Dance Party!

Finished my other book for Event 1.

Amy that book title is hilarious!

This one is at the end of a chain so at long as the title starts with "love" and is at least 2 words long, it will work.

Chloe, If you need to think about it and don't want to worry about it today, that's fine. You can get back to us later.

I thought that this was my next book we chose for the next event?

as for event 5 did a horse or something have to be on the cover? sorry,..."

Yes we have you for Under Siege for Event 2.

Events 2 and 5 are required and can be started at same time, so now we just need a book for 5 for you.

Options for 5 are:
Animal on cover
Tool to build a chariot on cover (saw, hammer, etc)
Wheel on cover (from car, bike, etc)
Plains on cover

For each of the options, the full item must be visible (except "plains" of course)

No don't be sorry :)

Suggestions and ideas are always welcome.

Laurence, I'm sorry. I don't think works for arm on cover as it needs to be a full arm visible from shoulder to fingertips.

Same thing for the horse book, needs to have the full animal visible.

Your wheel book works, but we have you down for a book already for the Chariot event (The Bachelor). Everyone needs to have one book for that event and there are still some people who haven't chosen yet, so we're trying to wait until they have before someone takes a second book.

If you'd prefer to read Quoi qu'il arrive instead of The Bachelor, we can switch it out though.

You mean 201-250?

Got you down Amy. Now you're set also!

That'll do it for you. You're ready to go once we get the OK to start our books.

Okay Team,

Vicky will let us know when she's done, but sounds like it will be today, so keep checking back here for the news of when the gates will open and you all can start reading your one book for each of Events 2 and 5. You can read for the other events too, but please focus on those ones (and your book for Event 1: Title Relay if you're still working on it) first as they're crucial for everyone to get a book in for.

Please check the spreadsheet to make sure that you're down for a book in Event 2: Page Jumping and Event 5: Building a Chariot and if you're not, claim a spot and let us know what you'd like to read. If you need help choosing, post here. We'll work something out, I promise.

At the moment, several people have not made a choice for at least one of the required categories. If your name is on this list your choices are in and you're ready to go. Everyone else, please check the spreadsheet and ask if you're not sure what is still needed for you.

Go Vicky go! I feel for her as I hate yard work myself. Hopefully the audiobook helps it to seem more fun.

That's perfect Laurence. Thanks.

Chloe I'm so sorry about your friend. Today must be a very difficult day for you. I understand the need to take a little time. Hope to see you back here soon.

Whoop!

We've now finished 21/30 of books needed for Event One.

Once we open the gates we're going to tear this challenge apart!

LOL.

Happy Independence Day!

Ok I'll mark down those characters for your finished book. When you finish Love and the Markets, you can post here to let us know.

Under Siege works for Event 2: Page Jumping, but you still need a book for Event 5: Building a Chariot. If you look at the spreadsheet under the Primary Events tab you'll see which options are still open for that. I also listed them above in Post 1317.

It doesn't look like there is any spot for Dorothy Must Die: Stories right now. Can you see any open spaces on the spreadsheet you think it would work?

Looks like works for the full arm, so I will put you down for that one too Bonita.

Laurence wrote: "I'm starting The infinite sea right now :)"

Sounds good!

I noticed from your books tab in the spreadsheet that you read The Matchmaker? We can use it for wheel-a-thon if you let me know who the main characters were.
