Please and thank you!!"

You're on the list

You are aware of who we have as mods now and in the past? You'd fit right in!

The Magician’s Nephew - but you'll almost certainly have read it.

Nothing else off the top my head, but give me some time!

There isn't a link to the spreadsheet. I'm not keen to release the SS to everyone, but can check if people want to double-check their sign up info.

I've got set in New York covered with In Five Years which has not been what I expected, but in a positive way.

I'm reading a 651+ book , the Emily Wilson translation of the Iliad"

Oh that's a great book. I enjoyed the audio for it.

Navi wrote: "Hi Mods, I signed up to participate in the Book Games but would like to remove my name from the competition. Upon further reflection, I do not think I am in the mood for competitive reading at this..."

Thanks for letting us know Navi. Just let us know if you change your mind over the next few months.

but... noticing a counter-intuitive effect,
the more team challenges I join the faster my TBR list grows 😭"

Yeah that's an unfortunately side effect of time spent on GR.

Sammy joins the group of being a Lady!

Cat definitely will be able to identify that.

Definitely. Have they not seen us drink tea with our little fingers sticking out as we are such refined ladies?

We can tell them, hopefully they'll admire our restraint.

We are very giving like that. hehe"

I don't feel like people appreciate our generosity

I'd be surprised if death isn't a word in one of those books. It doesn't need to refer to the tarot card, just the word.

You've got 2 whole weeks break!

We've gone for something different this year, so this isn't a TT, which will come back. A lot of the shelves are variations on book games.

Thanks for pointing out that I haven't added that here anywhere!

If you press on the create a maze button, the drop down under category has them all.

They are:
General - all the tasks used so far
Fantasy
Sci-Fi
Romance
Horror
Historical
Mystery/Thriller/Crime

Let's see how this goes!

ETA KU in UK as well

From further on in the paragraph: Participation points from previous BOM that are already on the spreadsheet can be used.

I.e. if you've claimed them from last year then they are good to use, but we aren't accepting people going back to claim a lot now.

Just no pictures please! All ages group and all that.
