Nice job with Hogwarts!!

We have new tasks:

Read a book you can connect to an elephant
Read a book you can connect to elves
Read a book you can connect to cats
Read a book you can connect to The Librarian (an orang-utan)

I have Legends and Lattes up next on my listening - so I could do elves :)

Loved that book. Can't wait for the next one.

I have a book I can read for the gymnast chipmunk task if no one is reading one for that yet?

New Chipmunk Task

Solve for X - Read a book with MPG Popular Science

Louise wrote: "Louise wrote: "Does this look like a monochrome cover ""

Yes, to me that fits "white plus a colour, not necessarily black"

I finally finished

Ah. what a slog.

at least now I can move onto more uplifting books

Fab, I’ll grab it next

Finished my book for MPG Action, but I see a different book has been used... luckily, this book also works for MPG Adventure, so it's all good.

I’ve got a Popular Science I will try to finish today.

What are the chances that Amy's Stormbreaker (for adventure) gets us this task:

X-Men - Read a book with the word Storm in the title
🌩️😆

Nice!

Finally finished a book with a fraction in the title...

Now we have an MPG classics!

Good job, Melissa!

New Chipmunk Task

Random 10 - Read a book with a (tin) hat on the cover

Vicki wrote: "Good job, Melissa!"

Thanks Vicki!

My daughter has wanted me to read My Antonia for a long time - so I'll read that for the MPG Classics.

Can this be used for yellow or bright yellow cover?


By the way this is an awesome book. Should be finished by tomorrow.

What other colors do we need to finish some rainbows. I see that one is missing a color but don't know which.

I really loved this book too. I loved how unabashedly competitive she was - not always likable. I'm thinking a lot about it now that Wimbledon has been playing. I think I heard that one of the women just "fired" her dad as a coach actually. Interesting.

We have a bunch of rainbows we could finish. If you have the choice, go with orange, green, or purple. The one we need the least of is blue :)

Definitely yellow

Yes, and such a great book!

I finished

which was so good. exactly what I needed after that slog of a tome I just finished.

Now I have no idea what to start as I just enjoyed it so much I'd rather just read more of it. haha

I literally just started Storm Echo so if stormbreaker can't be used, mine definitely can :-)

I will try and update the tracker with my books today - its been a little crazy here in the last couple of weeks

Finished the popular science bookHumble Pi: A Comedy of Maths Errors.

I didn't select the page placement because I forget if all the Chipmunks have to be free choice. It's 314 pages so it's in a very common range. (It's a math book -- 314 pages -- get it?)

Yes! We can use it!

Very clever... I bet that took some editing to get it there!
Yes, Chipmunks and Wheels have to be free choice - and 300s do seem to be the most popular page numbers!

I am glad you liked it! It was a hit with our neighborhood book group.

Excellent - you put it in the right place. I marked it for cats. We just need a librarian / orangutan for the last one in that category :)

I have a librarian book I can read.

Pretty much any book in the Hannah Swenson series by Joanne Fluke would work here for any of the tasks. I'm impatiently waiting for the newest one... I'm not too far down the list to get it from the library.

Ha! I finally finished The Daughter of Doctor Moreau!

I assume it's too late to go back to the discussion? Oh well, it actually fits a bunch of options, I think.

Like, The Librarian is a man turned into an orangutan by magic, and the whole book is about mixing humans and animals by science-magic, and so lots of the characters are furry and climb really well.

I can use my librarian book for something else. Should be finished by tomorrow. Working on BOM right now.

I mean, I've never read a book about an actual librarian that I DIDN'T enjoy. But they could use my book for something else, like Green or something?

Well that was exciting!!
I finished updating the spreadsheet.
Our chocolate tasks aren't populating, but there are 2 there. One for Dr. Moreau! Everyone should have had more chocolate in that book :)

I used the other library book for the library task :)

Some of the 500 pagers are probably going to be used for pages and whatnot..

There are a couple books not on tt shelves. I'll message you if this is the case.

And now for the new tasks!

More baking!

Task Set: [TT 3: Save Christmas]
Top edge of quadrilateral
Right edge of quadrilateral
Bottom edge of quadrilateral
Left edge of quadrilateral

The Save Christmas tasks have to do with the title of books. I picked Enchanted Hunt to start us off, as T is a good one for titles. E can be more elusive... so if you see an E title, that's good :)

I forget the answer to this question - but I'll look it up!
I'll get to this this afternoon...

Last thing - we're low on Ns and Is for our spell outs

The book I'm reading now they make and eat cupcakes and also eat chocolates sent to one of them from France.
