Time to add some more points: for 'Get Remarried

Finished Ape House for Get a Pet, Exotic Life One. :) It was really good though it did slow down a bit in the middle.

Finished The Haunting of Hill House for Takes place in a residence 5 points. Seriously creepy book!

Sarah Jigz- your spreadsheet is helping me so much in making sure I slot the books correctly! You did a great job on it.

We have 78 points up to here.
Well done team!

Yay! Hehe I'm glad, I just updated the sheet and left the link in the chatting thread =]

And thank you for the FR Marnie =D

I just finished Harry Truman's Excellent Adventure: The True Story of a Great American Road Trip, I think it goes under Turns 16, read a book where a car or driving plays a part, list number 1.

I just finished Carrie by Stephen King for In Laws Visit - read a horror 5 points.

It's in LIFE 2

Sarah wrote: "I just finished Carrie by Stephen King for In Laws Visit - read a horror 5 points."

And Carrie's mother was a real horror!

Finished book 3.
The Year of the Hare - Sheet 3 - Get a Pet - Exotic Animal (5 pts)

Book 4 in process

Book 4 finished, Second Chance Summer for Go On Vacation - Mountains setting, 3 points

Finished book 2 - Between the Land and the Sea Life 2-Go on vacation, Beach setting,3 points

Finished Agnes Grey for sheet 1, graduation - where someone is unemployed

Finished The Golden Rose for sheet 1, lose your job - colour in the title

and I have two extra books that aren't part of the 7 I have committed to:
The Under Dog and Other Stories which will work for 'Buy a house - takes place in a residence'
The Immorality Engine which will work for 'In-laws visit - reunion of family members'
I assume both will be for an extra 3 points as these categories are already filled for all three sheets. Unless we magically make it to sheet 4 that is! :)

Dawn you are a reading machine!!!

I have scored your first two books but will wait to hear from Sarah how best to use your other two.

Sarah- I am reading Pride and Prejudice- which is counting for taking place in a residence. Can I move that book to life 3- book with a party in it? ( there are several Balls in it- the first one being " impactful" because it is where they met) then Dawn could useThe Underdog And Other Stories for 5 points and we fill a blank spot on life 3.

Where should we slot The Immorality Engine?

Thank you Dawn! We are moving right along.

See message 459 on the other thread Marnie and Dawn =]

Oh and Dawn have you read all 4 of those already? WOW Amazing! and Lynn =D

Super fast readers >.< hehe

I wish I could read as fast as that! I'm still busy with my second book, which I will probably finish tonight. After a whole day without reading (only in the car - my husband was driving...). We went to the small town where he was born and went on a bycicle tour with his brother and his family. The tour was 50 km. - every 5 km. you were checked and you could buy something to eat or drink. All for a good cause. My son (8) and his cousin of the same age shared a bike, so they only had to cycle 25 km. We had beautiful weather most of the day - only one heavy thunderstorm, but we were at a stop at that time so came through alright! I wonder if Peggy was as fortunate at her concert...! I hope so!

I wasn't clear about that was I?? Yes, I've read all four!

No worries Dawn =] That's great.

Finished Allegiant for one word title on life 2.
