Just reported book #3. I have never read this many books in such a short time. It's been super fun. Thank you team aHarmony! :-)

Exactly!
I know we're winding down but we still have a full day and half left, I'm definitely going for another book (maybe two). Is anyone else still reading?
(But no, I'm not contemplating filling the categories again)
No more reading for me :) no more time on my end :)
As in I have too much to do the next few days :)
I'm still reading. I have one book to finish, and I'll probably read another short one after that.
I'll go until time runs out. Preferably finisging my final book in time
Just started book 6.... with any luck I might be able to sneak another one in before the time is up!
I am still reading my book, Lynn, but I started an audio book. I like to have one on my iPod to listen to in short times at work or driving or if I wake up and cannot sleep. I can set the timer and let it lull me back to dreamland. It is surprising how much I really hear. The book is called Homicide Trinity. It is #36 in the Nero Wolf series by Rex Stout. I guess it would apply as a series book or maybe for the hobby/craft thing. Nero Wolf's hobby is growing orchids. I am sure I can complete it in time and I am willing to stay up Friday night to listen until it is over. I am 40% done. I started it on Tuesday. It is 7 hrs long.
Yes, still reading, there is enough time I think for me to finish one more.
I just checked the book rules. I got the hobby thing wrong. I see that it is supposed to be some kind of craft for the hobby. So, either a series book or a murder mystery. A woman was murdered right in Nero Wolf's office. She was strangled with his own neck tie that he had left on his desk after lunch. Boy, was he upset when Archie called him after he discovered her!
Glad to see some reading still happening until the bitter end :)So to my regular morning update:
Books read - 60
Total Points - 680
Yea!!! Way to go team. I know we can squeeze out a couple more before time runs out.
Reading done! It's all listening now for me. I think I will start a new puzzle.
Got one more book in to make it five for the Toppler, yea!
Morning .... last few hours left. Update:
Books read - 71
Total Points - 790
I was trying for one more but not gonna make it. Turned out to bean excellent book and wish I'd read this months ago. The Didymus Contingency
Nice try Travis, not to worry though as you've contributed so much :)
I finished my last book last night. I don't have time to finish another one but I don't know what to do with myself without a book in my hand this morning. I guess it's kinda a Toppler hangover?
Toppler hangovers are very common. Some of us can't read a book for a few days. I go into tv/dvd mode for a day or two. And there are all the things on the How to Win a Toppler list that now need to get done :)
My toppler hangover will be missing all the chatting from my teammates.
So unless we get a last minute reporting, final scores for aHarmony are:Total Points - 820
Well done everyone!
Nice reading everyone. And thanks Lynn for the extra work of organizing
Good morning team. I didn't make it through the last audio book. I gave up around 4:30am and dragged myself to bed. Just woke up to report in. Thank you, Lynn for keeping track of all the books.
Wow! You are amazing readers!
I am happy that I finished one more than I thought I would. They were all good reads for me and two counted for my series challenge.

So shall we try for the muster date bonus points? I'm on the app so I can't link the thread :(
Is someone brave enough to put together our team's mystery date?I looked through the books I read, and my geek book has just a head.
So there was some last minute reporting: Final scores:
Books read - 76
Total Points - 840

Here's my mystery date. (How Santa's helpers really feel at Christmastime)
Ack, only just got in and it's too late to think about the bonus mystery date thing at the moment. Will look tomorrow.
I wanted to try one of the book spine poems using the books I read. With a little help from my team members, I think it turned out pretty good.Cinderella Geek
Moonlight Wish
The Giver
Glimmer of Hope
Love By Accident
Cobweb Bride
Hey Lanelle, your entry needs to go in the Mystery Date Bonus thread https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...Teams can enter as many times as possible, so post it in there and just put you're from aHarmony.
Is anyone else going to have a go?
To help you out, I'll list the possible covers you can use.
Head:
Eyes:
That's an eye right??Torso:
Legs:
I think we could get away with using these two? Feet:
Well that's annoying that we only have one for shoes!
Maybe we should do our entries upside down, starting with shoes?
Stephanie - It might be an idea to message a few of the group. A lot may think the toppler is over, it might be an idea to point out we have another task?
I just hsvent been on a computer. Pics are a bit small on my phone
We can always add
for a head shot (just for fun). No one said it had to be human.
Sorry all not sure when I'm going to get back here..we have possible frozen pipes in our apartment so waiting for emergency Maintenence to arrive :( so if someone wants to take over the messaging that would be great! Sorry, I just don't know when I will get back on here today is all.
I think each team can enter only three mystery date composites.

Lanelle wrote: "I think each team can enter only three mystery date composites."Ah ok, I missed that bit
Turns out the cold water pipe is frozen to the washing machine and possibly the dishwasher. We are supposed to get anywhere from 3-10 inches of snow here staring late this afternoon into tomorrow at some time:( I will believe the snow when it happens..they are always predicting lots of snow and then we don't get it but it is remaining to be quite cold..the complex Maintenence has put a heater near the wall where the pipes are to see if they will thaw..I'm not holding my breath..good thing we are planning on moving to a better build apartment complex in late April..I dropped off the hold check today :)
The mystery date entities are awesome by the way! Way to go team!!
I've lived in the southwest part of the United States almost my whole life, so I really can't imagine what you're going through, but it sounds miserable.Good luck getting those repairs done quickly.
