Love your poem! :)

I think we just have to list the book(s) we've read and keep a running score. At least I hope it's that easy. I've reserved three messages for the task.

Rebecca - Make sure you go report and answer some questions in the "Is your mind expanding?" thread for extra points. Link is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Nice job getting through two books today! What did you think of Sickened? I was thinking about adding it to my TBR.

Homework doesn't have to be turned in immediately after finishing a book. You have until Monday at midnight EST.

Okay so make sure you all do your homework so that you get 20 points for books read.

When reporting, link the name of the book and state whether or not you've completed the homework. The link to the homework page is in message 3.

I changed the image in message one. I was trying out Travis' little green pill at the time I posted the Three Stooges.

Ah, I kinda liked the Three Stooges! ;)

Okay, here you go, Lisa Ann...

When you do your homework, just put a new message in the thread rather than go back and edit a post. It's too easy for me to miss it.

Finished Beautiful Music for Ugly Children by Kirstin Cronn-Mills- GLBT. Will do homework later.

80 points to here.

Finished Stella by Starlight by Sharon M. Draper. (Race) Excellent, although the ending felt kind of abrupt. Will do homework later.
