Ah, I had recorded them, but didn't add your name to the list, having assumed (wrongly) you were already on it! Sorry about that!

Anyway, your name is now on the door, and you have participation in the following recorded:
- May Adult
- June Adult
- June Theme
- July Adult

So, using three tokens for an extra entry: you've one token left :)

Sammy wrote: "Can we use extra entries? If so, can I add an extra please, as I have a heap of credits 😁"

You can, but as you haven't historically done summary posts claiming as you go, there's no records for quick fix. Post your historical claims here & I'll get them credits to you and used for entry(s) :)

Game for those who are waiting for Wheel to start, or just because you want to:

Starting Spin

100-250 pages

r

Just for fun while waiting for Wheelathon 8 to begin (although you can keep going after that)


We will start with a mod wheel spin.
The first person to be currently reading a book that fits that spin posts the title of the book AND the first song to pop into their music app/system of choice and attempts to create a connection between them.
They then spin the wheel for the next person

EXAMPLE:
The spin is 251-400 pages
Karen is currently reading Magic triumphs at 327 pages
The first song to pop up in her 'discovery list' on Amazon music today is "Closer" by "The Chainsmokers"


Karen posts:
Currently reading:
Listening to: "Closer" by "The Chainsmokers"
Connecting as Kate and Roland are getting closer to war and it doesn't look good!

Karen then spins the wheel for the next person on the thread.

Rules:
*You can't have two turns in a row
*Have fun
*If you have posted your book to match a spin, but then later a different spin matches your book and you haven't finished it yet, go on ahead and use it again. Your song should be different though ;)
