Tai Chi class sounds heavenly!

Jazzy, I keep seeing you say you don't have a TBR. We are gonna have to help you start your TBR (To Be Read). A TBR is a list of books that you want to read. You can create one right here on ŷ������. You find a book you want to read and click the want to read button under it. Then you officially have a TBR. Keep doing that and your list will grow.

HAHAHAAAAA I love it. I usually just read them. I had 6 books to read and read them on the weekend. If i can't locate a book anywhere I will add it to my TBR but if it looks less likely i'll ever find it I just delete it.

WATER PLAY
“Rachel might not have been a huge fishing fan—it was hard for a kid that age to sit still waiting for some dumb perch or pickerel to hit her line—but she loved exploring the lake and knifing her hand into the water as Richard cranked the throttle to full speed. There were good memories attached to that boat, and every reason to believe they would be making more.��

Jazzy you can only use one task per book and they give you different points. Splash or water play gives 5 points so is the best to use. Fight is 2 points. See message 1. You can get multiple bonus points if your book is used in multiple other challenges in HOB. These are in messages 6 and 17.

“It was of no help at all; it was a money-making scam to prey on the losers in life.
