35559 I'll be moving my Thomas Cromwell book there to claim religious figure + siginificant character over 70. Just finished.

35559 Karen, I have moved your Thailand-book 1 word up as the M was unclaimed there. :)

35559 Adding to what Karen says and this concerns us all: at this point if you need to choose bw a book that fits the mini, but with a much lower page point vs a chunkier book that would probably bring us more points without fitting any mini, go for the latter. :)

35559 I'm sorry, but I won't be able to look at them before tomorrow night.

But if it would mean moving too many books around, I would prefer not to upset the way they are now.

35559 Wow, all those experiences....

My meeting Colin Firth back in the day pales in comparison (giggles).

35559 Richard,

how did you find Anna Karenina & Jurassic Park/The Lost World? 😊

35559 It's hard to realise that this is the last round for this challenge!

Teamies,

we are still in first place 🥰, but Team DIY Disaster is on our heels, so we need to be alert! 😉😋

Also, we need some more X-books for sure if you have some. And for the extra 25 points for the Relaxing Mini we'd need the following 2 tasks covered:

# author initials found in ENVIRONMENT
# author initials in KNITTING

35559 Karen,

your Edgedancer has been entered twice on the sheet, so I removed one of them.

For the Mini task "book set in a fictional world" I allocated your City of Stairs instead.

35559 Again, no. 😪

We can only use books we finish after we restart the mini. But I'll have a looksee.

Also, good news, I fou..."


I'm sorry, but we can only swap books for Mini tasks that are being read for this round. The book you mention was already used in Round 3 and as the Mods lock Round tabs after each is finished, we cannot make the change retroactively. I'll switch it back on the tracking sheet.

Yay for yam! :)

35559 Thought so, but was worth a try. :)

35559 MC is a spy - what do we think about Thomas Cromwell running a ring of spies? One step too far removed?
Nov 27, 2024 02:12AM

35559 Hear! Hear!

:D
Nov 27, 2024 01:56AM

35559 Wow, where did you find "soul-sucking"?!

I think I hate that task the most, lol.
Nov 26, 2024 09:20PM

35559 If you are listening to the audiobook then use that edition, please and the page count of the default edition.
Nov 26, 2024 05:07AM

35559 @Richard,

I have moved your Anna Karenina book up, as it works for an I-character and we had an empty spot there and same for Jurassic Park (E-character). :)

@Teamies,

I'm switching some of the books around a bit so as to reduce too big gaps between claimed spots.

Because I’ve had one for 18 months now and it makes me soooooo happy. I love driving past petrol stations with people lining up for ages to get their cheap petrol while I just drive by and never have to worry about that 😊🤣
