Added my black boots book to the spreadsheet - works for REST. Think I'll read a rescue dog book next if that's okay. Looks like it is still open and I have one where the MC adopts a dog from a shelter on page one. :D

I got that one added.

Allison Ann the dog shelter book sounds great!

It was a bit of a "slow burn" book but by the end all the pieces came together rather well. A lot to think about in light of the "Me too" and focus on hidden domestic violence at the present time. And I thought that tie in to The Dry was really clever.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

I'll have time to read one more book before the Challenge ends (sob), what categories do we still have open for the mini challenge?

It seems that getting on a plane (10 points) or belt on the cover (40 points) are left.

[Suzanne]

Lisa, I haven't started my "read a book with angels or devils" book yet - I'm still going to read it, but I could always push it til next week if you want that task, and I can pick up the belt one.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Oh great, I've got books for the plane and the angels. I can probably do both if I push it, so how about you do the belt one Suzanne and I'll start the angels next up..

[Suzanne]

That sounds perfect! I'll update the spreadsheet.

Finished my shelter dog book - - MC adopts her dog Blue from the shelter. Letters are PRESN.

I'm in town tomorrow and lots of waiting room time, so I should finish by end of day.

If anyone needs to give up a task, let me know. I should have time for 2-3 more books. Otherwise I'll just read for letters. :D We are kicking ass and taking names this week!

[Lexi]

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is dragging and I may not finish in time if you want to find one with the word "presents" in it and I will focus on my other two.

Thanks Karen.
I have two hours left on the audiobook for the Good People. I’m not enjoying it as much as I thought I would.

I’ll look at some others tasks and try to find a book to read before the end. I don’t see what else I can be doing on a 38 degree day

I will have my books finished by Saturday Morning

[Suzanne]

I'll have my books done.

And it's cool that we can still read for letters AND get tasks done!

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

I'm off to finish mine today. I like it, and it is an easy read, but I find I can't read lots of short stories together. It is a little jarring jumping from one to the next

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

I'm on track too.

[Allison Ann]

Finished #4 and another book, added the letters on the spreadsheet. I'm reading a book now for "presents" in the text, will be done tomorrow afternoon for sure. I definitely have time for at least one more if anyone can't get to a claimed book.

[Lauri]

I will definitely finish all my books by tomorrow night! I took the day off -- going to see the Eagles in concert tomorrow!! I am SO excited! They are my absolute favorites & I never made it to see them before....

[Lexi]

I only have one to go and 300 pages in it so I should be fine by tomorrow evening.

[Lexi]

Suzanne's book - The Last Present - it is on the 4th read through for T

[Eunice]

Hi, sorry for the long absence. I've been super busy since it's the second to the last week before finals, plus no internet.

I'll be reading The Reversal

Is there still something missing for the mini challenge? Ah, I'm so sorry!

Very exciting Lauri - enjoy!!

Sorry Karen - I didn't see when you asked about that Presents book! I'm glad teammates covered the question :) I have meetings this morning then will be home to write finals and get my other books done :)

[M]

Started reading and I forgot how much this book destroys me emotionally. I love Enzo.

[Lexi]

I have done all six set of questions for the BOM. Do I need to provide links to all six for credit?

[Suzanne]

Maybe just link a couple. Nice job with that!!
