Barb *high fiving all of the Mango Tango team* Excellent job, everyone :) Now let's have this momentum carry over to the rest of the Tower challenge! I haven't looked at the overall standings lately, but the last time I did, we were 15ish books behind the first place team.

Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 240 comments Well, since I joined I have retrospectively added 12 books so hope that helps.


message 205: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) It helps a TON!!! :) you made up half our difference!


Lisa - (Aussie Girl) | 240 comments Oops, sorry, I mean retrospectively, not respectively.... had to edit.

Anyways, Go Mango Tango!


message 207: by Diane L (new)

Diane L Finished Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson Before I Go To Sleep which was 368 pages.

Not sure what I will read next but I have to go out for a few hours which will give me time to consider this momentous decision. ;)


message 208: by Jane (new)

Jane  | 206 comments Finished Enchanters' End Game (The Belgariad, #5) by David Eddings 448 pages.

I think this will be my last read for this RaT.


message 209: by Barb (new)

Barb I'm desperately trying to finish Naked in Death before 11am tomorrow, but I'm not sure I'm going to make it. I know I won't finish my audiobook by then, and probably not my Kindle book either.


message 210: by Barb (new)

Barb I've made good progress on Naked in Death, so I *know I'll finish it before 11am tomorrow, I just may not get online early enough to give Steven time to post it in the official reporting thread, so I don't know how you want to handle it. It's 294 pages, and I have about 100 pages to go.


message 211: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) I'm about to post the final results... Barb.... :D


message 212: by Steven (new)

Steven (gallifreyan1218) Final results (unless Barb posts the book before 11am)
Barb might have finished another book since last night (she said she would be but not be able to get on early enough to post it)... but we met our goals on Friday anyways so.... final update!

Steven (gallifreyan1218) LOL why'd you post this in the Mango Tango thread, Oo? :D


message 214: by Barb (new)

Barb Yay team! We were one of the four teams to have completed every part of the RaT challenge, so we've been awarded a 2-book bonus for our Tower challenge. Unfortunately, even with the bonus, we've dropped down to 9th place overall, so we have some catching up to do!

Thanks to our captains for staying on top of our progress and keeping everything updated as the RaT continued :)
