@Amanda - hope that is ok."

Totally fine! I did finish it like the very next day, just don't have as much time to get online lately, so can't use it for a spin task but will see where I can fit it.

I can take "Read a book with cake or cupcake in the text" and finished a book today for "Read a book with chocolate in the text " if we still need those two!

It's been a while since I checked in so doing so now! I have some books to add so will see if they fit in any mini spots as well!

Don;'t know if we still need it but fixed!

I added one of my books to "10 Commandments - "Honour your parents" - Read a book featuring a parent - child relationship (can be adult child too)" if someone wants to check if it works.

My previously finished book The Guppy Prince works for "Random 10 - Read a book where you can see ten fingers or toes (or combination) on the cover" so can add it there

I think you meant Kirsten not me

Suzanne wrote: "Yay - two new tasks - and Amanda - we can use your "How to Howl at the Moon" once it's on your Tower team shelf for one of them."

Done! (Plus all the other ones I was missing lol)

Janeylou wrote: "Looks like yours is ok amanda"

Thank you!

Does anyone who is around know the rule for children's books? I'm thinking of doing The Witches for "X-Men - Read a book that is connected to a film (e.g. Catching Fire is turned into a film)".

ARBook has it at 35,987 and audible has a 3hr44min audiobook

ETA: Looks like it'll work as over 30K words

@Janeylou: I haven't had the best luck with Vegas romance books. I wish you better luck than me

@Leslie Ann: I sympathize with you on the City of Brass."

They were both very quick easy reads! Not my usual cup of tea though.

And I read City of Brass earlier this year (or late last year?) and it was such a struggle to finish

Thanks Vi!

I don't want to step on any toes, but I just finished The Assassin's Blade, which is the same book Vi is reading for Chipmunk Task 1 (Top 10 books of 2014); if we want to swap out so we get another task quicker.

If not, do we think the color is blue and/or green enough?

Sounds good to me. Thanks Nanci!
