I listened to Bunny on audio and I ended up liking it! It took me a while to listen to it though. I was creeped out at some points and it took a bit to wrap my head around the story

Round 4 Update

So here's another update for those who need some guidance on what to read for round 4

We've done 5 read throughs of our word.

For the rest of the read throughs we need:
6: T
7: T, S, M
8: T, R, S, M
9: T, O, R, S, M
10: T, O, R, I, S, M

Or is other words

T: 5
O: 2
U: 0
R: 3
I: 1
S: 4
M: 4

So 19 more books to complete 10 read throughs. Then ideally an I, O and U for read through #11.

Tags
Tiger
Safari
Desert
Africa
Indigenous

We also need 4 more books with the tags to get the tag bonus points. If you haven't checked to see if your book has one of those tags, then please do so. Let us know if you/we missed a tag, so we can add it in.
If you've got a 'to-read' book with a tag but don't think you'll read it, please change it so we know how many more books we need to find/read with a tag.

That's all fine Suzanne! We'll be around. I hope camping is fun! (:

I thought I'd give you guys a quick update on how we're going with the spell-out.

We've finished 3 read throughs so far!

We have the following to read for in the next read throughs:

Read through 4 = T, U, R, S, M

5 = T, U, R, S, M

6 = T, U, R, S, I, M

We still have heaps of time so keep reading what you want. We can do another update next week at the start or middle and let you guys know what's needed if you want


BOTM

A reminder that Pachihko starts in a few days. Unfortunately no one from our team got chosen to write DQ. Ah well

There's still time to nominate to write DQ for Spin the Dawn or to find yourself a copy

I’ll go change it out now."

Thanks Trinia! The rules don't specifically say to add the edition you read into the challenge shelf so I kinda get the confusion between adding an audiobook version and a default version :P
All good though!

Hey Trinia, we need to have the edition you read in the wheelathon shelf. You have the hardcover version in it instead

Let us know when you've added the audio to the shelf :)
