I meant already finished pages.

We need Diane's book as we all need to read for it.

I'm halfway done with my book. But I read it got fun so no problem if we don't need it.

Technically again, Diane could use a skip for this one since none of us have used our skip. I'm not saying that we should do that, just stating our options.

[Diane]

Am gonna be slow on this one, so if we are good to go use that skip!! Happy to not hold you back

[Diane]

Do I need to o something??

[DeeNeez]

So my third book is not needed? That’s OK, I can still use it for Clue 😉

[Helke]

Diane wrote: "Do I need to o something??"

I think you need to post that you use a skip.

[Gustaf]

Diane wrote: "Do I need to o something??"

Yes please, just post that you are skipping

[Diane]

I am skipping this round!

[Diane]

[DeeNeez]

[Diane]

I got the one for Gustaf's message, but not yours.

[Gustaf]

I’m getting them *knocking on woods* I need them for the MCA’s starting up on Saturday

Here is your next task!

Task 18 - 112. Each teammate picks two books for the other teammates from their regular (not special) to-read shelf that has been there over a year and the teammate picks one of those books to read. No pass for this task.

Each of you will select two books from your other teammates ’to-read’ shelves that have been there over a year. (If no books over a year on their ‘to-read’ shelf, then select from the 20 oldest books on their shelf. But how is it possible to not have books that have lingered over a year?!) Each teammate will pick one of the books selected from their shelf and read that book. So each teammate will have to read one book from the six picked options.

[Gustaf]

Wow this task had me all confused but I think I get it now.

[Gustaf]

My Picks:

Helke:
Forget Me Not
Have Mercy

Dee:
Bitten by Mistake
Taming Teddy

Diane:
My Ghost Roommate - Who Helps Me Get The Guy
Truth Will Out

Maybe you should pm her too

[Gustaf]

On it. I’m really busy with all the nominations right now I’m just happy I managed to read my book lol.

I’m sad that we only have a couple of days left of this challenge though.

Book: Truth Will Out
by: KC Wells
Pages: 220 pages -- Kindle ed/GR
How qualifies: Recommended by Gustaf
Finished: Oct 6
Rating: 4 stars -- quite fun, but I was amazed at the fact that KC Wells wrote a book without a sex scene -- very odd.
