Oh, where to start?

I'm an avid reader with lots of other interests that both drive my interest in and are driven by books. My biggest passion (right now and aside from my family) is triathlon. I started participating in them three years ago, and this year I just finished my first half Ironman (70.3 miles of...more »

    Hi Anita,

    You've obviously thought about this, and I think you're right. Thanks for explaining!

    No, I didn't get a pm. I figured I had really messed up with the Charlie book & you were ticked with me! Since I'm a SAHM, these few quite minutes in the a.m. are very special to me. I don't post a lot in the discussions, but it makes me feel like I'm keeping up with everyone. And it's not hard for me at all. Like you said, I am 'detail oriented". I'll look for your pm.

    Hi Anita, before you go away, I've got another question about TITTM: we can claim books (points for review) that we read for a tag that we have done earlier (so, I'm at Essays, but just read another Crime book, I can claim for that book).

    However, I also finished the Comics tag. Now, what stops me from reading 50 comics and take the lead in at least the "books read" challenge? I'm not going to (not desperate enough, yet!), but maybe it would be good to set a limit either on the amount of books you can claim for earlier tags (per tag), or to set a minimum number of pages for that sort of book.

    I know, one of those "what if" questions! Sorry! But, what if? :-)

    Everything is fine. I am just too busy at work top make any progress. Would you want to be in a chain letter where you get free books by chance?

    Seattle to Portland is where I did the 204 miles. I've retired from running. I tried to run one mile today and my body wouldn't let me.
    If you download one of my books - I recommend - More Than Dust in the Wind. That one features a teenage girl on the track and cross country team.

    Mum is the word!!
    I would have done triathalons, but alas, I am not a swimmer. I have done four marathons and a 204 mile bike ride (2 days) but water is the nemesis on my premesis.
    Take care!

    Hey Anita, I just wanted to let you know that I think I'm going to, unfortuinately, have to drop out of TITTM. I just don't have the time. I haven't even started with my first book yet, and I'm not sure when I'd be able to get to it. Sorry. If you could, please delete my discussion for TITTM so that it's not taking up space on the page.

    I would like to join the Tag to the Max Challenge. I have already started reading the Julie tag (Goose Girl). Will that interfere? Thanks, Gloria

    Anita, If you are OK with it, I would like to offer an additional prize to the winner(s) of Tag It To The Max - one prize to the person who comes in 10th in points and one prize to the person who comes in 10th in # of books read when all is said and done after the game. It is my hope that these prizes will give hope to those who don't feel like they can compete with those who are already far out in the lead for TITTMax.

    The prize that I would like to offer to each winner is 2 free credits to use at Paperbackswap.com (PBS). So essentially two free books of their choice that are available through PBS. The winners would have to sign up with PBS (if they aren't already a member), but since PBS is free to join I don't think that's a problem. Once they sign up, I would transfer over 2 credits and they could go shopping iin PBS' wonderful world of used books!

    Would this be OK?

    Anita~I hope you'll forgive me, but I scored my last two TITTM books myself. It's not like it is going to vault me into first place or anything, but I didn't want to forget my points either! Can you believe how fast some of these folks are reading? How do they have time to be online? :-}

    Great job on the triathlon. I'm lucky if I can drag myself around the block!
