Hm, not sure. Really whichever calls to you more. We won't win for the BOM points but it will give that book extra points, and it's a pretty interesting and easy read. I haven't read Scythe so I'm not sure if that's a slower or faster read.

Here are the tasks not yet finished:

Erin
Create walls by reading with a brown cover that is between 301 and 500 pages

Jessi
Light the candles of a Hanukkah menorah by reading a book with a "8" in the number of pages

Colleen
For bad ones, coal or rod is ready. Read a book with black text on the cover

Carrie
Read a book with only shoes or boots on cover

Cecily
Read a book with an Christmas ornament on the cover of a book

Stacey
Read a book with a Christmas lights on the cover



As for mine, I will have done tomorrow before the deadline and updated. If the deadline looms closer we can try to fit in other books finished or read one real quick to fill. Let us know here ASAP if you cannot finish your book so we can cover. Thank you - we are almost there.

I am supposed to be buddy reading Scythe but the other person hasn't begun it yet and sadly her mother passed away last night. So I went ahead and started The Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein. I think it'll probably give us more points.

I really hate for this to end. We have had such good camaraderie on this team and we've all been so supportive. That doesn't happen on all teams.

I seriously hope to be on teams with you guys/gals again!

Will the deadline still be 1:00 PST?

I'm sorry about your mother's friend :( I agree I will miss our team and hope we all get paired up again soon.

Vicki wrote: "Will the deadline still be 1:00 PST?"

Yes, it will still be the same time frame as other Saturdays (1:00 PST, 5:00 EST)

We have several books read that were not used for tasks as well, and some of these may fit in if a task is not finished without having to read/fill in new books.

For now, off to bed - will check in the morning and back to reading =)

Finished my last task for the challenge. Can't believe it came so quick.
I've had fun with this great group! Looking forward to more challenges and meeting up again for sure!

Just finished my last two books. I now have a book hangover and probably need a nap later. I really enjoyed this challenge and participating with all of you awesome readers. Have a great weekend!

I finished my BOM and posted my DQ's on the thread and on our team's BOM SS. I am off to finish Scythe now because I'm almost done anyway. lol

There are two tasks now marked as done on the SS that my two books can fill, but I think they might have been completed but the completion dates were not added to the SS. If we end up needing to cover, the two my books would cover are "black boots on cover" Empire of Storms and "black text on cover" The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein. I won't have time to read anything else to cover the others. I hope the other teammates come through for us.

Thanks again everyone! It's been such a pleasure to work with all of you. :)

Finished my last book for this challenge! This has been so fun and I'm sad to see it end! Hope to see everyone in the future!

Thank you so much Colleen, I enjoyed it as well. I will probably take it easy reading wise the next week or so to catch up and relax. It was definitely fun while it lasted!

Sounds interesting, I don't think I'm a member of that one, will check it out.

Thank YOU Stacey for filling in so much and being such a great sport. I just updated your books and bonuses. Appreciate it!

As always, you amaze me Vicki. Thank you SO much. I am going to look through all the bonuses now and see what's done and if anything is left over. I'm glad you enjoyed Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein, just saw that in your Daily Questions.

It looks like we are down to only 1 bonuses needing completed.

Cecily, do you think you will finish this book in time?
Read a book with an Christmas ornament on the cover of a book

We have done SO well this week:

Finished 4/4 Weekly Bonuses
Almost done with Mini Challenge
So far 1635 Regular Book Points - wow! Our highest yet
3 BOM's completed - our highest yet


I'm going to finish an O book real fast. Thanks so much all for all the hard work!

I'm going to sneak in the buddy read In Love with Alien Santa Clause since it's short. Ugh, wish me luck - I'll need it! :D

GOOD LUCK!

Lol good luck! I was reading the comments in that thread the other day and it sounded.... Interesting lol

I admit to liking the funny reindeer and their drinking habits so far lol

Cecily, just in case you don't finish, I'll put a placeholder (this alien santa book in). If you finish in time I will switch with your book, just want to be careful just in case since we're so close to the deadline =)

I'm sure your book was better than mine lol

Just posted one for O

And Thank you being such an awesome Co-Captain!

I should be done with one more book before the deadline, it's an easy read and I'm about halfway through.

We are now fully through and checked in.

Woo hoo!! Thanks for all your hard work as captain, Erin. I appreciated your encouragement and enthusiasm!

Thank you Vicki, I appreciate all the hard reading and friendly chatter :)

Thanks Erin and Teri for all your hard work with this challenge! Awesome job by all!

I thoroughly enjoyed this challenge. I do wish I had been able to read more. I guess I had too many other challenges going on at the same time.
