Got it!

Aside from the amazing color coding and drop down choices, I am impressed by the formulas on the member's page. How did you learn to do those?

Sweet!
I just found a middle grade's book set in Berlin :)

Welcome Namita!

I'd say that counts.

GETTING PSYCHED!

Thanks!

Volunteering for team Opera!

Is it good if many people volunteer?

Yes! Location works for non fiction

I hope so...
Ashley is checking.

Bummer!
I’m trying to squeeze in a middle grades book now.
What are the prequels to?

Yes, over 100 pages counts. The only tricky part is if it is a middle grades or children’s book - then you have to look at word count too.

Looking good folks!
7 1/2 hours before round two starts.
I've got a couple of books in limbo between the two rounds - we'll see where they land.
We did really well with bonuses and BOMs. Right there with the leaders.
We are currently in 10th place. Which is great! One or two books away from ninth :)
It's fun to creep up the ranks - unsuspectedly....

Start reading! :)
Books just need to be started after the beginning of the whole challenge - back 2 weeks ago. Finishing date is the key.

You're all set Lauri!
Nice job finishing 3 books in a day :)
I love that feeling. It's like a clean slate :)
I also added your DQs for Haunted House

DQs Day 5 chapters 32 - end

19. I was excited that Louise and Mark were going to contact Aunt Gail. I liked meeting Barb. I was surprised that they could not really help, and suddenly, we were back where we started, in the creepy house with the puppets. Why do you think Barb and Aunt Gail were in the story?

20. I found the horror of Poppy’s plight with Pupkin to be the most concerning. Did you find the horror in this book effective? Which parts creeped you out the most?

21. Gary Hendrix is also known for his humor. I laughed out loud when the puppets got together to form a golem. What parts (if any) did you find humorous?

22. I was shaking my head when Louise gave her daughter her stuffed animals. I would want no part of that house to be a part of my daughter’s life! How did you feel about that part?

23. How do you feel about the ending?
