Know the feeling... I used to be a developer... And let me tell you that is way more fun to detect bugs than to fix them!

YEY our first book. And a "U". Nice work Stacie!
I ended up finding an older Macy Blake series (originally written with another name) so, I started that book. Too bad I was so exhausted I only managed to read 30 pages or so before crashing.

Live theatre sounds so much cooler than software testing :)
I live on the other side of the Atlantic, so, you being a night owl means that I won't be as alone in the morning... maybe. Work tends to be pretty busy till 11 AM around here.

Ughhh that is not a good weekend. Hope you're on the way of a speedy recovery.
Happy readings everybody!!!!!
20 Minutes to go!And I haven't picked a book to start yet... I am slightly panicking... just a smidge!
47 minutes!!!So exciting
Meanwhile... 4h and 33 minutes to go!!!*claps hands excitedly*
I'm pretty sure I'm more in a I-just-read-28-books-in-the-same-universe-and-I'm-kinda-of-lost mood. LOLConspiracy of Dragons was released last week, maybe I'll try that one. Not sure yet. The one I wanted from Louisa Masters (Ghostly Guardian #3) is not out yet. Same as for KM Neuhold or Mia Monroe or Taylor Ryan.
Oh well... I'll find something. I always do.
Yeah, know the feeling, I was planning on finishing
last night and starting
today, since it has a couple of letters we can use.What did I do instead? I managed to finish Gideon before dinner. So, obviously, I *had* to start Aleron at bedtime. Even if I was sleepy, and I had this nagging headache. Why? Because it was the last book published on that universe (there are another 3 planned for next year for the three on going series) and I was pretty sure I'd be sad to let it go and and... and I wanted to read it, damn it!
Anyway... I ended up going to sleep at 3 AM - not my smartest move, but one I do at least once a month - and now I am annoyed that I need to re-think what to read next and nothing kind of whispers to me.... being a mood reader sucks sometimes!

Nope. One book read = One letter. That means you can use the same books twice, if two members of your team read it.
LaurLa wrote: "Too bad there isn't an extra bonus for reading the books we're spelling out that round!"Now you did it. I'm pretty sure the powers that be already are taking notes!
Btw, I thought the same thing. But regarding team names. And now you made me do it too!
*harrumphs*
*waves to E*
Anyway, Team Cemetery Boys got same spelling, so, we might get some peekaboo at each others spreadsheets. Just a heads up, our three captains are lgbt readers, so, our E's and space-opera books may have that tag too (I know mine have)
E, we're taking a page of your book and using completion posts only.
I'll start!My name is Sonia, and I'm from Lisbon, Portugal. Wheelathon is my favorite challenge, and I have played them all.
My favorite genres are Urban Fantasy, MM and Romantic suspense. Combine the three and you have a very happy Sonia. My guilty pleasure at the moment are the KU MM Paranormal books. Specially if they have fated mates or mpreg (or both). I did said it was a guilty pleasure, not a prize winner read.
Space opera or sci-fi in general are not my cup of tea, but I did some research and added these to my list
On a side note, I had a job change on June, and am a little busier than I used to, but, I'm usually around during business hours. nights and weekends not so much, but since the challenge is fast and furious paced (as Lisa put it), I'm going to try to be around a little more.
Welcome Team!
We (Sonia, Apoorv and Lisa) are you captains for the fast and furious next 5 weeks. Please take a moment to introduce yourselves, a little about who you are, what you like to read and where you are from. Oh and your shelf for the challenge. That will helps us a lot.
Our first spell-out is The Last House on Needless Street and our color is Red. We can only have 5 books with this color to get 25 extra points. We can also get extra points for Space Opera. They have to have at least 10 tags to get the points.
Given the short time frame, we are going with Completion Posts only. Please use something like the following so we can get the appropriate information:
