35559 It doesn't have to be on a particular page of the list though - it can be on page 836 if the list is that long.

Sleep well!

35559 The Death Maze works for a religious character. There are a lot of buns and bishops.

Or.... You could start reading a chunkster - lots of lovely page points so it doesn't matter if it doesn't fit a task.

I'm still surprised I've actually met my sign up total. I didn't think I'd read that much this month.

35559 Yay!

I think you have Cat to thank ultimately. I can't remember whether it was useful as a U or a yellow cover. If I remember rightly she's written others which should be on my tbr if they aren't already.

35559 Either author is good thanks.

35559 I'm trying to cut down on the number of them, but I'm a sucker for seeing a task that has been left lingering for a while and deciding that it must be read for!

35559 There are books with X authors or titles that I don't think should be published, but have been read and the later books in the series seriously considered.

Nothing will top intergalactic space detective or whatever nonsense it was though.

35559 I've got a Florida one but it might take me a while, so I ly let me read for it if you aren't in a rush.

35559 Basically everything I ever read on kindle unlimited was challenge related!

You've taken it to an extreme on the percentage of your books for a year though!

35559 Unfortunately not. The caps are an individual thing. If someone on the team had a RL crisis we could ask the mods if they'd consider a transfer of some of the books.

If people are reading over or hitting their cap, then reading longer books might be an option to get more points and be able to count their reading.

35559 I'm chilled when it comes to my books being moved. I know I'm not the fastest reader here, but I get to chat with you all and my books are used often enough that I won't be upset.

35559 Looks like I'm the one who is danger of not quite making it to my target level (let alone the cap). Will see whether I can get more read over the weekend.

It will reset on 17th June so another 10 days with your current limits.

Yay Mel for making it in one piece. Hope the lack of medication went ok and you have a fab time in Copenhagen.

35559 I enjoyed the Emily Wilson translation, and the mischief makers haven't yet fully infected my audible account with gremlins so have resisted the addition of another vesion.

The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow
This was wonderful - I really enjoyed it and wish it hadn't sat on my tbr for the last 4 years!

35559 Either is fine for me

35559 Have fun Mel!

How is everyone finding the book cap? Did you manage reasonable accuracy with your sign up or has life allowed you more reading time than expected?

35559 No need to apologise! Changing your mind on books is no issue and it's no problem to say you don't want to read for a task at all.
