Heya everyone :)

I'm Blarney McKnob!

Seriously jealous of anyone with the first name of "Tater".

I'm all for relaxed pace. I'd say 3 weeks is a great time line. I'm apt to forget about books/challenges if I don't have something holding me in a time frame :D

Do we have a goal end date in mind for this stop?

The book I originally planned to read I had to return to the library so I'm trying to find something new.

Yes!!! I love this :D

Vildivia breaks down perfectly to one book for each :) I say we spell that out and everyone can claim a letter. I'm OK taking one of the harder letters! (AND no rush on this guys - this is for wk 7)

Sally906 wrote: "Well Chili is only 5 so wouldn't count if it has to be 6!!!

Have sent a message with the question anyway.

I have Secret Daughter by [author:Shil..."

My take from it was that we could do Chili but would only get 10 points (we would complete the task but only 5 people were working towards). If we went for the longer word we would get the full 35 points (as 8 letters in; all would have to read for it)

Took this from the task page:

TASKS
◈ Completing a task will earn the team 10 points AND
◈ If at least 6 members of the team read a book that contributes to the tasks, that is an additional 15 points AND
◈ If ALL team members read a book for the time you are at the stop, that is an additional 10 points

Looks like we might want to plan on Vildivia. Chili wouldn't get us max points.
