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

Yes please - we may end up using a book for the next word instead of WHEEL

Thanks, Kimberly. I think your 'autocorrect' definitely does not like my name! hahahaha!!

Don't stress Karishma! We read because we love it so it should be enjoyed :)

I'm not...I don't like reading play scripts so yes...not the book for me!

[Kimberly]

I haven't read ANY of the Harry Potter series yet. I was waiting to read them with my son - but he's not interested yet.

Oh no Karishma thats no good you are stressed, good idea to take some time out to read what you want.

I will def read the new Harry Potter, need to wait a while as no more purchasing amazon books for a while. I have just had a huge vet bill for our poor beautiful cat who sadly we had to get put down this week.

[Viji]

Sorry, Ange. It is always very sad to lose a pet.

Ha! nice to see someone who has not read any of the Harry Potter series book yet. Of course, I saw a few movies and liked them. One day I plan to read them and don't know when!!!

Just an update for everyone;

- Our new Milon goal is 4 NF books. Here is a link to some good short NF books: https://www.goodreads.com/series/5445... We will need to plan these together to fit in with WHEEL
- We don't have the purple goal anymore...just the black now with the new week.
- We have been moved into Group B for words which means that they will be tougher now - I think we should stick with WHEEL for a couple more days to take advantage of it while we can!!

I'll read How To Ruin Everything: Essays by George Watsky. It fits for W in WHEEL.

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

I am in two minds about the new Harry Potter book. I have tried to read plays before and its really jarring for the story so at this stage haven't been keen but I will see what people iknow say and go fro m there

Thanks a lot for the list, Ashley. I will be reading by Geraldine Pinch. I think this will work for the letter E of WHEEL.

[Ange]

I can read Hiroshima which is only 152, works obvs for H.

Another great short (120 pages) non fiction book is Night by Elie Wiesel if no one hasnt read, works for E

[Skandia]

I think we should stick with WHEEL as long as we can :)

I'm going to read Every Day as soon as I get my book tomorrow, so that should take care of the first Milon task.

[Kimberly]

I came on to post a completion post and have now seen all the sad news.

First things first:

Gillian and Ange - I am so sorry to hear that you have lost a loved one.

I hope in our small way, we are able to help provide a distraction, if and when you are ready...

My deepest heartfelt sympathies to you.

I also agree that we should stick with WHEEL as long as possible. Can we still get the special word bonus, since we've moved groups?

[Kimberly]

I was going to read Girl in a Band by Kim Gordon for a NF book - but I'm worried about it fitting in with WHEEL. Biographies can be tough to find other speaking characters in them...

I'll switch to No Baggage by Clara Bensen since it definitely has a "W" in it (Character: Jeff Wilson)

It also has black shoes and a black handbag on the cover.


I have lots of NF books.

Switched groups...?

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

we moved from group C to group B in terms of the wheel that we spin and the items we need so now when we do spin our words will be a little more difficult than they were previously and we might have slightly more difficult colour tasks
