I'm placing Keys to the Repository in the Win the Lottery task for now. We will see how the fantasy and YA tasks get covered (or not). It may be moved in the end.

Is this correct, or did I miss one of your reports while I was absent from the scene?

Camilla | 2101 comments Huh, I have just finished Keys to the Repository for the lottery slot (I believe it completes our second life) and Cum Laude for college slot. I think I could take one more, but I don't have anything that would be suitable for any of the 5-pointers, so I will read Revealed, it will work for either one word title, YA or fantasy (or lottery of course).

I have to admit I'm currently suffering from a slight reading nausea; you know the feeling when you've read many books in a short time? When the toppler is completed, I will certainly watch some TV and not read - at least for a few hours.

Lanelle | 4020 comments I've finished reading Morning Light for Have a Baby: main character gives birth.

I don't think 4th Life In-Laws Come to Visit: some type of reunion (5 points) as been assigned, so I'm going to start reading Backwater. This book would also fit as a YA book, house on the cover, and takes place in the mountain.

Lanelle | 4020 comments I've finished reading Backwater. It will fit into several tasks: some type of family reunion, a YA book, house on the cover, and exotic animal (Aunt Jo has a pet wolf).

I thought it might work for takes place in the mountains, but my daughter and I dusted off our math skills and discovered that the main character was only in the mountains for 56% of the book.

Is there an updated list of tasks that need to have books read for? I'm ready to start my next book.
