35559 I know. That message made me realize there must be some major drama going on in other teams. Normally i would go hunting to find out what it is, cuz I'm a snoop like that, but instead I plan on doing nothing but reading for the next 3 days. Which is probably a better idea anyway.

Phew thanks for checking in jingles. I noticed you have two door-stoppers there so its good to hear you have them under control.

35559 I'm currently reading my 301-350 page book (about 50% done), although it could be used for Book in the Distance as the title is Lead. I moved it to page jumping because I wasn't sure anyone would have a chance to read a 401-500 page book to complete that category.

35559 Here is the Countdown for the end of Olympics. All bonus books need to be finished and on your wobble shelf by this time

Good luck everyone.

35559 If anyone is listed for some bonus books that they no longer think they will have time to finish by the deadline, please post here as soon as you can so someone else can try to pick something up. Please don't wait until its too late to replace it. If we have a hole in our chain we won't get points for any of the books after it (and possibly any of the books in that heat at all)

35559 Well I am not nearly as quick as you and some others on the team, but I am committed to finishing 2 books and I'm gonna try really really hard to squeeze in a third short one if I can.

Being a 3 book/week reader normally, this is a real challenge for myself.

You'll love the Harry Potter series, I haven't read it in years but once you get to the end of the series you'll be very surprised and happy.

There's a new Harry Potter ..."


Just need you to put your book on your wobble shelf please Chloe

35559 Heading to bed. Crossing my fingers for an early morning post tomorrow that bonus rounds are open and ready to go.

35559 Minx we still can't start until Chloe finishes her book but at this point it HAS to be soon. So assuming its in tomorrow morning we're basically deciding if its still worth it to try for bonus.

I agree we might as well try. Any heats that we cant finish, we can just not submit in spreadsheet and move to bank at the end of Olympics.

35559 Becky, I would say start with heat 4 though. In case we don't have time to do both rounds, that one gives more points. Also in case no one claims those empty spots in heat three.

35559 Well I'm Canadian (obviously) so in my opinion, centre, theatre, colour, neighbour, doughnut, etc is the correct way of spelling. Just looks wrong otherwise.

LOL. I just updated all my individual long-term challenges from other groups and picked my next book based on filling a few spots from those long-neglected (since the start of wobble) challenges.

I had a book slotted in for Bonus Page Jumping but I'm going to start it now instead. I need a light romance after a couple of heavy/serious books. I removed it from the spreadsheet.

35559 Aaack, how am I supposed to decide what to read next? Too many choices. This is why I do challenges, to help narrow down.
