Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) This is only for when you finish a book. I will still check the less active players read shelves to see if books fit in somewhere. But it would be awesome and if people could post when they finish a book and what categories it might work for here.

Just finished books!

If you want to reserve some spots for yourself to keep track of your progress, please use this thread: 7%-Player-Tracking

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) DON'T BE DISCOURAGED IF YOU FINISH A BOOK AND YOU THINK IT'S ONLY CATEGORY IS FULL. BOOKS CAN BE MOVED UNTIL A CATEGORY IS SUBMITTED AS FINISHED.

Holly I read Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris in the Sookie Stackhouse series. This meets a couple different letters for #5.

Andrea (deja05) I finished Wild Awake by Hilary T. Smith yesterday.

I also did some snooping in the other teams' books and found matches for some of the books I've previously posted. You don't have to use these books for "behind enemy lines" if they fit better elsewhere though. The books are:
Binding the Shadows in Christal of Purple Mountain's Majesty
Losing It in Ezinwanyi... of Cerulean
Faking It in Dragana of B'dazzled Blue

Hope this helps!

Approved for bronze.


message 47: by Mary X (new)

Mary X (marymaryalwayscontrary) Updated to here except for possibly moving Andrea's books to Behind Enemy Lines.


message 48: by Riya (new)

Riya I've been looking at the 7% challenge, and aren't we allowed to skip some of the things, because I think it might be easiest if we skip Behind Enemy Lines and the Book of the Month and then double up in other categories like Spell it Out. I'm not entirely sure though, because this is quite confusing...


message 49: by Riya (new)

Riya I also forgot that I read another book earlier this month!!!!!
