Yay Steven! I knew you could do it if you put your mind to it :)

[Steven]

Go Ashley GO!

Nancy, it was just for fun anyways :) NO pressure!

Thanks Barb!

[Diane L]

Congrats Lisa, Barb and Steven! And to others who played but don't have as much available reading time (I remember those days when I was working and had small children).

[Steven]

Thanks Evana! Have you enjoyed the summer with the grand kids? :)

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Congratulations Steven and Ashley Marie. Well done all.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

We've all been reading a lot because we're back to No 9 in the overall team challenge. Go Mango Tango!

[Barb]

I was just coming here to say the same thing, Lisa! Go team *waving pompoms* ... which would be more effective if I *had pompoms LOL Do 'shakers' from college football games count?

[Steven]

Go us! :)

[Ashley Marie]

Officially finished :D

Thanks for letting me participate guys! This was an awesome challenge :)

[Barb]

Yay! I'm glad you had fun with it :)

Number 9? I'd better get on then and update my completed books!

[Barb]

We've been #11 for the past several weeks, so moving up to #9 is exciting :)

[Steven]

Way to go team! Let's stay in the top ten! :D

[Nicole]

Whoo hoo! And I just finished another book last night!

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Good one Nicole. Keep posting those completed books. I am usually the least competitive person but somehow every Monday morning I am checking our position. I'm a competitive challenge reader! Who knew, LOL.

[Ashley Marie]

Congrats on moving into the top ten guys :D

I think it's just exciting for our team to have finally broken into that magical top 10! :D

[Barb]

Me too, Nicole! Now I hope we can *stay there -- or even better, move into the top eight! Then we'd be in the top half of the field :)

[Nicole]

:D:D I think it's partly because of these wonderful and imaginative challenges that we are getting motivated and moving on up!

[Jane]

I have finally finished, I didn't read as much as I would have liked this month but with everything else that has been going on I guess it is okay.

Congrats on reading Ship of Magic as part of this challenge. That book is long.

[Barb]

That's what I thought too, Nicole! Congrats, Jane, well done!

[Steven]

If anyone is interested in finishing past the deadline, that's fine... keep on trucking!

Just remember to focus on the August challenge too!!! :D

[Steven]

Does anyone plan on working on this still? If not, I'll have the Mods freeze this like they have our previous challenge threads!

[Nicole]

I have already started submitting books for the August challenge, so it's alright with me if this thread gets frozen.

[Barb]

Yep, works for me too :)

[Moderators of NBRC]

Just let us know.

[Steven]

Freeze it! :)
