LOL! Nope, this one took a little digging for me. I wanted to make sure to find a book I could use for a few other challenges!

I’m done! Give me just a few minutes to do my updates.

Sweet!!

I'm hoping that I can find one that works for this and PtP as soon as the PtP theme call goes up this afternoon. That should be up SOON!

This one is for my baseball challenge :)

I'm failing miserably at that challenge. 😂

[[[ Frankie ]]]

I’m failing Baseball, too. LOL.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

We’re getting some pretty easy tasks for this challenge so far! I know that probably won’t last long, though.😂

I feel like you read my mind. I almost said the same thing but I'd be the one to jinx us. LOL!

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Oh, I already know I probably jinxed us. LOL. (Sorry!) 😂

[[deleted user]]

9 pages. My book for PtP is 9 PAGES too short to use here. Off to find (and start) an alternative. *sigh*

[bamaace83]

My baseball hasn't been the best run. I find books but some of them are definitely not worth tons of points. I haven't picked my book for Sunday though so this will help me find a book that works for both. :)

[bamaace83]

Ohh, I forgot about I have to finish this book for a different challenge before I can even start a baseball book. It's a stand-alone. :) The Black Hour

[[deleted user]]

We haven't had any issues with this, but I still want to share any of MK's announcements with you all. 😁

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!

I have been very easy going with completion posts, but beginning SUNDAY, that will change. If I ask for ask for a correction - correct page count, missing completion element, marked selection rather than completion or ??, I will be waiting for the correction prior to assigning the next task!!

So teammates, double check each other's Completion Posts and make sure they are complete and accurate!

Hey Anna, even if you read the paperback edition, for the page numbers we're supposed to use the Kindle Edition on this challenge. The kindle edition for that one is 330 pages. Will you please update your completion?

[bamaace83]

Oops, I need a serious big chalk board to keep all this straight. I'll go update it right now. Thanks for keeping me in line.

I updated my tracking post and deleted all the older ones. Since Kat is keeping track of our start/completion dates with each task I don't think I need to hold on to any of the older completed info. :P

Yay, I hope we get a good task this week. I'm working clinic today but have more downtime so I'm hoping to be able to sit here and fix some challenges.

Are we sticking with the Modern Fairytale Series still? If so, I'll be reading Dark Sexy Knight

Yep! I'm going to read Never Let You Go

[bamaace83]

Sounds good. I'm going with the first one. The Vixen and the Vet

It's starts a little slow but gets much better, so if it's not grabbing you at first, keep going! 😂

I agree...I really liked it.

[bamaace83]

Sounds good. I'm listening to it on audible so hopefully that will be good.

I’m going with this one, too. :]

Cyndee wrote: "Leslie wrote: "Are we sticking with the Modern Fairytale Series still? If so, I'll be reading Dark Sexy Knight"

I have this one in my Kindle stash too. Looking forward to hearing what you think.

I went ahead and paid the 99 cents and got the kindle version. I was listening to it on audible but it's taking me longer than I would like so I should be able to knock this book out today hopefully. I didn't get to read/listen like I normally do this week and it has me all thrown off.

I'm hurrying girls! I've got mine started, and luckily it's been good right from the very beginning so I'm more motivated to keep it going. :)

[[[ Frankie ]]]

No need to hurry, Cyndee, because I’ve been really slow myself. Trying to recover. It’s gonna be a few days before I finish mine. Just an FYI.

[[[ Frankie ]]]

Sorry, 😕

Fortunately, I have 4,000 other challenges, so not to worry :) Just feel better soon.
