I just checked your currently reading as I was interested to see if they fit for WHEEL...
46 books!? Currently reading 46 books!?
When you say purple in text, means purple is mentioned somewhere in the book right? I just finished 2 books and one metions purple. I'll post the quote and the books later.
Yes that's right! Phew. Hopefully there is an E there too...they are tricky
Completion Post Gilded Ashes by Rosamund Hodge
111 pages || 28 July
Excerpt: ...a statue of Persephone in the center, and two sofas with plump purple cushions.
Characters: Maia, Anax, Kore, Thea
Killer Cupcakes by Leighann Dobbs
146 pages || 28 July
Characters: Jack, Lexy, Cassie, Mona or Nans
I recommend Gilded Ashes to everybody, quite a fast read. It's a Cinderella retelling that I quite enjoyed. There was a good (considering the dark tone of the story) relationship between the stepsisters.
Killer Cupcakes is free on Kindle!
I'm going to read Every Day next (to cover an "E")Downloading it now. :)
It has a black shoe on the cover.
Totally just read Gilded Ashes as soon as I saw you start ;)
Update: We have 8 purple books either read or being read. Ideally now we need E books with something black on the cover! (Perfect choice Kimberly)
Ashley wrote: "Totally just read Gilded Ashes as soon as I saw you start ;)"Have you read the rest of Hodge's books? I liked Cruel Beauty better than the 2nd book. She's got a new one out I think.
How many WHEELS are we looking into doing?
I'm going to read Every Heart a Doorway E title and black dirt surface, branches on cover. I hope it works.
Lol my cue to recommend Emperor's Soul by Brandon Sanderson once again to everyone!
Black items on the cover too! :D
Hey everyone, sorry been a bit quiet last couple of days, life got in the way! Thanks Kat for the list of short YA books, added quite a few.
Ive said it before and ill say it again you are all awesome, currently at 11th place wow.
Im currently reading The Moonlit Mind for H - character Harley (black stairs); and Ketchup on Everything for E - character Elliott

Kimberly wrote: "Awesome Gillian. We'll have to compare notes. :)"Yeh for sure. I hope to be close to finished by the time i do the delivery today i have just over 4 hours reading to go.
Read: Animal Farm by George OrwellPages: 102
Set in: England
Purple: "After much choking, during which his various chins turned purple, he managed to get it out: ‘If you have your lower animals to contend with,’ he said, ‘we have our lower classes!’"
Well, it used to be 60 books, so 46 isn't that bad. Recently, I even cleared out 300 books from my TBR. I've only ever marked 3 books as DNF so.... yeah. Eventually I'll go read them.

Same here! Yes it's a Romeo and Juliet one... Looking forward to reading it! Think it comes out in September.
We've finished one WHEEL so far...whoo! I think we should respin when the new week starts (or a day or two after) which means we should aim to finish about 5 WHEELS...we have 7 drafts in the spreadsheet so should be okay. Thoughts?
I don't want our speedy readers getting bored with the same word ;)
Good work team! We are still in 11th place AND we have now doubled our score - meaning that we have received more points this week than in Battleships and Olympics combined!
Plan sounds good Ash. That means color task is reduced to 1 when we spin for a new word because it's a new week, did I get that right? Assassin's Heart was publicized as Romeo and Juliet but it wasn't, which was disappointing! I hope Hodge pulls it off!
