I started a monster a couple of days ago. I thought it was going to be about half the length, but then I noticed some major page discrepancies on the Other Editions page and did some research. Had I realized this a week ago, I would have started it then. But in addition to the 25 Jumbo points, it has other styles, and of course a review. I have some other shorter works planned too, so hopefully will make up for a late start for the team.Reviews, everyone! Easy points for Team A.
I'm still in Guatemala...and not getting much reading done at all.... but the next few days should allow me more time...and I have a bunch of old old plays that I plan on reading. No jumbo points...but Oldie points and NaN points.... and some combo points. I get back on the 17th.
I've been excited about planning for March 15-April 14! I've got some oldies planned...and yes, reviews!! :)
I'm excited to see how we do!
I am listening to a very long audiobook that will also have some other styles.Also, I have three or four physical books with a lot of styles ready to go. All in all, I am ready for this team challenge!
Ed has been reading oldie-moldie plays and racked up a ton of styles for us!165 points by my entirely unofficial count. Well done!
My Dumas is coming along, will be finished this weekend - possibly Saturday.
Ooooh, and it looks like Ed just finished another one -- by my count we're up to at least 205 (and I could definitely be counting wrong!).I'm about to finish a Donna Tartt book -- and today's snow day has kept me at home (unfortunately still doing some work but with more reading breaks built in :) so I'll probably finish today. Should get us 45 more points!

And some more from Katy. I think that makes us260
And Elizabeth puts 65 points on the board!
And I just posted Olive Kitteridge (brilliant book!), which adds 35 style points to our count, bringing us to 360.

Ed continues to rack up the points!Challenge ending Saturday midnight EST. My reading timing seems to be off and I'll have just one more book I can complete before then, but it's another 35 styles, so not nothing.
Go, Ed!I have 130 style points for books that I have read in the period, but not yet posted, and then I will be finishing two books within the next couple of days which have 65 style points combined. I'll make sure to post as soon as I can, but the reviews always take me a long time to do.
Les Miserables! Well done!
Thank you! It took me two seasons to complete it :-)
Managed to get a last one in for another 20 points for the team. Well done, everyone!
Go team!!! I'm trying to finish up one, maybe two, books today, both of which will have a lot of style points...we'll see!!
Oh whoops, just realized the challenge already ended!! I was way too slow on The Moonstone, though it's a good one! Was calculating April 15 not 14. Oh well. Great game, team!
We're glad you got to participate - you did get some postings in, I think.

But I did only finish them today, so it doesn't feel like too much of a waste.
