Yay for bonus books!!

We have to finish spelling out BONES. So it looks like we need N, E, and S.

Unless anyone is behind in their books and need Natalie to fill in their letters?

I actually had checked out The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein from the library, but returned it after reading all the negative reviews. I don't think it's something I would enjoy. I'm considering biting the bullet and reading for this challenge at some point but ehhh

I really liked Crazy Rich Asians. It's so funny! But not something I want to reread if you know what I mean.

Cathy M. wrote: "I usually try to do all the BOMs just because they are extra points :P"

The other BOM is and I don't really want to read it. But I guess as team captain I should suck it up, huh?

I refuse to reread There are so many other books I need to get to :P

🎃Natalie🎃 wrote: "How do the hardest letters work?"

They are automatically tallied and the team that does the most wins a special title

Cathy M. wrote: "Actually you CAN read it before the start of the BOM. As long as you started it after Wheel started (27th) and you answer the DQs daily (or whatever the schedule they pick for it), you can get poin..."

Thanks for clarifying Cathy! Anyone else reading the BOM? Participate!!

And to answer DQs, you need to have read it for this challenge. I asked if I can answer DQs for Crazy Rich Asians since I read it last year, and the mods said I would have to reread it, which I don't want to do so I won't be answering those DQs.

You have to read it during BOM and when it fits in your word of the week.

And yes, not everyone gets to write DQs, so I would volunteer from now.

I did that for Bones too. Only worth 5 points, but I am also reading it for a different challenge

Sarah wrote: "Right that’s my question. I’m not sure if it’s the hardback or paperback yet. Guess I’ll see when I get to the library!"

Ohhh, yeah you will have to see what you're getting

Your supposed to log the edition that you actually read..

Yeah I can read one per day. A longer book takes me 2-3 but it’s more points. Idk what’s more beneficial..
