No, unfortunately not. Toughie for sure. :(

Teddie (teddieg) | 1011 comments You guys are rocking this Easter Egg Hunt!!

I should be done with my 2 by Sat midday - so I might be able to find another short one for after.

Victoria | 387 comments Darn, I thought I had the answer to the Church task since in Magic Slays Kate goes to a Jewish Temple - figured I could make the argument to use a temple instead of a church. And then I realized the MC needs to work in a church. *sigh* I though I was being really smart there for a minute.

I'm reading A LOT of books right now, but if I have time I may be able to The Borgia Betrayal for the church task - the MC works for the Catholic Pope so it's got to work. And it's set in Italy.

Trinia | 935 comments Hey Gang!
I just noticed 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess I've read on line 103 for task "Read a book with a Number between 1-500 in the title (can be spelled out)" Could be used for task 95 Main character works in a church. Unless someone else is reading a Number book I could probably finish 113 Minutes in time.

Also, I moved The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini to the MC's go to the zoo. Hoping to finish that one.... unless someone else gets to it.

Let's see if we can finish out this challenge, y'all are amazing!

Please post here for what you are currently reading so we don't doubly cover tasks

Shamber | 151 comments I finished Winnie the pooh & a movable feast (set in Paris). I will finish the surgeon tomorrow.

Teddie (teddieg) | 1011 comments Update on Eggs that need 1 book to complete:

- Spell it out: U
- book where MC works in church
- book with pots & pans on the cover

Today is the last day, so if we haven't heard from you in a while and you've been reading books, the time is now! :)

Stacey (boydsmom) | 94 comments Howdy everyone! Sorry I've been absent. I have finished Midnight Alias for my suspense book and will finish Daughter of Smoke & Bone by the end of the day, I promise.

Unfortunately, I don't think I'll get my designer book done. Today is my parents 50th Wedding anniversary party, and the last few days have had a bit more prep, shopping, prep, family and prep that I was anticipating. If something changes and I can sneak it in before I fall asleep tonight, I'll update.

Thanks for checking in Stacey! Cangrats on your parents' anniversary :)

No worries about designer book if you don't finish - have fun celebrating!

Victoria | 387 comments I'll have Lost in a Good Book (grey cover) and Fatal Deception (DC) finished tonight.

I finished Ink and Bone yesterday - will update later, which I absolutely LOVED! And I'm now listening to its sequel, Paper and Fire, which I'm also nearly finished with. The MCs in that book are actually in Italy right now if we still need that task. If not I'll see if I can fit it somewhere else. (I'm in love with this series!!)


Michelle's Empty Nest (mlundy5) | 13 comments I started the one for mc work in a church a day or so ago. I'll finish very, very soon today. :)

It's this one.


Michelle's Empty Nest (mlundy5) | 13 comments OK, since the MC works at church is already filled, I can instead finish up a book with 8 & 0 in page numbers. With other banked books, it looks like that would finish the #8 Heathcliff Tasks.

Would that be a better plan?


message 567: by Trinia (new)

Trinia | 935 comments Finished 113 minutes ... terrible signal. Unable to update.
Tornadoes in our area last night . We are safe, no power :(


Michelle's Empty Nest (mlundy5) | 13 comments Went ahead a finished In Another Life since I was so close.

Back to The Heart Goes Last which covers 8 & 0 in page numbers. How long do I have??


message 569: by Trinia (new)

Trinia | 935 comments Way to finish out team! I'm finally getting a little more signal for Goodreads , still can't access google sheets :( figured it would happen on our last day.
I'm doing my best on Kite Runner. About 55% in , but my family is bored and bothering me...lol!


Michelle's Empty Nest (mlundy5) | 13 comments I've finished my last book and done all I can do. It's been fun everyone!! :)

Teddie (teddieg) | 1011 comments Thanks Michelle!

And great job to all of you!

Trinia and I will be submitting all of our books officially tomorrow - you guys have kicked butt at reading for all these tasks!



(Not the right Bones, but you get the gist :D )


message 572: by Victoria (new)

Victoria | 387 comments Good job team!!

I just now finished Fatal Deception, finishing off one of the eggs. I was really hoping to have a bit more time to find and read a 100ish page book to finish off another egg, but I'm too tired :(

Still, looking at this spreadsheet I think we did a pretty great job :D


message 573: by Trinia (new)

Trinia | 935 comments Finished Kite Runner - Wow! What a story ! Good night all, hoping to wake up to electricity :/


Michelle's Empty Nest (mlundy5) | 13 comments Kite Runner is one of my all-time favorites!

I finished Ink and Bone the other day! I loved it so much I went ahead and listened to the second one as well :)

Teddie (teddieg) | 1011 comments UPDATED STANDINGS:

I've entered all the books possible for the Easter Egg hunt, and we are at #7 right now. I was hoping we would finish 15 Eggs and we finished 19, so woohoo! A really awesome finish and effort from all :D
