Correct :)

I think she will. I like her retellings - I don't sit there comparing because they are different enough that I forget that it is a retelling at times.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I really liked this Cinderella retelling. It sounds so alike yet so different!

Also, any Gail Carriger fans? She has a new-ish short standalone out Poison or Protect

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

Kathleen, I have read the first book of the parasol protectorate series and the first couple of books of her younger series also. I quite like her and I am not generally a steam punk fan :-)

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

Also letting you know I should be back on deck from Sunday. ITs been a crazy week with me STILL being sick with the cough from hell, our house inspection is tomorrow and I have been too sick for most of the week to really do much, took 2 days off work this week and had a job interview for a new job this morning. So not a lot of reading being done :-(

but come sunday when I can breathe a little I hope to get back to reading and already have a load of books on reserve at the library to pick up tomorrow :-)

Thanks a lot, Kathleen, for all the links. I have a few books of Gail Carriger but have not started on them. I will give a try soon.

Finished The Governess Affair by Courtney Milan

Character H - Hugo Marshall

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

                                       

Milon boasts that he once completed a wheelathon word by reading the same book 3 times.

[Skandia]

Also, my finished book has word "purple" page 85 - "His eye was ringed with a virulent red bruise; it would be purple in the morning."

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

so regarding the boast - I am guessing we have used all our Never never books :-P

does anyone feel a buddy read coming on? :-P

[Skandia]

What was that?
I feel like I'm lost in translation :)

[Kelly]

Check over here

[Skandia]

Yep, a BR it is!
Anyone up for reading Every Heart a Doorway with me - 178 pages?
Seanan McGuire has a very unique writing style and world building.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I'm a little lost too... does this mean we need 4 or more members to read the same book to beat Milon and claim the bonus?

[Kelly]

You just have to meet his boast, you don't have to beat it.

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

3 or more as you are meeting or beating :)

[Ashley]

As you can see we have a new mini challenge!!

Our goal is: Read the same book 3 times

This only works for novels started from now...so we can't go back and claim books that we have already finished.

When we complete our goal we can pick a bonus. The Wheelathon bonus' are;

A) 1 free book from travel agent
B) Lower bonus level by 1 (request from mod)
C) Request re-spin (request from mod)
D) Use a different language title than read for the letter
E) Use last letter of word instead of first
F) Change color of one color task
G) Change task of one color task
H) Use a different cover than the edition read
I) Use a text color in the place of an item on cover
J) Use an item on cover in place of color in title
K) Replace 1 letter with one of your choice
L) Use a book twice in the same word
M) Use a book a different team has read
N) Use a book of less than 100 pages
O) Get all new Color bonuses (request from mod)
P) Spin for a new word without completing the color bonus (request from mod)
Q) Use an author's middle name/initial

Each bonus can only be used once. FYI we do have one bonus available that we didn't use for Olympics.

[Kelly]

You can't go back and claim words that have been submitted. Also those 3 books have to be in the same wheelathon word.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Thank you for the clarification Kelly, Karen and Ashley!

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

I can also read whatever book majority of the team decides to read!
I have started From This Day Forward (103 pages, fits L) if anyone wants to join. :)

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Ashley, will Gilded Ashes work if 1 more member reads it?

[Ashley]

Kathleen wrote: "Ashley, will Gilded Ashes work?"

Yes - I think Gillian is reading it too and I haven't used our reads for a submission yet.

Don't think we can use it in WHEEL because of the letters...we may need to hold onto it for when we spin the wheel again.

That was a great book Kimberly hope you are enjoying it so far. Looking forward to hearing what you think of it.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

@Gillian: I'm not reading Every day :) but Kimberly is!

@Ashley: Ah right, I forgot it has purple.
Viji said she's going to reading From this Day Forward too.
I guess if another member reads either Every day or From this Day Forward, would that work Ashley?

I tried finishing Eagle Strike and fell asleep!

[Gillian]

lol opps i must be more tired than i though sorry Kathleen

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

No worries Gillian! I had Every day in my TBR but I moved it to my maybe to read shelves a while back.

@Karishma: Great! That's Viji, you and me reading it.

WE CAN BEAT MILON

Well - If Gillian has read Every Day and I am reading Every Day and Kat wants to read Every Day, aren't we there??

It can be used for the EE in WHEEL and there are SOOOO many characters in, I'm sure it will fill another letter.

P.S. duh! And it's written by David Levithan for L

Should I still be recording characters, even if they don't fit for our current word?

[Kimberly]

Skandia - Every Day is so interesting! I don't know how it will end yet - but it's very compelling.

Can we beat Milon more than once?

[Gillian]

Kimberly wrote: "Skandia - Every Day is so interesting! I don't know how it will end yet - but it's very compelling.

I would suggest you read it anyway Skandia as it suits Wheel so well even without the multitude of characters.
