Lol. I should start referring to myself as Tamika "Living Legend".


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Do we know the results of our reading sprints?


message 2958: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments You so should! !!

Nothing on the sprints yet, I assume they'll maybe let us know on the last day or just before Wheelathon starts

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Funny I was just checking the sprints too. Poo!

It has been quiet.

ST - I'm sort of at a loss when I can read ANYTHING!!! I think I've picked one out only to change my mind for another one. Like 10x.

Shall we just call you TLL for short, Tamika-Living-Legend? ;)


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Have you guys read Fast Connection (Cyberlove #2) by Megan Erickson yet? If not get on it!!

Lol. I'll take TLL!

Jessica | 296 comments T - I was going to ask you what you thought of it. I want more of Garrett and Kai. I don't know how I feel about Costigan being the MC in this one.

I actually loved it. Trust me Costigan will grow on you. I was really hesitant. Garrett & Kai make a small cameo. They have a extra sort at the end. I think you'll love it.

I was out for the count last night thanks to a headache - bloody humid hot weather :-( We don't usually go over 30°c, so whenever we do, my body (or rather my head) often is like "nope, me not want" and that's that. Today will be even hotter, eurgh, but oh well, I'll deal!

Aaaanyway, I'm assuming the same thing K does as far as the sprints are concerned. We'll know some time just before the end of Olympics. There might well be a team out there who hasn't completed one or the other round yet, so we have to wait until everyone is done before the points can be calculated.

Tamika the Living Legend - I like!! You should totally put that as your name ;-)

Aand yes, mods have just updated the captains, so I'll let you guys know as well:

They are still waiting on submissions for mostly the last set of the sprints (i.e. the 6 hour one) from several teams.

They are checking the rest of the rounds and we'll know more once the rest of the submissions have trickled in.

LaurLa | 2387 comments Added a book to the bank...

Witness in Death (In Death, #10) by J.D. Robb


message 2969: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments Completed Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for book into the distance bonus.

I promise I won't start the next one until my last two bonus books are completed. I should have known better, every time I start this series I don't want to read anything else until it is completed :)


message 2970: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13759 comments Mod
Thanks, Jessica, we are relieved to hear that hehe. But yeah, I know the problem with such series ;-)

The end is near!!

No worries, Abbie! :-)


message 2972: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks FYI, everything should be updated on my side. I just snuck on at work and added everything.

Eldarwen | 13759 comments Mod
Looks all good, Abbie!

Thanks! :-)

You're all doing amazing!!!



Don't forget to put your books onto your wobble shelf.

I am now off to bed now :-) G'night Sabertooths! Please keep the snarling to a minimum, I prefer not to be woken up. I need my beauty sleep after all :-p

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments WHOOP WHOPP WHEELATHON !!!!!!!!!!!

I have put a new page on our team SS so that we can grab spots when the word has been called.

Letter wise I have also spent WAAAAYYYYYY too much time checking each letter lol.

As we are a team near the top, we are in the A section, meaning we have the longer words and harder letters.

I have listed all of the words and letters on the SS


message 2977: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks ok, my last Olympic book is completed...bring on the Wheel!


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments I cannot look at that SS. Honestly, my brain hurts!!!

I'll just follow the lead where you guys go.


message 2979: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Yay !!


message 2980: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Haha sorry T

I feel like I have a hangover and haven't drank anything at all.

All those damn directions was to much.

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments Oh, so glad you're all confused...I thought it was my pain meds!


message 2983: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments lol just fill in the page you've been filling in and we can transfer them over


message 2984: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13759 comments Mod
Haha, don't worry too much about the confusing planning spreadsheet!

The main thing is that you understand the rules, the rest will follow easily enough!

Are the rules clear to everyone? Or do you need us to clarify something?


message 2985: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks ...ummm Read....???


message 2986: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13759 comments Mod
Yes, reading would be a major part of it, unless of course you want to substitute the actual reading with staring very hard at the book for 12 hours straight.

It was 12 hours, right?
I'm pretty sure someone around here could clarify those rules, I may not remember them correctly anymore.


message 2987: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments Added Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to banked books. I know I said I wouldn't go to the next one, but it was an audio. My last Olympic book is a hard back from the library; can't read that while I'm working :)

I should have my last Olympic book completed by tonight.


message 2988: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks I say let's just stick with the sword we get....seems like a hassle to change words...and what's the point really? My opinion....

Also, what if we don't like any of the words? Can we just skip them all... Our words are like 100 letters wrong...the example word is 3...I like that word better.


message 2989: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks I also hate auto correct...


message 2990: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Are you in the Jim Dale or Stephen Fry gang Jessica?


message 2991: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments Haha Abbie ??????


message 2992: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13759 comments Mod
Lol Abbie!

Wouldn't skipping be nice! ;-)


message 2993: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 296 comments While I do absolutely LOVE Stephen Fry (he is the narrator on my audio of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), my first Harry Potter was narrated by Jim Dale and I just can't imagine hearing anyone else perform it. His Professor McGonagall is perfection!


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments I don't understand the rules. Please explain.

P.s. I didn't read them


message 2995: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13759 comments Mod


I love you too, T ;-)


message 2996: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5108 comments noooooo Fry all the way for me, Jim Dale's voice just grates on my nerves, my little boy loves him though and can't stand Fry lol.

My claim to fame....ish..my friend's nan lives in Rothwell (where he is from) and used to babysit Jim Dale when he was a kid !!!

Turn it up please!

I'm highly agitated.


message 3000: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks we do get a new word once a week, right? Or do we keep the same word throughout? I am just confused about the bonus, as normal wheel a thon, we get a new word each week.
