Hi Jazzy, we can extra points if you use your books in other challenges on HOB. I am on your Bookopoly team and noticed that your books are used there as well so extra points if you mention this together with monthly rat. There is no limit to use in other challenges. It is only the task that you choose one.

“Gaze braved the storm to check on the dogs tethered outside, where he found Dasher dead and Hector’s hind legs mauled, the aftermath of a fight for supremacy. It was a harsh reminder that the fiercely hierarchical animals must be staked far apart. Purchased piecemeal from multiple owners, most of the dogs had never sledged together in a team and feuded incessantly, a problem that Joyce had intended to overcome with training.

Fight in Text Harry was a great athlete, bigger and stronger than I, but he couldn’t fight worth a damn. Anytime he was in trouble he announced to the opposition that he had a brother who could lick anyone.

It's hard when there are so many challenges to update. I think in the future I will give those with these types of bonuses a miss in the future. Too time consuming.
