Speaking of braining, I've been running either a low grade or really serious headache for some time now. I'm not enjoying myself.

Hope you feel better soon MrsJoseph. Headaches suck.
Thanks! It's ok. I took something so its back to being low grade again.

On the Edge
His Little Troublemaker
The Key of the Keplian
Total points? My guess is 22, but I think that is low.
Okay, so 4 for books.
3 for alphabet plus one for starting that category
For 8 points? That seems ridiculously low. You could at least start the Easy Category and have 4 points plus 1 for starting.
5 + 4 + 4 = 13?
I also started the genre category but haven't finished it yet.
Oh, There's also this:Genres
an urban fantasy book On the Edge Ilona Andrews
So another point for 14 and one for urban fantasy for 15.
I added a (date) or (??) behind the names in the leaderboard so we know as of when the score is accurate.I have sinking feeling my lead is not really that much if I'm even leading at all. :P
I'm up to 37 points :)I havent been very good at letting you know every time I finish a book... sowwy!
No problem and thanks for the update.

I just have to remember to cut on comments for pages - which are programmed differently than posts.
57 points.Winter's Tales by Isak Dinesen.
A book
Genre: Short Stories
Category Started: Genre
Time Travller: Season
You're catching up and starting to look like you're going to hit that 120+ book mark again.
IDK, I'm only up to 10 books - and I'm reading 3 of those 10 right now, lol.I should be knocking at least 3-4 books a week. Instead of per month. O_O
Hmmm...something is rotten in the state of Goodreads. You're stats and challenge say you're at 19 books this year. :)Next year. NO ALPHABET CHALLENGES. I've got a list of books now to cover the alphabet, but X and Q and Z are just super-annoying to do.
HomeInMyShoes wrote: "Hmmm...something is rotten in the state of Goodreads. You're stats and challenge say you're at 19 books this year. :)"Yeah. I got caught up in my feelings in 2016 - I put a couple of delays in posting reviews. IDK. Angry at the GR focus and not wanting to give them content.
So, I have about 7 pages (or more!) of reviews on my blog that have never gotten to GR. O_O I read something like 238 books according to my personal tracking list.
I'm pretty sure I've got all my books in since 2011, before that it is spotty.
HomeInMyShoes wrote: "I'm pretty sure I've got all my books in since 2011, before that it is spotty."I wish I could say that. O_O
But I at least shelved all of the 2016 as 2016. Good for me that I know what what means but I hope GR chokes if they try to use it for data.
^.^
"You are never bitter, deceptive or petty."I used to work at a place where we'd go for lunch every now and then. I had three fortunes from a certain restaurant that said that. I taped them to my monitor. We used to joke that if you added "at the same time" at the end then it was probably accurate for me at least some of the time.

LOL!!!
IKR? I think it would fit me very well, too (the "at the same time part").
Paying Daddy's Debtbook
ABC: "P"
Time Traveller (starting category) - takes place in 24hrs (except epilogue)
This one was TERRIBLE.
4 points for a terrible book might be an okay return.
I thought my eyes would roll out of my head.
But you toughed it out and its made you stronger.
LOL!!Yes!
(or stupid-er)
A bunch of books to get to 70. :P
