Colors for mango:
HI TEA : will this be a good book for the Mango Tango quest ? Jenny

Second one could go as mango. :DAgain, you have to finish it before 19th to count.
Maybe TC or Jojiwoji can give us update on what (if any) categories we need to look for.
Weekend Reading Update:I had a little read-a-thon this weekend and finished several books. Although I read and finished the books on 6/28, 6/29 and 6/30, I don't know if they still apply for the points. I will still list the points just to be safe. As always I don't know exactly where to put them, so if the nice mods would be so kind? LOL :D
1 pt (379 pgs) 1 pt (331 pgs)
10 pts (208 pgs) 1 pt (334 pgs)
Read but does not count for Tower Challenge:

Are the totals only from books that have been put on the "read" shelf? Because I come up with different totals for myself for books that I have "read" but haven't completely moved them over to the "read" shelf. :D
6 books 10 pts
2 books 5 pts
12 books 1 pt
Totals before personal read-a-thon: 20 books 82 pts
Totals after personal read-a-thon if apply: 24 books 95 pts (3 books, 1 pt each; 1 book, 10 pts)
I didn't count the books that were under 150 pages

I was looking at your team shelf very early this morning. I can go back and look again. If you just added those books, they didn't show up when I was looking at it. Guess I should have waited longer to update.

Hello Hobbits.I have sad news. One of our little ones is leaving our Hole.
Karen is having hard time in RL and she decided it would be better to withdraw from this challenge. It's going to be rough time for her and she'll need our support and good vibes, because Once a Hobbit, always a Hobbit.
Karen, we are here for you!

All books read after April 12th and are over 160 pg count.From time to time we have games to keep things interesting (reading games), but you don't have to participate if you don't want to.
There is also Captain Cupcake's Hideout if you want to take a break from reading. ☺
