Ok. I could flirt with Keanu Reeves. People say he is weird enough (I don't like it boring)

[Kristie, Moderator]

Love it, Mariab! From what I understand, he's a good guy.

National Children’s Dental Health Month - read

[Kristie, Moderator]

I finished George for National Children’s Dental Health Month.

[Peg]

For the National Children's Dental Health Month I just finished reading . An extra 5 points for being a Newbery Award winner!

Who would I flirt with? Just not sure, I'm naturally a big flirt. I may just flirt extra special with my hubs this week. He's getting an impacted wisdom tooth removed and is going the route of sedation. Messing with his mind while he's medicated might just speed up his recovery!
If it has to be someone else, I guess I'll just say Alton Brown. Smart, funny and can cook!

[Lara]

For American Heart Month, I read , which has werewolves.

[Sam F]

Flirting eh? I'd probably prefer to flirt with Brad Pitt or Antonio Banderas ;)

[Annette]

Flirting... so many choices. At the moment I would have a hard time choosing between Chris Pratt and Aiden Turner... but then why choose? I'd gladly flirt with both! ;)

[Deborah]

National Children’s Dental Health Month - - read

Love Your Pet Day - - read

[Rusalka, Moderator]

I saved my flirting until we started, in case Jmom was being a meanie.

David Tennant is my flirting person. Lexx and I have an agreement that whoever sees David Tennant first gets dibs :P

[Kristie, Moderator]

Updated to here. Please let me know if my math is off anywhere.

[Lynn]

Thank a Mailman Day -

Flirting ...... George Clooney or Benedict Cumberbatch

[Peg]

@Kristie, only that you missed putting me down for my flirting.

Thank a Mailman Day

Very good choice Rusalka for your flirting! So is it who can Run fastest between you and Lexx?

[Kristie, Moderator]

Thanks for catching that, Peg! Updated to here. :)

Him, but I don't play fair :P

[Lynn]

Lame Duck Day –

Read a book with a rating of 3.5 or less on GR. Tell us if it was worth it.

Ugh, no it bloody wasn't. I hated it with a passion. 1 star rating for me.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Oh, that's too bad, Lynn. At least you read a monthly themed book and got toppler points for it. Would have been worse if you had just read it for fun with no perks.

Updated.

[Lynn]

Kristie wrote: "At least you read a monthly themed book and got toppler points for it. "

It's the only reason I kept going with it. It was bloody expensive too, just short of £10 for a kindle version!

[Kristie, Moderator]

Oh, yikes... I hate paying that much.

[Annette]

Finished for "Get a Different Name Day" The main character is names Amanda Sinclair. I love that name. Sounds sophisticated to me. When I was a kid I loved the name Amanda.... or Cynthia.

[Lori Z]

I finished Caddie Woodlawn for Children's Dental Health month. It is a Newbery Award winner so 5 bonus points.

[Peg]

Finished a little while ago and plan on finishing up the second book in that series later this evening. I'm not getting as much reading in as I had planned today, because you know, I planned!! Hoping my week falls into place a bit better!
Hope everyone else is getting in plenty of page turning!

[KimeyDiann]

I finished Secrets of a Pet Nanny: A Journey from the White House to the Dog House for the favorite pet category... whichever day/week that was for, I can't remember right now.

[Annette]

Finished For Creative Romance! The guy in this book LOVES wine. I mean he really, really loves wine... and food, but mostly wine!

[Deborah]

Love Your Pet Day - - read

[Deborah]

Walking the Dog Day - read

haha - then I went and put this in the wrong thread! Jeez I'm a fool sometimes! *Note to self: stop being so nosey and mind your own business*

[Deborah]

more focus on bonus points needed - did a head count and we're about 70pts behind team 2

[Deborah]

National Children’s Dental Health Month - plus 5 points for Newbery award,

I loved it!

Ah well, early days yet. But agree I would focus on the bonus points categories as a strat.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Updated to here. :)

My migraine seems to have finally broken. Woot! I'll be finishing up a couple books today.

I was looking at the list and could definitely go for adding some bonus points for eating pizza while reading a food related book. lol I'll have to see what I have that fits, if it's not too long. Maybe I'll revisit that romance category too...yuck.

[Sam F]

I finished - The People of Forever Are Not Afraid by Shani Boianjiu.

3 Bubble Gum Day – a book where someone does something that qualifies them for being too stupid to live (TSTL). (view spoiler)[One character keeps sticking his head into the cars of people crossing the border (against the rules) and gets his next sliced in two. (hide spoiler)]

[jaxnsmom]

Hey you arses - remember to tell us a little about your flirting, like about their beautiful eyes, stupid lines - the book I just finished had some great ones (are you wearing a spacesuit? because your butt is out of this world), innuendos. And their response.

[Sam F]

Oooh I forgot about this. I just realized today I'd rather flirt with Jon Bon Jovi! He's performing in Toronto in April. I would love to send him a knowing smile and touch is arm, gaze into his eyes as I told him he's wanted dead or alive. So cheesy... :) Would be a better time than Pitt or Banderas.

Maybe cheesy, but I love it.

[Kristie, Moderator]

Hahaha! Perfect, Sam!!

Should I touch the Rock's arm and tell him he's solid, like a rock? Thank God he has a good sense of humor. I'm sure he'd still roll his eyes at that one, but he'd probably laugh too, or at least smirk.

[Deborah]

American Pie from this verse:

"Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Now do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?"

I love it! He has quite the arm :)

[Deborah]

as to all my flirting (all 5 of 'em!) - you want seduction? Just make me laugh! All of them have done - not like the way that M. Trump makes me laugh - that's unkind.......Mind you, once I had a husband and he made me laugh in exactly the wrong way! (see Deborah's 2017 Declaration)

[Deborah]

Kristie - that looks better! I've another American Pie in hand ans (bleurk!) two romances. Maybe I should find more APs?????

[Lynn]

I'd be telling Benedict Cumberbatch that I felt a bit strange and needed him to investigate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO8xJ...

[Kristie, Moderator]

I kicked two additional arses today!

I finished The Funny Thing Is... by Ellen DeGeneres. Unfortunately, she is not nearly as funny in her written work as she is in person and the book took me a while to get through.

I also finished Confessions of a Scary Mommy . This was somewhat funny and relatable.

Both books were listed as humor for the National Pistachio Day task.

[Peg]

I finished another for National Pistachio Day Doctor How and the Deadly Anemones and one more for National Children's Dental The Secret of NIMH . The Secret of Nimh is a Newbery Award Winner so bonus of 5 pts.

@Kristie, I don't know why my points dropped to 10. I should be at 60 with the 2 books I'm adding right now. And I guess I need to elaborate on my flirting? I'll get that later on. Let me know if I missed something else or you need any more from me. Thanks!

[Kristie, Moderator]

Sorry, Peg! I probably meant to add 10 and just changed it to 10. I had a migraine for the past 3 days (it's finally gone today!!) and I can't think when I have them. I'm going through to redo all my math now. Thanks for letting me know.

[Peg]

Thanks. You're doing awesome, especially battling that migraine. Glad you're feeling better!

[Kristie, Moderator]

Thanks. :) Should be all set now. At least I had the total right. lol If anyone else (on the team!) sees any mistakes, just let me know.

[Lara]

Book #2: for Hoodie Hoo Day, one of my life-long favorite genres is science fiction

Book #3: for Bubble Gum Day. The heroine goes for a ride in the bayou alone when she knows there's a murderer around.

Book #4: for Creative Romance Month--human and alien couple
