I'm assuming we made are goal that we needed to? I finished my book late after midnight last night/this morning and then just got on. This was a blast ladies as always!!Thanks to Chris for keeping track of all the math with the page numbers!!
so what's the prize? how did we fare with the other teams?
Catherine wrote: "so what's the prize? how did we fare with the other teams?"I don't think they're all updated (to the mods thread), yet. The deadline for updating is late tonight or tomorrow.
I think the grand prize is more BAPs. - I would defer to someone who knows what they're doing on that one :-)
p.s. - keeping track was fun - I got to add all sorts of things to my 'Want to Read' shelf.Thanks to all of you for keeping me honest, and keeping track of your numbers so well.

I thought you were the expert!!! lol :)
Catherine, there will be BAP issued. First place gets 10, second gets 8 and so on. We won't know the results until Monday.We did a great job team!!
oh..ok.. :) just wondered what we were doing it for...I mean..*cough**cough*...why, to read of course! lol but I mean for the challenge...was there a purpose...because all the others seem to have some kind of purpose..Alphabet Title, etc...and this one was more of a free for all..
What a great challenge and everyone did such an amazing job. Thank you Chris for all your hard work on this one!! Can't wait till Monday to find out how we did.
I just saw the spreadsheet comparing all the teams(so far) for the read-a-thon...and we are really well off!! :)
I just went and looked at it as well and we look pretty good!
