Ahhhh I see. That'll be interesting. I should really finish the series off. I honestly forgot about it until you read it. Hopefully it's worth it

Looks great Celia! I didn't mind the third book The Toll. I remember thinking it was a long book but I was satisfied with how it ended. It's such an interesting concept though. I remember thinking about it for a while whilst reading the series, and thinking it would be a good book to get kids talking about morals, technology and life

Yes! The feeling of satisfaction when you finish a series. Love it!

I liked the concept of this book, but It was way to long and it dragged. I really Wanted to love this book. 2.9 stars."

@Kimber - By any chance, are there any other tasks that would fit ? Maybe some 'word in the text' tasks? If not, that's ok. I couldn't find any other options for it that I thought could work

good luck with it Christina. Hopefully the next book you choose you like it more!

That's definitely lucky! I hope no more drama comes into your life Jessi. You need a break :P

Oh no Jessi. :( Car issues in the morning are awful. And what luck is it that the spare was flat too!

I am glad to hear that they both liked the aracade. All those things are something my siblings and I would have loved when we were growing up. It's mostly likely something they'll both remember. You can't go wrong with go-karts and laser tag

Oh my gosh Jessi! I hope you're ok and everyone else is too! That sounds like an emotional weekend and it looks like you're due for a quiet weekend for the one coming up. Did your kid like their birthday celebrations?

So I'm not sure if I'll get to read it for the challenge."

Oof! That's a lengthy wait! Another library might have it. Otherwise don't worry about it. I doubt the holders will get through the book before the BOM ends

Oh yes. Definitely agree that non-Amazon books are hard to verify. I use Apple ebooks and sometimes it's a bit of a weird one to verify the page count or publisher. It's a bit trippy trying to figure out if the publisher added, is self-published or not. And yes, I think there's always drama with TT but it's still worth it :P

Oh! She's a stealthy book ninja. Thanks Melanie (if you're reading this)

I didn't know you could do that. That's pretty nifty and great if you need to double check someone's edits. Thanks for the heads up Alysa. Also is very considerate of you think think of conflict of interest with these challenges :)

I don't check all of the editions - just what's on the SS and in your TT shelf. Also, seeing someone's review in the 'friend reviews' section of the page can show the correct version of the book if the incorrect version was linked in the SS. So that's another way to find it. I think when I was looking at your shelf, I just didn't comprehend the information there fully or I just muddled a few books together lol. Apologies for that. I'm trying to stop doing GRs updates when I should be sleeping but it's not happening haha

But it is weird though... On the page of the book, I can see what shelves you've adde din the friend review section. I can see a lot of shelves too, as Alysa said. When I click on 'more' to get more of the review, I assumed that it would extend to show all the shelves you've added for the book. But I couldn't see yours which is what I think threw me as I hadn't come across it before. Maybe it's also the length of the shelves which stops all your shelves from showing. Maybe Alysa has some ideas. I add a lot tags for some of mine as well but they all get shown. In the end, I guess it's just another thing to consider when captaining as Alysa mentioned :P

Ahh yes. I forgot about him. I remember not liking him for some reason... can't remember why lol

I'll pop the book down for task 77 as 133 and 134 are easier to cover than #77

Thanks Paulette!
