It is. Apparently The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe will not count for the teams that claimed it as the word count is below the 160 page threshold. Karen is letting me shuffle some books around though, so I'm going to move Crooked Creek Ranch into the final count to get our points.

Just to check in, I'm on a family roadtrip for a couple of days, so I'll be a bit behind with posting books, cuz the only internet I have is on my phone..:-)

Thanks for the check-in Marie! I've also been away from my computer and am trying to keep up by phone as much as I can. I promise I'll get the thread and spreadsheet updated by tomorrow.

In the meantime, just keep posting books and I'll figure out how to plug them in as we go.

Book & Author: Killer Secrets by Lora Leigh
Date Read: 07/23/14
Works For: Series - T (Tempting SEALS) - Character - I (Ian Richards)
Genre Points: Yes

I forgot to mention...Killer Secrets is a re-read for me, I'm not sure they are allowed?

I'm not sure about this group but in others the requirements for re-reads is that it has to be 6 months since you last read it and you have to read the whole book. I could be wrong though.

I just checked with the Mods - re-reads are allowed if it was last read more than 6 months ago.

Okay I'm good...it's been years since I read it.

I've just seen the problem with "The Lion, the Witch and th Wardrobe". I'm sorry about the page count, I should've checked. I read it in Serbian and the editions don't match. Sorry :(

It's okay Marie, really! I would never have thought to check. Another team used that book too, so we weren't the only ones. :)

with you new book added i think we are at 215 points

I've also started a book that could work for 'O', and I hope to finish it until dead-line. :D

Yep, we are at 215 points. Need an I, O, and N to finish our third spelling.
