It's a 3-fer: pink on cover, between 100-150 pgs, has (at least) a B name. Hoping for an O or N too. :)
The book I am currently reading
has the sleeve of a Pink sweater on the cover. Also has plenty of characters with letters we can use. I am 60% done and will definitely finish it today. 8-) Will post again when I do.

4 days 18 mins left! Anyone else tempted to just spin every time we can, in hopes of getting "tapirs"? We have a chunk of banked books, Travel Agent books, and Boast prizes.... Could be fun.... :D

Sounds interesting, but the color bonuses would keep going up, increasing the chance that we won't be able to get those points, or maybe enter as many books as we'd like. So I'm kinda torn. Hmmmmm.

All right, time to run through a bunch of these books and see what we can plug in! :)

That was our 100-150 page book only spin, yea! Tammie, Brianna, Ray, Bethany, and the Travel Agent rocked at getting books to fill that, so thank you! One more boost for us :)

That spin was brought to us by Bethany, Tammie, Pragya, Karin, and the Travel Agent, yea!
With our 6 prizes (4 boasts & 2 leftover from Olympics), we could avoid some of the downsides. But it's only a 5% chance to spin tapirs so maybe not worth it.*whispers* though if I were a mod on this, I'd rig it so if a team got X amount of new words, the 'magic' word would be guaranteed.

I say we respin and hope for Tapir, I mean, what have we got to lose? Even the hard letters, I guess all of us are ready to look for /read, right? ETA: But the colour bonuses could become a problem, especially if the ones with color in title come:/

You guys are killing me with these awesome titles! ❤
