I believe the points won't show up until each leg is finished, although someone can correct me if I'm wrong about that. I've only read the rules about a thousand times, but I still can't remember everything. LOL.

Everyone in both heats can start reading at the same time, thank goodness.

My head hurts from reading so much today. It's going to be nice to take a break tonight. Maybe I'll *gasp* turn the TV on.

Yum! I'm coming over. We can sit together in silence and eat and read.

Okay, Heats One and Two of Event One: Title Relay are completely filled in.

Here are the books that everyone is scheduled to read:
Shannon: Enslaved by Blood, Fire Demon, In the Red, Spell of the Predator's Moon, Ice Man
Becky: Blood Trail, Rising Tides, Spell Booked, Fire and Ice
Bonita: Trail of the Spanish Bit, Tides of War, First Things First
Jingles: The Ice Queen
Vicky: Queen of Fire, Dark Heir
Ediali: Fire and Ice
Minx: Ice like Fire, Death Walked In, Moon Spell, Man Riding West
Chelsea: The Game of Love and Death
Cora: Red Rising
Joanne: War is Not Over When It's Over..., Girl in the Dark
Margaret: First Comes Love
Amy: Love, Stargirl
Laurence: The Infinite Sea
Catherine: Sea Spell
Chloe: The Good Girl
Sarah: Heir of Fire

Could everyone check their names on this list and make sure that they will be able to find a copy of these books and read them for the first event? I'll cross names off as people post.

Yeah I knew when I saw that I had a winner. Topic is something I'd like to read and not too long either.

Found one!

War Is Not Over When It's Over: Women and the Consequences of Conflict

A lot of the books I'm finding are military history types with many, many pages and that sounds so boring to me. Something fiction would be preferable. I like non-fiction but only in a book I choose for myself.

There's nothing on my TBR starting with "war". Can anyone recommend something good to me that's SHORTish?

You're the best!

Copied from the rules:

"Work as a team to Relay books to each other as you race towards the finish. Titles of books must have no fewer than 2 words. Work with your team to relay titles along from player to player."

So unfortunately that won't work. I know, this is hard. I'm still looking too.

Catherine wrote: "Can I still post books for Battleship?"

Sorry the deadline passed 20 minutes ago.

I know. I could not get anything to work (I did search my own tbr and had nothing) so now I just picked the biggest Listopia I could find and am doing Control+F to search for the word.

Bonita wrote: "Oops! I'll try again."

I know it took my brain reading it three times to realize your book wouldn't work.

Bonita wrote: "I can also read It Must Be Your Love by Bella Andre."

We're looking for a match for "first"

Bonita wrote: "I can read Tides of War by Stella Tillyard."

Yay, that's perfect. Now we just need War and we'll have our full leg.

Sigh* I have about 45 pages left in the book I was hoping to finish...

It will have to be saved for Wheel-a-thon.

I finished First Grave on the Right for C3

Wow, impressive Jingles!

Finished In Her Wake for H7
