Gillian Murrell | 497 comments Well done everyone on the wheel and great last minute work there that was smart thinking :)

Gillian Murrell | 497 comments I have a buddy read for The Paper Magician i don't know yet if it will have a wand but if it does i will let you know.


message 2403: by Ashley (new)

Ashley | 1439 comments Tree and wand have both been claimed


message 2404: by Ange (new)

Ange (bentleyrise) | 484 comments Can you put me down for O5 - The Burning Bridge


message 2405: by Kimberly (last edited Aug 20, 2016 03:19PM) (new)

Kimberly (poweki) | 1713 comments Can you put me down for O4 - The Girl with All the Gifts? (6 word title)

or it can be used for I5 (suspense)

It could also be used for I4 (brain) - brains are removed and examined

and possibly O2 - but only if it is written the wrong way... This book is being made into a movie - but it's not a "movie made into a book"

Maybe N5 (hourglass) - but I'm not sure - it's a stretch - I guess you could say they're on the run and time is running out

The Girl With All the Gifts by M.R. Carey

I think I edited my comment at the same time you posted. Does G2 work? I have to read a book from a short list for a challenge, but there's a few other options if this one doesn't work.

Viji | 389 comments I would like to take B1 - Ice Cream. Will Ice Cream Murder (Lexy Baker Cozy Mystery, #9) by Leighann Dobbs work? Thanks.

Skandia (sfgirl) | 1724 comments What pattern we need to do?


message 2409: by Skandia (new)

Skandia (sfgirl) | 1724 comments If this is unclaimed, I can do a fast read of I2 - Genre is Humor.
I'll read Neanderthal Seeks Human by Penny Reid.

Is it still the genre requirement that Humor needs to be on main page genre list?

I was wondering that too.

I have a few books started supposedly for Wheelathon but haven't finished reading yet. I'll find spots to fit them in.


message 2411: by Viji (new)

Viji | 389 comments I would also like to read for N4 - Strawberry. I hope Town in a Strawberry Swirl by B.B. Haywood will do .

Then can I read Reifu Rising for G2?"


Yes - perfect fit

I think we should use this for I1 moon as there is a little crescent moon on the cover :)

I'll pop you down for it and let me know if you want to change


Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon AKA NixieNut  (sapphireddragon) | 1397 comments Ashley I am looking through the Bingo rules now and it only says that books need to be finished during Bingo, not started and then says books banked from wheelathon ( which I take as finished during wheelathon but not used during wheelathon should be carried over to the last event.

Have I read that wrong?


message 2415: by Ashley (new)

Ashley | 1439 comments Ah yes you're right Nikk - thanks! I'll delete my other comment so I don't confuse :)


Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon AKA NixieNut  (sapphireddragon) | 1397 comments Thank goodness because I am already 200 pages in to Daughters of the Storm :-P


kat (wanderfulbooks) (wanderfulbooks) | 2329 comments What pattern are we going to do?


message 2418: by Viji (new)

Is the edition you're reading published in 2005?

Let me know how you liked Jackaby, Kathleen. This is on very top of my TBR list.


message 2435: by Skandia (new)

Skandia (sfgirl) | 1724 comments I'm so very sorry for your loss, Gillian.

Life is so unfair sometimes :(


message 2436: by ~~~N~~~ (new)

~~~N~~~ (chocolate-cannibal-bunnies) | 616 comments I finished The Shattered Gates and I'm 2 thirds through Reifu Rising.


message 2437: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca (rebeccaemma) | 85 comments I will take B5 Title Contains Touch


message 2438: by ~~~N~~~ (new)

~~~N~~~ (chocolate-cannibal-bunnies) | 616 comments Symbolism works, right? I'll take Apple (N3) as a symbol for sin.


kat (wanderfulbooks) (wanderfulbooks) | 2329 comments I'm sorry to hear about your loss Gillian. My prayers for the whole family.


kat (wanderfulbooks) (wanderfulbooks) | 2329 comments Oh, symbolism works? I finished Love Story by Erich Segal and maybe it could work for O1-yoyo? The book was a shifting of emotions from being happy (up) to sad (down) and vice versa wherein the ending was down. Or is it too much of a stretch? :D


message 2441: by Kimberly (new)

Kimberly (poweki) | 1713 comments I will finish my hourglass book today. I can do MOON or STARTS WITH I next. Which would be more useful?

Yes that works


message 2443: by Ashley (new)

Ashley | 1439 comments Great thinking Kathleen - not too much of a stretch!

Take your pick Kimberly - just post which option you've decided!

SHARK!



Ack! A shark! Does that make you sharkbait?


message 2445: by Ashley (new)

Ashley | 1439 comments SHARK!

A shark has eaten Kathleen's book for the keys (picture) card.

We will need to read another book to fill it!

Kathleen's book isn't lost forever as we can use it on the BINGO sheet we get.


kat (wanderfulbooks) (wanderfulbooks) | 2329 comments My heart leaped at the shark! LOL this challenge just got exciting.

I think it was Noa who read for the key goal :D

KEYS is a picture card so if we're going for symbolism again, I just finished The Lathe of Heaven (lol after a month!) and maybe it could work for keys: what the MC dreams about is the "key" to how life revolves. Basically he has the ability of changing the world by dreaming about it and then his doctor is trying to manipulate his dreams to achieve his own plans for the world.


message 2447: by Ashley (new)

Ashley | 1439 comments Yes it was Noa!

Maybe I was just predicting that you'd fill it ;)

OH! Noa is avenged! I think it is Shattered Glass and the Shark is going to have a difficult time swallowing that!!


message 2450: by Kimberly (new)

Kimberly (poweki) | 1713 comments I finished The Girl with all the Gifts. Hourglass goal.
