Ladies do you think we should be checking in? I know we are waiting for Christene but I think those of us completed should be checked in. I would be happy to take care of doing it for us.
Lori, if we are due to check in, then I think you are right
I guess we have until a little later. If we haven't heard from Christine by late this evening...I tend to go to bed in the early hours...I will check us in.
I went ahead and checked us in. Hopefully it will count.

Thanks for checking us in Michelle. I just came online to do it.
I haven't checked us in yet. I was waiting to see if Christene completes a task this week. I'll be home tomorrow so I can check us in tomorrow evening.I hope everything is ok with Christene.

I have already spoken to this person. She has read a book this week that works for this week's task. I will have her make a Completion Post, and you can include it with your team Completion Post.
Ok, I will check back later to send our full completion post over.
I'm going to go ahead and post our completion post. The internet is being funky due to the weather we are currently experiencing in my neck of the woods. I don't want to wait and then not be able to post it. I'm not sure who our new team mate is, but if you do post, I will add it tomorrow and will let Lanelle know what I did.
Hi everyone!I'm Priya and I'm very excited to join you all on this journey.
I'll post my completion post below.

You received the Snake Bite Calamity Card.
Hopefully you have the Supply Card that blocks this Calamity.
If you don't have the Supply Card, one team member will need to read the task to counteract the Calamity. You will miss out on the 70 miles that that team member's book would add to the total mileage for that Week.
A different team member can read two (2) books during the Week to make up the 70 miles that the person reading for the Supply Card will not accomplish. The two books must both meet the criteria for traveling the 70 miles.
- OR -
Two or more team members can 'buddy read' a book. The book must meet the criteria for traveling or the Supply Card for the Calamity. The one (1) book will counteract the Calamity and travel the necessary 70 miles.
Rules
You can't begin reading your book until Monday morning, 12:01 a.m. your time.
You must finish and report your book by Sunday night 11:59 p.m. your time.
Books must be 140 pages or more.
Audio books must be at least 3 hours long.
Graphic Novels must be at least 200 pages.
It looks like we have the medicine card to take care of the snake bite, so we are good to go.
