Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments Thanks. Really appreciate everyone filling in when I couldn't get all my reading done.


message 3102: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments I've definitely been gravitating towards my shorter books. Although I have to say I read a Rachel Abbot book earlier this week and want to read another... It's not 1000 pages but it's 14-15 hour audio.

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Glad you are on a good path to wellsville, Karen!


message 3104: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments grr that's the only thing with audios, they may only be 250-300 pages but they still take 10 hours to read


message 3105: by Karen ♐ (new)

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments I have an audio I'm trying to get through. It's 600+ pgs and when I looked, it's 23 hrs...lol

Thanks, K...

You are absolutely right. It's Bounty (Colorado Mountain, #7) by Kristen Ashley

I got a good report again today. Yay!

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments HaHa! Hilarious it's Kristen Ashley! Her books are actually ones I can increase the speed to 3x and not miss any content.

I have it at 1.5 but I'm going to increase to 2 at least...lol. Have you read this one. It seems kind of slow so far.


message 3112: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments Lol how did I know it was one of hers !!!

They are always so long, 20 hours are usually telling you about what she is wearing, the rest is a quick fumble, a couple of fights, 300 or so Babe's and Honey's, usually some sort of kidnapping and then a happily ever after.


message 3113: by LaurLa (new)

LaurLa | 2386 comments Are we keeping the same word? If we finish a book, should we just put it on the bank SS and let captains place them where they need them?

I love listening to them while I'm working because I don't have to pay strict attention. It will take a while for something to happen...lol


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Hi guys. I'm emotionally devastated by Shameless. I had to take a break. My tears are over with.

I finished Resistance by Lillian Francis . About to start Time Lost (Out of Time, #2) by C.B. Lewis . Works for bonus as well.


message 3116: by Karen ♐ (new)

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments I finished Master Baiter: Love Knows No Age. Banking it.

Just work on anything for Harry Potter until they say otherwise. It's what I'm doing!


message 3119: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments V!!!!!

You were right (again)....I absolutely loved You Know Me Well by Nina LaCour


message 3120: by Eldarwen (new)

Eldarwen | 13759 comments Mod
Yeah just read whatever.

Since we get colour bonus and completion bonus every time we complete the word, there's no use in stressing over a new word right away.

We'll spin for a new word some time next week, probably, to see if maybe we can get a word that is another extinct team so we can snag that 100 bonus.

But for now, stick with Harry Potter and just read whatever you feel like that fits for those letters! :-)

Eldarwen | 13759 comments Mod
Please Note

Let us know whenever you find the word "blue" within the text of a book! That way the captains don't have to hunt for it in every book we have in the bank and it'll help us when filling up the spell-outs.

Thanks!

I think V nailed it!! I ended up liking it but it did take me longer to get into that story. My favorite series of hers is the 'burbs - which is based on LaurLa's home town. :)

G'night girlies!

I'm about 40 minutes too late because I was sitting at my hairdresser's for a lovely hairdo for the wedding I'm attending later today, buuuuut....

WHEEL-A-THON HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED

Enjoy! :-)


message 3127: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments Glad you liked it ST I thought you would

And WHOOP!!!


message 3128: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks Um...ok....

Well I Need some sort of visual, So I will just start spelling it out myself with what I read.
So when you all decided we are getting ready to switch letters, let me know, and I will post my "example".
Or if I complete a full spelling I will post it.

I will still add my completed Books with everything that works, but I really have tons of trouble adding to the spreadsheet...sorry.

Since page # dont matter, I am just going to go through my TBR, and read all of these freebies I dont loaded and never read...hoping for a few gems in there, as I dont want to read a ton of bad books.

I have a super busy next few days, so IF we change plans/words, if someone could pm me beforehand that would be great, so I dont miss it.

Thanks,
And sorry for the inconvenience...I will just try to read my little heart out for you all!


message 3129: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments Sorry Abbie

If you go onto the team SS you'll see what we have and what we need, currently I'm transferring all of our banked books over so that I can see where they fit.
The WHEELATHON CALLED WORDS tab is the one I'm using to put all of our books.

We currently have enough (I think) to spell us out twice (maybe 3)

On the Template tab you'll see a list of the letters that we have the most of in the wheels.

I think that if you speedios could read the ones that we have *less* of and the slower readers concentrate on the ones with more

Eg we need lots of vowel letters but not so many Q's so we can bank them and keep them for when we need them

Does that make sense?


message 3130: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments Don't worry about the SS as I'm going through a couple of times a day and adding them over anyway so hopefully we can grab any that have been missed


message 3131: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments PS I'll put at the top of the banked books tab what letters are currently needed


message 3132: by Snowtulip (last edited Jul 23, 2016 08:26AM) (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments So, I'm trying to catch up on reading some other challenge books that didn't work for Olympics

BUT

I have no problem starting a new book for a letter we need to complete a word....so just let me know if we need anything in particular and I can change course...I have books to match all the letters.

Basically I can pinch hit when needed :)


message 3133: by K~Terror (new)

K~Terror (k-terror) | 5600 comments Have fun at the wedding E!


message 3134: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments So currently we need A, Y, O & R books please, they are always handy anyway so even if we have loads we will use them


message 3135: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments LaurLa you have No Promises Required on the banked books but I don't think it's on your wobble shelf, would you mind double checking for me please lovely?

Karen ♐ (kmk1214) | 1866 comments V, do we need to ignore A, An, The from the title?


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments I'm reading Adulting 101 by Lisa Henry after my current read.


message 3140: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments You can either ignore it or use it Karen so either way it's good ;○)

K your book was already there lol,
I just change the members into alphabetical order so I can see each members together, if it messes people up I can stop doing it

message 3142: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5107 comments to get another spell out we will need an O if anyone has one, or if your books on the SS already have an O character?
