Please post your score if you've finished your books. Don't worry, I have some ideas about people whose partners didn't finish. I will share those before I award badges.

Blood baths? LOL!

Base the cover on the edition you read which is the omnibus. Either way, both editions you linked have the title and author's name in a different colour. So - 14 points.

That omnibus edition has great lips on it if someone is needing that for the lips task in the Twisted Trivia.

[Fiona]

Sorry guys, my computer is not doing the things I want. I will report as soon as I have it fixed or Someone lends me theirs!

[Janice, Moderator]

Thanks for letting me know, Fiona. I'll hold off until you've had a chance to report.

Badges are posted!

Top Score - Annerlee & Jenn with 43 points
Gluestick Award - Lucy & Saar with 13 points

There were a few people whose partners didn't read their books. Whatever book those people selected when they signed up was used for scoring so that their partners weren't penalized.

Please let me know if I've missed anyone.

[Jenn]

Way to go Annerlee!!!

[Lucy]

Haha, December was one of the most disorganized, hectic months I've had in a long time, so winning the gluestick really sums up the end of the year for me. 😂

[Janice, Moderator]

It's a coveted prize, Lucy. :)
