I had a feeling that was going to happen! And I swear I added it up several times and got over 500 pages. Luckily, I made a list of other books that worked, just in case. I'll repost.

Please do a new post. Record keeping becomes difficult to manage and confusing if we have to go backwards in the completed tasks thread. Thanks! ;-)

Kristi - it's a private group that is on Goodreads even though it meets offline. I don't know if you'll be able to access this link to our currently-reading shelf, but here it goes:

Sorry about that--I've been having massive computer problems and missed the Dragon Actually thing. I'm not on my own computer and don't have access to my spread sheet right now, so I'll have to get back to you about 30.8 I'm sure it was finished, but post might have not gone through. I'll check and repost.

Oops, I got my "destiny" books mixed up. I got that one verified and will re-post.
I missed the first letter part of the instructions in the anagram task but I found another book in my library that will work to spell "LOST" (gotta love calibre for sorting and searching!). "Only When the Loon Sings" will work - I just have to read it this weekend.
Hmmm, now to see if I can find a task where the commando cowboys will fit. :)
Norma - post 2025Task 25.10 - 10th Anniversary will not work for Tigger since the genre "romance" shows up on its main page. (It'll work for 15.5, though, so maybe you can rearrange some books and repost?)
