I'm almost done with mine. Stayed up until 5 am reading it.

Jenny wrote: "Who else is finishing books for week 2?"

I'm going to finish Cell a couple of hours before the cut-off (11pm for me).

ETA: It's so good, can't put it off.

Neither do I.
Adding to my reading list for next week

Jenny, no luck with pink fairy armadillo :(


Wanna be sure before reading the book... so will this work for the tricky animal?
"I take them enough cheesy toast to feed a cheesy-toast-loving sperm whale."

Tricky word: Glow Worm

Will this one work?
"I know about things like bats and glowworms." - Plural and one word instead of two.

@Jenny - from your list I can read Destiny Kills (Sea Dragon) as I can grab this copy from the library.


Destiny is a sea dragon - will this count if she is on?
I remember that I read something, but can't find info anymore.
PS! Not the sentence that can be used, just find it from someone review.

Is there any good tip/website on how to look for the word in a book?

When there are so many words to search for. I have a big list of books that I want to read soon-ish, but I don't have so much time to look all word one by one 😂😂

ETA: Don't want to read any easy words, only tricky ones cuz' POINTS!!

The first mini-challenge week 3 task is up.

Look:

Maybe I should read them too cuz' Estonian 1st book edition is 808 pages. Screams points, points!!

Finished my last book of the week.

Jenny wrote: "Happy Sunday all! How is everyone enjoying the first week of Tower?
I have a few pages left in my 14th book, and will have time for more.

Is anyone still working on books for the first week?"


Happy Sunday evening! The first week is always the most excited one before mini. As I had more free time this week (waiting time in the lab sometimes can be up to 1-2h), I was able to read more and I'm kind of out of my reading slump (lasted for 1.5 months).

I can finish my third book before cut-off (11 pm my time), but if we don't need it for the first week I can hold off finishing it and finish it for 2nd week.
What captains think?

I'm almost done with my second book for the week. As I have the weekend off, I can squeeze in one short (+/-300 pages) book.


Do we need it or should I just relax, watch movies and start bigger book for next week?

Jenny, you have been picked to do DQ for Wilder Girls
Yay, more points for us!!

Belated congratulations from me too, Sonia.


Little suggestion for our captains, maybe for easier access/logging our books etc, we should have on our planning SS tabs for each week and not one for whole month/challenge.

Thanks.
+cover points

Maybe I read too much."


I only can wish/dream about that 🤣

Ready, but not going to start until tomorrow evening when I'll be back from the lab. For me, the challenge starts at 11 pm and I'm already pretty tired to start anything today.

- would you say this is green cover?

I'm on the same both with you. I haven't seen it yet too, but maybe someday...after reading books.

Yes, I'd call that blue"

Seconding.
