Wow, Rebecca! Congratulations!
I'm away this weekend and on my iPad. I'll badge you on Sunday when I get home. Congrats Rebecca.
Congratulations Rebecca!!! We can all stop by to visit your wall on Sunday to see what the badge looks like!!!
Wow Rebecca, impressive! Do you plan to finish the rest?
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just got home and went to post your badge, Rebecca, but I couldn't find it! I was sure I had the badges done and ready to go, but I must have dreamt it.I'm really tired and I think an early night is needed, so I will do up the badges tomorrow and post in the evening.
Sorry to keep delaying.
Hi Rebecca, do you ever reply except to say how many books you've read at record speed?Well done, though can't imagine enjoying that many books in so little time. Wow.

Sweet, Deborah! I have your Australia books on my TBR. ;o)
I love the Gerald Durrell trilogy, Cherie - I laughed like a loon reading it!
Deborah wrote: "I love the Gerald Durrell trilogy, Cherie - I laughed like a loon reading it!"Oh, I am glad! I know I have the first one on my challenge - somewhere.
Rebecca and Deborah, you have both been badged!
Janice, if we're planning on reading something for each continent, do you want us to wait and post those along with the 4 sites completed, or should we post them as "bonus" sites?

I hope you love it as much as I do :)
Thank you, Janice - I will go work on the next one.......
Wow! Congrats, Rebecca and Deborah. Way to focus on your goals!
Did I not say congratulations, Deborah? I meant to say congrats before posting my question!
Lynda wrote: "Janice, if we're planning on reading something for each continent, do you want us to wait and post those along with the 4 sites completed, or should we post them as "bonus" sites?"Post your initial challenge first - the 4 sites.
Then, when you complete all continents, post that separately. You could post something along the lines of:
North America - Site [blank]
- task a
- task b
- task c
South America - Site [blank]
- task a
- task b
- task c
etc.
If you have already reported a site in the original challenge, refer to the message #:
North America - Site [blank] - refer to message [blank] above.
Does that work?
Wow! Congratulations to Rebecca and Deborah! Awesome! And inspiring me to get my selections figured out and read.
thanks everyone. I don't have internet right now except for my cell phone, so that's why I haven't been posting much.
Being restricted to my cell phone would certainly slow me down too, Rebecca.
Off subject and I apologize, but I had to share... every time I see the title for this thread, I immediately think it says "stamp my passport with a BADGER" and it makes me LOL inside my mind. :D
I think the badger would likely do the stamping, or the biting at any rate.
I so love that badger Camilla. It made me smile.
That badger is great!Also, congrats to Rebecca and Deborah!
Love it, Camilla! We totally need a badger badge for one of our challenges. Maybe an alliteration challenge of some sort and our reward is the bouncing badger badge! LOL.
I like your stamping badger Camilla! He can be the mascot of this thread.

Super job, Lori! You've been badged.
Thank you, Janice. I enjoyed this challenge. Looking forward to the next leg of the "trip". It has made me search for books from specific areas and in the process I have read, and immensely enjoyed, books I would have never read otherwise.
Congratulations, Lori! An interesting selection of books. I engoyed looking up the titles and reading your comments. Of course, I had to add a few to my reading list.
Thanks, Cherie. If your library has One Click Digital you will find some of them there. My favorite was The Book of Murder followed by Italian Shoes and Love in the Time of Cholera.

Please list each site and the 3 books you've read for that site. Keep it nice and neat, short and sweet. I only want to see the site name and the links to the books. No explanations, no copying of the tasks - just the name of the book in a link. Because, quite frankly, some of your personal threads make my head spin.
Site 1
- book 1
- book 2
- book 3
Site 2
- book 1
- book 2
- book 3
Site 3
- book 1
- book 2
- book 3
Site 4
- book 1
- book 2
- book 3
- book 4
Once you have completed the challenge, the only other time you'll report here is when you have completed the bonus round of all 6 continents (instructions here) and/or when you've read one task in each site. Again, report only the sites, the task #, and title of book read.
