The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1) by Suzanne Collins works for IT bonus, word horse in book's text (...pulled by teams of four horses." Page 68

Brittany  | 1038 comments I am about to start this book: Amish Wilderness Survival by Mary Alford - pg 9 "As he saddled the horse..."

Brittany  | 1038 comments Melanie - I have a book that I already started, but will be finishing in the next day or two. It is on my kindle. How would we count points for it when the time comes?

You can count the pages you read after the challenge started. Let's say you have 230 pages left, then your team would get 2 points for the pages read. Not eligible for the bonus.

Tiffany Murphy (tiffers919) | 989 comments Hi all. I’m excited about getting started!


message 12: by Tiffany (new)

Tiffany Murphy (tiffers919) | 989 comments Just for clarification, is there a limit to how many we can read for a category?


message 13: by Melanie, ✞Moderator, Avid Reader, & Blogger ✞ (new)

Melanie (lovebeingvegan) | 9915 comments Mod
No limit. :)


message 14: by Tiffany (new)

Tiffany Murphy (tiffers919) | 989 comments I’m starting Code Name Edelweiss. On page 72, it says “Instead I helped Mutti fit dresses for Mabel Norman - who was always kind, despite her many scandals- and sew costumes for Will Rogers, who taught me how to ride a horse and shoot a gun between takes.”

Awesome! My husband has a couple of evening classes this week so I should have extra reading time.


message 16: by Sarita (new)

Sarita | 1386 comments Currently reading The Shifting Current (Coastal Guardian #3.5) by Dani Pettrey which mentions horses.

Also planning on The Writing Desk by Rachel Hauck - which features a table.

And hoping after these the next 2 I plan would also mentions a horse :-)


message 17: by Rachel (new)

Rachel | 64 comments Hi everyone!
I'm going to read
They Looked for a City by Lydia Buksbazen - table on the cover.


message 18: by Tiffany (new)

Tiffany Murphy (tiffers919) | 989 comments Just posted my first book. Now I’m reading Breaking New Ground. It’s an Amish novel so I’m assuming there will be a horse mentioned.


message 19: by Tiffany (new)

Tiffany Murphy (tiffers919) | 989 comments I won’t always finish books that quickly but I had yesterday as an extra day off. Now to pick another book.

Most definitely as I made up for it today and worked almost 12 hours lol. I got promoted since last time I participated and it's near impossible to get it all done in 40 hours.

Congrats on the promotion! But good luck with the extra responsibilities.


message 23: by Tiffany (new)

Tiffany Murphy (tiffers919) | 989 comments Thank you! The hard part for now is since I only have 3 people on my team I still have to take 60 hours of calls a month (I’m a supervisor at a call center for usaa insurance), in addition to my administrative and supervisory duties. At the end of the month, I’ll have a full team. I can’t wait!

Almost there! Good luck with the madness in between :-)
