New Task

76 - 10 Commandments - "Don't covet" - Read a book that you've been really wanting to read (any justification valid here, really!)

Anybody already read one that fits here?

I put you down for it.

Yep!

I’ve got 2 500-599 to read this coming week. And one 600+. Then I’ll see what I have in 400-499.

New Tasks

71 - Random 10 - Read a book with an X in the author name
72 - Ten Tallest Towers 9 - Tianjin CTF Finance Centre - Read a book set in, or by an author from China
73 - X Books - Read a book where the author names contains an X

I'm checking with the mods to make sure there's nothing funky going on, since we seem to have the same task, worded slightly differently.

Tammie is doing a pretty good job, but I know we have a plethora of blue books. I'll take a look at the spreadsheet in a few minutes and get some more information.

New Task

70 - 10 Awards - Read a book that won the Women's Prize for Fiction

I finished my fraction book, so we have the ISBN contains X task back.

I have one I can read for that, but I'm already reading for the X author task. So if someone finds one first, great!

I already put it in a Rainbow for the blue cover.

Hi Team Ti!

So, we've finally got a ruling on our Fraction book. It does not work for the task.

I've got a quick book to read that I should be able to finish this afternoon. I will remove the incorrect book from the mini, and task 69 (see my post above) will not be available until a current task is completed.

MPG means only the genres that show up on the main page. So the ones that are there when you first click on the book, and the ones that show up when you click "More". But when you click "Show All" and it takes you to the list of tags, that is no longer considered Main Page/MP. Some groups/mods will have tasks that will require a shelf to show up on the first page of tags. That would be the "Show All", page 1.

We went through a couple of tasks (I did use the Library book for one of them, Lory), and here's our newest new task:

New Task

61 - X-Rays - Read a book with author initials in MARIE CURIE

Our only already read options are used in Rainbow Towers, and we're trying not to use those, since the Rainbows are infinite and we can maximize points this way.

Lory, can you put that one on your Tower shelf, please? Thanks!

ETA: I see Fantasy on the Main Page, but not Paranormal. But I'm sure we've got something we can use.

We have an S title from May that didn't get put into a Mini task, so that works out perfectly. Let me make that switch and I'll be right back with a new task.

Let me take a look. I didn't know we had new tasks yet.
