haha. Common symptoms for book-addiction. Your book sounds like it might be good. My brother keeps trying to convince me to read more serious books/non-fiction but I just don't. Though I have been thinking of trying to read some non-fiction (that isn't part of my literature course ) for some time now. Any suggestions?

Thank you! :)

Lol. will do that :P
Could you also put me down for MMA (been wanting to read this for a while. )
i'll finish my book by tonight and get to these. I was so tired last night but book addict that I am, I took my tablet to bed and i read for.... i want to say 2hrs... but really I dozed of so many times i'll probably have to go back and reread them hhehe.

Uh-oh I mixed up the 2 event - I was jumping into the distance ;) lol. Im reading nobody's child right now for pj. And later if you need a 500+ pages book then let me know and il read wild man. For now im just working on pj. Question- what do I fo after I finish this book?

Could you also put me down for -236 pgs.
and then -528pgs for event 2
(and since wild man is more than 500 pages we get more points right?)

Since all the arms are coming out :P Here's mine-
These are some.. I still have more i think.. and they are all free on kindle (or was free when i got them ; I dont know if they still are) i'd like to read one/two of them and if someone else wants one check em out on amazon :) some might still be free

Baby and All by Paige Warren
6th july
102pages
this goes toward wheel , I think, since I strted it before heat 1 was over.

now I'm off to read my cowboy book :)

Oh and on a completely different note- I have a lot of books with full arms, i.e bare shoulder to fingers. Ive seen atleast 3 books while just scrolling down my list in search of my event 5 book.

btw the link is blocked . I think it lead to the captains' chat group.

It's a good thing you captains have kept the pj for later. because if we read these and see that there isnt enough fights in it to qualify, we can add it to PJ! Nice work Captains! :D :)

Thanx Margaret and Kazen :) I've got these 2 books on hold (and I really want to read them) so I just wanted to confirm that they'll work as coaching otherwise I'll read them now for wheel or later for PJ. the books r- and :) :)

Sam wrote: "Thanks Ella. So I can just read, ..."

Yeah any book u read that is more than 100 pages (among the other wobble rules) can be added to the wheel round. So if u want to read something, go ahead and then post it here once u r done.

Sam wrote: "Kazen, now that I've finished E1, H1 book, can I proceed to my E5 book?"

No. We have to wait till the whole event-1 heat-1 is complete.

Oh and I don't think I understand event 4 and especially since we aren't supposed to discuss...something(not sure what) :/ I'm afraid to even ask questions. lol
About the coaching books, I've found 2 that I really want to read but i've kept on hold. Can we read those books for both coaching and page jumping? because somewhere i read that they must justify the MMA theme enough and while they mention MMA on the book blurb, how will I know if there's enough of it without reading the book??

Did that^^ make sense? i think I'm jumping ahead of time. aren't I?

I'm not sure if this qualifies for any of the wobble tasks , but i'm posting it nonetheless.

I could read for a ROPE in event 5

Welcome to the team, Caly!

Finished
Primal Bonds by Jennifer Ashley
3rd July
event-1; heat-1; leg-2

The book was good but it's book 2 in a different world so it took me some time to get into it and then I had to go back and read the prequel for better understanding so it took me quite some time to finish it. The book was quite interesting though.
