I'm not sure if I'm happy about this or not. I guess another week of labors means another week of wobble, so... yay?

There's a lot going on with Wobble! A quick update:

- Labors has entered a time slip and will go on for one more week. Watch this video of the Time Warp to reorient yourself.

- There's lots of good news that goes along with this! We get some time to finish the more pesky labors. We have a chance at using up more TA books to earn points. And...

- In one day and five hours from this posting (the original end time for Labors) we'll be able to open a sixth labor! Huzzah! Also...

- At that time the three freebie bonuses will reset, giving us three more freebie bonuses to use as we wish. Huzzah!

The new countdown to the end of Labors is here.

If you have any questions let us know. Do check out the new tasks below and read on! :D

I am sorry I am not reading for tasks - it seems whenever I come on to check they are either filled by TA books or other members of the team - not that I am complaining as you guys are rocking these bonuses!!!

So, I am just reading "what makes me happy" and hopefully they will fit in somewhere eventually :)

I approve of this plan ^^b

One of the books I'm reading right now, Marrying Winterborne, counts for 30D - unusual sidekick.

In the Regency a gentleman's sidekick was his secretary, who oversaw his social calendar and helped him in all matters. His personal secretary is always a man... but Winterborne has gone against type and hired a woman. She's smart, she's on top of things and she helps him do what needs doing. Sidekick! :)

TA books fill a lot of #30

main character who is a wizard = demon moon
MC who is a police officer = the sinner
Read a book with a Fae character = once broken faith
MC who is a private detective = banana hammock

[Bety]

Hm, I'm just about ready to start reading urban fantasy again. I've got a Dresden book that would count for 30 A or E and an October Daye that would count for 30 C. Which one seems the hardest?

Also, Ugh, I'm so title relayed out. Like, I'm willing to do it, but so many of my books just have such unusual words that there's no way I can chain off of them.

[Ray (user2637)]

#31c - TA - Red Seas Under Red Skies or The Lies of Locke Lamora.
I don't find any other TA books for 31.
