~~~N~~~ (chocolate-cannibal-bunnies) | 616 comments WHAT?


message 1053: by ~~~N~~~ (new)

~~~N~~~ (chocolate-cannibal-bunnies) | 616 comments When did it start, because I only started that book I just listed and hour and twenty minutes ago exactly.


message 1054: by ~~~N~~~ (new)

~~~N~~~ (chocolate-cannibal-bunnies) | 616 comments And I have a paper to write, so I'll be up for a while. Maybe after I'll start Never Never.


kat (wanderfulbooks) (wanderfulbooks) | 2329 comments Hi Noa! Olympics has started already, over an hour ago. You can check the final list on the spreadsheet and can start reading :)

Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon AKA NixieNut  (sapphireddragon) | 1397 comments 2 hours ago - but if it doesn't form part of one of the relay legs for event 1 then it can't count for olympics at all as we have to finish event 1 before we can start reading for the other events so anything else we read in the mean time is a hold over for wheelathon

edit: heat one must be completed before we can look at reading other things for other events


message 1057: by ~~~N~~~ (new)

~~~N~~~ (chocolate-cannibal-bunnies) | 616 comments Okay, sorry! I'll start after I finish typing this up


Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon AKA NixieNut  (sapphireddragon) | 1397 comments no worries Noa I did the same thing went over to check the count down and took me a moment to realise the start time had passed and the count down was now counting up LOL

What are you working on? I remember the days when I was writing my thesis... and I spent more time playing PC games than actually writing.

~~~N~~~ (chocolate-cannibal-bunnies) | 616 comments A literature review of Funny in Farsi. It's for a freshman class, even though I've already taken the two classes above it, but I need the credit for my degree.


message 1062: by ~~~N~~~ (new)

~~~N~~~ (chocolate-cannibal-bunnies) | 616 comments I don't play many games, but I do motivate myself by reading between assignments ;) What do you do and what is/are your degree(s) in?


message 1063: by ~~~N~~~ (new)

~~~N~~~ (chocolate-cannibal-bunnies) | 616 comments Actually, what does everyone do? I think all I know is that Gillian and Rebecca work in the Postal services

~~~N~~~ (chocolate-cannibal-bunnies) | 616 comments I'm a full-time nursing student. Right now, I'm not working, but I had two jobs during the school year.

Viji | 389 comments I started Road Closed by Leigh Russell by Leigh Russellfor Heat 1.

Elspeth | 101 comments Finished Never Never. Not sure what to work on next!

Skandia (sfgirl) | 1724 comments Elspeth - if you have a book ending with "edge" , go ahead with my spot


message 1069: by Ange (new)

Ange (bentleyrise) | 484 comments Noa I work as a secretary in a law firm, not as stuffy as it sounds we have lots of fun.

Finished Never Never. Which I liked.

Starting Alice in Zombieland today.


message 1070: by Ange (new)

Ange (bentleyrise) | 484 comments Elspeth - You could also read Night Road as I have another book I can start reading.

I will read Postcards from the Edge!


message 1072: by Ange (new)

Ange (bentleyrise) | 484 comments Ha I have so many unfinished series, what's one more. I'll be adding another series too with Alice in Zombieland, which after reading for an hour, is another high school romance book. I can only read so much young adult books before I get sick of them. Hope the next book is more meatier. Feel like reading a horror or adult fantasy.

You'll be able to use the other two books for wheelathon right?


message 1073: by Ange (new)

Ange (bentleyrise) | 484 comments Yeah do completion posts for all 3 books, and choose wheelathon for the task for the last two.


message 1074: by Ange (new)

Ange (bentleyrise) | 484 comments I had heard the ending was a bit sucky so that's why I'm not in a hurry to finish it.


Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon AKA NixieNut  (sapphireddragon) | 1397 comments Morning all :-)

Should get Good Girl finished today then hopefully never never by either tonight or tomorrow at the latest. being a Sunday, my 4 year old doesn't like to leave me alone for very long so that limits the reading time :-P

I work in fitness administration currently though may be looking at a career change by the end of the year


Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon AKA NixieNut  (sapphireddragon) | 1397 comments I too have heard a few people ranting about the ending for never never so I will see what i think after the first part on whether i continue :-)


kat (wanderfulbooks) (wanderfulbooks) | 2329 comments Good morning!!!!

Please don't forget to add them to your wobble shelves with date started and date finished. :)

And I feel the same way Ange. What's another series to add on that "series to finish" list ;)

yes but its heat 2 i can't start that till all heat 1 is finished or is that wrong?


message 1081: by Ange (new)

Ange (bentleyrise) | 484 comments No heat 1 and 2 can be read at same time, I'm reading my heat 2 book. :)


message 1082: by Ashley (new)

Ashley | 1439 comments Okay I'm here and I'll start playing catch up :) I'll run through posts and do updates and what not. I have a solid hour just for this and reading Never Never. I'll see what I can do to get you a book Gillian


message 1083: by Ange (new)

Ange (bentleyrise) | 484 comments Heres the rule Gillian - "Books for all 3 legs of Heats 1 & 2 may be started/read at the same times"


message 1084: by Gillian (new)

Gillian Murrell | 497 comments Heat 1 must be completed prior to reading for any other Event
Once Heat 1 is complete, all other Events will be opened
I was going by this rule


message 1085: by Ange (last edited Jul 02, 2016 06:11PM) (new)

Ange (bentleyrise) | 484 comments That refers to the next "event" which is page jumping etc


message 1086: by Ashley (new)

Ashley | 1439 comments Gillian you can definitely read for Heat 1 & 2 now :)


message 1087: by Gillian (new)

Gillian Murrell | 497 comments Ok thanks i all have to go into work and change my books as the one i was reading got removed after start time :(


message 1088: by Gillian (new)

Gillian Murrell | 497 comments I won't be back on now till tonight have fun everyone


message 1089: by Ashley (new)

Ashley | 1439 comments Yeah I'm going to do another switcheroo...sorry ladies. I'm planning to use only either Heat 1 or Heat 2 Leg 1 (three books) for Heat 1 and remove the other.

I'll then insert the replacement heat for Leg 1 into Heat 2.

This will make it easier to shuffle around and get Heat 1 out of the way quicker (it removes me from another book as well).

Don't hate me too much :p
