I think she was being tactful because I am reading for that task and didn't want to step on my toes. I noticed it and was returning her tact with my own. It was comforting knowing that I didn't have to stress to finish my extra long book. So, yes we really are one book closer to finishing than the official progress chart reads.

I also have a nice short book I can read for 20.2.
I am at the beginning of a long weekend and have rearranged my schedule so that I will have more reading time now.

I have finished 10.2 and started 10.1.
I am reading Summer Knight by Jim Butcher. Could you please check this for me Elizabeth and make sure it qualifies. I would hate to hold the team up because I missed a potential task. If it doesn't work I will find something else. I always have plenty of square pegs.

I thought as we are entering the final stages that if anyone is nervous about holding up the team we could double up on some of the tasks to take the stress off an individual team member. Please say if you would like a back-up reader.

You are really getting through them fast Denise. I have been really bogged down so far this season. I still haven't finished the long one I had started before the season began and that seems to have held me back.

I have finished 10.9. I have also been to the library and now have on hand books that fit all of the remaining tasks.
