Yes we do - it's in the WOBBLE planning sheet - same as what we used for Olympics"

Hmmm. I don't think I have access to that one. I was using the one called "Olympics" https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

And I can see the "Plumed Basilisk" one that can't be modified by members.

[Ashley]

It's: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

The link is on the first page if you ever can't find it

I'll put some details here about the book I'm currently reading because I'm on my computer. I'll likely finish it tonight or tomorrow morning - but will not have my computer on then so hopefully, you can refer back to this.

I'm reading: The Beach House written by Georgia Bockoven (and narrated by Joell A. Jacob) with a little blue toy house on the cover.

Most popular edition: paperback: 432 pages



Relevant uses are:

O:
M: Character: Maggie

Thanks Kimberly! I'll make note of it

[Kimberly]

We are in 21st place. But we are in 2nd place in Wheelathon! We are trailing behind the team in first place overall.

Awesome team! :) :)

Should I read it anyways, for the O?

I don't really get the blue item thing. Does one book per round of the word need to have a blue item? Or as many books as we can?

By the by, I'm out doing errands and brought my copy of The Scarlet Pimpernel. I'll either finish it this evening or tomorrow and my edition jas blue clothing and blue in a French flag thing on the cover.

Ashley I can change this to this version if we need it, looks from the spreadsheet we are covered with blue items for the next several word reads?

Thanks Gillian for the suggestion

[Ange]

Noa, just one book per reading NBRCBOM needs to have the blue item to get bonus points

[Ange]

Ill read Scratch next which will fit for B to complete another word.

Oh good :) I didn't have nearly enough books with blue items to last more than a couple of days

I actually have a few relevant blue item books. Please let me know if you need me to read them or if we're covered.

Currently Reading: No Apologies (fallen so behind in my buddy read) and halfway through The Scarlet Pimpernel

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

along with the two i am already reading, i also started Storm Front on audio so i can listen to it whilst I am cleaning this week :-)

Its also narrated by James Marsters which is an added bonus :-) i will also borrow a copy of from the library later this week so even if I don't manage to finish the audio during the weeks, I can finish the book over the weekend but its only 8 hours in total so I should be able to finish it. Just listened to 50 minutes whilst cooking buffy's dinner and doing the dishes :-)

[Rebecca]

We're smashing this challenge! I definitely like this one better than Olympics... I can actually follow what's going on

Yes read for the O :)

Only one blue book per spellout of NBRCBOM. If we choose to change words then this will increase by one more colour book being required.

Does this make sense?

You can only use the edition that you've read. The blue rabbit one wouldn't work anyway. It's a cut out of the sky. Sky, ocean etc. aren't counted as "items" for this challenge

Yes I want to know too!! I've seen this book around heaps but haven't added it to my TBR yet...

Glad to hear! Your books that we didn't use for Olympics were perfect for Wheelathon :D

What are you reading at the moment?

There are so many options for you! At the moment our word is: NBRCBOM so titles/characters/authors that fit those will work.

I'm finding it so easy to get books at the moment. The trickiest letter we have is O so maybe include one that suits that?

We are looking to spin the wheel and get a different word in a couple of days (when we are sick of NBRCBOM) in hope that we can land "Tapirs" and get a 100 point bonus :)

You guys are killing it! 700 points for Wheelathon already. Wow! That is more than any other team so far :o

[~~~N~~~]

Thanks, Karen ^.^ Hopefully we can give the other guys a run for their money in this round

[Ashley]

Hehe we are!!! I'm loving this feeling at the moment :D

It's always good when the American teams aren't online and updating ;)

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

lol
Yeah, I think wheelathon came at the perfect time to enable everyone to take a bit of a breather :)

It is so satifying being able to fill words with banked books too. I remember the feeling of the "runs" we had with Gladiator Games. It was time consuming but so awesome when we got like 10 tasks done in a row!

Finished Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

Works for C - title, author
B - character Charlotte Branwell, Magnus Bane or Camille Belcourt

I'm so glad I gave Cassandra Clare another chance. I loved this book and can't wait to continue with the series.

[Ashley]

Karishma - Sure does, I've used it for O already.

It's so much better Skandia! I listened to the audiobooks of the series but I want to read the books as well
