I drank 3 10 oz cups of tea today (1 point?), and read another 25% of Tomato Rhapsody: A Novel of Love, Lust, and Forbidden Fruit, but I feel so out of step! Does that count for anything? I'm thinking no, but ....

You're on a roll Almeta!
But oh no, I see your next planned blue book, Lost In a Good Book, is 399 pages. Maybe the cover, copyright, intro, and dedication pages could count as one page. Especially after The Gates :~)
I have not been going back to see if people are editing their score cards. That's too much like work. Please copy your score cards into a new message and then I'll be assured that I have the latest greatest.

Phew! Good thing you mentioned something jaxnsmom, or we'd be short on points.
Janice wrote: "Phew! Good thing you mentioned something jaxnsmom, or we'd be short on points."Anything to help maintain our lead! :D
I think copying into a new message and deleting old works better - easier for you, and edits keep old date, so hard to tell who's doing what.
Just be sure the old copied correctly into new before deleting!! I almost lost part of mine (screwy computer didn't hilite the whole thing - it wasn't me!) :)

Thursday's progressI did finish another book (The Little Prince), but it might be too short to qualify. Please let me know if I should remove it from my points.
Also, my trilogy books are still 'in transit' at the library so I guess no trilogy for this toppler. :(

Sorry to kibash that extra 5 points, but the scoring rule is double points for each additional completion of a goal. It doesn't say anything about tripling for a third book. It says, "Each additional book..."
Still - I missed those points, so thanks for drawing attention to it.
Phew - just finished totalling to this point and we have 646 points!This is a marker for my totalling. Please post updates to your score cards afresh. DO NOT EDIT ANY PREVIOUS MESSAGES!

Oops, better tell the Topplers, I got it from Maria's score :) Yay -that's 15 points off her current score (looks like we need every advantage we can get right now). What about Enchiladas? 10 points for each, or does that double?
I've got a message in to Judy to clarify the points on the third book and will left her know to check her group.10 points for each enchilada.
I copied Maria, too. Didn't even think about it. I fixed my earlier post and deducted 5 points.

I got a message from Judy and she said she allowed Maria the extra 5 points, so Pragya and Debra get their 5 points back. Lara also gets an additional 5 for her book. If someone reads 3 books in a category, they will get 15 points.

Janice and Judy, at what time do we stop today? I live in Chicago, so thought it was 9am. I did finish a book at 12:30am, so am adding it. If the end time is correct, I'll try for another book (and enchilada)--if my husband stops talking to me ;-)
