[Laura]

June and Teddie are you going to finish your books before the end of the challenge?

I added a book to the spreadsheet that I will finish either tonight or tomorrow.


also added Apoorv's books to the spreadsheet

[Laura]

Great job as Captain Beth!! It sure was fun playing with everyone!!

[Laura]

Beth , if you like I can claim the rest of our challenge points?

[Tawallah]

I'm about to update my books. I finished Forager over the weekend but was busy. And I'll see if I can help plug in other books I read yesterday to complete any hands.

So sorry that this challenge is soon up. I enjoyed being in this group.

[Apoorv]

Wow ! Cant believe its already the end of April.. and thereby the end of the challenge. I started up with being more active here with a lot of chit-chat but then real life intervened, work took precedence and couldnt get around to share a lot of interesting conversations with you guys. (But I have read through all the comments here as we moved along, just so that I dont lose touch of my team).

.. and what a team it has been !
Beth, this was your first time as a captain, but boy, were you good ! Thank you for being the Ace of this pack of cards !
Hope to see more pictures of your ever-growing stack of books ! :)

Laura, I can never forget the way you were (are?) hooked up on the Stephanie Plum Series.. you made me add all those books on my Kindle ready to go.. and I sure am ! You have been a great support to Beth and I am sure we all appreciate it.

June, Teddie, Kirsten, Alexa.. I didnt really get to interact with you guys much but this amazing journey (and I bet we have done awesome in terms of the score.. need to go snooping around :P) wouldnt have been anyway complete without you guys ! :)
Alexa, may you have an outstanding married life ! :)

Its really been a pleasure, in my own small little way !
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for making me a part of the team and working through my missed updates and low interactions !
I hope we cross path again in some challenge and I promise to be more active then.

P.S. I will most probably finish one book before we end tomorrow.

[Apoorv]

Beth, I see we need a Yellow cover for the Easter Egg Hunt.
I dunno how far along you are with your book, but as a back-up that I read (06Apr2015) is a Yellow cover.

I kinda sneak peek at the scores once in March and we were doing great.

Apoorv, we read the same book and both enjoyed it. Hope to see you sround. I know you are also in NRBC and in the team tower recently.

June, wasnt Wonder truly wonderful ?
I just adored the book. That was one heck of a week for me.. I read Eleanor & Park, The Help and Wonder back-to-back.. and I was all smiles that week ! :)

I am in NBRC and each time a challenge there makes me push the envelope to the extreme. But I love those challenges indeed. Wheel-a-Thon is awesome and I so looking forward to this year's Tower Teams Challenge. Hope we land up in the same team ! :)

haha, its Beth and Teddie's fault I am hooked on the Plum series.( thank you ladies:) I have one more and I am caught up.

Laura wrote: "Beth , if you like I can claim the rest of our challenge points?"

I figured you were working and reading Beth, so I claimed the remaining points from the first two challenges.

Yeah June!! Way to go for filling in those empty spots!! Teddie finishes her book and we can claim that last hand( I know Beth is working on hers)

We did awesome working together team!!! Hope to see you all around in Karen's next challenge!

[Apoorv]

I hope its not late, but if so we might wanna cash in on these 225 points for the Scavenger Hunt !

I put together a quick Excel sheet with the books that I read this month which have the words we are looking for. Let me know if you have any problems in seeing it.

[Apoorv]

Apparently, thats the max GoodReads can resolute their images.
Does anyone have a way ? Beth/Laura, do you want me to send it to you in any other form ?

[Teddie]

Done with Vision in Silver! Laura would you please update the sheet for me - seem to be having an issue on the ipad. I may even be able to sneak one more in tomorrow as I'm travelling all day.

So good getting to "know" all of you - had such a good time with this challenge! I look forward to see you all around Goodreads :)

[Teddie]

Vision in Silver has coffee, tea, apple and carrot for the hunt.

I really enjoyed Wonder. I have The Help on my TBR. Glad you had some good reads that week.

[Beth]

I finished my yellow book. I will put it in the spreadsheet when I get home

[Apoorv]

[Laura]

Just finished the inn at Rose Harbour

[Laura]

Thanks for all the fun everyone! Hope to see you all around again.

[Alexa]

I can finish off the last 2 cards! I read Dragonfly in Amber and Anna and the French Kiss, both of which are set in France, and finished both today.

[Alexa]

Also, it was great participating with you guys. I had a great time and you all were awesome! Thank you for all the well wishes and hopefully I'll see you around Goodreads or in another challenge.

[Beth]

I would like to thank all of you for being so awesome and patient with me. This was my first captains role and I had so much fun! I am glad that we were all in the same group and that I got to know you guys more. I hope to see you around! If you haven't friended me yet, feel free to do so. And the next round, if you're planning on playing and want to sign up to be in the same group, just PM and I will let them know!

I had a lot of fun reading with you guys and can't wait for the next round.

[Beth]

Can you add them to your read shelf, Alexa?

[Beth]

Tonight I'm finishing my last book and will be making sure that the total numbers for everything is correct!

[Kirsten]

I finished The Hobbit at 11:01 last night. Can we still add it to the list?

[Laura]

Beth, guess what?? I finally was able to make a book sale at my library!! Wahoo, I found some great finds!
