Hi everyone, I started this page so we could start talking
Thanks for setting up the thread Tasha. We're at a disadvantage, starting at the last minute with no opportunity for pre-planning. I hope someone's good at organization! Do we have anyone who wants to be captain? I don't think I'd be good at it (ok, I know I wouldn't) . And I'm not a spreadsheet person. My only contributions will be reading and chatting. :)Name possibilities:
We Plead the Fifth
I'll Have a Fifth of Vodka with That Book
How about We 5 to Count On?Or 5 Left to Count
Or 5 Added at Last Count

Do we have anyone who wants..."I don't think this toppler required a lot of pre-planning. Hopefully you started gophering as soon as you indicated you wanted to join the toppler. That way, all you have to do is slot them in. Actually, I would recommend that you fill in the numbers as people complete books rather than pre-assign them.
I can do the spreadsheet if everyone wants
Hey guys, Sorry getting in here late. Technology hasn't been my best friend today. That sounds great, Tasha!

Thanks Tasha! I like 5 legged race! About to go find a book!
I reported my first book.Tasha - when I click on the spreadsheet link it wants me to sign in. I don't want to enter any info - I just wanted to see it.

That was fast, j'mom!
Congratulations on the first book. I will look at the spreadsheet
hi there team! I like 5 legged race too. I've just binge read my first book. off to report πThanks for organising us Tasha!
It's 1.46am here in Scotland. Best get some sleep I think. Good night everyone π
I'm about 20% into my second book. Took a nice long nap and after I eat I'll be back to reading. Hope everyone's enjoying their books!
Hey it is 145 am here I am just going to get some sleep
5 legged race it is. I will switch our name
I reported my second book. Now to decide what to read next.
Wow, you guys are doing good. I spent a major part of the day spring cleaning my room for an upcoming festival. Sigh.
I didnt read much today, I was visiting friends to celebrate a birthday. Am on the overnight ferry tomorrow then travelling all day Tuesday, so should have my nose in a book for a good while then.

I reported my third book. While out running errands earlier I got a bottle of port so I can do a little tippling while topplering this evening.
Fun I am stuck at work today. So havenβt had a chance to read a lot. Happy Thanksgiving everyone
Happy thanksgiving! Happy tipple topplering!
I've finished my second book. Got a whisky from the ship's bar as a reward.
Will probably send me to sleep... Lol.
Just leaving the Orkney islands heading south.
I wish I had thought of it earlier but I downloaded two audible books for the toppler. The Fifth Season
and
that I can listen on break and to and from work. Two more midnight shifts left then I will be able to read more
I have a couple books read. Just haven't had time to report. Doing that now.
Reported books four and five. I'm 70% through another book, but I keep setting it aside. Since I've made it this far I'll probably read it in bits and finish it.
Reported books six through nine. Hopefully I'll get one more read.
Hi Annerlee - I stole one of your books off your posting. I am so glad I did! I am really loving One Word Kill
1 more number for round 2 ββ- #9

Just reported my 2 other books. I have that #9 for you!I'm travelling and visiting all this week, but I'm hoping to finish another short book today. Currently in London for the weekend.
Just posted 2 more, but that is it for me. I have to go to synagogue and will be there til the challenge times out. Blame baseball for me not finishing the one I am in the middle of now. Wish the Stros had at least won last night to justify my lack of reading!
I reported my last book. I ended up staying up all night reading, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to crash for most of the day. :)
Well done toppler team! We all seemed to be quietly reading away this week to get a good result. I think we did really well, despite setting off at a bit of a disadvantage with a reduced 5-legged team.I managed to read 4 this week (fit in around travelling and visiting) which I'm pretty happy about.
Wow, everyone did such a great job. I couldn't finish my third book. House hunting and a major festival coming up didn't help.
I think we did a great job. Thank team
I agree that we did a great job!I was looking and I forgot to report a book. Going to do it now.
