And we're off! Happy reading everyone.
As long as you've got a book in your hand your sorted!
Where is everyone? I hope you're all so busy reading that you haven't come up for some air.I'm taking a short lunch break and then I'll get back to it. I've got one row of my quilt done too. I will take a longer break from that because sewing is aggravating my shoulder.
You're making great progress, Jannene!
Because there are more tasks required for the rooms than the other categories, we should probably consider doing multiple reads of the smaller categories. We have the rooms covered at least once for the complete sweep bonus.So, if you are looking to double or triple up on books, maybe look at Character and Weapons.
We still only have one book committed for Dagger/Knife, Lead Pipe, and Rope.
Of course, since colour of covers is relatively easy to gopher for, we could do several sets of Characters.
I am halfway through my first book. Happy reading!
I've finished my purple book. Now on the the blue one.
I finished the revolver. Since Lanelle did purple, I will bounce to my yellow read that can be yellow, dagger/knife or kitchen.
I have about 4 hours left in my first book, so moving right along. :)How has day one been for everyone?
I finished my blue book. Off to the reporting thread.I hope everyone is enjoying their stories!
Good morning and welcome to day 2 of the toppler. Not much chatting is going on. Hopefully, that means that people are busy reading.We are currently sitting with 25 points after day 1.
@ Thanks, Jannene.I have Church this morning. I'll get started on my next book this afternoon. It will be a quick read.
Go team. I haven't had chance to start any books yet as i suspected. I will start in about 10 minutes when i get on the train.
I hope to finish book two today. I am 40% in it. Heading to my nephews graduation.
I finished my first book - Beartown which gives us 10 points. I'm super stoked because it's my first 5 star of the year. Woot!I'm about 25% into The Ballroom in hardcover. And will start The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender on audiobook (blue) shortly.
First, I need to grab some lunch.
Finished White cover 
will go to report
also managed to pick up red book from library in Town
Well done those finishers!I'm about half way through The Fireman and its still going well.

How are you liking it so far, Sam?

Marie, apparently you reported in Team 4's thread instead of our thread. Each team has it's own reporting thread.

Nicely done Janice!
I finished
by Joanne Fluke which can be yellow, kitchen, and/or dagger knife. It has recipes in the book, the main character owns the "Cookie Jar, and it has a yellow cover. I put it under dagger/knife but we can move it if needed.
Let's leave it under dagger/knife for now, Jannene.Two days in and we've read 8 books for 50 points. Doing well, Teamies.
I am going to start
. It looks like the MC helps a friend do repairs on the house for lead pipe.
It sounds interesting, Jannene. I went house hunting last week and we were greeted by a big ginormous dog at the first house. Thankfully he was uber-friendly and just wanted to play.
I couldn't update the sheet to show what task that I was reading. Could someone update lead pipe under me?
I have finished my first book for the Hall category. I will head over to the reporting thread. I will start my next one, but need to go bed soon so not sure how far I will get. Good job everyone!
I've finished my green book. Off to report it.

It's really good thanks Janice, I've only got a little over 200 pages left already! You can certainly see he inherits his writing style from his dad, which is lucky since I am a massive fan.
I'm about a quarter of the way through my first book which is for the library task. No idea how I'm going to fair with the others. But I think White and conservatory are covered any way just in case things go tits up for me.
I have to read something for another challenge Station Eleven and because it is due back at library soon - i currently have 20 out of a possible 21 loans from the library and others waiting to be collected so must read some before i get to the book for family (which i will get to this week i promise)It could fit actress / lounge if that has not already been read for
it might fit other things as I go along

Sam wrote: "Marie wrote: "I have to read something for another challenge Station Eleven and because it is due back at library soon - i currently have 20 out of a possible 21 loans from the libr..."yes 21 books and 6 on e-library so i currently have 25 in total
I started my audiobook for the white task. And it's slow narration so i'm able to speed it up.
Jannene wrote: "I couldn't update the sheet to show what task that I was reading. Could someone update lead pipe under me?"Jannene, what book did you read for lead pipe? I see you have completed Knife & Revolver. Is there a mistake on the spreadsheet? I don't see anything in the reporting thread for lead pipe from you either.
ETA, I think you just want someone to mark that you're reading it? Done
Marie wrote: "Finished The Girl in 6E red cover
will go and report it done"
Marie, you keep reporting in Team 4's thread. Each team has it's own reporting thread. Our's is here.
Good morning, everyone. We have 75 points, and 12 books read so far.
We just need the yellow book to complete the Character section and get 20 bonus points!
Please check the spreadsheet and make sure the books you have read have been recorded properly. I keep mixing Janenne and Annette up in my head. I better go have a cup of coffee and clear out the sleep dust that's still in there.
Great job so far!
I'm a quarter way through my audiobook now too. It is one seriously messed up book. I love it! So I feel better about my progress now. Well done team! It will be exciting when we complete out first section!
I started The Long Hard Road Out of Hell last night. Already I can see how Marilyn Manson became such an out-there performance artist. He had one twisted childhood.I will start The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender later today.
When I finish those two books, I'll be able to start plugging in holes on the spreadsheet with other books.
I've finished my yellow book. The character section is completed. Off to the reporting thread.
