Welcome Bethany!
No worries Sherri. I'm only half done Madame Bovary anyway. Hopefully it will fit in an upcoming bonus task.

Yes Joyce. Wil Wheaton is an awesome narrator. A bit nervous for the movie.
Rachel, I am loving it so far! Why did I wait so long to read it?
I'm listening to Ready Player One, which I think will work for:Labor 8 - The Science Fiction
3. Read a book about a treasure hunter.
The hunt is virtual, but the prize he would win is a lot of real money!
I just finished Food: A Love Story, so it looks like we are done with Labour 9.I'm still plugging away at Madame Bovary. But once that's done, I can read Dead Until Dark for the relay. Unless a fast reader or someone with a better end word would like that spot.
I'm also listening to Blood Bound, which will work for:Labour 6 - Task 2: Look in the Mirrors - Read a book where someone is murdered.
Labour 10 - Task 3: Compare the Merits - Read a paranormal romance book.
Bonus 1 - Bonus Book 2: Chase the hound: Read a book from one of these locations: North America, Europe, Asia, Australia
I should finish it on Friday.
I'm reading
. Would that work for: Read a book with a party decoration on the cover?
Ok, I have finished my 2nd book. So if I understand correctly, I now pick another category and read it as a bonus? Please tell me if I'm wrong!I am planning to read Madame Bovary, which works for Labour 3, task 5: Read a book with a title (Mr., Ms, Lord, etc.) in the title.
I always get jealous of people with warm winters, since I am in Canada. But on the bright side, it hasn't snowed yet here!
Ok, I've added 2 of the books I've been working on.I'm 3/4 done one and a bit over half done the other, so it shouldn't take too long for me to complete them.
I have a 3rd book in progress right now as well. Can I add that and put it as a bonus? I'm not total sure how the bonuses work. (Jen, I think you will recognize it - Blood Bound - I'm listening to it as an audio book).
It looks like the rules have been posted. Can we start planning?https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Because the little dude has a prickle in his behind, I think we could use that square for a "pain in the butt" of some kind.
Hi Kelly. Just to confirm if you get knocked out you must heal yourself back above 0 and can do that in any of the normal ways. There isn't a special way you need to get above 0 right?
The Religious Body by Catherine AirdPages: 158 (taken from paperback edition)
Rating: 3 stars
Task: None yet
I had a bad feeling we would encounter the shark. But I have finished Each Step in the Journey (sorry on my mobile and can't link).
I feel like this stop is a bit more intimidating that the others, since I don't read a ton of classics. But I've had Madame Bovary sitting on my shelf for ages, so I will give that a try.
