Denmark is so adorable.
Anita, I guess you have to be in Europe to really understand and experience the awesome-ness of this occasion. I am very intrigued with the whole royal culture and the amazing persona the Dukes/Queens/Princes/Princesses have !

Thanks for the link, will read more.

Kelly, that bunny is by far the cutest thing I have seen in a LOOOOOONG time !
