New Task

128 - 10 Awards - Read a book that has won a GR award

We have quite a few nominees on our spreadsheet, but no winners that I could find. At least not under 400 pages! 11/22/63 did win, as well as several of the All Souls Trilogy books.

If anyone is interested, there is a cozy mystery series called Periodic Table. The first one is The Hydrogen Murder, and is .99 cents on Amazon.

New Task

123 - X marks the spot - Read a book with a treasure hunt in it

To further explain, when I re-read a book, the latest date is shown at the top of a list of read dates. Your latest date is showing at the bottom.

Benita, I’ve found, when checking your shelves, that it puts your re-read in a secondary position and leaves your top line blank. So when I sort your Tower shel by date read, if it’s a re-read it’s showing up with the books you are currently reading or haven’t started yet.

I'm a little bummed. We had a book were the MCs created a game, but we used it for a working in a STEM field task earlier. Anyone already read one that fits here?

I've had Flawed on my TBR for awhile now, but it is in the 500 page count range.

Got it!

New Task

115 - 10 Things the Chipmunks Love - Twists! Read a book with a twist in the tale

Thanks!

Has anyone read the Mrs. Pollifax books? It looks like Book 6 is set in China, and is included with my Audible subscription. But I haven't read any of the others. Is it a series that can be read out of order? Or does someone want to read it for our China task?

If someone finishes before you, we can always switch. Benita already finished, but it was used for Wolverine in text.

We've got another China tower! I was going to read Yellowface for it, but then discovered that my shortest library waiting list is 4 months!
