Snarling Sabertooths
Okay so essentially the bigger the book the less we would have to read. We would need 5 1000 page books but like 156 books that are only 500 pages. right?
yes thats about right Alex, unless we have people that fancy reading big whoppers i think we should bin that card, my books are only about 400 pages max
Sort of, yes. I'm not all that brilliant at the maths thing either haha.
Though there's always the option of just discarding this card altogether ;-)

Mmmhh there are a few holes that need to be filled in. Just check the spreadsheet once you're ready to pick up a different book :-)

Level 12 needs: everything but #1, #2, #11

Yeah I'm sure there'll be room for that one somewhere :-)

If you are good with either, the #4 will help us close out our next level since T is working on a #3.
ugh another Aberfan documentary tonight, it's 50 years on Friday so it's a massive thing here at the moment.this was on tonight, not sure if you guys can get iPlayer over there though? Lots of video footage, so so sad.

im doing a 1 at the minute if that helps?i can do the chunky IT book for the other card but will probably take me all week to get through that brut!!
Well you don't have to read IT. If we discard the card... up to you ladies!
As for the rest - I think the #1 is filled with the series Tamika is now reading, but I'm starting to be confused so might be better to doublecheck on the spreadsheet haha.
Feel free to snag one of my spots, if you want to! :-)

Sure, I can do a # 4 next.kind of mad with my dice roll though. I rolled a #1, But I was hoping to work on a series that I had already started....anyways, I found a quickie on, and then will head to my 4 which is a longer one.
Oh, and I think the Dholes or The Dumb I Octopuses have hexed me....I forgot my Kindle at work AGAIN!!! I have had a kindle for what 10 years? And have never left it at work before. This is twice now...it the only explanation.
GRRR!!!!! I would hate not having it with me too!!! Just finished one for the spices... Basil
and started a #3 book and one for Turmeric:
I've been getting through a lot of the books I've had sitting around which has been kind of nice!
My daughter asked me if I changed my profile pic on instagram tonight... Apparently I had NOT changed it to a big boobed girl in a wet white t-shirt... and renamed myself "Linda Hart". I'd been hacked. WTF????
People are weird.

Sorry, I thought you has already taken care of this. If 340 is what Amazon says, then that's it. My version is Kindle which is why I linked that version.

LaurLa wrote: "I finished my #6 book. Should I read for card 1 or 2? Which one do we want finished faster?"Card 1 is probably more likely to be completed faster since there are less books needed to be completed. Abbie has a book for each card also and I think she said she's reading her Card-1 book first.. if that helps?
I do have the dice card done, however with my kindle I cannot add the correct addition, do zip will get it added once I get to work.
No stress, Abbie! There are two more books for that card that need to be finished so I think you have a few hours ;-)
Keep your fingers crossed for a good replacement for card 4!!

My Arrowood book will work for that last one on the newest card posted.The Family Friend task a money bribe not to tell the police where the girls bodies could be found.

I can look, Abbie - but wasn't sure where Arrowood was supposed to be slotted for?I see you down for st Johns wort and a series #1.
I'm currently working on a book for turmeric but can find another place for it if you want turmeric also?
It was banked but not put on the spreadsheet yet, I don't think. At least I didn't as I was waiting for a card to pop up where it would fit, knowing that you keep track of your books.
EDA: @Abbie and the Arrowood book.

Hardwood was banked because I had no where to fill it in yet. I finished it yesterday, but it works for the new card we got today for the bribe.I posted the reason earlier this morning.

Oh no worries, Abbie!
We keep tabs, and since you do, too, none of us were worried about that :-)
