35559 From memory my copy of Discovery of Witches was about 680 pages. Glad to hear you're enjoying it so far Claire - it and Shadow Of Night were 2 of my favourite reads last year.

I finished my 3rd book today - Secrets of The Tudor Court by Darcey Bonnette

35559 I loved Night Circus when I read it in 2011. I wish that circus was real, would love to visit it!

As for the banner... I am so cross at my old laptop, it's been screwing up on me all weekend. Will have a final fight with it tonight, if it doesn't work tonight I'll have to give it a miss as don't have the software on this laptop. :o(

35559 Just saw the posts about tying with Team A - go us! Now let's get ahead of them! ;o)
Jan 05, 2013 08:04AM

35559 Go us - looking good there. Best I can usually do is a book in 2/3 days. Wish I could get through a book a day or more, but no chance of that happening. :o(

what book are you reading at the moment Krystal?
Jan 04, 2013 02:02PM

35559 That sounds like a good idea Tanya

If you need a hand checking books etc at the moment give me a shout!
Jan 04, 2013 01:31PM

35559 Claire - any of the books 170+ are ok, just make sure you add them to your challenge shelf with start & finish dates. :o)

Lisa - love the logo!

Karen & Tanya... I'm happy enough with that, reckon that's a fairly even split of what needs done? Don't want someone having all the work and someone having very little.

I like that idea... not sure if I've the skills to make it though. Will have a fiddle & see. If a lotta people like the burning C I could try working it into a logo with the full team name. Might get a chance tonight, if not then will be tomorrow.

35559 Noticed in the status update topic that Team A have a wee logo - if anyone wants once we've definately settled on a name I can try and create a logo for us.

Have also had another thought for a name...
"Challenge Champs/Champions" Just popped into my head as I was typing this. LOL

Would like to try and decide on a name asap.

a PM asking her NOT to give up (as she expressed in Post #79). I believe all she needs is to put a hyphen between the words of her bookshelf."


I think there's been 3 of us willing to share the captain responsibilities... Karen, Tanya & myself. Apologies if I've missed anyone out.
