We need a minimum of three members to compete in Fight Club.

Please post what sprints you are willing to compete in.

[Ashley]

My preferences for Fight Club are 1 hour and/or 2 hour

[Gillian]

I can do Edge of Dark water for Ange if you like

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Or a book that ends with Gone if you've got one Gillian?

Read: Helping Hand by Jay Northcote
Date: 3/7/16
Pages: 107
Fits: Wheelathon

[~~~N~~~]

I would like to do anything but the 4 hour slot. I'm also happy to do multiple slots.

[Ashley]

Ahhhh I deleted my comment...whoops. I can see that Ange has started reading it. No harm in reading it too (or something else) - we can always use for Wheelathon (hopefully).

Someone's crossing her fingers so bad for someone to volunteer for the 6 hour sprint!

[Elspeth]

Finished Postcards from the Edge and it was so good!

I'm down for any of the sprint lengths.

Thank you Gillian!
Hope you enjoy your day at work too!
We'll have Event 2 unlocked when you come back.

Hear that Ashley? I just made a promise, better bring your A game lol stop whining and just read Gone Good. Just imagine it being Lady Midnight and you're beyond excited to learn how it ends.

[Gillian]

Can i be put down for Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children 352 pages for event jumping please

[Gillian]

not looking forward to my day as I'm a passenger on a mail run i have to learn and i get really bad travel sickness so I'm doped up to the eyeballs and its making me very drowsy :(

[~~~N~~~]

Okay, so I deleted my comment and will find stuff that will fit other tasks.

[~~~N~~~]

Superhero: for Tool on Cover (Event 5, 2) and (Event 2, 1)
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: for Animal on Cover (Event 5, 1) and 100-150 pgs (Event 2, 2)
Never Never: Part Three: for 151-200 pgs (Event 2, 1) and 100-250 pgs (Event 3, 1)

Does that work?

[Ashley]

Haha I will finish it! In addition to catching the bus home from work today so I can read I also declined lunch with a friend so I have an extra hour reading time

[Ashley]

This book works perfectly for Event 5 (Build a Chariot) A Person (Head to Toe) on Cover as well. You need to complete a book for Event 5 so would you like to use this one?

After completing Heat 1 of Event 1 (we are waiting on me :() you can read for any event.

[book:Never..."

I can't see a tool on the cover for Superhero...but this sounds like a book that we can use for the optional coach read for Fight Club!

Well might work. Depends on the amount of fighting

[Ashley]

Alice is a no as it doesn't meet the word count requirement. It has 132 pages but it is shelved as childrens so we have to check the word count. The required word count is 25,000 but this is only around 14,000

[Kimberly]

Hi Ashley

Do books we're reading now count for other events?

I'm listening to: Never Broken: Songs Are Only Half the Story because I thought it might assist with the relay but it also has a very clear arm on it (no ruling required)

[Ashley]

Not yet. You can only start once I finish my book. Unless you want to read Gone for Good and finish before me?

Anyone? I'm feeling the pressure now ahhhhh

[Ashley]

Is anyone reading a book that ends with Still?

Isn't a pencil a tool? Even if you're talking about building, they're used for measuring and such.

Too bad about Alice.
