35559 Also, if everyone could give a quick check-in on how you're doing for the end of Round 4, that would be fantastic!

Do you have any more books you plan to add/read? Will you not finish something you have added?

We were way lower than last round in reading, I know being sick and having a holiday really messed me up and I am trying to dig in here at the end.

35559 Round 5 Updates!
This is it, the finale is upon us! Round 5 begins in 2 Days : 6 Hours : 20 Minutes!

Our last word is: TROMBONE, and our Cover Color is YELLOW.

The Bonus Info is as follows:

The instruments have been gathered, genres played, bands formed, and world tours commenced. Now it's time to read the stories, fact and fiction of the musicians.

Read books written by or about musicians. This could be non-fiction about a musician or band; or it could be fiction - in which case the main character(s) should be a professional musician (or aspiring). Someone who plays an instrument for personal pleasure only doesn't count.

Each book read will earn an additional 5 bonus points and a maximum of 10 bonuses.

Here are a few (at first glance) listopia lists for some inspiration:
Best Books about Musicians, Singers, and Bands
Best Books About Music/Musicians
Books about talented female musicians
Books About Music/Musicians

35559 Also, I think it's easy to tell who is a main focus of the book with non-fiction. And we have to be trustworthy to not just make up characters or inflate their parts in fiction, so.... personally I understand the frustration. I love non fiction, but I read much less for Wheels for this reason.

But, rules is rules! We can't win 'em all!

I tend to agree with you. I think the rule was added after issues... but who knows...

I think I might be good for another 25 if I'm lucky. Maybe more if I decide to read a bunch on Christmas? lol

35559 Brittany: How attached are you to reading The Many Lives of Mama Love: A Memoir of Lying, Stealing, Writing, and Healing (Lara Love Hardin) this round? Because it is Non-Fiction, we can't use "characters" at all, so I don't see a letter we can use!
