Namita  (-namita) | 699 comments Hope you feel better, Maria!!


message 952: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments No problem Maria, I think we should have plenty of books this week. Hope you feel better soon!

I've finished 11 and am working on 12 now. Should be done in a couple hours.

Anyone else have any higher #s? If not, I'll just start filling them in.


message 953: by [deleted user] (new)

I can do #22. I'll see if there's any others.


message 954: by Namita (new)

Namita  (-namita) | 699 comments Is this blue or brown cover?? The Last Mile (Amos Decker, #2) by David Baldacci


message 955: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments That's great Cyndee!

Namita, don't think that would work for color cover.


message 956: by Namita (new)

Namita  (-namita) | 699 comments Thanks, Cathy!! It qualifies for top shelf contemporary!


message 957: by [deleted user] (new)

Cathy, I can also do #19 if you want


message 958: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments Sure, go for it!


message 959: by [deleted user] (new)

Awesome! Grabbed 15 too!

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments Just finished #12!


message 961: by Namita (new)

Namita  (-namita) | 699 comments Alrighty!! Only one chapter to go and I’ll be done with #13!!


message 962: by Namita (new)

Namita  (-namita) | 699 comments I’m done with #13


message 963: by [deleted user] (new)

You. Girls. Rock!! I'm in the US so have the whole Thanksgiving thing happening tomorrow but I'll get #15 close to finished as soon as I can and hopefully be close to finished when Cathy is done with 14. Don't hold it against me if I can't get to it immediately! :)


message 964: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments I haven't started 14 yet but plan on reading later tonight so you're good! Will probably finish late hours tonight, and plan on listening to 16 while I'm cleaning & cooking tomorrow. Can always get a start on reading 17 & 20 as well. So enjoy your holiday :)

Hope everyone has a wonderful & safe Thanksgiving holiday!

Ash | 206 comments Completion Post
Book: Animal Farm
Pages: Audiobook. Default version - 122 Pages
Date Read: 11/28
Mini-Challenge: Lust Part 2, The Bad Books list
-
Just to be sure, the default version is the one on top when you click "see all editions" under the book's page, right? Since it's set to go by the highest amount of ratings?


message 966: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments Yep, that's correct Ash.


message 967: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments Finished 14!


message 968: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments Cyndee - I see Clash on your TT shelf but it wasn't posted on the planning sheet. Because it was finished on the 24th need to confirm - was it finished this week?

It was. I forgot because I wasn't in a place I could look up where it fit when I finished it. Sorry!

And I've finished book 15. Sorry for the delay!


message 970: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments No problem! I only have a couple chapters left of 16 & 17 so i'll finish them now. Will finish 18 later today.


message 971: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments Ended up going out for lunch but have finished 16 & 17 and about to start 18.

Nice!!!


message 973: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments 18 is done!

I'm almost done with 20 as well and starting 21 & 23.

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments Last mini-challenge details have been posted!

Vanity Mini-Challenge

Vanity or pride is an excessive belief in one's own abilities.

As you certainly remember, we asked you to recommend two books on your sign-up form. These recommendations are going to be the pride and joy of this mini challenge.

For the remaining two weeks, as a team, read as many of the recommendations of your fellow players as possible. The recommendations can be found here - Enjoy!

◈ Only books finished between 2nd and 16th December will count for the Pride mini challenge (i.e. books finished in weeks 9 and 10).
◈ Books will either count towards the main part of the challenge (the Seven Deadly Sins) or towards this mini challenge.
◈ The same book can be read by more than one team member.
◈ You must read the book listed in the recommendation: series substitutions are not permitted.
◈ You will gain 7 points per recommended book read.

I've fallen a bit behind, so do we want to skip my 19 and I'll just start 22 so we can make sure to get them all in?? I don't want to hold up 3 possible completions for just that one.


message 976: by [deleted user] (new)

I can add a #24 instead so we have the same number of books/completions, just in a different order


message 977: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments If you have a 24, go ahead and take that. I'll find a short one to read tonight for 19 so we still complete all rungs.

Ok, I'm sorry about 19. I've started 22 and do have a 24.


message 979: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments No worries, I've had more time to read so am fine with it :) I'll start on 19 soon, then finish 20 & 21 later tonight.


message 980: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments Finished 19. Only have a couple chapters left of 20 so should finish that shortly, and only 1 hour left on audio for 21.


message 981: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments Done with 20.

Ash | 206 comments Just wanna say good job again to all of you plowing through books this week! You're amazing! <3


message 985: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm done with 22 but on my phone and am having trouble changing it to read on GR for some reason. I'll fix that tonight. I was able to update the SS though.


message 986: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (writers_soul) | 426 comments I have had a crazy week between the holidays and college (we don’t get time off for Thanksgiving) and then we had a family emergency last night we are still dealing with. I have a 103 page book I can get done. It doesn’t count for much but I can finish it today. Do we need it for our count?


message 987: by Vikki (new)

Vikki (silverstarz) | 1278 comments I’m only going through get 1 book read this week, will finish it tomorrow


message 988: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments I read a lot of extra books this week for the mini-challenge so we have plenty of books.

Cyndee I should be done with 23 in a couple hours.


message 989: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments Here is the Countdown Timer for the end of this round.

Please make sure to finish & post at least 30 minutes before deadline so Ashley & I have enough to check and post it to the main sheet!

Is there a Listopia for Vanity


message 991: by Cathy M. (new)

Cathy M. (mccathy77) | 5976 comments No Listopia but I did add a sheet to our planning sheet with most of the books linked. I'll finish the links later tonight.
