Very good reasoning for the beauty on the cover ;)
But since I don't like cats (I'm allergic to them and one of my rabbits got bitten by one and died of the infection) I would say the beauty lies more to the right of the cat (mmmmm!!)... :D

Yes, Connie and Rebecca are great to have on a toppler-team!!!

You tell her, Rus!"
*waves fists around*

I will go back and check which. I actually asked other members which of my reads would count because I was confused by the tasks (I swear, I am not mentally deficient!), but not how many points they were or why. O_o

All books are 10 points, unless they are the two categories with bonus points.

Don't feel bad about getting confused by the tasks, Kandice! That happens to all of us. The only difference is: most of us have had weeks to ask all the (sometimes silly or obvious) questions, to get ready for the tasks.
(and still we ask questions ;)...)


Thanks Cherie. Trying to get all the information in one place.

First Topplers are usually confusing. After surviving this one, the rest will be easier.

You tell her, Rus!"
