Do you want us to add books to spreadsheet that we're planning to read, or only add them when we have finished reading?

Hi everyone!

I'm Vikki from Northern Ireland. Been a bookworm all my life. My favourite genres are crime & thriller but I also read fantasy, paranormal, historical fiction, chick lit and I like classics too.
I've taken part in most of the past wheelathons and loved them all.
Looking forward to this one :)

My shelf is wheel6

I've also been looking through the archives and think I've done most of the wheelathons (missed wheel o brown) and tower team challenges. The team names have reminded me of them! Looking forward to this one starting :)

Not 100% sure what time it officially ends but I've just updated with a final book for me

This week has been hectic and stressful. Much as I have wanted to read the book I've listed on Spreadsheet, I just haven't had a chance. Really doubt I'd get it finished by the end of the challenge. Is it more help if I read a shorter book that would be finished before the end? I'm away for a few days from Sunday so will use that break to relax and enjoy The Doll. I've some shorter books I can fit in over next few days

I love these books but like you say, they aren't quick reads. This challenge was the perfect shove in the right direction to finally read this 1. At least I was finally able to get a few days with plenty of reading opportunities to finish it :)

Finally finished A Feast For Crows and updated on spreadsheet :)

I'm still getting through A Feast For Crows but at least I've been making better progress over the past few days :)

So, what are you reading?

I currently have on kindle and on audio. I'm planning on participating on the Cerulea..."

I'm working through

I'm still making my way through Feast For Crows for Jackanory

Sorry to hear that Steven. It's horrible when a lot of bad things happen at worse. I know all I seem to hear at the moment is bad news. Take each day as it comes and take care

Yep! :D"

Stick me down for it then. Good incentive to finally read it!"

Aweso..."

I'll hopefully finish my current book tomorrow, definitely over the weekend, and make a start on this one.

Would this work for the fancy cup?

I have to admit I like the idea of an axe throwing bar lol

For the 1st person POV does it have to be the whole book or is part ok? The book I just finished (Sleepless) is part 1st person POV (probably around half of the book)
If it needs to be whole book I'll scroll and see what other tasks it might fit

Scotland did better than Northern Ireland to make it there. It's like my second home so I'll be cheering them on tomorrow. I'm loving watching all these matches :) The only 1 I didn't see part of was the Portugal match on Tuesday

I assume you need to read a book since the start of the challenge in order to get any points for answering BOM questions? I read Midnight Library in February so too recently for re-read.
