I have 5 hours left on my last book, but I'm sure I'll get it done. I do have to work tomorrow, but the project I'm working on right now is designing our financial statement templates. I have my data identified and just have to set up the coding and formatting in the morning, so I can listen to an audiobook at the same time. Fun, huh?

I'll update the spreadsheet before I leave the house and again when I get home in the evening. Goodreads is blocked at work, but I do check progress on my iPhone. This has been a good team!

[Theresa~OctoberLace]

Carolyn, don't forget to post your finishes in the reporting thread. Can you tell us the author of the book Memories that you read? I'm having trouble trying to link that for the spreadsheet. I

I'm still waiting for confirmation of Carolyn's Memories book so I can add that to the total.

Just checking in to say I've only got about 75 pages left of Perla. That'll finish off the last bonus section! I'll be back soon :(

[jaxnsmom]

Finished Perla! Now I'm off to bed with a book I set aside before the Toppler.

Really? I don't think most of the people in my office even know what Goodreads is... Not so popular in Switzerland.

I am half way through Mostly Harmless. I should be able to finish it before the end of the toppler.

I just finished A Small Indiscretion. Since I'll be going to work and won't have time to read another, this is my final book for this Toppler. I'll now pick up where I left off on The Captive by Marcel Proust, book 5 of 7 in his masterpiece "In Search of Lost Time."

I'll update the spreadsheet again when I get home this evening. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Happy Valentine's Day! I found my teddy bear Mr. Right, and we just celebrated our 43rd anniversary two days ago. I hope you've all found your own Mr. Right or will do so soon!

[Debra]

I can't believe I finished a 4th book. It's just that the last 2 books I read were such fast reads! Will go report A Fistful of Collars now.

[Debra]

Congrats Theresa on 43 years with your Mr. Right! I've been with mine a little over 6 years.

[Pragya]

Congrats, Theresa. That's a long time! It's my parents' wedding anniversary today. :D

Book covers to make our mystery date. These are the ones we used for the tasks. We can also use other books we read to create our date.

Can someone double-check that I've not missed anyone. I am waiting for Carolyn to let us know which book she read for legs. She said Memories, but though I found several books with that title, none featured legs on the cover. J'mom, I asked that she post the author's name, but can you make a call on what to do for that one?

Edit to add: spreadsheet updated with Carolyn's finish.

[jaxnsmom]

I went to her shelves and found this , there's no date read entered, but it is on her read shelf, and I remember she said something about a chair.. It looks like this could be it. Let's go with it.

[Theresa~OctoberLace]

J'mom, I updated message 264 with Carolyn's finish. For the extra bonus, my last book, A Small Indiscretion also works for a head:

What do you think of this -

Frankenstein's Date

[Debra]

I like it J-Mom. I will try to look at the books we read today and see if I come up with anything else, but I really like yours!

[Theresa~OctoberLace]

J'mom, your Frankenstein's Date looks good to me!

[Wanda]

It looks great to me!

[Debra]

I haven't come up with anything better! Let's go with yours J-Mom!

[Beth]

I agree

[Rebecca]

I like it, too.

[Carolyn]

Sorry I've not been well. The book jaxnsmom found was the right one
