Do you know if phone lines are down in parts Sunshine? I know ppl wouldn't be able to make to a library if that was their only internet access...
I not sure about the phones but in Chicago there were over 7 thousand people without electric service yesterday. They stopped mail delivery and Wed/thursday we were colder than Antarctica, Alaska, and Siberia

Hi CB - could you please add that the 'handwomen' is in the precis? Thanks :)
And so pleased you are OK too with all this weather up there!
Final Update for Date 6 - you earned 2 Roses! 🌹Cathy, PM if you had weather issues causing you to miss the deadline.
From our Challenge Mod:Reminders for Completion Posts!!
When making your completion posts, remember you must include how the book/s qualify. If the task states, for example:
L is for League - Read a sports romance, evident in either the précis or tagged.
Saying 'the hero is a runner' or 'MC is an athlete' doesn't qualify the book. Using 'précis states that hero is a football player' or 'tagged sports by 7 people' does qualify the book.
I allowed many qualifications this week similar to 'hero is a runner' but only when I found the evidence in the précis or on a shelf. That was a lot of work for me, but I want everyone's books to work! Please help me by posting correct qualifiers - thanks!
And a great big thank you to those who post a link, or page number for shelves, or how man people tagged the book with your qualifier. That helps me a lot, not required, but much appreciated! 😊
I think we've been ok (haven't checked yet) but we should include those shelf link/page qualifiers in our posts as well
Week 7O is for October.
Will update the details later today 🙂
O is for OctoberRead a book that has any edition published in October. Please list which edition qualifies your book, i.e. kindle edition, hardcover, mass-market paperback, audio, etc. The edition MUSTbe listed on GR. You do not have to read this edition, but your chosen book needs to have at least one edition published in October to qualify.
Remember books must be 90 pages and MPG romance!!
You have until Friday, February 8 @ Midnight US EST to post your completion(s).
Please ensure that your completion post conforms to message #2 of your team thread. If you complete more than one book for the date task, be sure to include that information in your completion post. Remember no discussion in your completion posts!

Hi Cathy - I can't include it in our results unless Kat clears it. I think she may only be considering those impacted by the extreme weather up north, but you should PM her anyway and give it a shot... :D
