I can't wait until when I go to college next year, for a number of reasons, but also because then I'll have access to that library and I can get a card for that county's public library and since I'll only be 30 minutes away from home I can still go to my current library

I've got that trilogy upstairs too -- just picked up book 3 last time I was working at the library shop. I received book 1 as a Christmas present a few years ago and have yet to start it.
Awesome job on getting all the slots filled in. I was planning to stop in and see if any of my books would fit. To join in on the conversation about library cards. I have one library card but have access to many different libraries I can use. Plus I also use Overdrive for e-books and audio books.

Is there a way to do Overdrive for other sources other than the Library? I'm trying my best for this next year to NOT spend too much $$$ on books...there's worse habits to have, but I'm going to try my best to get books in a free way! I've looked at several of the "book club subscription" methods with a monthly fee, but most seem very limiting (only one book per month, limited publishing houses they work with, etc). Is there another free source (other than libraries) that anyone knows of to get online ebooks?
Feel free to message me if you know of other library-like options!
Tara Jo - if you could add that book you just posted in the read books to your tower teams shelf that would be great :D

ALL-I'm going to update my profile to make it private...I've been getting tons of random friend requests lately for people I have NO CLUE who they are and not in any of the groups I'm in, so I want to make it private.
If you have any interest/need, feel free to friend me (or for the team caps if you need this to see my shelves). Thanks!

It's no problem, I've forgotten a couple times too
I have a new plan with my reading read one or two books for the library and then read two or three books I own. Maybe that will help me get to all or most of the books I own
Even though I just bought four new books lol
Hey there...just checking to see if anyone else is planning to participate in the
BOM discussion this month? I had planned to participate, and it would count towards our Fix Santa's Sleigh task. However, I'm looking over the books I've committed to for various challenges this month and not sure I can get it in comfortably. Or if I do it will be towards the end of the month, after the main read.
If anyone else is already planning to participate, would you be able to take over my assignment? If not, that's fine...I can make it happen. Just thought if anyone else was already going to do it, it would take a little pressure off me! Just let me know so we can change the list!
Thanks in advance!!!
Tara Jo, I'm both participating and writing questions so we're definitely represented in that discussion
Okay cool.....I may still be able to squeeze it in and I want to read it for sure!! But glad to know if I fall behind and don't get to it till January the we're still covered!Thanks Erin! And good for you for getting in there with the DQs!
I'm hoping to start Sabriel tonight if I can tear myself away from Croak xD
I am trying to get some reading done but this month is just doesn't like me :(
Hi Shilpa ;)Welcome to Lighting Crafters!
Thank you all!! :DLooking forward to having a great time with you guys!
Tara: good to see a known face here! :)
My shelf is : tower-teams-three Also I've listed my books and points since 8th Nov HERE! :)
What is going on with the Christmas quest? Who's reading what? :)

Hey Shilpa-
Here's the link for the last post we did of who's reading what:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
I'm not sure if there is a list of who's already read what or not (probably somewhere it's posted in the thread). I'll try to look later and see if I can find anything on the updated ones.
I know I've handled the GREEN as indicated with my name, but feel free if you have something to read that has my name by it to take it, and I'm sure everyone else would be okay too!
I think most people were trying to claim things in the Read thread as they finished a book if it fit somewhere, so jump right in girl! There's several people in our Tower Teams group that are also doing Hogwarts, so you'll see other familiar faces around as well!
..can this work for orange? Then I can do that for "Find more paint".Also I finished
on 6th. The female MC Wanda can be considered an inherently good girl..She helps the humans even going against her own kind and goes to the extent of sacrificing herself!Good enough?And
finished on 9th has a bad character called Count Olaf who is plotting against 3 children for 4 books now..Bad enough to suit the needs here? :P
Can you explain howFix the Chimney
Pegasus (Ari)
The Raven Ring (Ari)
Guitar Notes (Ari)
The Big sleep (Ari)
works for the criteria given?
The fix the chimney works by connecting the words to form a square....So if you write out:
The Raven Ring at the top of the square
Then down the left side from the T write out The Big Sleep
Then down the right side from the G write out Guitar Notes
Then across the bottom connect the P and S by filling in Pegasus.
Make sense? I can't figure out how to "draw it" here! Hopefully you get the visual there!
Sounds like those other items you listed above wood work out!
Erin, do you have an updated list of where we stand on the task? I can try to look at it later today if I have some time to see where we are on everything and what we still needed.
I was just about to compile a list of what we still need. I'm going to go through and update the spreadsheet with the new read books posted and then I'll come back here and let y'all know what we are still missing
Erin wrote: "I was just about to compile a list of what we still need. I'm going to go through and update the spreadsheet with the new read books posted and then I'll come back here and let y'all know what we a..."Awesome! Thanks, lady!
Shilpa awesome on listing the books read since Nov 8th. Glad to see you know someone on the team. Tara is a great recruiter for a lot of groups!
Christmas Quest ProgressWhat we still need to fill:
2 books with directional words in the title
GREEN and PURPLE book covers
all 4 bad/good books - either in the title or about a bad/good girl or boy
The last fix the chimney book which I believe Ari should be reading
1 book between 100-125 pages
I know most of those people had said earlier they could cover, I do have that written down on the progress report thing but in the end it doesn't matter who ends up covering them
My book of
should have covered the green....Do we think
had enough purple? I forget who was reading that one. I've got one bad book for sure
and sounds like Shilpa's 2 books could be used (one for good, one for bad) from her post #377 above. That leaves 1 more good/bad and 1 short book. I probably could look back on what I read so far and at least one could hit the good/bad if needed. Not sure what we originally had planned for the 4 and if they are all still on target.
Thoughts?

You're totally right that will work for green. Sorry I must have missed it when I was updating everything.
I don't think it has enough purple but I will check with the head honchos.
Also thanks for pointing out her post I had missed that too....it's hard to see stuff when I'm working with my computer screen split between two windows.
Okay so now we need 2 directional books, a purple cover (I'll still check on Maplecroft), 2 good/bad books, and 1 short book
Oh yeah...forgot I still have
for directional (NORTH). And the book I'm currently reading
can be directional (IN). I don't read many short books since they don't count for some of my challenges, but perhaps someone else has one they can/have read??
is about a good girl. I finished it yesterday. Will that work? The girl is 16.
Sandy wrote: " is about a good girl. I finished it yesterday. Will that work?"Sure sounds like it! Sounds like the MC is one who strives for peace and wants harmony and will do what she can to keep that for her family/community! Sounds like a Good Girl to me!
Both of those are good for directional and I just added Sandy's for good/bad
For the good/bad girl/boy what exactly does it have to be?

Check the List
[
Someone has tampered with Santa's list. This is terrible. Good boys are now bad boys, bad girls are now good girls and don't even look at Susan. Repair the list to it's former glory to ensure everyone their just rewards.
Read 4 books where the title contains the words good, bad or similar words or where the main character is a bad boy/girl or a good boy/girl. Earn 50 Golden Points when complete. (hide spoiler)]
