I can read #5.

I can't find this answer in 15 mins of searching so I thought I'd ask you the team. I read a graphic novel that would meet the Helsinki task, but I wasn't sure if graphic novel were allowed.

The only rules I seem to find are in relation to spell-it-out & not what types of books don't count.

Thoughts?

I missed that rule. I'll remove it from the letter I.

Sorry I've been an absent teammate this past week. I've just now completed my first book, life was a little hectic.

I'm trying to find 2 short books I can finish before the cutoff tomorrow. They won't score big on page points, but I'll try to fill in for the story/mini-challenge to get those points at least.

I've added my book to the story, but if someone wants to move it, please do!

Did we get our bonus points for the grouping?

This mini-challenge is right up my book alley, so I have a lot of books to fit. I've "reserved" a few on the main SS. If anyone wants one I have, let me know.
