Alright, it's been a rough beginning to the school year. My car was totaled (I'm fine..) and we're implementing new testing on computers that has been quite stressful. Hopefully things will get normal soon! :)

Amy, your Rise of the Evening Star I put under the letter R, since that is what the title begins with, which gives you 8 more points.

Mary Beth- I have that you still have J left. I don't mean to be a party pooper, but I searched the posts and never saw a "J" title.... Let me know.

Also, noticed you put dystopian for 2 titles (Prodigy and Knife of Never Letting Go). Also, contemporary isn't one of our genres (we use realistic in place). Sorry!

Looks like our counts are off again... We matched points at 381 on the scoreboard in message 212 but not page count. I had it at 7320, and it was written as 7230. Can you check that?

Since message 212, I've added 22 points which would make it 403 total points, and added 502 pages which would make it 7822 total pages for message 229.
