have you ever read ? it is less than 300 pages and a non-fiction. It is something I read when I was a teenager. It is very interesting though he goes into detail about the wolves so you'll have to be in the mood.

Made some discoveries early this morning. After this next week when we go in to round 3 and combine teams. Currently we have Attack 175 Defense 231. I know we will be adding more to it. Looking at the other teams when they combine next round.
Genghis Kahn/Vercingetorix A:184 D:219
Achilles/Vlad A:163 D:210
Alexander/Hector A:169 D:208
We are a minimum of 33 points behind to beat their defenses.

Thanks Amanda..This will be useful! I must have searched 10 books last night and my own library didn't have them. I would have had to wait until Monday or later to get anything! I found an interesting Margaret Atwood book but I'll have to order it and get attack points for it:-)

How did you like it, Shannon?"

I really want to read this series but I guess I will have to order it. Neither my bookstore or library system carries it.

I just won my first one last week! It was a graphic novel for my kid, but I won it nonetheless.

Sorry I was away yesterday! I went into town with my mom and didn't get home until late. I'm getting caught up on the thread and spreadsheet now.

I know! It sure is a hard task.

Is Iko in the book Scarlet? I will reread it if she is.

I have a book that I am 3rd in queue that fits the 'a novel' goal but that won't work for us. It will be at least 6 weeks before I get that book. Back to the drawing board for this one.

I plan to start the next Dresden book this weekend. You will probably finish before me though but it could be used as the 10th or more in a series goal that might pop up.

As for "A novel", I own a ton of those books. I just have to check and see what my selection is & if it's something I can do quickly.

If two of us are reading a book that fits a goal.. wonderful. Both work for points. Whoever finishes first gets the goal completed. Its been sitting there too long.

[Laura]

Saxa's new goal:
Read a book where characters go on a picnic

read a book first published on the 12th of a month complete

read a book that starts with T used Chris; book
The Counterfeit Heiress

read a book with a title between 7-16 characters -- complete--- used Chris' book An Old Betrayal

[Laura]

If anyone is around and wants to check Saxa's new goal with our read books while I finish adding the books to our spreadsheets that would be appreciated .. if not I 'll get to it when I m done

Yes, I'm aware. I'm aiming for attack points anyway.
