I was expecting you to say something about your wrist and maybe back. Not quite sure what to say about the whole butt cheek thing!

For the audios, was the story or the narration?
The one it was more the story: The Last Time I Saw You.The other it was the story and the narration: Breaking Silence.
I think 'sucked' may have been a bit harsh...I gave them both 2 stars. The first one I went in knowing it's probably not the best work of the author's based on reviews but the pages were right (for the toppler) and it was available to borrow. The second one I was disappointed. I really enjoyed the two previous books in the series and was expecting to like this one as well. I'm pretty sure I won't be continuing on in the series after reading it.
It only took me an hour and a half, and book 4 is complete! I finished Jackaby. I have a 5th book that I'm going to start now, but I doubt I'll get it done. Who knows.
Done with Dracula. The book that was suppose to be read in a weekend took me the whole week. Don't blame the book. It was a hard week for reading.
I struggled this week too, Sandra. But, I'm glad I finally got these two books done.
I finished another book, and I might be able to squeeze in another one before tomorrow morning at 9:00 that is my end time, but I'm not quite sure, it's short, but we shall see :-)We have all done very well!!!
I finished The She last night and frantically looked over my shelves at home for a book around 175 pages. None to be found! So, I guess I'm done for this toppler.
I'm finished too. I won't be finishing my 6th book. We did well and I'm really excited to see how we did! Great job everyone!
It's always fun to share a toppler. Thank you everyone!
Just under the wire, I finished my 5th book: Zarafa: A Giraffe's True Story, from Deep in Africa to the Heart of Paris
Most surprising for me is I read 3 non fiction which I hardy ever read. Was a great week.
Yep,another great toppler. Grid looks great, Dawn.
Fantastic job everybody! Just posted my final book!
I pulled an all-nighter and finished Magic Bleeds at 4:00 in the morning. At 9:30, a client texted and wanted to drop off paperwork. I asked her to give me half an hour. Twenty minutes later, she texted and said she'd be delayed till noon. Waaaaa! I could have slept a couple more hours.
Good reading everyone! :)
Dawn: You did an amazing job on the grid!! 
Thank you!It still may change, if I can sort out a way to get more points....
Hope it was a good book, Janice! I stayed up late several times, but as soon as my eyes started getting blurry I was a goner. I was surprised I read more than the planned 3 books. It helped I got a day off work. But 2 of the books I read were slow and kind of boring, so that didn't help. I was very easily distracted.
I didn't manage to finish my last book in time, but I'm pretty happy with the number I read. Great work everyone!

Looks great!
I'm wondering.. with Jack and Jackaby, can they connect at "jack"? J'mom?? Or are they only allowed to connect at one letter? (I'll post this in the main thread too in case she misses this.)

CFDeeDee, if you can post your books (I hope you're back), we have until tomorrow to finalize our scores and grid.
Once we get all the books reported, I'll give the grid one more shot and see if I can beat Vicki's points.
I don't think my book will count in !! I finished it by evening :( Sorry guys ..
I don't think I can improve much on Vicki's grid. I managed to add a few more points by adding a word she didn't have to work with yet, which brings us to 413 for the grid.
All we wait for now is to find out where the bonus squares are I think.

Nice one Dawn! I'm a little embarrassed because I was the one who read the Zahir! LOL xD
I really appreciate those of you who are putting together the bingo board! It would have my head spinning...lol!
I agree. You are doing such a dedicated job! Thank you!
I third this sentiment! Thank you! :-)
Same from me, thank you, it would do my head in too.
Dawn and Vicki, you're doing an amazing job figuring out that grid. I'd probably go bonkers trying to work and rework it.
We need to post our points and grid in the thread for that purpose. Dawn, do you want to do the honours?
I couldn't post a photo to save my life. So if anyone else wants to go ahead and post it that would be fine. :)

I've been trying for the last40 minutes, but I couldn't. All I got was [image error]. I've post pics before, but it's not working with the grid. Sorry. I'll keep trying. Maybe someone knows how to do it.
I got it up. I was getting the error too but then it suddenly worked so let's just blame goodreads :P
Thanks girls! Sounds terribly frustrating.
Great! Thank you, Vicki!I even took a picture of the grid and was plannig to post it if it didn't work. I know... I know... Shameful... :)
