The rules say for the setting: 50% or more, so if you are sure it reaches 50%, it can be used. 😊

Nah, UNESCO is a great place for this, but will take note of the alternative. 😊

35559 KayLynn, Fiona

I have swapped your books Skin Game / Caught Up in the USA & Italy spell-outs.

This way USA is finished and we can ask for a new spin.

35559 Thanks, KayLynn, the banked books are contemporary, but we may end up using them for a snug little Mini2 task somewhere along the line.

When we get new tasks I will just ask from time to time.

35559 Claire,

These books listed above can only be used for Mini 2 tasks and for Cheese spell-outs as that's where book-banking is allowed. :))

We could still end up using them for Mini 2 tasks that get revealed later.

But I will be a book short. Sorry."


No need to apologise!!

Also, you can finish Palau any time. The countdown is for our book caps only, the Mini tasks continue till the end of the challenge.
