I was thinking this was either/or. Duh. Just checking to see if the arm book is acceptable. The rules are very strict about having the ENTIRE arm visible and I'm not sure if too much of the fingers is hidden behind that belt end.

I'll put you down for Maybe Baby if that's ok since tools seems like the harder one to cover.

Got your The Cowboy Imports a Bride down for Page Jumping

Ok you only had The Good Girl for the first event, so your portion of that is done.

We're waiting on two more people to finish their books for that first part before the whole team can move on to other events.

There are two required events that everyone has to pick for (but can't start reading for yet) and I've got a book for you for one of them (Under Siege for Page Jumping), but need one more book chosen for you for the Building a Chariot Event.

For that one, here are the options:
Animal on cover
Tool for building a chariot on cover
Wheel on cover
Plains on cover
Number 12 on cover
Title is 12 letters long

Also I noticed you finished Confessions of a Queen B* since battleship ended. I just need any main character names for that book and any others you finish during Olympics that don't work for Olympic events.

Make sense?

Let me check what we need for you Chloe, give me a sec.

@Vicky You can add me for the page jumping leg with Breathe, Annie,..."

Be sure to let us know about the book you're finishing today. We can use it for wheel-a-thon. We just need to know title, author and character names.

I added you in for the categories you mentioned (page jumping and full person on the cover) for Breathe, Annie, Breathe and The Bachelor.

You now have a book for each of the required categories :)

Soon enough we should all be able to start reading for these categories.

That book looks really good Ediali. Can't wait to hear how you like it.

I'm not sure what is the best way to organise those, because you're right, we have to do them in order so we need to know when each sprint is done. Sending a PM is probably a good idea.

Minx, Are both of your books on paper?

LOL. I found a few things to tide me over until dinner.

You're reminding me that's it 1:43pm and all I've eaten today is a hard-boiled egg.

I need to go find some food!

Great job so far everyone!

Only 5 more books to go and we'll be done Event 1: Heat 1 and can open up all the rest of the events.

Go team Go!

It was a good book and very important. I don't think a lot of people would want to read it though. Some of the descriptions (mostly of rape) where so graphic I felt nauseated. I did rate it 5 stars though and I am glad I read it. I appreciate the support though :)

If anyone has finished any books since the end of battleship that can't be used for Olympics, they can be used for Wheel-a-thon so please post in this thread with Title, Author and Main Character names so we can keep track of character names for later.

So I can not read anything more for the next olympic challenges until we complete heat 1 correct?

In that case I am going to keep readi..."

You can keep reading. When you finish a book, make a post here with the title, author, and any main characters so we can use it for wheel-a-thon.

Finished War Is Not Over When It's Over: Women and the Consequences of Conflict for Heat 1. That chapter on Congo just tore me apart. On to something a little lighter.

So after I posted here about how I had to take a break from my book, I went and finished a book I had started at the end of battleship but not finished in time for the deadline. So here is the info so it can be used for Wheel

Title: The Rogue Not Taken
Author: Sarah MacLean
MCs: Sophie Talbot, King

Go Catherine Go! You can do it!

I'm 55% done my book but its so depressing and rage-inducing that I need to take a break for awhile.

Was just on my library's overdrive website and they have the new Harry Potter play coming out in July up as a pre-release that people can start putting holds on. So excited because I am only #4 in line!

Just had to come here and share that exciting news.
