Ok cool, thanks!

When does this round end? I have books that I haven’t posted because I just haven’t had time this week.

The issue I have with Sin Bingos is it takes me forever to go through all the team members’ names to see if anyone has read them (for green) and then finding all 3 categories for the other has been quite the challenge and also time-consuming.

Good luck with your exam, Trinia.

I went out with 3 of my grandkids, 13, 9, and 19 months and my daughter and her husband. I haven't been out in the chaos in decades! LOL It was a lot of fun though. Then my husband sent me a photo/text and there was a fire truck and ambulance in front of our house and a police car on the side of our house. We have a neighbor who creates a haunted house every year but we don't know if it was from there or unrelated.

I read a book that's a children's book so I didn't add it, but I assume if we need a book I can add it later. . Not sure if (since it's a children's book) it's worth adding.

Thank you, Devann. :)

Mary, Mary, Just a bit contrary wrote: "If a book is worth more points as a sin book then we should use it for that over the mini-challenge."

I realize that, but what I am not sure about is if (for example) I use a mini-challenge task, must it fit some genre or criteria for a specific sin? Or is just giving the mini-challenge task enough to post?

I'm not sure if I posted my book correctly. If we have a mini-challenge task, do we also need to find a sin for it? Please see how I posted my book (in your spare time lol) and see if it's okay the way I did it. Post 160.

Book: The Cove

Rating: 4 stars
Mini-challenge: Read a book with MPG Crime, Mystery, Thriller or Suspense that also meets the criteria for "FBI/CIA/ATF"
Criteria: MPG - Mystery, Thriller and Suspense, the series title is FBI Thriller, MC James Quinlan is an FBI agent

Also:
Sin: Wrath
Criteria: Books that enrage you (view spoiler)[Sally's father beats her mother badly all the time and he's abused Sally sexually (hide spoiler)]

Sounds good to me. For the "also meets criteria" part, does it need to be tagged that or just if it fits?

Currently reading this and it works for the the wrath task:
Something broken on the cover: a broken plate.

Thanks!

So if we don’t have sin bingo should we try for the mini challenge or does genre for 5 points work as well?

For one of my granddaughters 17th birthday we went to The Grove down in Los Angeles county where a lot of stars go and we were in Victoria’s Secret. One of my granddaughters ran over to me and said, “grandma, grandma! We just saw Rihanna! I said, “Who’s that?” Lol Long story short they told me who she is and then we saw her in a department store and she was looking at clothes and I was kind of hiding behind a clothing rack trying to sneak a picture which I did get. At that time she had super red hair like Raggedy Ann doll. Anyway I didn’t care about her because I didn’t know who she was or anything but after I took a couple of pictures I went outside and I was waiting for everyone to finish up what they were doing and there were probably about 20 young kids standing around just waiting for her to come out of the store. When she came out they were all yelling her name and trying to get her attention and she wouldn’t even so much as look at them and smile or give them a quick wave or anything. She totally snubbed them so ever since then I haven’t liked her.

By the way I added an easy animal to War Storm.

I added an easy animal to post 133 for War Storm.

Carmen, I added my sentence to post 132 in case we get confirmation or you already have. I know one captain approved it but I think you're waiting on one more to agree.
