Hi Christina, welcome to the team. Hopefully the randomiser will look favourably on us, I know Rina has Requested to be back up, I’ve managed to get hold of the audiobook for the BOM, can’t wait.
Hi Sandy, you’re all linked up 😄

Tempted by the Nora Roberts, but I may have to take up the Rachel Caine. I really enjoyed the first in the series
Welcome Claire, Brigia and Keely. Shelves are linked above. Feel free to add books to the planning spreadsheet. Everyone has the same task list (200 each) this is on the 2nd Tab on the s/sheet. Bonus points are available for our first complete word. Every other complete word per round is only on page points.
Genre specific tag (Max 10 books)
Task list - each player can complete the task list but can not duplicate a task. (I.e if you use your book for Set in Canada this task will not be available for further books; other team members can complete this on their list). (Hint: if your book works for an obscure task use that one first)

Yeah.

Going to hunt out Book 3 & 4
Poor Kitty, when our dog was spayed last year she kept bumping into everything with the cone. It hurt when what she bumped into was your leg
Hi Everyone, looking forward to this challenge. We have just over a week to get ready for the start so a little time to get to know each other. This is my 3rd Wheel and I’ve also played UNO, Tower Teams and Wobble as well as other smaller Team Challenges. I am a little bit addicted to Team challenges which I find is great for expanding my reading, although some of the books I have read have been rather dubious 😂Although originally from North Wales, I live in South Wales with my OH and 4yr old SpanielxDaschund. Since lockdown I have been “reading” more audiobooks as I can listen while working from home. We had planned a road-trip to visit long lost relations in May but unfortunately this had had to be put on hold until next year 🤞.
My favourite genres are Mystery, Thriller, Romance and YA but will read most genres. I don’t think I’ve read Jonathon Swift’s Gulliver but I have watched the Ted Danson and Jack Black adaptation. I do prefer Ted Danson’s version.

I’m probably scarred for life 😉
After much deliberation I’ve decided to jump back in to this. I enjoyed the HP Towers Quidditch although I ended up reading some rather dubious books to try for a win.
