No. Yahtzee is a section we're coordinating together. We've already filled in:average rating of 4+ stars (Andrea)
title begins with Y,A,H,T,Z,E (Andrea)
red cover (Abigail)
white or black cover (Hannah)
The only category left to finish the Yahtzee section is:
a teammate or group moderator rated the book 5 stars
Yay!! Abigail made it!Sorry your computer pitched a fit 😰

No problem! We are off to a good start. :)
I’ll claim a 4 on one of the straights with
, which has 416 pages.
Okay. I'll mark the Small Straight, #4 as yours.
Two books completed on day one. Well done, Team Daisy!
Update on my reading for the day:42 of 60 chapters of Wives and Daughters completed
Whew! It's been an exhausting day. But a good one. This story is really adorable and precious yet so heartfelt and rich.
Hannah told me she was switching her Small Straight book, so I updated that.Soooo close to finishing Wives and Daughters. Should definitely be today. :)
Just snagged a spot of the straights for a library audio that I'd forgotten was coming due. It's a shorty but at least it counts for something.Large straight: 2
216 pages/2010 pub.
Protective Custody
Thanks, Andrea! I updated my original post.
I was in the mood for a quick, creepy read today, so I decided to read "Dead Lake", which was recommended to me by a friend. I enjoyed reading this book, however it creeped me out a little more than I would have liked.
I just posted for this book to fulfill Section 1, Task #3, so I'll be able to use "The Secret Garden", when I read it, for another task. 🙂
Updated the tracker. Thanks for letting us know, Monique! Our current reads for section one, including that book, still qualify us for the bonus points. Yay!
I just finished Wives and Daughters, so updating for that and posting my review in the next few minutes.
Hey, y'all! We've already finished FIVE books, and this is only day two. Woohoo! High fives all around, Team Daisy! Wonderful work.
Great, Andrea!I just read Beneath The Surface and In Too Deep by Lynn H. Blackburn if that will work for three of a kind? (We took a few two hour plus drives the past three days so I had lots of reading time.) The three of a kind is Christian Fiction, right? And they don't have to both be for the three of a kind if other books are down for them.
(That was suppose to be three hour plus drives in the past two days.)
Monique, do you want one of these categories for The Secret Garden:Large Straight, #3 (358 pages)
Yahtzee, teammate rated it 5 stars (Hannah did)
Chance (freebie)
Abigail, that works great to fill two slots of the Three of a Kind (Christian Fiction). Thanks!
(And make that SEVEN books finished in TWO days. Woohoo!)
Hooray, Abigail! I’ll let Andrea give her preference with categories, but with you adding two more, that’s seven books in two days, and hopefully I’ll be finishing another tonight 😋
Haha, double posted the above....I was typing while Andrea posted. :)
Haha! I type fairly quickly on my computer. Much slower on my phone.
Thanks! I type extremely slowly in my kindle and faster on my laptop too.

I was thinking “The Secret Garden” would work great for the Yahtzee task, with Hannah having rated it 5 stars. 🙂
By the way... HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREA!🎉🙂
Perfect! I'll jot that in on the tracker and my notebook.
I hope you had a really nice birthday yesterday, Andrea. You are such a wonderful friend and I hope your year ahead is truly blessed! 🙂Also, thank you for all that you are doing to organize this challenge for our group! We are most definitely off to a great start! 🙂
I haven't been feeling well since Tuesday, and my mind has been out of sorts. Being sick is never fun, however the excuse it provides to relax and read is quite nice. I've just started reading “The Secret Garden”.
Thank you so much, Monique. My birthday was wonderful. I am glad to use my organizational skills to help us out. I hope you feel well soon! The Secret Garden is a great book to read when you aren’t feeling the best. Hopefully it’ll distract you well. :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed your birthday, Andrea.🙂Thank you for the well wishes, Andrea and Hannah. 🙂

<-- I would love to read these books!With your computer troubles, Abigail, if you could set your start and finish dates for these books and rate them on Goodreads, I would happily create posts for you in our team's review thread (giving credit to you), if you'd like. I really would love to help. 🙂
Abigail wrote: "Happy late Birthday, Andrea!"Thank you! The celebrations have gone on all week, so I don’t consider it late. ;)
Updated the tracker to mark Hannah's Boys on the Boat book done for the Small Straight. Woohoo!
Claiming full house for
; author name Laura.
Updated your finished book and slid Unbroken into the Full House spot. Great job! You're working on some good nonfiction for this challenge too, which is wonderful. Glad you can get a variety of books read this week. Vintage/classic, current Christian, nonfiction... way to go!
Hello team, I hope you all are enjoying your reads and are having a nice day/evening. 🙂The weather in my area has finally cleared up, so it's safe to have my computer back on. We've had some pretty crazy storms today and lightning struck just outside of my house earlier, knocking the power out for a bit.
I'm about halfway through "The Secret Garden" and I'm really loving it!
Also, I thought I'd let you all know that I am in communication with Maria. She is blind and I will be assisting her in any way that I can in this challenge. She seems very nice, is from Australia, and definitely will be reading books for this challenge. 🙂
She is currently reading:
<-- Works for Large Straight #4"With Hope and Love" by Ellie Dean (400 pages, started on 8/22)
<-- This will be Maria's Chance (freebie) book"El Tiburon" by H. Schussman (370 pages, started on 8/22)
Monique, I'm so glad y'all are staying safe. Sounds a bit scary there with that lightning so close to the house!Thank you for getting in touch with Maria and sharing her books with us. I'll update the form as soon as I finish dinner.
Large straight #3
312 pages in this edition
Updated the form with books read and LS#3.
Three of a kindChristian fiction

Updated again.All we have left to claim is the chances for:

Once we finish all our claimed books plus those chances, we'll be able to move on to the second run through the board. Woohoo!
I'm really enjoying chatting with and helping Maria. Being blind, she uses a screen reader and not everything on Goodreads is available or revealed to her. She has just started reading:
"Saving Sarah" by Melissa Storm (179 pages, started on 8/24)
This is a Christian fiction book that will work for the final "Three of a Kind" task. 🙂
I hope you all have a blessed weekend! 🙂
