Do you see a page count for this anywhere? I looked on Amazon and it doesn't show there either.
How is everyone doing with your color covers? We only have 3 completed so far and want to make sure at least they are completed since they are worth the most points! We also have the mini-challenge coming up in the next couple days so we'll be busy looking for other books to fit those tasks. If you are unable to read them, please speak up sooner rather than later so someone can fill in. Here is what is still open (claimed but not yet completed):

Disreguard any of the above of mine that can't be used. I think they may have been completed after the challenge began. Sorry for my lack of presence lately. Since COVID-19 has hit, I have been super busy. Schools are closed not so I am off for a while, but all three of my kids are home doing class work so while I will get more time to read, I also have more work to do with them. I also have my own students to work with via internet and phone. Hopefully I can keep up a little better for the next few weeks at least.

So far so good! I've been working from home the last 2 days so my reading has gone down a bit since I'm not listening to any audiobooks. I usually listen on my commute and in the office while working but since the hubby is also working from home, have had the news or tv on instead. I'm still sort of in shock with it all - how quickly it escalated, the panic it has caused (I've gone to the store 5 times in the last week trying to buy simple things but every time can only find a handful of items I need/want for the week...damn hoarders). And I was supposed to go on vacation at the end of the month but that has been canceled so I'm a little bummed.Because of this crazy time, please just do what you can (re reading for this game). I know that you may have other issues in real life and we all understand. Just stop in periodically to say hi and to let us know you're ok :)

Wow, even though you're staying home, you have so much to do! Stay sane!
It looks like that on my screen too Cathy. We'll find something else! ;)
Life is definitely crazy at the moment with COVID-19. I've been working from home this week but I'm already going crazy, climbing the walls and hoping we can return to the office soon. Like for Cathy, my reading has definitely taken a hit due to not reading during the commute to work.
I might get some more reading/listening done over the next 6 days. I live on a small island and work in the radiology field at our local hospital. There are only two of us who work there so now there is only one of us there at each time. Work for a week and stay home the next.
Trying to lessen the chances of both of us being exposed or infected at the same time.
