[Heather]

Ah! I'm so sad! Finals hit right at the end of this challenge, so I doubt I will be finishing my 20 page paper AND the last 700 pages of Forever Amber to collect my bonus points. But it was still tons of fun! The idea was really great and I hope to do this one again!

I did not do so well this time because I picked some longer books to read first, but they were books that I really wanted to read and I enjoyed all of them. So I guess I did all right! See y'all next month :-)

[LemonLinda]

Great challenge! Enjoyed it a lot!

[Becky, Moddess]

Glad you liked it. :) I'll update the final scores tonight when I get home.

[LemonLinda]

Just wondering what the final scores were.

[Becky, Moddess]

Yes... I'm sorry... I'm still working on updating them. I should have them finished and posted tonight!

Sorry. :(

Kathy, Post 208 = The Good Thief is in the #11 spot, not #12. Post 61 (before the changes?)

Nancy post 212 = Miscounted should be 20

Leslie Post 215 = Lady of Hay is not on your list, and the 17 spot was counted already for "A Regimental Murder".
Post 232 = Shattered Dreams Total is 22 not 21.
Post 246 = Castles not on list for the 16 spot, and your #16 was posted in #266. Were you using an incorrect list?
Also in Post 266, Highlander Unmasked is 28 not 27

Diane = Bonus tasks should have page, HF and review points counted, total adjusted.

Thanks for your patience while I recorded the points... It's a lot to go through! LOL :)

Great challenge all, and congrats to Maude who actually managed to finish all 22 books. O_O

[Jackie]

Damn! Go Maude!!!

Congratulations to ALL the participants! :)

[~Leslie~]

Wow, thanks Becky for all your corrections and hard work. I must have been using an old list - not sure what happened :={ But it was a great challenge.

Congratulations to all the finishers!

[JoLene, Mistress of the Challenge]

Congrats Maude!!! I hit my record of 12 books in a month and I read 5 graphic novels which only take a day or two to read. I can't believe that you did all 22. Quite an accomplishment.

Thanks for another great challenge and great job to everyone for clearing off those shelves :-D

No problem, Leslie! :)

[Becky, Moddess]

Thanks to everyone who participated. I think we might do more of these. It's nice to knock some stuff off my TBR. Not that I got all that much read! *sigh*

[LemonLinda]

Wow, Maude. Congrats on getting through all 22 on your list. What a great month of reading for you!

It was a fun challenge - I like reading the reviews as people post the books.

[Becky, Moddess]

You came pretty close Linda! You read 17, which is almost double what I managed!

[Nancy from NJ]

Thanks Becky and congrats Maude. I found I couldn't do this all month. It was making me a bit crazy and not sure if I'll do anything this month but still I enjoy these,

[Holly]

Congratulations, Maude (and Linda for second place). Thank you so much, Becky.I enjoyed all of the reviews you all posted.

[Maude]

THANK YOU for your comments! This is the first time I was here after finishing and really appreciate all your nice comments. These were books I had kept after closing my bookstore and had never read. This was the perfect time to read them since they fit so well with this particular challenge and the majority were very good reads. A couple of duds were in there, also!

[Diane S ☔]

That was a super effort Maude! Everyone's reviews have me dding more things to my TBR list but I do love reading them,

[SplkdancerReviews]

Thanks so much for setting this challenge. Unfortunately April exploded on me and I did not finish any of the books on my list :( although I did finally start several, which I am hoping to finish in May.

[Becky, Moddess]

No problem, Sara... There's always another one coming. ;)
