You did great and thank you for being great team :)
You are welcome to continue if you want to see how long it'll take you to get 25000 pts. Spreadsheets will still work, goals will be there and boons will still be granted.

Maybe we didn't win but I had fun. I didn't feel any pressure and I discovered a lot of great books.I'm not against continuing to play if the rest of the team is up for it. And I am also willing to irregularly help to Judith with entering books (as I did while the challenge lasted...)
Thanks for being a great team, guys! Special thanks to the captains who are all fab!
Also I'm up for continuing to the finish line if everybody else wants to.
I am up for continuing as well, I haven't been reading as much as normal but I am preparing for my daughters birthday this week.

That's the worst dilemma for a present. I always have that problem when I need to buy present for my sister's daughters. They have everything.
Here's some of their favorite toys (maybe you get some idea): doctor set, cake-making set (from play-dough), frozen glass+plate+mug set (I bought them this and they loved it), ...
I have a boy so the present is easy (at least for him). Just buy him a car. :D
His birthday is on the 15th Feb, but I am a lazy mom, I just delegate everything. We rent a public kid's playing room (not sure how to translate to English) and they have photographer+food+drinks+toys+cake. So we just show up, have fun and then leave and leave the mess to them. ;)
Congrats, team! I think we did pretty well and I had fun. Our captains are amazing, thank you for all your hard work :)
I'm definitely in with continuing the challenge.
Mod
New Goal: Read a book with the name of the tarot card "The Fool" in the text or title (again)

We did something similar last year for her birthday, but sadly this year we don't have the money for that, so we are just having a small thing here... I think we may take her to build a bear for her birthday so she can have fun building a stuffed animal and I do believe they have My Little Pony's that you can stuff and dress. It would probably be tons of fun for her..hopefully I will be not as sick by then but I doubt it, but I will put on the best happy face I can. Lol.

That's great news about the boon. :)I am currently reading Winter. Already found: asparagus, tomato, onion, ruby, pearl, the empress, ... I try to spot words I remember from goals. Although in the end we will probably use it for something like 'book with title starting with W" :D
