It'll be the last book on Card 4, I think.

[Lory]

Sweet! I can also read a book for#8 and#9 in a series.
and

Unless those are claimed. I'll read Eight first. I've read them before, but it's been a while .

[Ray (user2637)]

So this finishes up Card 4.

Margaret, Rose -- can you enter it and get a new card, or only Kazen can?

I'm quite uninspired by our choices of tasks atm and my current book is laaaagging, so hoping for some new inspiration. :)

Please remember that the captains are in vastly different time zones - who enters things often comes down to who wakes up or gets out of work first. Thank you for your understanding. :)

[Kazen]

I think I'm caught up but I'm rushing before work - yell if I missed something :)

[Ray (user2637)]

Yeah, it was ~3am in Japan when I wrote that so I figured you wouldn't be up for a bit which is why I asked the others -- it was midday on the east coast. :)

ETA aaaand I totally forgot Margaret is in AUS. blerg.

ETA annnnd there is no way it was 3am in Japan but I guess I can't read world clocks atm. Probably due to my huge intake of allergy drugs since I got ill at my nephew's party yesterday and had to come home early. Sorry! I'll just be over here in my allergic haze. Don't mind me.

For Card 4: I banked a 600 pg book a week or so ago! Ride Steady...I don't think we used!
Missed the book I'm doing for 'sea'...will finish in next few hrs...Card 5

[Bety]

Oh gosh, I used to read a children's series that was focused on horses that I loved. I don't remember the series name, but maybe I'll go searching and see if I can find it and read one.

Or I could like, read a grown up book about horses or some nonsense. :P

[prag ♻]

Haha, you should (could) try The Scorpio Races, it's by one of my absolute favorite authors. It's about water horses.

[prag ♻]

Also, I'm sorry I'm not able to complete my book- it's been a very very very hectic week, I'm organizing this event for school I'm so drained (I think I slept for two hours yesterday *sigh*) however I have holidays starting tomorrow, so I'll get back on track then!

If anyone wants to take my spot card 5 so it's finished faster- I have no issues :)

The Goal post needs a little updating with the new cards - I'll do that along with an all over check when I get home from work. So if there are minor discrepancies they'll probably be resolved then, no worries. :)

I can definitely do a 'Valley book', but won't get to it until Thurs/Fri...so if someone finds one sooner...that's fine. I'll check before I start it. Still working on my #7 and I have an unexpected full day tomorrow.

[Lory]

I just completed which works for #9 in the series.

I just went to a bookstore and have 3 books that I bought.
I have which would work for under 200 pages (the book I have is 189 pages) or red cover or 2 Ds in the title.

I also have which was published in October.

Last I have which works for spell it out S, T, R.

I am off to bed now, but I will check back in the morning to see which might work best. I'm excited about all the books, so just need to figure out which is the most beneficial :)

This sounds great for bribe for the stable master. It's nice to get the bribes out of the way first, then you can concentrate on other things! ;)
