I did a random wheel decide to see which Judge would give you extra points IF you read for them AND they gave you a 10. Today's check-in judge winner was. . . .
LEN GOODMAN!
Let's see how everyone did score-wise for EACH dance you completed.

I have so many books to update! I’ll try to get those or atleast half done tonight! We have a new puppy at home that is making me work twice as hard as any job or newborn I’ve had! 😆

I know the feeling! We "lost" our Bichon on Nov. 1, 2023, when we had to put her down due to multiple health issues. :( We got a Havanese the day after Christmas and she's now 5 months old. I've never had a dog pee and poop as much as Daisy does, but she's finally settling down. We thought we'd go nuts taking her out every 15-20 minutes, getting woken up 3-4 times a night. We ended up bell-training her to go potty and FINALLY she rings the bells to go out to do her business and she is only going out about every 45-60 minutes now. Plus, she's sleeping through the night till 6:00 or 7:00, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel! I'll post a picture of our little Havanese once I get on my phone, if I can figure it out. What kind of dog do you have? How big will he/she get? Ours will be about 12 lbs. The last time we took her to the vet for her final shot in the puppy plan, she was 10.1 so she's probably now about the full size she will be.
I don't know how. :) But she's so adorable and fun. She loves playing fetch and tug-a-war. She's just a joy!

Vicki! We also lost our 15 yr old pup back in August 2023 (also multiple health issues), so we did take a little break until we were ready. We brought our girl home this past Friday. She is a standard size golden doodle. We really love her and are happy, but man i forgot the work came into training them. I was in my 20's when i raised my other two with no kids so i feel like i had alot more patience then... in my 40's, i quickly realized i dont have that same kind of patience. lol No regrets at all, just exhaustion. but i know it will get better...at some point! lol
I also have no idea how to post pics on here! lol
Mod
Raquel, I am 74 and while I have 5 children, 22 grandchildren and 6 greats, only my husband and I live in our home now. So it definitely makes the puppy training a lot easier and right now she is a whole lot easier than she was even two weeks ago. Good luck to you and I’m sorry about your loss because I know how painful that was. Honestly, I wasn’t ready to get our puppy as soon as we did after our other one died, but my husband was constantly sending me photos of puppies and he wanted another one so badly and was just so ready for another one. I finally decided that I would get one for Christmas, and we got lucky with her because she’s a sweetheart and so fun! Jamie, that’s a big dog! We also have a 14 year old dog who was abandoned with his siblings when he was approximately 5 to 6 weeks old and just left on the side of the road in a box. My daughter happened to spot him and we already had two dogs at the time and that time our dog who just passed away was six months old, and our other dog that we had was two years old. But we fell in love with Rocky and we couldn’t let him go to a pound or not be sure that he had a good, loving home so we went ahead and brought him home and we had three dogs. He has been a really good dog And he is border collie/lab mix or at least that is what the vet thinks he is. Our other dog who was two years old when we got Rocky passed away several years ago and he was also a great dog and he was Australian shepherd/lab mix, also a great dog!

Welcome to finale night everyone!
This week's theme will only have two tasks, just like all the previous theme's that came your way. Friendly reminder, you only need to read for ONE of these tasks. We also need THREE different people reading for this task.
Here are this week's tasks:
*Read a book from the Goodreads Choice Award Winners List, OR
*Read a book from the 2023 Nominees Books List
Mod
I also have one that's on that list, Jamie, so I can add my book from it if everyone is okay with it. I'm sure if you and I have books from the list that at least one other person can add one to it.
I'm going to post my review for Anger Bang
Jamie and Vicki, which book are you two going to read? Maybe we can buddy read.

I think those are all that I have currently in my possession. Any that you want to buddy up and read?
My library has Banyan Moon but that’s it. I also have Kindle Unlimited so any of those ones father on the list if you want to read any.
I'm not sure if any are on KU, but if you know of any let me know. I only looked at the books I have on my TBR shelf, so it's possible there is one on KU that I don't know about. Do you have Libby or Scribd?

I stopped looking at like page 7.
