I haven't read any of the romances you have banked so I wasn't sure if they would fit any of the open categories. Surely you have a millionnaire/billionaire as an MC in there somewhere, rig..."

None of the ones I have in the banked tabs can fill any of the empty spots :( lol

@Andrea is it okay if I moved your "published before you were born" because the book I just finished meets that?

[Celia]

Cristina, I deleted your "set in Canada" book because the one I just finished only fits that (same number of page points as yours). I hope this isn't a problem.

***BONUS POINT UPDATE***

This is a one day only bonus point opportunity. It will not be team based but individual (woohoo). Since it is my birthday tomorrow, I will be giving the following bonus points:

5 bonus points - Book features a birthday
10 bonus points - MC is turning 28 or is 28 years old.
15 bonus points - Book was published on 12/23
20 bonus points - Book was published on 12/23/1991

These bonus points will ONLY be available on 12/23. You can use your time zone or mine (EST) - just please let me know what time it is in your area when posting the book on your review thread.

It doesn't have to be a book that you started and finished on that day. It can be for any book that you have started/finished since the beginning of this challenge. However, it must be a book that you haven't used for any of the categories/tasks yet.

That being said, it doesn't mean that a book can't count for both a task AND bonus points. It totally can. I just need to see a book that hasn't been used within the challenge yet for that specific participant.

You can even post a book for just these bonus points - but only on the 23rd! After that, you can continue on reading for the categories/tasks until the challenge is over.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask!

[Dr. Andy]

Oooh that's so fun!

[Jennifer]

Andrea, thank you for posting for me!

We went up to our house in the mountains after Christmas, only to discover the power was out. No power = no heat, no wifi, etc. It has been a bit of an adventure. I can't tell you how nice it was to wake to the blessed noise of the heater!

I'm trying to hurry and post my books, just in case the power goes out again.

[Jennifer]

While I am at it -- Happy New Year everyone!!!

Oh man that sounds awful!!

[Alaina]

Okay guys, I'm going to be nice and give you all one giant ass new years eve present! So I'm sure you all either have some or a lot of books on your banked tab. I'm going to let you all post your books for ANY category. It doesn't matter if it's on your board or not.

I just feel like we should have zero books on the banked tab before it's 2020. You can even post multiple books for the same category. It doesn't matter to me.

Please post for people who can't - just guess and if you don't know you can say **PICK FOR ME ALAINA** and I totally will.

I'm exhausted and still at work - so crazy kids!
