@Kimberly: I think Gillian is reading for treasure hunter. I'm not sure if this would work but how about if we use it for BONUS 7: Read 3 books with similarities on the cover. Glitter Baby has something sparkling/gliterring on the cover (the bracelet). I can read
where the chandelier is all sparkly too. @Nikk and Ash: think this will work?

Moondrake as a name?"
It's a sci-fi/fantasy book. There's also secondary characters called Sundrake and Stardrake.

Ahh okay - sci-fi makes sense!!
@Nikk: Is Witch Pyre slated for a task? If not yet, Witch Pyre would work for BONUS 7! Something sparkly on cover! Those eyes are sparkling!! :D
No it hadn't been - I can't access google sheets to see the latest bonus labours and unfilled labours all in one spot so I hadn't been able to find oone to assign it too yet (its a review read- which is why I had to read it now). So since I am about to post a completion post:Completion Post

Date read: 23/9/16
Task Fits:
Bonus 7 - something sparkly on the cover?
Why can't you access the sheets Nikk? Is it something tech that we need to fix?
no - I just can't access at work as our IT department have locked all social media/logging sites down so I can't access here.I can access at home but I was a little busy last night :-P
The google apps sheet is pretty good on phones...if you're desperate ahah.How was your bday?
yeah I have been using my phone to tryu and look a lot - just not as easy as the computer obvs :-)My birthday was good. Quieter than even I had planned as at work I was by myself as we had too events on and then Damian got stuck at work so by the time he got home and 7.45 pm, we did the birthday cake so my 4 year old could participate and have some then put her to bed and got take out as we were both exhausted LOL
I did a lot of shopping at lunch time though, bought myself a new diary with my birthday voucher from Kikki K, ordered some more books and spent way too much money
Thank you all for the birthday wishes BTW :-)
BIrthday's a pretty much good reason to spend! ;)
now I just need to promise myself I will curb the spending until Christmas ;-p

Karishma wrote: "I'm going to hate it when wobble ends. We have such an amazing team."I know it will be strange not checking in with you all. No reason why we cant pop in from time to time and say hi though :)

You could use my unused book Empire of Storms for Bonus labour 8: Check with Lydia Bennet - Read a book with a headstrong character because caelena Sardothien is most definitely headstrong :-P
Nikk wrote: "You could use my unused book Empire of Storms for Bonus labour 8: Check with Lydia Bennet - Read a book with a headstrong character because caelena Sardothien is most definitely hea..."It was finished during the last challenge so can't be used :(
Whoops! forgot about that sorry :-(
Anybody here a Megan Whalen Turner fan? So, after centuries of waiting, buzz is they're finally releasing the 5th book next year. They're revamping the covers too!!!

I finished Glitter Baby. Will start the Summer (relay) book today.

Kimberly wrote: "I have another PEMBERLEY book. Should I read it?"I would think the answer is yes lol
Gillian wrote: "Kimberly wrote: "I have another PEMBERLEY book. Should I read it?"I would think the answer is yes lol"
Ok. I've started Summer School and as soon as I finish it, I will read The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics

lol Gillian. Awesome answer!
and thank you for getting us another 2 free books :D
We can use Glitter Baby for Bonus 8: headstrong character :) both MCs are headstrong!
We've used Karishma's blue dress books for the similar task bonus. I'm sure we can use Glitter Baby elsewhere - is there a head strong character in the book?
Haha should have refreshed before I asked!

That's something Goodreads should improve on, automatic updates!
Glitter Baby has a large vehicle on the cover (It's a white Limo)
Have we found a skeleton yet in our trunk of books? I've been trying to go over the travel agency scouring for one. Oh and the other team's spreadsheet too to looking to see if I have what they used for the skeleton task.
Read a book with a hole on the cover.Like a photo of a hole? What hole?
I can recommend this book which I read recently:
