super! I'm loving this teamwork

if someone can finish it soon, we won't skip it

Thank you for letting us know! And yes, it would take me a while to read a 540 pages book.

Jackie, can you still read for this one?

Keri wrote: "I have a bunch of 2,3,4 for series :/
I may have a 5 if I can get it fast enough. Big if tho getting it and finishing in time. So if someone else had a 5 go with it.
And then I have a 10 I could possibly get to depending on where we are later in the week."

Keri will you be able to read #10?

Updated to here!

Sarah wrote: "I dont mind reading a random book in a series just as long as its not a series I've been looking forward to read.

Also, can you start reading the next book before the previous book has been entered?"

You can start reading before the previous books has been entered. But the books must be finished in order for them to be used.

I just fixed that =)
