Quieter on the scoreboard, busy at the top of the photos: **680 captions from 45 captioneers** this week, with **942 votes** landed. Two more people took part than last week, though the vote count dipped a little.

## Breakthrough of the Week: a first-ever Threesome for @Lara_Holly

Last week’s breakthrough keeps going. On one photo @Lara_Holly now holds **1st, 2nd and 3rd place** , the first time she has ever swept a photo:

> **[Loves reading trashy novels](https://www.caption.me/866865)**

26 votes

“Loves reading trashy novels” tops it, with “Councils cut funding for mobile libraries” (13) and “Littery Agent” (10) behind. Those 26 votes are also **her best-ever score for a single caption** (previous best 23), and they tie her for the week’s top caption. Three different library jokes and all three came out on top.

## Caption Champion

@Stephen_Bean finishes top again, on **104 votes** from 52 captions.

The chase this week belongs to @Mark_England: **2nd on 90 votes from just 19 captions**. It’s his highest finish since March 2019 and his first top-three week since July 2020. @James_Lennox takes 3rd with 65.

## Top Captions

A tie at the top, with 26 votes each:
