[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

We can use Alex book for Set in London. Harry potter and the cursed child if we are close. I'm 60% into Apprentice in death and to read The Soldier's Scoundrel for London if not.

[K~Terror]

Thanks T!

One of our new bonus book task is for a book with 5+ covers.. I bet your Apprentice in Death would fit there nicely as I used an In Death book for that last time... Tons of covers usually!

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

Well I was reading it for 10 plus in a series. It's still open according to the SS.

[K~Terror]

Oh yes. You're right!

[Eldarwen]

Little note on the book under 150 pages - remember that it still needs to fit into the general Wobble guidelines, i.e. it needs to be 100 pages or more.

[Eldarwen]

From the Bank

Karen's Lethal works for 5+ covers.

Book with less than 150 pages - LaurLa's Interlude in Death. It's 100 pages long. And her Tales from Mysteria Falls works as well with 123 pages.

Maybe from the books in the bank we can find a book where something catches on fire?
Maybe there's a thief somewhere in one of those books?

Since we have other options for the bonus tasks, I used yours to complete Labor 4, as was initially intended :-)

[VNerdbooks]

finished Ruthless People for strong woman spot

[LaurLa]

There is an explosion in Interlude in Death and Roarke's coat catches on fire. If we use Tales from Mysteria Falls for under 150 pages, then we can use Interlude for catches fire.

[Eldarwen]

Sounds good, LaurLa! :-)

I know it's weird bc Fishers/HSE are like 2 miles from each other. I think we actually live closer ..."

It's crazy like that all over our town. We have people with Avon addresses going to Brownsburg and vice versa. School districts are weirdly drawn sometimes!!

[Eldarwen]

Labor 1: Alex | Main setting on water | On Stranger Tides

Labor 2: Abbie is currently working on her big mama jama!

Labor 6: Eldarwen | Book with a topiary in it. | Bride of the Mist

Labor 7: Eldarwen | Book originally written in a language other than own | Night Study

Labor 9: Karen | Book with a medal or trophy on the cover. | Forever Blue

[Eldarwen]

Alright, I need to poof for a bit, but I'm almost done with the topiary book! And then I'll move in on the last 160 pages of Night Study :-)

Getting there! hehe

[LaurLa]

I am not going to get to my last claimed task (Read a book with a musical instrument on the cover) until later next week - probably Wed or so. If someone else has a book with a musical instrument, feel free to take the task.

[Snowtulip]

Going to grab, read a book with a book on cover

[VNerdbooks]

Guys the mods have asked us to answer a few questions about the challenge, see below.


We'd like to hear from you!

We're looking for information like:
1) Are things too hard?
2) Are things too easy?
3) Is your team getting bored?
4) Is your team really enjoying something?
5) Any suggestions for improvement.

[Karen ♐]

Finished my "medal on cover" book. Updated ss.

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

Honestly, I'm tired! I wish this was the last challenge.

Good Lord, I knew it was long but once your playing it's different.

I don't think it's hard at all.

I'm enjoying myself but I'd like a mini break.

[Karen ♐]

I don't think it's too hard.
I've enjoyed every part but have to agree a bit with Tamika. It's pretty long...

[LaurLa]

Agree with T and Karen... maybe have it only have lasted through September. Wheel-a-thon was pretty long. And Bingo seemed really short, although Bingo was a lot harder than most of the other challenges, I thought.

Mostly I think it's a great challenge and would do it again. We had some pretty awesome leadership, though, so I know that is a big part of why it was enjoyable and not so overwhelming!

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Its fun, but long.
Breaks in between would have helped...maybe two weeks in between each game. But during that time, no books can be banked....since banking would still mean your playing.

[VNerdbooks]

I'm enjoying it, it is really long but I would have been doing other challenges anyway so apart from me putting my other ones on the back burner while I'm playing this I haven't done anything differently.

[VNerdbooks]

Is there anything that you think me, K Terror and E should or should not be doing for you guys?

Is the team SS okay for you guys, are the colours helping much?

I have been pants in adding the stuff to the main SS in the last couple of weeks as I can't get onto a computer at my new job, and my home laptop is so old it's practically steam powered lol

[Karen ♐]

I think you, E, and K Terror have done a fantastic job. I can only imagine how much work this all was (and is).

[Eldarwen]

Hmmm, I especially thought that WaT was long and that it kind of took the wind out of the sails because it was a little more "whatever" without specific tasks to be completed etc.

Agreed on the no banking, Abbie. Breaks in between events should not have banking going on - if breaks were to be added in a possible future Wobble challenge.

Thanks LaurLa! Much appreciated :-)

[Karen ♐]

I agree, E. WaT did seem really long and I like the tasks in this one.

[Eldarwen]

Thank you :-) It's actually good fun! Most of the time anyway hehe.

[VNerdbooks]

Aww thanks Karen, it has been fun.

[VNerdbooks]

Yes WaT did seem really long compared with the others

Yes, I think you all should be providing back rubs and coffee during reading hours.

[VNerdbooks]

Lol yes that is on our "To do list"

Love it Abbie!

[Snowtulip]

I agree with what's been said, no banking of books so those mini breaks really are mini breaks. I'm enjoying this labor round.

I'm fine with the length, only because I no longer know how to choose books on my own, so I need a challenge ;)

Captains are absolutely awesome :D So is the team!

LMAO!

[K~Terror]

I missed a lot this morning! I second a lot of that's been said - no banking is a great idea.. We have an awesome team! I love V's s/s! Definitely helps keeping us organized!

I do think the spreadsheet they provided has required less time to maintain than some of the past challenges. It's been pretty simple to add completed books to our tasks ~ which has been awesome!

Whoo hoo, Tamika's book means we get another bonus, right?

I think...

Can you tell hubby is gone this weekend and I have a lot of reading time ;)

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

Fudge!! I dislike Title Relay!!!

Let's see what in store for me this week.

[K~Terror]

I'm not a fan of title relays either, T!
Another team had a 10-book title relay for their bonus so I did do a little *whew!* that ours was only 5!

Oh, and now that I look closer at the first one - I don't think the first one is a romance?

[Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥]

Can more then one person do a book in this relay?

[Eldarwen]

BONUS LABOR 5


King Eurystheus has another task for you, but he can’t focus with so many important things on his mind. Before he gives you another task, he has one burning question:
“Why IS a raven like a writing desk?”
You scratch your head, hemming and hawing. Finally you decide to ask someone wiser than you.


◈ Read a book with characters who are known for their intelligence.
◈ Read a book with characters who are known for their intelligence.
◈ Read a book with characters who are known for their intelligence.

Points: 30

[K~Terror]

I believe so since it didn't say otherwise.

You got a good string missy?

[Eldarwen]

Well that is an odd one..

[K~Terror]

Why yes,yes it is.... huh...

I just finished one that I think would fit - Some Kind of Perfect. Connor is like some sort of genius.

[Snowtulip]

The book I'm currently reading


The summary says "Augustine, a brilliant, aging astronomer, is consumed by the stars."

Sounds like he's known for his intelligence...

[VNerdbooks]

Would The Sinner work for that one? Doctors are known for intelligence

[Eldarwen]

Both your books sound like they would work, K-Terror and Snowtulip.

"Genius" and "brilliant" - sounds like intelligence to me!
