Nichole | 620 comments It just worked out that I was able to read those extra books. They were also very short and Free! I do have 3 more team challenges starting Friday though, so the chances of that happening again are pretty slim, lol.


message 652: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 620 comments I'll be starting an audio for the Red 8. I need to finish this one first though. And the rest of the ebook that I'm working on too. Will have both of those finished tonight.

Carrie  (icanhasbooks) | 143 comments Dang it. Back to the drawing board. :)


message 654: by Carrie (new)

Carrie  (icanhasbooks) | 143 comments Is this round going to be like the first one? First hand has to be complete before the others can be done?


message 655: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 620 comments Not exactly. We can fill the cards in any order but at the end of the month we can't have any skipped hands. Make sense? I don't see us having a problem though, even with 7 more cards this round.


message 656: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) Make sense to me, what challenges are you starting Nichole? Although I already know one is shelf pursuit, that one is pretty simple with only a single book a week :-) but you better make that your priority, LOL!

Nichole | 620 comments Umm, I really need to write this down somewhere. I have my own group for tracking and stuff and all kinds of bookmarks but I need to see a list in my face to keep track, lol. 2 of them are only a book a week but add those in with the others and it doesn't always work out that way >.<

Shelf Pursuit
Pass The Parcel in RRRC - I just realized this doesn't start until the 10th but teams will be assigned on the 3rd.

Uhh.. what the heck is the other one. Oh, Escape The Room if we ever get a Team checked in. Half of my Team disappeared and she's trying to fill it up.

It seems like I'm missing something still....


message 659: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 620 comments Nice Jennifer! That fills the last spot for that section and I have 2 for the other one!


message 660: by Carrie (new)

Carrie  (icanhasbooks) | 143 comments What's that challenge? The Escape the room (because I don't have enough challenges on the go lol)


message 661: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 620 comments Lol, it's in AMMP but sign-ups are already closed. I think we're the last team to go through.


message 662: by Carrie (new)

Carrie  (icanhasbooks) | 143 comments Ah dang, Yeah I only discovered that group not long ago and I've started a few challenges there :)


message 663: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) But if they need a back up Player they know where to look :-) I've already played that game, not that I'd be of any help as to how to get out of the room, my team is still in the room, LOL!


message 664: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 620 comments Well, you should also check out AMMP Game Night! Lots of challenges in that too :)


message 665: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) And those are both the absolute best groups, not that I'm biased or anything ;-)


message 666: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 620 comments Haha Berit! I was trying to trick K~Terror into signing up too but she didn't bite.


message 667: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) ** goes to check out pass the parcel challenge** signs up** blames Nichole**


message 668: by Carrie (new)

Carrie  (icanhasbooks) | 143 comments I'm there too.

I'm working on my list of books I have been recommend to me in the few pifm challenges I'm partaking in for March, time see if they line up with any of our hands.

Nichole | 620 comments I need to stop doing that or it's gonna stick! XD


message 676: by Carrie (new)

Carrie  (icanhasbooks) | 143 comments Do we have list of the completed mini challenges? I just realized I forgot to look at my read books to see if they will fit any of the ones not done.


message 677: by Carrie (new)

Carrie  (icanhasbooks) | 143 comments Also, I'm almost done a book that will work for : ❤ Read one book that was first published on the 14th of February of any year for 10 points if we haven't claimed it yet.


message 678: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 620 comments The only tasks we have left are for this one. 9 open spots.

❤ Read a book your valentine team has read that was first published in Feb of any year


message 679: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 620 comments There are 2 that can be moved down if you have anything that will fit for this one...

❤ Read a book your valentine team has read in Feb or added in Feb of any year.

Aricia (autumnaleaves) | 104 comments Oh no! Can I still add a book to our completed list?

Yay! We were wondering where you were!

Ghost in the Stacks I love snakes, but book covers with snakes on them are not that good.....


message 691: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 620 comments Ha! I see you had a theme going, lol.


message 692: by Berit☀️✨ (new)

Berit☀️✨  (berittalksbooks) If I started a book yesterday can I use it for this challenge? Or did it need to be started in March?


message 693: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 620 comments You can use it!

Amazing Race.....believe me, I wanted some more "grown" up books, but those were the only ones My library had available. At least they were both short and I knocked them out pretty quick.
