57 books read, 80 bonus points earned, 650 points total!

I have completed When Girlfriends Step Up by Savannah Page for Reading-Read an author that's new to you.

I just finished The Voyage of the Dawn Treader for Collecting comic books – Read a book that’s part of a series.

I completed Flambards for Romeo and Juliet – Read a YA book

Put me down for completing Ready Player One, a gaming book.

Oops - sorry! Didn't realize we had our own separate reporting thread. Okay, I finished Legacy of Masks - the main character is a criminal defense attorney - no. thank. you.

This could also fit under #58 - a human/other life form interact. The Cherokee Ani Tsaguhi Bear makes an appearance.

I finished The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland for my Canada task.

Finished The Tempest for an Island.

Finished Scarpetta (sorry, can't do links from phone). Takes place on an island, also could work for book involving weapon and crime thriller, and job we would (DA) or wouldn't (ME) want our date to have...

I listened to Taking The Fifth for shoes.

Finished The Good Girl for "Read a book with a human head (or a human looking alien). Mostly the head, as little of the body as possible." This one is all head!

I've edited post 2 to show a quick look at bonus tasks.

Beth wrote: "Finished Scarpetta...also could work for book involving weapon and crime thriller..."

Beth, I moved your finish of Scarpetta to Shooting on the spreadsheet, since Island was already covered and we needed the points there.

Sorry for the late check-in. Been without Internet for four days...! However, in that time I've managed to read:-

The Colour of Magic for part of a series.

The King's Speech for a book featuring a royal character.

I finished Stephanie Pearl-McPhee Casts Off: The Yarn Harlot's Guide to the Land of Knitting for Crafting – Read a book with a main character does some type of craft for a hobby.

I just finished The Lavender Garden. This book does not have time traveling in the plot but the perspective does change from the past to present. The plot switches from the present to France during World War II. It would also fit the task historical fiction.

I finished Lion in the Valley last night! I believe this was for the dreamboat's job - turn on ;)

Just finished for eyes. Now we have our first bonus points!

... and it's time to go to sleep (almost 1am here)

I finished Lucky Us.

I finished The Wolves of Midwinter for Clubbing – Read a book from another participant’s TBR. I found this on Beth's TBR list

Finished with my Africa book, which is Americanah!

I finished The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms for my Alien world/Space book.

I just finished Inferno by Dan Brown...I'm sorry I am not sure which task this book covered. I haven't been on GR much because I've been reading in all of my spare time! I have one more book to go!!
Next time I really need to find books with smaller page counts!!!
:-)
Happy Reading!

I finished The King of Plagues. Since we already have someone who finished the bonus points for shooting, you could put this in for a horror book (Bella and Edward).

I ALSO finished Vox for a sexy book for me and Johnny Depp.

I finished Parthian Shot.

I finished The Curse of the Pharaohs for Africa.

Finished Howl's Moving Castle. It was originally going to be for Clubbing but since that's covered I'll move it to Almeta and Kermit. I also read You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?! Publisher: Scribner; Updated edition and Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment for nonfiction and Jasper Jones for YA.

I just finished my 5th and final book for this Toppler, A Small Indiscretion for "Claire and Jamie Fraser (Outlander) – Read a book with time travelling, or where the perspective changes between the present and the past." This book switches back and forth to cover present events and what had happened 20 years before.

Read A Fistful of Collars for Mickie and Minnie. Chet is a dog and narrates the mystery. I LOVE this series!

I finished my last book, City of Ashes!
I originally had it down for torso, but looking at the sheet I think that's already covered. So if that's the case this book could go towards one of the the following
Couples:
Gomez & Morticia Adams (Paranormal)
Buffy & Angel (vampires)
Brokeback Mtn (forbidden love=bro+sis)

Just finished my second and last book for the toppler: Mostly Harmless for the alien world.

It's one of favorites! I love how Chet hears something and then realizes it's him barking.

I finished my South American book, except it was set in South Africa. Oops! The author grew up in Brazil, but ...

Legacy of Masks counts as line 58 Almeta and Kermit (move from line 20) <-- already covered. It's about the myth of the Cherokee Indian bear. I'll go ask how to count this ...
Lucky Us counts as line 56 Brokeback Mountain (move from line 51)
Parthian Shot counts as line 37 The Bobbits (move from line 26)
The Substance of Fire & The Film Society I'll use in line 20 - I don't want to date a headmaster in South Africa.
Morality for Beautiful Girls is total chick-lit. Line 38.

Legacy of Masks counts..."

And the ruling was yes! Move Legacy to line 32, please, for legends. :)

Sorry I'm late to report I finished The Honey Thief for author new to me.
