I'm trying to finish one more book before I start reading for WheelAre you ready??
Hello! I was away from my house for work the last 3 days, but now I'm back, thanks Christina for setting things up. In my first post is the link to our planning spreadsheet, I'll start planning for myself tonight 🤩
Hello everyone and welcome to Wheel-a-ton!! I'm Paula, from Chile, I'm 31 y-o and I'm a chemical engineer working on mining and environmental consultancy 😬 the end of a month is always crazy at work, so I'm sorry I couldn't post earlier.
With Andrea and Christina we'll be captains of our team for this challenge. Tell us about yourself, have you played before?

About this Challenge
◈ Starts on 9 October and runs for 10 weeks (ending 16 December)
◈ The start / end time for each round will be 9pm UK time
◈ The team with the highest points at the end of the game wins!
◈ Each fortnight the mods will “spin the wheel" and assign each team a word
◈ The team's task is to read books to spell out the word, gaining points per letter tiered by the book length (see below)
◈ Once teams have read their word for the week they can "re-read" the word to gain more letter points.
◈ Only one incomplete spell-out is allowed.
◈ Only books STARTED after the challenge begins can count
◈ Books must be at least 160 pages in length.
Point System
◈ Books less than 160 pages = 0 points
◈ Books between 160 and 1000 pages = 0.1 points/page
◈ Books over 1000 pages = 100 points
(points will be rounded up/down from 0.5 as per standard maths)
Over Reading Penalties
If, as a team, you over-read compared to your sign-ups then a penalty will be applied to your page points
%age

0-109% 1 * page points
110-124% 0.9 * page points
125-149% 0.8 * page points

Hola!, don't worry, tomorrow I'll check everything
Enjoy your vacation and thank you!!!

Gem - you just need to fill in the story for Jackanory. I was looking at some of the other team's stories and some of them..."
That's excellent!!

Vicious is my favorite by her so far.
But I really liked This Savage Song and Our Dark Duet too
Melissa wrote: "So do we need a cat shifter book? Or does Brittany’s book work? I could always give one a try!"It wasn't clear to me if the main character was a cat shifter in Brittany's books.
So I'm no t sure
Melissa wrote: "Maddy wrote: "Melissa wrote: "Here is what we have left:MC cat shifter - someone is reading for this but Brittany has a book we can use as backup

Ugh. sorry, sorry. Life is a bit nuts right no..."
McGonagall wouldn't work, because she's not the MC in the HP books =/
Melissa wrote: "All the books posted have been updated to here. I'm working on the spreadsheet now."I added Mamacita's books to the tracker too

Mamacita aka wrote: "Sorry ya'll I thought it was over.So what how you want the books under the tracker? Since all the tasks are done? Just for page count?"
Yes! in the Books sheet please!
not urgent, I just wanted to make sure that we'll have it covered by the end of the challenge =)
