VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments I'm the same as ST throw out a word and as long as it's not something like "haemoglobin" then I'm sure I'll find one in my pile

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments I think I was able to figure out where to put my shorter books that I'll be reading. That's all we're putting in the spreadsheet for now, right?

Oh btw, I'm calling dibs on the book that has IRON in the title for Event 3: Book in to the Distance! ;-)

I really want to read Heart of Iron (London Steampunk, #2) by Bec McMaster .

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I hope other people are in there piecing titles together too!

I am definitely open to reading other books too that are not specifically on my TBR...

Mmhh, we're only putting in books that we can use for the Title Relay, things we can easily link together with a title someone else might be reading.


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments How long do we have? I'm finished with my historical book. Halfway through my YA as well.

Countdown to End of Battleship


As of now, you have a little over a day left. 25 hours and a few minutes.


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Shoot, I thought it ended today.

I gotta see what other bonuses I can read.

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments BTW Karen - I found a home for your lonely unclaimed book at E4 and am reading another one to fit Task-2.


Does anyone else have any un-tasked books? I can see if I have a book for the 2nd task slot if so...

There's at least one fantasy still open if you want to go for that one.

Murder Most Yowl by Quinn Dressler , I read it yesterday but couldn't find out where to put it. I didn't even tag it. If you do let me know.

Sure. I might start the second Mercy Thompson book then.

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments I'm just double checking on spelling of some words.
E I know me and you spell things like Colour and Favourite properly *cough* but others seem to miss out the U!!!

Just checking to see if Color/Colour would match together

We could always try and get it paired with Karen's book? I'm not sure anymore what misses we had over the two weeks but there might be something.


message 1672: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments I might have completely missed it, but I didn't see where it said how long we have for each heat? or how long for all Olymics?

I finished a fantasy this morning as bonus, since I thought we had filled it already, cant you just put that one in the unfinished Fantasy spot?

We have three weeks for the complete Olympics challenge.

As for the rest... we do it at our ow pace. Which means getting Heat 1 done as quickly as possible and then dividing up the rest and get it all done within the three week time frame.

That was meant to be a bonus spot, sorry.
I understood what I meant :-/
I.E. there is still one fantasy task for which Tamika hasn't read yet, so she could pick up a bonus book for that one.

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Well, I'm glad this starts on a holiday weekend for me because I will have 3 days to just read away :D

Tamika's book doesn't work for top Scotland names but it DOES have an author with double letters in both the first & the last name. (Spot: J-3)

I'm about 60% done with Slip of the Tongue to pair with Karen's - which would leave me plenty of time to read With Malice by Eileen Cook... who just so happens has double letters too! :D

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments The Color/Colour thing has been okay'd


message 1680: by K~Terror (last edited Jun 30, 2016 02:32PM) (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments PS - I've read all the books I can read for our "HIT" spots so if I don't read for these misses, I'm not sure I would have anything else to read... which would be weird and oh so wrong.
:P

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments Whoop we're movin and groovin, I should be finished my 2 by end of play tomorrow


message 1682: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13737 comments Mod
Awesome, K and V!! :-)

And now I'm off to bed. And with all this, I still haven't finished my book. So it's safe to say that I'm only going to finish my mystery. Unless by some miracle tomorrow I'll have lots of reading time at work (yeah right..).

G'night, ladies!

I was seriously starting to get concerned I couldn't read anything... LOL!

I've been looking through my 1-word titles to see if I could read some of those for no reason and no points... *gasp*


message 1685: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments No reason BWAHAHAHA, who would just read a book for fun?????
