As for mine, I will have done tomorrow before the deadline and updated. If the deadline looms closer we can try to fit in other books finished or read one real quick to fill. Let us know here ASAP if you cannot finish your book so we can cover. Thank you - we are almost there.
I am supposed to be buddy reading Scythe but the other person hasn't begun it yet and sadly her mother passed away last night. So I went ahead and started The Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein. I think it'll probably give us more points. I really hate for this to end. We have had such good camaraderie on this team and we've all been so supportive. That doesn't happen on all teams.
I seriously hope to be on teams with you guys/gals again!

Vicki wrote: "Will the deadline still be 1:00 PST?"Yes, it will still be the same time frame as other Saturdays (1:00 PST, 5:00 EST)
We have several books read that were not used for tasks as well, and some of these may fit in if a task is not finished without having to read/fill in new books.For now, off to bed - will check in the morning and back to reading =)
Finished my last task for the challenge. Can't believe it came so quick. I've had fun with this great group! Looking forward to more challenges and meeting up again for sure!
Just finished my last two books. I now have a book hangover and probably need a nap later. I really enjoyed this challenge and participating with all of you awesome readers. Have a great weekend!
I finished my BOM and posted my DQ's on the thread and on our team's BOM SS. I am off to finish Scythe now because I'm almost done anyway. lol There are two tasks now marked as done on the SS that my two books can fill, but I think they might have been completed but the completion dates were not added to the SS. If we end up needing to cover, the two my books would cover are "black boots on cover" Empire of Storms and "black text on cover" The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein. I won't have time to read anything else to cover the others. I hope the other teammates come through for us.
Thanks again everyone! It's been such a pleasure to work with all of you. :)

As always, you amaze me Vicki. Thank you SO much. I am going to look through all the bonuses now and see what's done and if anything is left over. I'm glad you enjoyed Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein, just saw that in your Daily Questions.
It looks like we are down to only 1 bonuses needing completed.Cecily, do you think you will finish this book in time?

I admit to liking the funny reindeer and their drinking habits so far lol
Cecily, just in case you don't finish, I'll put a placeholder (this alien santa book in). If you finish in time I will switch with your book, just want to be careful just in case since we're so close to the deadline =)I'm sure your book was better than mine lol

And Thank you being such an awesome Co-Captain!
I should be done with one more book before the deadline, it's an easy read and I'm about halfway through.
We are now fully through and checked in.
Woo hoo!! Thanks for all your hard work as captain, Erin. I appreciated your encouragement and enthusiasm!

Thanks Erin and Teri for all your hard work with this challenge! Awesome job by all!
I thoroughly enjoyed this challenge. I do wish I had been able to read more. I guess I had too many other challenges going on at the same time.

Hm, not sure. Really whichever calls to you more. We won't win for the BOM points but it will give that book extra points, and it's a pretty interesting and easy read. I haven't read Scythe so I'm not sure if that's a slower or faster read.
