Task:
Book 4, Task 4 - Read a book with mermaids
Quick update! We have two books left for tasks (Passenger from Kristel and Firestorm Forever from Laura) and then we'll have completed all of them! It looks like we might be the first team to finish them, we are at 1040 points in the tasks and the next team is it 840. Which. Is. AWESOME!
We need 47 more books to finish characters, which puts us at a total of 49 books left to complete everything. We will totally do this! :D
I went back and did a full look at the letters we need vs. the ones we have in the bank and it looks like we really have all the letters covered. I can shuffle quite a bit, it's just a matter of getting more books read to fill in the gaps!
I’m hoping to finish mine by the end of the weekend.

I'm working on my Dragon book, and will have it done in time. It's one of those that moves quickly when you're reading it, but when you get interrupted it takes awhile to get back into it. So long, on this one, that I finished another book first. :)
Vicky how many more books do we need for the spell out?
Ora wrote: "Vicky how many more books do we need for the spell out?"Ora, I'm counting 40 empty spots on the character tab. And there are 8 books posted here that aren't used there yet (not counting Kristel's Passenger which is for a task). So 32 left.
We got this! :)

Guys quick count but I think we have enough books to finish! I'm going to come do an update soon, just finishing up a book. :)
I’ll post the Dragon book by the end of the evening today, so that takes care of the tasks, too.Do we get points for the Maze?
You know... I'm not sure what the prize is for the maze. I'll have to see if there's something in the captain's group.BUT! We have officially completed all the characters, YAY!! Keep reading and reporting because we'll still get page points for everything else we read - but awesome job finishing up!
I'm going to be at work Friday when the timer ends, but they're giving us two days to finalize the spreadsheet. So as long as you post by the end of the challenge I'll be able to add it later!
Do we get BOM points? I’m going to try to finish Magic Triumphs.
