@Leslie, I can't count Under the Whispering Door or Libertie as BR points because you only posted once on each and not really about the book

We try to post updates each Sunday of this challenge for teams and solo participants. It might not be Sunday yet in some parts of the world but this is for consistency purposes.
TEAMS:
The Abominable Abdominals: 121

Happy Week 5? of Winter Wars
Don't be alarmed if you see some differences between the team spreadsheets and what is listed here—there are a couple of BRs that were not counted due to a lack of participation.
Keep reading, we're over halfway there! If you're feeling slumpy (understandable since these games are A LOT), the December Readathon will be held December 11-17—hopefully right after finals for those of you in school and right before the holidays.
Happy Winter Wars

Those are hummingbirds? I thought they were bees! I can't really tell because they are super pixelated when I blew them up on my screen, but I'm happy to count them as birds since you have the cover! Just let me know <3

Duh, I hate to put it on who 3 since we have 6, but it doesn't fit another and I wanted to read it D:
How are your books, team? I hope to finish at least 3 more during the Readathon :)
Sadly not made much progress reading this month, just not felt like it. Other then fanfiction, busy times but might get a few in second half month. Got some traveling as long as all goes to plan and always enjoy reading during journey, so hopefully get some done 😊

@Bopeep - I was able to take care of Where 1 yesterday, and I am working now on How 5. I also have a couple of books lined up for What 5 and When 5 that I plan to get to next. (When 5 will be started tomorrow and I expect will be finished fairly quickly). If I have the time I will also work on Why 2, but I've been hemming and hawing on which book as many of my history books I have are really long books (i.e., over 400 pages) and I'd like to find a shorter one.
@BoPeep - I am reading Far From the Madding Crowd which works for when 5. I know I had started books for where 1 and why 2 but will probably put those aside for another time. Sorry about that. I will work on my reviews for the books I read this week and post today. Still working on the two group reads.
