Lara wrote: "Finished Born in Death for roll 2."

Is this one for your Romance read? You didn't read One in a Million then?!

Sarah wrote: "Lara wrote: "Finished Born in Death for roll 2."

Isn't my roll #2 favorite genre? One in a million was for roll #3, romance. Now I'm confused! Maybe I switched them?

Completed: Roll 2 Foreign Affairs (college prof/student)

My bad Lara - I had the Romance book listed down for roll 2 and 3 even though your roll 2 was for fav genre. All sorted now!

Updated to hear. We're at 170 points at the moment! Whoo! We're 4 the Win!

I finished The Winter Palace: A Novel of Catherine the Great which Lisa's 2nd roll. It was a long one, 440 pages and pretty boring.

But your 3rd roll? I know you swapped from the pool - I have your 3rd roll as no electricity and 2nd roll as fall setting?

I swapped my third roll with Lisa. Yes, that was my swap, no electricity.

Thanks Jannene - the pool swaps make things slightly confusing.

Note for Future Reporting:
So if anyone has swapped a task with the pool (or directly with someone else), please report which roll it is for you and not what is was for the other person just to make things easier. Thanks!

I finished Paw and Order for the first round - a book from a dog's perspective.

I finished The Chocolate Thief for national monument--the Eiffel Tower, amongst others in Paris. This was for my 4th roll.

I finished my roll 3 book (dog's perspective) Timbuktu by Paul Auster.

I'll link it later, when I am at my computer. LOVED the book!
