BONUS ROUND
Event 3 - Book into the Distance

Things to remember for the bonus round of this event is the following:

- We can go through the whole event again twice (let's stick with heat 2 and heat 3 since that worked for the other events).
- Rounds and books do not need to be read in order but we need to finish all four rounds of heat 2 before any books read for heat 3 can count.
- All books for a round need to be finished for us to get any points in that round.
- You can only read once per round.

This means, for example for Round 2, that we need to read a book with "iron" in the title, with a full arm on the cover and a book with page count of 251-400p. If one of these three books has not been finished (or there was no book read for a task at all), then we will not get any points for that round.

So, when we start putting in books for Event 3, let's make sure we have a book for ALL the tasks in that round.

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments Do the books have to be started from today E or can we use others we've banked?
I assume it's today but thought I'd check lol


message 2824: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13759 comments Mod
No bonus books can be started until the bonus rounds have been opened up. So no, banked books cannot be used.

Which is why they're banked for wheel-a-thon :-)


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Added to shelf.

I'm on my way to bed. Stayed up reading late.

;) totally a euphemism.

Jessica | 296 comments Thinking of you today Karen! Hope all goes well and your recovery is a speedy one :)


message 2828: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments I've been wanting to do a re-read of all the Harry Potter books. So I thought that I could use Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for book into the distance bonus round one. Sound good?


message 2829: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13759 comments Mod
If you have an edition that is less than 250 pages, go for it, Jessica!!

I started rereading them last summer, one every couple of months, basically. I might pick up book 6 for wheel-a-ton since it's character heavy ;-)


message 2830: by Jessica (last edited Jul 14, 2016 08:10AM) (new)

Jessica | 296 comments Can I use it for Stone in the title?

If not, I do have the illustrated version that is 246 pages


message 2831: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13759 comments Mod
Oh gosh, Stone, yes, that would have been much simpler lol. Never mind me!! ;-)
I'll put you in for that task.

And illustrated probably wouldn't work, no.

What is this?!!?

I go out for an evening and there is NO chatter at all? Tsk tsk! You better hope that means you're reading!! ;-)

Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments I'm on my way to sleep. I'm going to change my page jumping book to something else. It's too emotional to read right now.

I'm currently reading The Chimera (Bound Gods, #1) by Adrienne Wilder , it for book into the distance arm task.

Also reading reading my arm task for round one.

I'll find another Page Jumping tomorrow.

That is a seriously veiny arm!
No stress on the page jumping book, Tamika! If it doesn't work, it doesn't work :-) And we still got a week left!!

Sleep tight :-)

I'm a huge Sarah J Maas fan and think you need to give assassins another book try... so what do I know???? :D

There is a little bit of an effort to get into the story to begin with but then it really takes off IMO and makes it all worthwhile!


message 2848: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments My niece (a college student) passed up a day at the beach with her friends to stay home and read the book Jessica is reading right now.

LOL!

She was concerned she was weird. Course, I told her I thought that sounded completely normal. Maybe she should get a second opinion.
