First Labour: Hercules has to slay a lion - Find a book with a weapon on the cover (knife, sword, bow and arrow, etc)Second Labour: Hercules keeps cutting the heads off a Hydra and they keep coming back - Read a book from a long series (series has at least 10 books in it)
Third Labour: Hercules begs Artemis' forgiveness for capturing her animal - Read a book that starts with the letter "A" (not counting A, An or The)

I like all of these. Sometimes challenges are so specific that they're hard to read for, but these are all things I could find options for easily.
I like the idea of opening up a Bonus Round of Title Relay.Hmmm as for that task... this is going to take some thought. Anyone have any ideas?
Go Catherine Go! Yay!If it helps you choose what to read next, our main priorities would be a book between 100 and 200 pages or a book with something decorative on the cover (flowers, ribbon, tattoos, etc) that we could use to decorate our chariot. Otherwise, read anything and we'll bank it for wheelathon.
I should finish my chariot book
soon and then all I will have is an audio, so I'm going to take one of the remaining Page Jumping spots and read
next. It has 198 pages

Hi Ediali, can you add this one to your WOBBLE shelf please? :)
LOL. I know, I put some thought into my book too.Luckily I've done timed reading before so I knew my reading speed pretty well (and turns out I was spot on with my estimate) so I just picked a book in a series I like so I could be sure that it wouldn't be hard to get into. Didn't want to have to slow down to figure out the characters/world-building.

Ok got you in the spreadsheet. Happy reading!
Bemused Bookworm wrote: "Finished my title relay book, First Comes Love. BTW, does anyone know the last day for the Olympian reads?"Sounds good. Heat 1 is finished so all events are open. You're free to start any of your claimed books for the other events now.
I'm not sure exactly when it ends (we should get a countdown clock near the end) but its supposed to go for 3 weeks. We're aiming for everyone to hopefully finish their required books (Events 2 and 5) in 2 weeks (July 16) or sooner if possible so we can open up some bonus rounds for the last week.
