All the Tasks have be claimed now. If you're working on more than one Task and would like help, just let us know.
Kim has her Chance book.
Davina has
Keri has
And then we're done!
We’re doing great! I just finished the full house one. Will go post the review shortly. My chance book and the one for the straight are the same series and I should finish them over this long weekend!

Keri E. wrote: "We’re doing great! I just finished the full house one. Will go post the review shortly. My chance book and the one for the straight are the same series and I should finish them over this long weekend!"I figured you would have them all under control. I was offering just in case.

Keri E. wrote: "I can’t believe how quickly we finished all the tasks!"We've accomplished so much in just 12 days. I think the hard part will be keeping up the momentum. I'm worried about burn-out. If anyone has any ideas to keep it fresh, let us know.

I'm always down to read more. :) I think I read 10 books for this already. You ready for round 2?
Library wrote: "You ready for round 2?"Very ready. Itchin' to start readin'.
Couldn't you already start on round two? It has the same requirements as round 1, right?
Davina wrote: "Couldn't you already start on round two? It has the same requirements as round 1, right?"I thought that I read that we couldn't start the 2nd round until we finished the 1st. I'll ask.
Sorry it took me so long at ask, but I just got confirmation: We cannot start Round 2 until we've finished the 1st.
What is considered round 2? Can we redo all the challenges or is it just the Yahtzee challenges?
Keri E. wrote: "What is considered round 2? Can we redo all the challenges or is it just the Yahtzee challenges?"All the tasks. The whole thing.
I peeked at Team Daisy's thread. They only have one book to finish before they are done with this round of Yahtzee. And they are already claiming tasks for Round 2. Is that something we want to do?
Like I expressed in message 111, I'm worried about burn-out. If anyone has any ideas to keep it fresh, let us know.
I'm done with all of my tasks. How many tasks are missing for us finish round 1?I think Kimberley's chance book and is there anything else?
Lanelle wrote: "Sorry it took me so long at ask, but I just got confirmation: We cannot start Round 2 until we've finished the 1st."ok, but does that also mean, we cannot start reading for the second round (for example a chance book) or does it only mean, we cannot put them in the review thread yet?
Davina wrote: "I'm done with all of my tasks. How many tasks are missing for us finish round 1?I think Kimberley's chance book and is there anything else?"
Kim's Chance book and Keri's Large Straight book. Check out message 5 for a quick glance at the Tasks.
Davina wrote: "ok, but does that also mean, we cannot start reading for the second round (for example a chance book) or does it only mean, we cannot put them in the review thread yet?"We cannot start reading for the 2nd Round until we've finished the 1st.

Thank you, I did look at it, but wasn't sure if Keri hadn't already finished all her tasks. But of course, you are up to date with everything. Thank you for keeping it so orderly! Also: I love the saying you put there: "Keep calm and let's do round 2" :D
Davina wrote: "I love the saying you put there: "Keep calm and let's do round 2" :D"You peeked :) Yep, Round 2 tracking is all ready to go.

About keeping it fresh: Maybe for the next round we could assign a specific section to everyone? For example I could do the four of a kind all by myself, someone else could do the small straight, someone else the large straight, etc... That way we could better prepare what books to read instead of deciding spontaneously every time we finish a book.
I think someone on Team Daisy is already reading a long book for Round 2, so are you sure we can't start reading, and then wait to finish the book after the round starts?

So, I looked into Team Daisy's chat and they are only saying that they shouldn't post reviews for round 2, but as far as I understand, they already are reading for it. I will ask Melanie.
Library wrote: "I think someone on Team Daisy is already reading a long book for Round 2, so are you sure we can't start reading, and then wait to finish the book after the round starts?"You're right. Someone started Les Misérables and decided she wouldn't be finishing any time soon, and they are putting it towards Round 2.
Davina wrote: "I will ask Melanie."Thanks for checking.
Melanie says: "You can start reading for round two, just cannot post for that round until the first round is done."So let's go ahead and claim tasks for books you've read that weren't given a spot during Round 1.
And Davina suggested: "About keeping it fresh: Maybe for the next round we could assign a specific section to everyone? For example I could do the four of a kind all by myself, someone else could do the small straight, someone else the large straight, etc... That way we could better prepare what books to read instead of deciding spontaneously every time we finish a book."
Shall we try it for Round 2, or do you want to stick to the way we did assigned Tasks for Round 1? Or does anyone have another idea?
I like the idea of picking tasks up front so we know what we’re responsible for from the beginning. And we can plan which books we will read easier.
Round 2 tasks are open for requests. I will put your name next to the task you ask for in message 5. Please ask for just one. Your choices are:P. S. I had Section 1 on the list, but I think I'll remove it. I think that Section doesn't require much planning, and I'll save it for unscheduled books we may read, i. e.; for other challenges, just for fun, etc. If you read a book that will fit one of the tasks in Section 1, just let me know and I'll put it in.
P. P. S. Davina and Kim, you get first dibs for Round 3 tasks, okay?
I finished a book with a red cover this morning and I'm currently reading a book that both Megan and Melanie rated 5 stars, so I'm going to claim the Yahtzee task.
I can do Small Straight and Full House for sure. I already have 2 for the straight, and am finishing up 1 for task #4 and can also do task 1 or 2. And then just wherever it's needed.
Library wrote: "I can do Small Straight and Full House for sure. I already have 2 for the straight, and am finishing up 1 for task #4 and can also do task 1 or 2.

Are you talking about Section 1 when you say "am finishing up 1 for task #4 and can also do task 1 or 2..."
Yes, sorry, I wasn't clear, the book I'm reading now can work for Section 1 task 4 and the next book I'm reading can work for either task 1 for a debut, or 2 for 2 people on it.
Library wrote: "Yes, sorry, I wasn't clear, the book I'm reading now can work for Section 1 task 4 and the next book I'm reading can work for either task 1 for a debut, or 2 for 2 people on it."Thank you. I'll put your name by #2 and #4 in Section 1.
I would like to do the large straight if possible.

Thank you for being flexible, Kim. Are you okay with taking 3 of a Kind?
Kimberly wrote: "SureHUGS"
Awesome. Thank you. How are you doing on your Chance book?
I should be finished in a day or two, barring migraines.HUGS
Kimberly wrote: "I should be finished in a day or two, barring migraines.HUGS"
Okay. Take care of yourself!
So sorry I am not finished with my last book yet! I started classes last week and it took me a lot longer than I anticipated to finish all of my homework this weekend. I should finish up the book today though!
Keri E. wrote: "So sorry I am not finished with my last book yet! I started classes last week and it took me a lot longer than I anticipated to finish all of my homework this weekend. I should finish up the book t..."That's okay. Homework is more important that reading. I guess ;)
Best of luck on your studies.
I have read
for my 3 of a kind (Christian fiction) and I read
for my chance.

Thank you, Jada.
It looks like the last Task that needs to be claimed is Yahtzee's read a book that a teammate or mod rated 5 stars. Has anyone had a chance to find a book for that category?
Also, everyone can fill in their Chance book when they get an opportunity.
