LOL, I am glad you like it. So many people asked me to bring it back again sometime that I had to. You guys loved it so I can't disappoint you.

Hi everyone,
I like The Fast and the Flurries and We're up to Snow Good

The Fast and the Flurries does sound great!!

Hello all, Checking in!

I like We're up to snow good also

I like we are up to snow good.

The Fast and the Flurries - 2

We’re Up to Snow Good - 2

We need a tie breaker!!

Like them both but I'll go with We're up to Snow Good.

Awesome!! We have a name!!

We're up to Snow Good

I like it.

Can anyone add books to the spreadsheet? I can't. It's view only.

Try it now.

Thanks, Donna!

Hi everyone,I’m here.sorry for the delay posting

I know we have some new players this time around so I just want to clear up some confusion. Every book that you read that meets HOB standard book requirements will work for this challenge. You do not have to read for the bonus tasks, they are just for fun. If a book that you read fits a bonus task, then you get bonus points. The finish date is what counts so if you started a book before the challenge started but finished it AFTER the challenge started, it does count.

Please note that I have broken out the "snowball" wheel and spun for the completed books in your spreadsheet. The hits get 10 points but misses don't score any points. The more "snowballs" that you launch, the better your chances are of hitting someone on the other team. Good luck and most of all, HAVE FUN! (trash-talking the other team is encouraged but do it in a nice way!)

I sent links to the people that haven't checked in yet except for Zorianna. I friend requested her a few days ago but she hasn't accepted it and I can't message her. Hopefully, she will show up on her own.

Sorry! I'm here :D

Wont let me add books

Hey! Sorry been craaaazy busy. I'm here

😁

You are probably going to notice an extra column in your SS. The formula broke and instead of fighting with it, I just did it the easy way ; )

Love that!!!

Chat is awfully quiet. How is everyone doing?

Hi Namita,
Work is kicking my butt recently. I am so tired on evenings that I can barely read. Hoping to finish off some books this week, if life would cooperate with me.

I hear you. Some days reading becomes difficult. So tired that I'm asleep the moment my head hits the pillow.

Hey guys. Reading is down to my mom's health issues.

Sorry to hear that Maritza :(

I read Five Questions of Christmas: Unlocking the Mystery
Will it fit the bonus task ~ Letters FIGHT in title (any order)? Including the "subtitle"

Take care Maritza. Hope things improve soon :)

Yeah work has been crazy busy so the only reading I've had chance to do has been on my commutes with an audiobook.

Old age is not kind on the body. Hate seeing her in pain. Thanks

I added a book I finished yesterday - There There

Thanks for the update! I forgot to log my books the past couple of weeks!!!

LOL, I almost forgot to update the scores so don't feel bad.

I added my recent reads to the spreadsheet. I think I used one of the free spots at 154 , for The Elegance of the Hedgehog so it might be missed

I noticed the open spots and check every line starting at the top to make sure I don't miss anything. I will see it.
