If only I had a penny for every point we had. I'd have 36 pennies.
The spreadsheet is wonky - the shark turned into a x3 somehow? Putting in a request to the spreadsheet goddess now :)

The Dare and the Doctor by Kate Noble

September 8th
Syringe (hero is a doctor, doctors use syringes)
I'll enter it and any other finished books once the spreadsheet is straightened out :)
Kazen, the shoe got the bonus *3 and the sports genre got shark...
Ella - yup!~points up to the first post of this page~
Is broken. Kelly will fix it. :)
Hm, my new audiobook has been read by A Bookworm Reading of the Tapirs. Not yet claimed, but I know I've already done a square. Thoughts?
Completion Post!I finishedSummer Blowout
For 268 pages
Square I5: Summer in the Title
@Bethany, I am not sure we will get to another board, so I am just reading books that fit for an unclaimed spot. I would think you could read the book, no problems. If we read enough (less than 2 days) maybe we can get a coverall. Reading Frenzy.
I am going to try to read a book with Gate or Knight in the title tonight. As long as there are no other conflicts. Trying to pick the less flexible ones.

Let me know whether you're doing gate or knight. I'll try to do the one you don't.

The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani
488 pages
9/8
read by A Bookworm Reading of the Tapirs
My computer is acting up so it's hard for me to post but I am 70% done with my book and Will finish by tomorrow.
Ill try for knight. I found an interesting Gate book, but just don't think i could get through it fast enough. the Knight book will be tight.
Finished!
Persuasion, Jane Austin
246 pages
I liked this classic...which is not typical for me. Very well written.
I think I may try and read it again sometime soon.
Bingo spot: Classics
It appears that there is more spoken for than may be noted...is there anything specific I should try to read. I could do a short story if needed. Will check in 8 hours from now...time for sleep.
Tammie - sorry I'm behind updating that! It matches the bingo board at least ;). Updates once I'm home and the spreadsheet is fixed.
Finished:
Please don't tell my parents I'm a super villain by Richard Roberts.
08Sep
376 pgs
Bank?
Are we saving up books to try for another pattern? If no, I will check after Kazen's update to see where this one will fit.
YAAY!!! Congrats! :DBethany wrote: "Also GUYS I FINISHED MY 100 BOOK READING CHALLENGE!!!"
Huh. Pickings are slim. Maybe the "death" spot or I can check the Snow Leopards spreadsheet when I get to my laptop....I don't see any penalty for getting a new board and NOT submitting a pattern on it so I hope there're are better options on the new board for this book. :)

The Millionaire's Proposal by Janelle Denison

218pages
crib-book abt unexpected pregnancy
Im not sure what books are taken but if it's available , I think ill do
for summer title . Il try to finish it fast but ..... I have 4 assignments to give up in abt 2 weeks that I havent even started( was someone talking abt being the master of procrastination?) ;)
Hi Ella,I read a book for summer already. Just finished yesterday. Just FYI
Ohok cool.. I havent yet started it. i guess ill wait till the board is updated to pick a book
Ok i'm really itching to start a book so im doing
. If it fits in any of the remaining slot i try to finish it before the end, or ill drag it on till the next challenge.P.s-Wow i lasted all of 32mins (since last post) before i broke n had to find a book haha
I'm finally home, phew! The detour was worth it, though - I went to a used book store and picked up Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Goldfinch for roughly $5 US altogether! Much better than the normal bookstore, where trade paperbacks are $25, even if they're only 200 pages. Imported books are so expensive :(
Okay - so it appears we had the weird luck of the shark and the x3 square being on the same spot, which sent the spreadsheet into a fit, hehe. But all is better now so I'll get everything up to date :)
I don't think anyone has read a book for find, for this board. We have about 20 hours left in Bingo, so it may be tricky to finish books.I am trying for Knight. I think Bethany mentioned trying for Gate. I was going for the words because some of the picture spots we can manipulate unsuspecting books.

Do you guys want me to change over the board as soon as I can, or do you want to sit on this one for 12 or so more hours?

Way to search! I hope it didn't take you too long to find a match :)
I am fine either way. I just was trying to find specific books. We can change over the board if we have banked books that don't fit. The knight book might not fit, but I might not finish either. So I would switch over if we can use our banked books :)

I love it when a challenge helps me find something I didn't know I like, hehe. Great work!

Bank it is, for now. I'm planning to turn the card over, even if it's only near the end of the challenge, but we should be able to fit it in somewhere :)

Non-Pattern Goals

I think I'm up to date - let me know if I missed something.
Ooh... My book will go with the grim reaper because the book is abt the heroine over hearing people planning to killthe hero. Ithought this spot was taken. It wasnt right?

The Sports Gene by David Epstein
9/7
338 pages
Decided to finish it, because either you can use it as the shoe because they talk about runners a lot, OR you can use Rose's book for shoe and use this for 'genre is sports', because, well, duh.
Also GUYS I FINISHED MY 100 BOOK READING CHALLENGE!!!
