I noticed you are reading a different version for 11/23 which is great...I changed the page count as rules indicate for BOM...all page counts are standard."

Ups... I forgot to change it :p

Like Tammie said, We still need 400+ books and 500+ books.

And in general, longer books are great for us pointwise.

Stephen King BOM:

MOD: "This book is a CHUNKSTER! When we sat down to do the breakdown, it turned out that splitting into 12 made the most sense. Given 12 teams, each team has been given a day - entirely up to you who writes questions for it!

For those people who put in extra entries, we'll be refunding those for you :)"


3rd day: 17 June Chapters: 7 - 8 26% Ti

I think it's for Message 393: by Lory

Next Chipmunks tasks:

Random 10 - Read a book by a female or non-binary author

Film 10s - 3 1/2 Minutes 10 Bullets - Read a book that shares a title word (NOTE: 3 and three are deemed to be the same, as are 1/2 and half. Singular variants OK)

X Books - Read a book where the title contains 10 characters (inc punctuation, exc spaces)

Elen mentioned Tuesdays With Morrie?"

Adding my book

Laura wrote: "Elen wrote: "I have seen that we are going to have tasks "Phoenix" and "Clown""

In title?"

If I remember correctly - in the text or connection to that word - something like that

Laura wrote: "Do we think Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix works for the miscommunication task? I think a case could be made for that one."

It would.

On another note, I have seen that we are going to have tasks "Phoenix" and "Stephen King Clown"

10 Commandments - "Remember the special day" - Read a book with a day of the week in the title
Plural counts? I have Tuesdays with Morrie

Or should I prioritize task "2017".

I wouldn't use it as 500p books were pretty hard to cover.

I'll look up the list, maybe can find a quick read if needed :)

It's already done by Benita.

The next one is tricky - X in a series name... hard one

I have books for other tasks too, so it's no problem if it wouldn't work.

Captains, is it possible to hide used/checked May books?

X marks the spot - Read a book with bling on the cover - something treasure-worthy

Would this work?

I noticed that on the main SS, chipmunk tasks are marked as "page tower" not "free choice".

You may use any of your free choice books for these tasks, but not those from the page number-specific towers.

Awesome!

Aren't all the mini-challenges run until the end of the TT aka until we are done with them except colours? Or I understood it wrong?

I would say Brown as well

I think this was my 4th book for the month as i had signed in for 4."

You can read more than you signed up if you want. This year we don't have penalties.

@Tammie - in the rainbow, can we for example change yellow for dark/bright blue? So our rainbow would include bright blue, dark blue, black, white, etc, and no yellow.
If we are going to be short on yellows
