I just finished my book, Hag-Seed. I don't know if we'll be able to use it anywhere, but adding it to the READ thread. Guessing this will be my final book for WOBBLE, which is an odd feeling. I'll still be reading until Monday, so if I finish another I'll add it. It's been great fun and hope we can stay in touch after the game ends!

Great job, team! Looks like we've got everything claimed for the final push. Way to go!!

Margaret Atwood is one of my favorite author's, but my current book, Hag-Seed has been really different from her other books. It's taken me awhile to get into it, but now it's taking off. Hoping to finish it soon!

That's great that we defeated one boss! Hopefully we can get some of those series read before the end!

Good morning team!
Indian summer starting up in Virginia again today. I love warm weather, so I'm all smiles!

Sure!

Still trying to get caught up on laundry, etc. from our trip. Getting some reading done in between the chores. Volunteered this morning in our grandson's kindergarten room. So odd to be volunteering to do something I used to get paid to do. :) Nice to just walk out the door after a few hours...and without papers to grade! Ha!

If I get done with my current book quick enough, I'll try to find a higher number series to read.

Ha, Yes I thought so! Two of the book marks are the same as her cover for that book and the other is a cover for a book that I haven't read by her yet!"

Cool!

Love some of the choices!!)"

I voted too. Fun to see that some of the ones I read during this challenge were on the list. A few of those I read because of team mates recommendations. Yay!

Laura,
If you would rather use my book, The Underground Railroad for "someone steals something" (the MC is an escaped slave and steals food) or for "someone finds something" (the MC finds her freedom} that's fine. Just use it however it best fits.

Works for spell it out, letter "U" for title Underground Railroad

I will start reading Hag-Seed for the "H" in "heart".

Edit:
This book could also be used for the "A" in "heart" by using the author's surname, "Atwood".

Wow, Cecily, you went all out!

I finished my "u" book on the plane ride home. . It was really good! Adding it to the READ books now.

Happy Halloween all! Flying home today and excited to trick or treat with my little grandkids tonight. This has to be the LEAST reading I've ever done in a week! It was great fun seeing all my sisters-in-laws that I only get to see yearly, but no time to read was a killer! Looking forward to time at the airport and on the plane to read. I'm going to put in my earphones so it looks like I don't want to talk in case I get a chatty seat mate. Lol!

Phew! That's a relief! I know I'll be able to get a few more in by then.

A lot has happened since I last checked the thread. Congratulations on landing your new job, Amanda! I hope you're enjoying it!

God of Small Things is one of my favorite books. I want to reread it.

So cool about the movies! Sad that I don't have HBO. :(

Is the end of Wobble really this Monday? What time would that be on the US eastern time? Still trying to finish my "u" book. It's really good, but I just haven't been able to read with all the family time here in FL.

Laura wrote: "Nanci, that sounds great! Enjoy your book."
Thanks. It's good so far, although it isn't one that I'll read very fast.

Lauri, just requested Furiously Happy from my library. I read her other book and thought it was funny too. Loved the reviews by you and Cecily!
