Let's hope that same set comes up the next time we open a bonus!

[Viji]

I had completed Blood Gospel by James Rollins and posted it. It is tagged Horror.

[Ashley]

Haha Kimberly!

Thanks Kathleen - now I get to be the bad idea and say no it won't count for "wrestling"

I also checked on the redhead and that's a no too...I feel like I'm saying no to everything today!!!

Thanks! I'll use it. Looks like we are keeping Bonus 19

[Ashley]

So all we need for Bonus 19 is another "head" book!

[Ashley]

Okay...I'm reading Wolf's Head Inn. 138 pages so shouldn't take too long!

[Kimberly]

I can't see anything open on our planning sheet. Is that right?

Did we complete or ditch all the relays?

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

@Kimberly: All the relays are filled in and now being read for.

If you want to read for the "head" task or where MC is a thief, you can take my spot! Am sure we can use my current reads for future bonus tasks :)

Well - in White Trash Zombie Gone Wild (which I will finish tonight), the MC was stealing a zombie-drug from a lab and she was caught.

Will that work for thief?

I've used Gillian's "The Fog instead. Viji's book is long so I'd rather hold onto that just in case :)

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Bonus 2 and Bonus 3, completed but why are there no points showing in the official spreadsheet? Just ---
Bonus 17 has 10 points marked.

Vermont and southern Quebec (southeast of Montreal). It's gorgeous! My book choices are somewhat limited for the next week, though. Of course, there are the local bookstores.... :oP When I travel I think the weight of my suitcase is more books than anything else; I never want to be without a good book!

I'm finishing and today and will get a start on and

Oddly enough, the AirBnB where I'm staying has a substantial stash of books. I was perusing the shelves and found . I could probably get that done in a few days.

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Photos Katharine!
Is that anywhere the very picturesque lake (forgot what lake it is)? Am jealous! I used to be that then I gave in and bought a Kindle. Now am never without it, although I still carry 2 books minimum.

Gonna have a quick look at outstanding labours to see what i can help with next

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

Okay So I am looking at the wobble spreadsheet and there doesn't seem to be ...well any gaps currently... trying to decide what to read next. Those with a couple of tasks lined up need any help? I can see what I have :-)

Lake Champlain forms part of the border between Vermont (northwestern) and New York. It extends a bit into Quebec and part of it branches off into Quebec's Richelieu River.

So you've started the Rickshaw book? I just happened to start a book for fun that has rickshaw in it, so I was going to say you didn't need to start your book if you didn't want to. I'm at 20%.

Hopefully my book fits for one of the new bonuses.

@Katharine: That lake sounds so divine! It's basically you're stepping foot into 2 countries if you walk around it (if it is possible). How do you find time to read? When I travel, I'm almost always outside and only go back to the hotel at night when it's time to call it a day.

Sorry to bother you with this but can you please add A Taste of Monsters, The Inheritance and Flight of the Fire Thief in your WOBBLE shelf? Please add all your read books to your wobble shelf. We can't use it as the spreadsheet won't pick it up. Thank you! :D

I do not know whether it would fit any of the tasks. If not, could be used later.

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

I could start Castle of Dreams that hopefully with words like castle and dreams on either side it can be slotted in to the relay somewhere or i could read The Song Rising as first ( main page science fiction genre) book of the relay?

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

NIKK!!!! I'm all kinds of jealous! Why do you have The Song Rising already? I love that series haha! I have pre ordered the 3rd book in the original covers because I prefer it to the new ones.

I can read Rising from Dust

[Nikki the Sapphired Book Dragon]

I got chosen to be a bone season advocate for the series so i get an early unedited ARC which is what was going to read now as well as a signed hardcopy of all the books of the series as they come out. I just need to review them all and be an advocate both on my blog and instagram as the books come out as well as any cover reveals or exclusive bits to be put on my blog. I love the serie too and review the mime order on my blog as well as revealing the song rising cover recently :-)

Lol and of course we get another relay. Who hasn't read Never Never yet? Wanna go for another Never Never read along?

I haven't read the 2nd book yet nor the 3rd...

[Kimberly]

I have heaps of romance books if you'd prefer that I start Labor 26?

Or I can keep reading Sandman Slim - the MC is most definitely searching for something (someone he wants to kill)

I haven't read the 2nd or third either - but I don't think it would work because the title ends in "Part Two"

[kat (wanderfulbooks)]

Bummer. Didn't know that! I thought all the books are entitled Never Never!

[~~~N~~~]

I can read

4. Girl With the Cat Tattoo
And
5. Tattoo

[Kimberly]

There are a bunch of books titled 'Never Say Never' that all seem to be romance...

[Kimberly]

I seem to recall all the titles had to be at least two words long.

(I hope I'm remembering this incorrectly)

All 200+ page books... let's just go with what we have. What do you want to read first? Let me see if I can connect something...
