Oh, great timing, I was just coming here to check the end date.

I was thinking about saving mine for TW, but it's a low score and would only work as a .01 multiplier so...

I'm finishing a Y book today

I'm the same way. I have pretty bad ADHD so I try to supply myself with choices.

Okay, makes sense. Mercy does not count then.

Me too! My mom recommended the series to me years ago and I'm trying to savor it, haha!

Actually wait, are we going by start date or finish date?

Could I get a second pair of eyes on a cover? I just finished but I can't decide if my eyes are right (white) or Tineye is (gray).

Woohoo! I've been waiting more impatiently than my dogs in a Starbucks line.

If wheel runs like Towers, when you sign up, that is your minimum. If you read more, cool. If you don't, already calculated in lol

Welcome Lindsay!

Have a wonderful time, Suzanne!

I am currently doing this, Turf Wars, Life, Monster Hunt, Titan Round Up, Halloween Round Up, Hitchhiker's Guide, and Star Trek Missions. Somehow, it has been working out pretty well!

I have at least one white cover.

Hello friends! I'm more of a rock girly, but Aersomith bridged that gap with Run DMC around the time I was born, so hey, so can I.

I'm from Michigan and am surrounded by chaos (I'm getting pretty good at it now lol). I read a little bit of everything, but my happy place is horror and psychological thrillers.

This is my first wheel but not my first team challenge. I'm looking forward to it!

My shelf is here: Wheel-o-Music 8.

Starter Villain by John Scalzi

Following the bestselling The Kaiju Preservation Society, John Scalzi returns with Starter Villain, another unique sci-fi caper set in the strangest of all worlds, present-day Earth.

Inheriting your mysterious uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might imagine.

Sure, there are the things you'd expect. The undersea volcano lairs. The minions. The plots to take over the world. The international networks of rivals who want you dead.

Much harder to get used to...are the the sentient, language-using, computer-savvy cats.

And the fact that in the overall organization, they're management...

Me: I joined too many team challenges at once!
Also me: Team challenge?! *stalks sign up thread*

The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band by Neil Strauss

Whiskey and porn stars, hot reds and car crashes, black leather and high heels, overdoses and death. This is the life of Mötley Crüe, the heaviest drinking, hardest fighting, most oversexed and arrogant band in the world. Their unbelievable exploits are the stuff of rock 'n' roll legend. They nailed the hottest chicks, started the bloodiest fights, partied with the biggest drug dealers, and got to know the inside of every jail cell from California to Japan. They have dedicated an entire career to living life to its extreme, from the greatest fantasies to the darkest tragedies. Tommy married two international sex symbols; Vince killed a man and lost a daughter to cancer; Nikki overdosed, rose from the dead, and then OD'd again the next day; and Mick shot a woman and tried to hang his own brother. But that's just the beginning. Fueled by every drug they could get their hands on and obscene amounts of alcohol, driven by fury and headed straight for hell, Mötley Crüe raged through two decades, leaving behind a trail of debauched women, trashed hotel rooms, crashed cars, psychotic managers, and broken bones that has left the music industry cringing to this day. All these unspeakable acts, not to mention their dire consequences, are laid bare in The Dirt.

Here -- directly from Nikki, Vince, Tommy, and Mick -- is the unexpurgated version of the whole glorious, gut-wrenching story. In these pages, published for the first time anywhere, are Tommy Lee's letters to Pamela Anderson from prison: Mick's confession to having an incurable disease that is slowly killing him; Vince's experience burying his own daughter -- and the train wreck that his life became afterward; and Nikki's anguished struggle to deal with an entire life fueled by anger over his childhood abandonment, his discovery of the family he never knew he had -- and his subsequent loss of them. And all of it accompanied by scores of rare, never-before-published photographs, mug shots, and handwritten lyrics. No one is spared. Not David Lee Roth, Ozzy Osbourne, Vanity, Aerosmith, Heather Locklear, AC/DC, Lita Ford, Iron Maiden, Pamela Anderson, Guns N' Roses, Donna D'Errico, RATT, or those two girls from Dallas, Texas.

Make no mistake about it: these guys are geniuses. They invented glam metal and then left it in the dust; sold more than forty million albums from Shout at the Devil to Dr. Feelgood; toured the world dozen times and have the scars to prove it; and maintained a rabid following in an era of throwaway pop stars. Mötley Crüe has done nothing less than tattoo the psyche of the entire MTV generation. They are the ultimate rock 'n' roll band. And if you don't believe it, read The Dirt. You don't know what decadence is...

This was an awesome experience. 10/10 for Team Towers X!

You all rocked.

*hands over her Mercenary coupon* Lady Ysmay, we have a date with a few monsters.
