Ok perfect!!

Also is there a website that can determine % of a color? My computer is weird (old) and sometimes things look off. Such as this book looks dark purple on my screen, but I feel like it is probably black haha



And this has purple, but no idea if it's 50%

Hi team! Rebecca here from flooded NY and finally seeing the sun today! I manage and work in a research lab so my days fluxuate a lot between insanely busy and pretty mild. I always have an audiobook going....as long as I don't get too many interruptions from the 30 people in the group.

I love these challenges and cannot wait to dive into another one! I have a 3 year old and a 9 month old, so I definitely don't get as much reading as I like, but always try to squeeze in any amount of pages whenever I can, so it's hard to predict how much I can read in a given week.

I read a LOT of mysteries (especially cozies), thrillers, some HF and some romance. Since we start in October I anticipate mostly mysteries because it's spoooooky season. I also probably drink way too much coffee haha.

I love classical music. It's my go-to when I want to concentrate or read because I can't handle silence. The last year of getting my Masters degree, Spotify told me that Vivaldi was my most played artist hahaha.

So excited to play and chat books and everything else with you all!


>>> my shelf! Wheel8

Amazing job everyone especially our amazing captains! I had so much fun and read way more than I usually do!!

I finished my last 2 books over the weekend. I can't wait to see how everything plays out!

I'm working on a short book that has a cat as one of the "main" characters that could also work. I will be done by the end of the work day (will also keep track for characters)

Read a book where the page numbers add to 5 (i.e. 345 pages = 3+4+5 = 12)"

The book I'm currently reading works for this, if it's not needed for letters.
Mrs. Porter Calling - 320

I just finished an I book - posted now.

Read a book you can connect to elves
Yours Cheerfully - banked

As Ruby announced that her cup belonged to an elf. - page 130

I'm reading a book now that can be swapped for the E if needed.

Awesome! I just wanted to make sure I'm helping the best way possible haha. I can't believe we're in the final days!!

Does it make most sense at this point to finish the tower spell-it-out words since we get a20 point bonus for completion?

We have 8 more days! We got this!

If all the “tasks” are assigned for now I can focus on the words to spell. I just finished a V book and I need to decide which book to start tonight…

Read a book with a princess and rogue trope characters

-how specific do you think this has to be? The book I just finished (The Puzzle Master) has a woman locked in jail and a random puzzle master determined to set her free?

Or I can read Thornhedge that looks like it might fit, but I want to make sure.

My previously read book Speak of the Devil could be used for: Clio (History) - goes back into the history of each character, or Melpomene (Tragedy)

My book The Summer Girl could be used for comedy since it's a romcom (tagged 11 times)

Finished and posted Towards Zero to finish Wheel 13

Finished Zero Days for W13b. Still waiting on Toward Zero from the library. Had an audible credit so I got the audiobook and starting now.

Ooh I can also try to read Towards Zero if no one else has a book they'd like to use. I just have to wait to get it from the library.

Spin 11 - Tower Teams 1: The Original

I'm going to read an Agatha Christie next if that works for this - if anyone is interested in a spinoff.

I'm reading Zero Days so "Days" could be useful? Maybe? Also The Summer Girl (which I was going to use for the 400 page if needeD)

I will be starting a 400 page audiobook tomorrow so I'll track characters for the spell it out, also have a 200 page book on deck after that. Most of my books are in the 300s haha
