I hope you all are doing well. Sorry about Monday - a bit of a vision problem. So I will just post next Monday and the point leader will be asked to develop the 50-point question.

What'd you think of Knife???
1.5: The Secret Garden (368 pgs); There were 42 comments on this discussion when I checked it today. And I also participated in the discussion.1.20: Postcards from No Man's Land (336 pgs); I picked this book for this task because April rated it a 5 & I trust her judgment with books. Also, it's been sitting on my TBR for quite some time. April rated it 5 stars and I would rate it with 4 stars. I liked the idea of the book and would like to read it again if I find time, but it's not a book that I will definitely re-read soon. I enjoyed Gertruii's point of view the most.
3.15: The Realm of Possibility (224 pgs)
4.20: Twisted (256 pgs) and Audrey, Wait! (313 pgs)
4.25: (a)How to Ruin a Summer Vacation (234 pgs); (b) Lock and Key (432 pgs); (c) Beastly (320 pgs)

I was going to use this one for the task about writers/ storytellers, but it also had several African and Jewish words in the text, so I chose to go that route. Either way, it was a pretty good story about a part of the world I know little about.

Lydia, are you going to update us? I think I made it to 240 points first for the 50 point challenge, but I don't want to put something together if it wasn't me!

I could read my books in a different order so it would make the "tasks completed" easier, but why make anything easier ;)

And we thank you Lydia for everything you do!!! Mostly if you you are having medical or vision problems, but still kept up with this, that is a true warrior!! :)

Yes of course we miss you Lydia!!! Is this total from last week? I'm a little confused because I have 245 points. Just checking.

Diana, you are totally correct! I re-read the rules. I need a corrected posting for Roseann, since the three of you are in the top.
Hurray! I am super excited to do the 50 pointer... Should I post it to tasks or message it to you, Lydia?Glad you're back, by the way! Sorry about the vision problem, what a drag. Anything we can do to help lighten your load??

I have been wondering where you've been. Hope you're feeling better!
3.20 Ella Enchanted (240 pages) person's name to go with Thames Doesn't Rhyme with James for the placeTotal Points: 260

25/29 books
I'm having the same problem as Jennifer W. I see people responding that they are glad to hear that Angela will be writing the new task, and that they're glad you're feeling well enough to update the points, but I didn't see either kind of post from you, Lydia. Am I missing something? Was it in another thread?
No, I deleted the list because I need Roseann's tasks. She is sending to me and I will be printing the new list momentarily.Still communicating with Roseann, who is in school. So, as soon as I have the correct numbers for the list I will post it.
AngelaSunshine, please understand I need to get the completely corrected list before I can award the 50 point task. I'm so sorry, but the board became a bit confusing, which is why we ask that it be limited to the listing of tasks and not discussions of the books. Please forgive me.
No problem, we will wait for an official announcement!
Again, I am sorry about the confusion. You all are so nice to just enjoy the fun of the challenge.Well, the friendly competition has ended. LOL
