Page 306: "Lemon and salt rubbed into a fresh and bleeding wound, torn in four ragged strips across her back and peeling her lips back from her teeth in a silent scream."
If we need it :)
Mod
Yay!!! Very exciting!!Love when that happens!

If someone is interested in reading
, it's cute and self-published.
What the FUDGE!!!What was the verdict on The non-Fiction Relay? I should be able to get started soon.
.However We do have a meeting with the new BIG boss here, so I don't know how long I will be stuck there...However 4 day week for me!!!
Also, since we are at the end here, how do the points work? Do we need to complete an entire Labour to get the points, or are we getting points for what ever is submitted?
Just wanted to know for my 4 day reading spree.

It wasn't me! I'm innocent!
If we end up with a soldier task, I'm almost done with one.Can't let you know about relay books until I get home tonight, but I can usually take whatever.

Ah we haven't really gotten far with a build-up for non-fiction, but I'm pretty sure that if you go with "Girl in the Dark", we'll be able to figure something out.
Also, if you have something with a rope on the cover? K has an option but if you have something and can read that one before she starts hers, that might give you another option to fill up your reading time?
Mod
Give me a bit to dig a little deeper and hopefully I'll find something. If not, I'll ask and then I'll get back to you as soon as I have a reply.
You can have a body like mine is done!Let me see what needs to be filled
Mod
And the rope on cover.
Everything else is basically relay or spoken for.
I can start rope tonight.
Lol..which relay now....I have totally lost track of those dang things.
I need audio now, So I am going to Start My non-Fiction, here at work, and then work on the rope when I get home
So I am getting ready to go to a retreat for the weekend. I won't be able to read (well, maybe for like an hour a day) nor will I be able to do much on GR. I may pop in just to see what's happening but probably no posting.I am finishing up a book here in a little bit that I will bank, but I won't be claiming anything new until Sunday evening :-( Hopefully my few banked books will help for any upcoming labours....
Everyone have a beautiful weekend!!!
After I finish the book I'm reading, (Here With Me), I don't know how much time I'll have. My son's wedding is next Saturday but there are events from Thurs - Sun. So any reading I can get done after tomorrow, I'll just bank.
I'm back!!!Unfortunately not with my normal phone, won't have that till about Thursday next week grr
Is sugar Rush by sawyer Bennett a self publish? can't see on this thing lol if it is I'm nearly finished that one, if not I'm sure it will work in one of the twelvety million relays we have!!

BTW - I just signed up to help with the concessions for the HSE/Brownsburg football game so I may see you there??? :)

Boo! Does that mean the battery was a bust and you had to go with whole new phone?

Actually I saw my gastroenterologist and he put me on a medication that slows down the release of bile since I no longer have a gall bladder. *fingers crossed*. It seems to be working. He's diagnosed me with IBS. I've been on this new med for almost 2 weeks and it seems to be working well.
I found "Dark is the Sky" i can read to add onto Abbie's book if no one else found anything yet...Girl in the Dark
Dark is the Sky
Mod
LaurLa, have a lovely weekend! A retreat sounds great!
And no worries about the reading/books/tasks ladies! Most of the banked books have been used in the meantime, which is awesome, and whatever else you're reading and banking, we'll make sure to make them fit somewhere, somehow.
Sunday (11pm London time, if I calculated the time correctly from the countdown) will be the start of the last event for the Wobble challenge, called "Emerge the Victor".
Glad to hear it Karen - I'll keep my fingers crossed just for that extra push for feeling good!
Thanks, K...I was just looking at the countdown and I thought we needed to finish our books for this event by tomorrow but it looks like it is Sunday morning (4 am CST). Is that correct?
Sounds about right! here's a link to the COUNTDOWN which is saying about 2 days and 13 hours at the moment...
Mod
Shame about your phone!! But at least you have something you can use!
Mod
Glad to hear you're feeling better and the meds are working, Karen! :-)
Hey girls, just checking in. Sorry I haven't been reading much, I'm literally up at 430 going to the gym, then starting work at 730. I'm exhausted when I get home. I don't gabs the energy to really read and just been feeling tired all day long. I'm home now, but my eyes are drooping. I'm going to attempt to get this historic book read.
Mod
And now that song is stuck in my head ;-)
T!!! Why on EARTH are you up in the middle of the night every day?!?
Mod
G'night!
I finished
... on my phone, can someone put it on the spreadsheet as banked? It's also on my wobble shelf. Thanks!

Thanks!
Mod
seems to be self-published. In the book description it says that the book has been published by the author (published by Mary Frame), so I'm guessing that means it's self-published.Do we have possibilities to build off of that? I'm reading the book one way or another for a different challenge.
Mod
You’ve been walking for hours and the ground at your feet is beginning to look exactly like the swamp you just left. You keep walking and yes, you recognize that stump and that tree over there. Maybe it’s time to start bringing a map on these quests.
◈ Read a book that has a map in its pages
Points: 10

I have a couple possibilities for map book but they are not terribly short...
Currently working on two books - 1 for RITA award (Him) and then the other for Bonus Relay #25 (You Were Here)...
and a shorty lined up for Bonus Relay #31 (nonfiction) if we can get the last 2 books lined up
I found 2 short Kindle freebies that will work for Bonus #31:
(107 pages)then
(247 pages)If this looks good, I will get started on the first one :)
Mod
Maybe someone else will chime in for the last book so you don't have to do both, but if not, go right ahead!! :-)

Mod
The rest of us will remain behind and read a little hehe.
With so many of you having lovely plans this weekend (I'm starting to be jealous haha), it seems like a good thing that the end of Labors has been postponed for a week. No rushing for new rules, new tasks etc.
So you can all go off this weekend, enjoy your real life events and not worry about a thing! :-)
The only assignment is just to whip up another 5-book relay (or 2) so we know what to read in your absence. *snickers*

All the correct way, with one plural for "pinpricks" (a word I think I always see used in plural?) but plurals have always been accepted for these kinds of things in previous events for this challenge, so I'm going to go add it all to the spreadsheet now and request a new bonus.
