Hi Gem, is this another fun challenge?"

Yes, another group challenge with tasks. Super fun.

FYI tower team sign ups are open in NBRC

Weve got another mini challenge coming on the 15th.
We still need 57 books for the main and there will be 45 books for the mini. So if you are looking like you might finish up something in the next day or two it might be beneficial to hold off until we can use it for the mini also.
We will let you know the details of the mini when the mods give us the nod :)

Oh Gem, I just looked it up and it is really book 4 in the series. I'm so sorry.
It's listed as book 3 on the site ..."

no probs your mania book worked for 3 or 4 so I swapped that with the one in hand 8 :) no your overflow ones now in hand 5

Ophelie, Ive moved your overflow one into hand 8

Keep adding any that work to the overflow and we can shift around. Im happy to remove mine and hold off finishing the last chapter until april as they arent being used for the mini. Ill have a play around tonight!
