Idris, but is very close.

35559 update banner

Apologies everyone, but with 60 hours left of the round, my controlling nature is starting to come out and I'm worrying about our progress on the mini! Means it's time I start shuffling things round, so sorry if I've moved something you are reading - I've tried not to touch anything marked as in progress on the round 2 tab.

MPG
S22 Nature - Vicki
S31 Literary Fiction - Ushashi (on track)
S38 Horror - Suzanne (back up if needed)

Series Wall
S54 #3 Marty
S56 #5 Lauri (confident)
S57 #6 Cat
S69 Window between 12 and 19 - Teddie (on progress)


If anyone is at a loose end for what to read, back ups for those without comments in brackets would be awesome.

35559 Thanks CB - everyone else was making me a bit sad (other than my wonderful team mates!)

35559 No surprises that I'm sticking with Tom (and feel like cursing my lack of sponsor points...)

35559 I've got about 10% left of my last book for the mini, then can read at least one as a back up.

35559 We're just about at 20 in the south Sammy. Still not appropriate summer weather.

And now I want a holiday to Budapest in the early autumn. Local recommendations are always a treat.

I have locked the mini tab as things were being marked finished there rather than on the round tab and it was making copying everything over and checking the totals matched hard work. Please just use the round tab and make sure you have resources marked for the books you have read for the mini or we only get the 5 points for a mini task.

MPG
1 book in progress
Non-fiction
Romance
Sci-fi
Thriller
Fantasy
Nature
Young Adult

2 books in progress
Mystery
Literary Fiction
Horror
Paranormal

We have backups for: Thriller, Mystery, Romance, Non-fiction, Fantasy, Horror.

If your books are those in progress and you don't think you'll finish please let us know as we've got 4 and a bit days left to find replacements.

35559 I've got an 18 I could read when I've finished off my books for the mini. No ships immediately on the horizon though.

35559 Woohoo glad that the bloodthinners are nearly done and you are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I'd send you some of our rain and swap about 5 degrees of heat if we can arrange that. Not going to take half your heat though, sorry.

35559 Sorry, not sure what has been going on for the last few days, but I haven't been around nearly as much as I'd like.

Cecily - good luck! Well done on booking the trip and taking such a big step out. I'm glad that your friend is providing you a safe space to be in if things get too much.

Suzanne - that's so rubbish that they haven't managed to clear it yet. Will keep hoping that you recover soon. Glad you are finding a silver lining in there somewhere.

35559 Having the best evening. We think Mr 6 is probably dyslexic as he really struggles with his phonics and reading. We've just bought him some Batman phonics books. The look of joy on his face that it's a book with a story he enjoys and that he can read himself is incredible!

He normally rants about reading his school books but wants to read 2 or 3 of these despite them being harder.

35559 Peace Talks covers 5 and should be done in a couple of days.

35559 Vicki - no problem at all! I spend more time playing with the team as than I should!

Marty - thanks for the recommendation.

Cecily - that sounds blissful. Enjoy your trip.

Suzanne - thanks for the update. Are you feeling any better?

35559 I second Jenny's declaration with the additional instruction that your husband will be around to wait on you hand and foot when you want him to and will leave you in blissful solitude to read and listen to audio books when you want him gone.
