I really liked it! I listen to the audio though which was great. Maybe try the audio version?

[Kimberly]

I have no books that are based on a movie. I hope someone else can take that one. It's really hard...

[~~~N~~~]

Oh no, it's a shark! Thankfully I had Kathleen to come to my rescue ;)

I finished Paris Spleen. I think it fits for the brain? A huge portion of the book is on perception, intelligence, society, etc.

Can you add your read date so we can use it?

[Ange]

I only have one book on that list a space odyssey. I could read that?

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

@Ashley, am not sure what you mean but it shows I finished it 8/21, forgot to shelf it tho lol

[Ashley]

Ah Kathleen there are two editions on your shelf so I was looking at the wrong one!

Sounds good Ange :) I'm sure everyone will be happy with that!!

[Ashley]

Good work team! Almost halfway through the first sheet :D

If you do finish your assigned squares (like me) just go ahead and read whatever you like. We'll make notes of it and bank it for the next bingo sheet we receive.

If you're struggling to finish a square (hate the book etc.) just shout out and someone else should be able to read it instead. No time for bad books!

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

My slots are open to faster readers lol. Cant read/fast as before, life's a bit busy these days (maybe he didnt get the memo that i have better things to do like reading haha).

[Ashley]

I still think you can be pretty quick! What's keeping you busy?

[Elspeth]

OK, checking in finally.

I just finished which I think could work for I5: genre is suspense. It's not shelved as suspense but it is shelved mystery and I would definitely call it suspense. I'm not completely caught up with the thread but it appears this spot is open?

I also started which would work for G2: blue cover.

[Elspeth]

Oh, I could also try to finish for O3: title starts with B.

[Kimberly]

I do the goodreads reading challenge every year. This year, before the WOBBLE challenge, I was constantly about 2-3 books behind schedule. Now I am 12 books ahead! Just thought I'd share. :)

Congrats, Kimberly. I am sure you would complete the target early this year.

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

Nice work Kimberley! I upped my challenge from last year and am currently 5 books ahead. I finished my 100th book for the year last night :-)

[Ange]

Rebecca and Nikk awesome work on all the books, I am too (because of this challenge) 12 books ahead, think I will have to up my estimate.

Finished The Burning Bridge for published in 2005.

On to start the space odyssey book for movie into book. Not really in the mood for a book like that maybe it will surprise me though ... hopefully its not a hard slog

How it fits: Strawberries on cover

[~~~N~~~]

Just... as a warning... I'm barely reading. I have so many assignments, assigned reading (I have 11 textbooks), labs, my job, etc, etc, etc... Anyways, it doesn't seem like I have much time for the recreational lately. Please don't expect more than 3-4 books from me a week (at most), at least until I get back into the swing of things. I'm out by 7:30 and don't come home till 8 at night if I'm lucky.

I'm sorry... I wish I could give more to the challenge.

Works for wand on cover - G4 - if it's not claimed yet.

[Ange]

Noa 3-4 books is still awesome!

[Kimberly]

I finished CUT TO THE BONE for moonlight. I'll have a look later to see what else is needed.

[Kimberly]

It looks to me like everything is covered. Is that right?

I'm happy to take on anything to help - except the movie to book goal.

Is there anything I can do?

[Skandia]

Kimberly, I think Gillian and Kathleen said, if anybody wants to take their spots, they are welcome to do so.
As I see, it's I title or B title for example. Also, you are fast reader and I don't mind if you read my planned spot - humor genre

I've got 2 hours left of my book, will try to finish today

[Rebecca]

I'm trying to read two "touch" books - one physical book, one audio book - to maximise my chance of finishing one quickly. Happy for someone else to read though if they want to. Will definitely be finished one by tomorrow though. Sorry I'm a slow reader :(

[Ashley]

Good plan Rebecca - that's some awesome dedication!!

[Rebecca]

One is a non-fiction look at how the sense of touch influences our every day lives. It's actually really interesting! Have you ever wondered why they're called "feelings"? And why you say you've had a "rough" day? Or you say you're "touched" when someone does something kind... Seriously, I never would have picked this up if not for this challenge!

The other one is a vampire romance type book, haha.

Reifu Rising. It was my blue cover book, though it would fit for apple or wand as well. Has another book been put in the wand spot?

[Ange]

Finished space odyssey for movie into book.

That book does sound interesting Rebecca.

[Kimberly]

I finished BURYING WATER for the B book. :)

Do we need anything else?

[Gillian]

I'm finally back home thank you all for your condolences it meant a lot to me. I have read a few books but they no longer fit the vacant spots so i will hold them over in hope of them fitting the next one i guess.
