Yes please, cause I'm sure I can finish it and make it count for the Easter..."

OK, checking. We may have to wait for an answer due to time differences:-)

Lulu, I think one of Alissa's books works for the funeral task.

COUNTDOWN TO THE END OF UNO"

Main cities, FYI: (note: some cities have changed from March due to daylight savings)
Sydney: 7pm, 1st May
Tokyo: 6pm, 1st May
London: 10am, 1st May
New York: 5am, 1st May
San Francisco: 2am, 1st May

Only books read prior to this time can be used for April.
Captains will have 36 hours from this point to update and finalise spreadsheets.

Kushmi wrote: "Does anyone know why a book says reading for the 2nd time when its only the 1st time ?"

Its annoying and frustrating! GR members are deleting the book and then readding it to help "solve" the problem. I think it happens because we accidently hit the wrong button.
Go to your homepage, hit the "my books" at the top of the page. Find the book you want to delete and hit the "x" on the right hand side. Wait for GR to process and then "ok". The book is off your shelf and you can add the book again. Hopefully no "reading for the second time" this time! Good luck.

Word count is 29,060 so yes it works:-)
