Team Jason Mraz - Chat!
I could only read part of Alaina’‘s message up to the words “judge winner was…” so did we get our points for the judge this week or no? It’s because I’m on my phone that I can’t see all of the words.

Yes, this team is killer! We're doing such a fantastic job so far!I am off from watching Lily & Juju until Monday, so I'll have some time freed up. Hubby is off on Thursdays and Fridays though, so he takes up some time with errands and going out to eat, etc. but I will be around here and more interactive in the thread today through Sunday. :)
I posted yesterday's book on the SS and it works for a lot, too.

I always do! lol I LOVE my grandkids and I love watching them, but it really is a lot just due to the long hours! I usually come home, eat dinner, take puppy out and sit down and konk out!

We should now have 4 dances fully completed!"If you have time and want to look through what I’ve read and haven’t had a chance to put on the spreadsheet yet, feel free. If not, I’ll do it when I have more time over the weekend. I think everything through To Kill a Shadow has been posted, but I have a couple of reviews and other books that I read that haven’t been added yet.

Thanks for adding all that! I know it takes a ton of time, omg

Mod

Please check in on January 29th by 3:00 AM Eastern. (Midnight in PST)
Welcome to circus night everyone!
This week's theme will only have two tasks, just like all the future theme's coming 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:
*Features a circus or carnival, OR
*Stripes on the cover
For help -
Circus/Carnival Books - https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/3...
Stars and Stripes - https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...
Mod
I have a book I can potentially read from the Carnival list
I also have a book that works for either category. Do we want to do Carnival then?
That would work better for me. I found the audiobook so I can start as soon as I finish my current one, plus it has an active buddy read going, so it’ll be double points.
I’m on my phone so I can’t see the tasks you’re asking about. I will look when I can get on my PC.
Mod
Thanks, Saige. For myself if I were to read for theme it would probably have to be stripes. But I can check my books later.

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. . . .
JULIANNE HOUGH!
Let's see how everyone did score-wise for EACH dance you completed.
