Thank you, Colleen. Seems an interesting read. :)
Yes. Each mini task completed bring 10 points/book. :)
And if we read all 40 books -which we totally will- we'll get 30 bonus points. +30 bonus points for reading the actual book Misery. It's enough if one of us does that.
Melinda - I also really appreciate you listing out some of the potential tie-ins with the mini read. I'm totally not creative and can't come up with stuff like that. :)

Misery finished. 4* this time around I found it extremely disturbing. I couldn't stop reading but at the same time, the idea of poor Pauline being in that woman's care was a bit too much.

just the usual update before the last February week starts to see where we are.
In order to complete all our hands, we need to finish 26 books by the end of the month (will post the countdown next week), including 21 to complete the Mini challenge as well.
Everyone has been awesome, so I don't think it will be a problem.
We actually covered all the Reverse and 7 cards, there are a few left of the others.
We need another colour cover book for the last WD4.
