It is quite simply gorgeous to see our team at the helm of the chart!
Final Ranking Spreadsheet

THANK YOU, everyone of you for being so awesome and such crazy book eaters. We literally read for EVERYTHING that was offered in this challenge. That itself is crazy!

Karen, I cannot possibly thank you enough for being such a delightful captain. You were always on top of things, and worked through all the issues with aplomb. Thank you many many times for being a genius captain! You rock!

Team Sculptor has a special spot in my GoodReads life now, so thank you everyone again! :)

Keep reading... and hope I bump into all of you again! :)

OMG! I just did some random calculations with the other teams in contention with us and how much they can score based on their pending books, and if we get all the remaining books read in time, we can clock up to 190 more points and that would mean that we will end this challenge at NO.1 !!

5. Read a book where a character tells a lie.
11. Read a book where a character goes for a walk.
17. Read a book which includes characters who are siblings.
28. Read a book set in a country you do not live in.
50. Read a book where someone takes a risk.

I am starting a book that is set in a different world, where characters travel to a different planet, most likely going through space, which has aliens in it, and may have an astronaut somewhere there... so yeah, it will fit in for all of that.

P.S. Can be used for the bonus task as well (which weirdly I have seen teams completing even before finishing their list of tasks, which I assuming isn't how it should be done. Right?)

Teri wrote: "Question: for 33-the yellow and white cover, how yellow and white?
Lemonade and Lies
would this work? or not enough?"

According to TinyEye, this is about 10% yellow and 0% White (which is just simply weird, if you ask me!)
