I'm reading Scandal Never Sleeps it has Monday in the text and a funeral takes place or it will work for lots of the spell it out if you use Mindy for the Monday instead of a K.

Its annoying and frustrating! GR members are deleting the book and then readding it to help "solve" the problem. I think it happens because we accidently hit the wrong button.
Go to your homepage, hit the "my books" at the top of the page. Find the book you want to delete and hit the "x" on the right hand side. Wait for GR to process and then "ok". The book is off your shelf and you can add the book again. Hopefully no "reading for the second time" this time! Good luck.

That's a relief. I had the audio book so just thought to listen to it since its not too big and could be used. Forgot to check other stuff :)

Oh, that seems like a hassle :( . Thank you for the info though and the luck :D. Its says so for most of my UNO shelf books, so I think I'll wait till after the challenge in case it messes up something :)

[Luna]

Read a book with an Australian native animal on the cover ( what are the native animals of Australia ? )

Kushmi wrote: "Read a book with an Australian native animal on the cover ( what are the native animals of Australia ? )"

Here are some I have found:
kangaroo, koala, echidna, dingo, platypus, wallaby and wombat.

Edit: I'm not having much luck finding books I own that meet the requirement for:
Read a book with a 1 &6 in the page count
Read a book with an 8 & 0 in the page count

Its really hard to find one. Sigh.
Let me see if I can find one to fit either of those :)

PS. Do the captains have 36 hours after the challenge finishes or before ? I didn't get that.

[Luna]

Page count is 169, so will work for "Read a book with a 1 &6 in the page count".



Page count is 180, so will work for "Read a book with an 8 & 0 in the page count".

Only problem is I can't check the word count cause it's not there in arbookfind.

[Anna]

I am readingRescue Me

No, daylight savings time was in March. Which should push the end back for me by an hour:-)

Edit--- yup , I see what you mean now. I supsect someone copied and pasted and forgot to change. I took it from another team's page as I couldn't find it again in the captain's thread. I'll fix it:-)
