and finished the last series book.

just need a captain to check and report it and we will be on Garden set 3! :)

perfect, thank you Elli!

finished a blue cover and one of the two series books needed to finish the garden. the last series book will be done today too :)

For mini tasks: we have a plan sorted for the last trellis, and a colour cover to come, so expect a new set of Garden tasks tomorrow :)

Otherwise, do think about country tags and those rarer food items :)
And if you have a book that's perfect for an Admin task, if you could hold off until the last two tasks are finished :) (see up page for the tasks outstanding)

We are doing fab :)

Quick refresh on tasks unclaimed or outstanding....

Ooooh! That's one of my titles to read, so good news there!

I see the GR Choice is out.
I have read so few of the nominees it's pointless to vote!
But it has reminded me of some titles I want to read, so that's a plus

What about everyone else?

Finished a very not good one, fit only for food items.

Going to pickup a Hawaii one next

finished the Greece book!

which means we have a new set of food items and country tags to work on :)

Finished the Hawaii book

Huzzah, thanks

Marie, don't forget to put a read date on The Appeal, please 🙂

A switch to longer and older books works for me, if you're worried about that cap!

SRC is a bit irksome, but I'm on the last few. Not got a decision on what to read for the Fall item in title though. The words are uninspiring, and my TBR, mammoth though it is, doesn't have much that fits

Ooooh! Do we have. 1- 5 series trellis now?!

You lot are Fab U Lous!

Love how you rise to our mini task requirements

Looks like one of our series trellis takes in 5 and 7.
I think Marie's got a 3 on the plan, so hunt out 4 and 6my pretties!

Keely, don't worry about it at the moment - you've an office and a location I want out of you short-term! ;-P

OH GOD this was bad - I will do The Appeal I hope it is better"

and no paperwork clue in this one? to save you from a book I thought was mediocre!

a letter that hints at connections / motive? bank statements to follow the money trail?

which is to say: series books please! :D
