Thanks LK :) It took me a little while to get them all done but it was fun although some of them were so old I was alone :) It was still fun to read the book answer the questions and then go back and see if anyone had the same thoughts as me or if I was just out in left field some where wondering around LOL

My aim for the remaining few categories for round 2 is to go for the BOTM/BR and then a couple of rounds of spell-it-out and 'seven' if that's ok with everyone :)

There was a program on over here a little while ago called 'Tourettes: Let Me Entertain You' and it was about how several people with Tourettes, 'lost' their tics when they performed, either music or singing. It was well worth a watch if you can get hold of it.
YAY Robin!!! You are awesome!Round 2? You mean we're not finished with the challenge yet??!!
Claire, can you put a link on the first page along with the rest of links where we can see the spreadsheet and our progress in the challenge?

Thanks Cathie!!! :) It took me a while but I made it LOL I like the BOMs/BRs even though it takes a little extra time to answer the questions/respond to others and give your overall opinion of the book. I may do a few more "just because"
Ok.... four of five categories posted for cupcakes. 1 BOTM/BR, 3 spell-it-outs. The fifth category, I'll try and sort tomorrow and see what we still need but it's gone midnight now, bed time I think!!I'll post the spreadsheet link up now as well..
Just finished
a cute cozy mystery that made me hungry : )

Sorry I haven't been around , I had a busy crazy week!I haven't done the puzzles either , anyone interested in doing some of them? I try to do a few in my lunch break!
I can't keep up with the mini-challenges , is there anything I should do?
I can't either ShoSho. I'm awful at sliders and word search puzzles drive me batty.I'm too busy reading :-)
I'll have a go tomorrow night or tonight if I get everything almost done, one more day to go! But I can't do the sliders though!! Love the wordy ones most of the time!Hope you're ok ShoSho
I'm good just busy and away from a computer and internet during the day, I should get back to normal by Monday!
Just remembered I've done 93 last week just didn't uploaded it yet, will do in a bit
The 7% Solution is about to end.
Soon, no more cupcakes for you to win.
For the last four puzzles*, we will allow.
An addition day for to figure out the how.
This series of "duplicates" and "jigsaw" puzzles will earn you four "bouncing" cupcakes
*Puzzle numbers #97, #98, #99, & #100 - just to be clear. #97 starts here. Complete by July 20th, 4 P.M. PDT.
Dissertation printed, bound and submitted :)Puzzle #98 done, 97 and 99 in progress.
If anybody's got any answers for the bookcover shuffles or the cooking word scramble and can PM me them in the next 12 hours or so, I'll try and submit them but I don't have many answers at the moment
Claire I have the cooking word scramble except 2 of them . I'll send to you in a second.
Wow! Thank you! Well done, I got about 4 of them!! Thank you. I'll sleep on the last two and hopefully figure them out for tomorrow. #97's done and I'll do #99 tomorrow morning and #100 now before bed :)
When is the deadline for the older ones?
When the challenge finishes sometime tomorrow - hang on, let me look
8pm in the UK on Friday, 5am in Australia on Saturday. It's 10pm Thursday here now but I'll have a few hours tomorrow morning to do some before I go for my shift, finally going to speak to someone other than the cashier at Sainsbury's, I've been a bit of a hermit the last two weeks!
I'll do the sliders and and the jigsaws and whatever else I can :D
Number 100's done, unless you really want to do it, I'll do #99 tomorrow, I like those sorts of ones :)
I only have 3 to find in the book cover scramble so which ones are left?
just finished

If you were 'tagging' books as read last night, please make sure they are on your designated Tower Teams Reading Challenge shelf. Since Alice (the girl in the chair that appears when the system is over capacity) kept appearing, we are finding a lot of books didn't get 'tagged.'
The best way is to compare your main GRs challenge (if you've joined) with your "view books" page of your Team's Home Page Challenge.
Hi ladies, sorry I'm not very talkative this week, I'm doing a driving course and having to get up silly early to get there! It's surprising how exhausting it is, I came home tonight and had a nap when I came in! Very unusual.I am working my way through a couple of books, hopefully I'll have them and another finished by the end of the week, the one benefit of the long commute! :-)
I finished

awhile back but haven't been on Goodreads to post until now.Nowhere But Home I think could be the sleeper book of the summer; an absolutely terrific story. My review is here: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
William Shakespeare's Star Wars is hilarious! Thoroughly enjoyed it. My thoughts: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
