Another 5 for your third Enchilada (15 points total).
And I think your daily totals are off (I get 204 versus 199)
So really you are at 204 by adding that extra 5 points?
Way to go!!!!☺

Each third book read in a category is 15 points. Because Debra earned a 3rd enchilada, those books are all 15 points each. I calculate her final total as 219 points because of it.

Janice: I had added 15 points for one book and thought I was wrong, so I deducted 5 points from my total, but forgot to deduct that 5 points from one of my daily totals. Since I should have been earning 15 points anyway, your new total of 219 for me is correct! Woohoo! WHEW!
Janice wrote: "Here are the unofficial totals. Please let me know if your totals don't agree with mine."Janice,
I actually went back and revised my total as I finished a book I originally started as Blue, but switched to New, which gave me a second enchilada. The total I came up with is 131 points instead of 97.
I think everyone did great! Go Tipplers!
Judy wrote: "Jaxnsmom, you get 20 points for your second enchilada. :-)"Really? I have a second enchilada also. (And Debra has a total of three.)
Another 10 points?
I did 3 enchiladas. How many extra points do I get? :-)
Judy wrote: "Almeta (and anyone else), add it in. You earned it!(It falls under the double points for second completion of category.)"
Great news! That brings my points up to 141.

REVISED to 142.

Can you put your revised scorecard up so I can make sure I have your changes marked correctly?
Judy wrote: "Jaxnsmom, you get 20 points for your second enchilada. :-)"Looks like I have some recalculating to do. :) And Debra, you get 30 points for your third enchilada.
Okay - with the recalculattions, Tipplers have at least 1061.5, more when I get Lara's pdated score card.

I had included the 1 point for the audio, so would be 140.5 + 10 (enchilada extra) for 150.5 final total.

Lara - your third something blue should be 15 points, not 10.Janice, I did a post (message 143) correcting my total, instead of copying the whole thing. Is that ok?

I gave Lara 15 points for her 3rd blue. And, yes, I got your message correcting your total. Thanks!
Should I get 15 points for each of my 4 goals for the 3rd books? There would be 4 of them.

Where would I find my "wall of Fame?" I'll update it tonight. And will make sure I have time to participate before I sign up for another challenge. ! My problem is it's hard to resist something so promising!!
Sharon, your wall of fame is http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/9...There is a folder called Wall of Fame and everyone who has received a badge for a challenge, Toppler, or group read will have a thread there with their badges.
Don't sweat the small stuff. Everyone has busy lives and this is supposed to be fun.
