Nice.
We used it for green - as we need green :)

Nevermind!
I see the next book on the list is for Slytherin!

Amy, would you say Y is for Yesterday could fit in the Slytherin House? I'm wondering because reputation is important in Slytherin?

sweet

Amy the book-bat wrote: "I saw that True Grit was used for one of the spell-outs, but it has had 2 films made out of it, so it would work for that chipmunk task (it also might be monochrome cover?)"

Ooof. I think I had that for last month - sorry!!

Thanks Emma!
I linked them on the spreadsheet.

Amy wrote: "For the task set #3, can the books be Christmas related or only Thanksgiving/Diwali?"

I would think so?

Wouldn't Thanksgiving / Diwali be fall?

Beth wrote: "For Task Set 3 -- is that 16 books? 4 sets of 4?"

No - I was confused too - it's just four books.

New chipmunk food!
Random 10 - Read a book featuring a gymnast (in honour of Olga Korbut's perfect 10)
X-Men - Read a book that is connected to a film (e.g. Catching Fire is turned into a film)

Amy the book-bat wrote: "Women's Prize book completed. I really liked it."

Nice.
Eventually, I'd like to read all of the books that won that prize.

As we enter our final month we are currently in 7th place.

A recap of our page tower targets for the month.

100-199 - 10
200-299 - 20
300-399 - 30
400-499 - 30
500-599 - 20
600+ - 10..."

I love this summary! It makes my brain happy...

I feel like we are doing really well. We're filling in the different categories - colors, names, and chipmunks! If you find a book with an I or an X character / title / series, etc., that is something that we need :)

Anyone planning on reading the July BOMs? I've heard Fourth Wing is really good!

It is open! I'm not totally sure, but it looks like you can add to it :)
I'll ask the other captains.

How I'm reading that is we should read a book with one of these words in the title:
Shang-Chi (I think we should get extra for that one! LOL)
Legend
10 / ten
Rings

Now we have a treasure hunt! So maybe pirates are back in order :)

Vicki wrote: "I had added my PIRATE book for Chipmunks #59 but forgot to add the number for it. So it can be added to the Chipmunks tab.

Update: I see that it was used for the Y in TT85, so if needed I can rea..."

No! I just totally missed it. I'll change it to PIRATES right now!!

No need to read another pirate book!

Here's some more chipmunk food:
X-Rays - Read a monochrome cover (i.e white plus a colour, not necessarily black. We will ignore publisher icons only - like those pesky penguins)
Film 10s - Shang-Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings - Read a book that shares a title word (e.g. Legend) NB - can't use THE, AND or OF
Solve for X - Read a book with the letters BODMAS in the title

Yes! It works!

I might be brave..

Well then!
One year! (in the plot line)
That's a long time!
