(No, I'm not quite compulsive enough to have sat here and counted them, lol. I copied the lists out to make my own notes about potential books, and it numbered 129.)
Mod
Susan, the reserved shelves will be marked off on the planning thread by me as I will be coordinating the shelves tower. Here is the link to the planning thread.

There was one shelf that I just couldn't get the link to work! It's one of those weird ones so I've just taken it out so yes, we're left with 129 instead of 130! ;p

HAHAHAHAHA! Didn't I tell you? ;) Please let me know my recovery task! :)
Mod
Out of the 129 shelves, only 100 are "true" blocks but some of these "true" blocks hold repercussions...
Oh now I get it! So question about those shelves that were knocked off...does that mean those were misses and not true blocks?
Mod
Yes! Sorry, if it wasn't clear before...
Mod
Good hit ;)
Mod
Mod
not at all... they don't have to reserve shelves, it's only part of planning so they don't double up but if shelves aren't reserved by anyone, they can claim it anytime. You may want to cross it off the planning thread though. I'd try to check the planning thread to see who's reserved what so we're not treading on anyone's toes ;p
I see she's done already! Wow! You're the kind of soldier I want with me in battle!
I finished that a couple hours ago, D.G.! Having to wait to report this one helped encourage me to not dawdle on the task book :)

Boy and Bot for children-s
Z is for Moose for children-s-books
Bob for picture-books

No worries. I have been checking myself and so far so good. I figured it wasn't as issue, but thought that I would ask just to be sure. :)
Mod
Boy and Bot for children-s -->good shot!
Z is for Moose for children-s-books -->Sorry, You missed!
Bob for picture-books -->a pretty good shot BUT...
you've been hit by the ricochet! Take some time to recover from your injuries, Susan.
Please do NOT report any other reads until you have completed your recovery task & let me know when you have completed your recovery task in this thread.
Your recovery task is Famous Fortress #9 - El Moro, Cuba
PS: I hope you've had a lovely time with your grandkids!

Well, if it had to happen, I'm glad it was this one. I have lots of books on my TBR from Australia and from the UK.
But ... let me be sure I understand. The recovery book I choose doesn't get to apply to any of the towers, right? So I shouldn't pick one I was counting on using for a particular tower?
Mod
Yes, you can't use your recovery book to "shoot".
OMG! I have a cannon ready but don't know where to shoot, LOL!
OK, I know the enemy is expecting me to shoot for mystery but I'm sneaky! I'm going to run around the tower and fire to something totally unexpected! (Hope it doesn't backfire, LOL!)audio: All the Queen's Men by Linda Howard - 1/3/13 ★★★★★
Mod
Done. I read The Housekeeper and the Professor, which is set in Japan. It's a cute little book, though nothing terrific. So I'm fully recovered, except that I've now caught a cold. I can go on to read something else as soon as I'm done wanting to sleep all the time. :)
Oh, and the book has also been published as "The Professor and his Beloved Equation" -- if anyone needs that later for a recovery task.
I have a bad feeling about this skirmish...hopefully I won't get hit in the melee!supernatural: Trapped by Kevin Hearne - 1/5/13 ★★★

I believe you may have manifested an inclination towards 'second-sight', DG! Should've listened to it though! A bit of a silly accident, actually, you've sprained an ankle! LOL ;)

Your recovery task is Famous Fortress #10 - Peter & Paul Fortress, Russia

Hey, Dee, I saw this shelf was reserved by Minttu. Did you want to use this for another shelf?

lemme look and see and will let you know
ETA - i'll move it to a scripts tower
Mod
Oh, no! Are you okay?
Is your iPad completely ruined?
I'm fine, thanks for asking. The iPad is not ruined and it seems to work fine. But the screen broke in a corner (full of shards) and it has several hairline fractures. I should be able to use it with a screen protector if the screen doesn't get worse. My husband is all for getting me a new one but I'll keep this one until I can't use it anymore. (I'm the type of person who likes to be reminded of her mistakes. That'll teach me to be careful!)

So sorry to hear that you fell, D.G., but glad you are all right. My husband broke the screen on his iPhone and was able to use it for 6 months before it completely gave out. Me.....I would be taking him up on his offer of a new one. :)
Here's how it looks: 
A couple of those hairline fractures extend all the way to the top but that doesn't affect what I do with it (reading, checking email, watching movies )etc. I'm more concerned about the corner with all those shards underneath the screen protector. This morning I felt something sharp (it didn't hurt me) but it may come through. I think I'll have to duct tape it!

There will be a list of 129 shelves (taken from the first page of Top Shelves) of which 100 will have been randomly selected to be the “blocks” of this Tower. You will not, however, know which shelf is a block and which is not. Therefore, some of the cannons you threw will be off the mark.
There is no limitation to page numbers / editions as long as the book is shelved under the correct shelf name (ie. exact spelling of shelf).
Please only post your completed reads
