Jolene, the 5 points in post 133 that I was off was because although I had it on my copy as HF, I forgot to include the HF points for Best Kept Secret by Jeffrey Archer which should bring my total for that post to 54 points and total for the challenge to 374. But if it is too late to include those 5 points, I completely understand. I just forgot to list it but had included it in the total points anyway.
