I've gotten rid of some of my older ones to, Karen! The reading has been so quick I've just been grabbing something I have before looking for something new when possible!

Definitely one of the creepiest books I have ever read!
Finished The Surgeon & What We Saw today, I need something light and fluffy, my emotions are all over the place, What We Saw is a hard read, especially as it's based on a true story....wow

I have a short-ish book with Gold in the title. I'll read it today. I'll have to find some other challenges it fits for... can't read for just one, you know!
I'm thinking it may be time to use one of our 4 Milon bonuses for this round? what do you guys think?
Here are our choicesEach bonus may only be chosen once.
A) 1 free book from travel agent
B) Lower bonus level by 1 (request from mod)
C) Request re-spin (request from mod)
D) Use a different language title than read for the letter
E) Use last letter of word instead of first
F) Change color of one color task
G) Change task of one color task
H) Use a different cover than the edition read
I) Use a text color in the place of an item on cover
J) Use an item on cover in place of color in title
K) Replace 1 letter with one of your choice
L) Use a book twice in the same word
M) Use a book a different team has read
N) Use a book of less than 100 pages
O) Get all new Color bonuses (request from mod)
P) Spin for a new word without completing the color bonus (request from mod)
Q) Use an author's middle name/initial
Brown in title is HARD, out of my twelvety million books I have exactly none that have brown in the title lol
Is there one where we get rid of color bonuses altogether?! Just thought I'd ask... :)
I think the harder ones are where you have to have the word in the title. We need all "find the text in the book" ones!!
Or maybe we should respin? Then we may get a chance for an extinct team word since we want new color bonuses anyway?
So we now have 2 GOLD color in title books...maybe we could just finish out this word...but only do it once??I have another Gold and Brown in title book...

I like that idea... only because I don't want to have wasted that read this morning ;-) But, really, I'm good with whatever...
sounds good to me, it does mean that we'll have an extra colour though after we've rolled for another word

It's on Saturdays so it's another week to wait, and we are on 6 now so we would stay at 6 if we rolled again then
I think I have some gold and brown titles. Does tan count as brown? In my world it does but sometimes my world is a bit off...

Check tinyeye, since that's the tool to go by.. Maaaybe it'll give you a clear answer on that.
Sometimes I think tan looks brown, sometimes I think it doesn't. Not the easiest shade to decide on hehe.

A respin should be a complete respin. So word and colours. But don't quote me on it.

Before we make a final decision on what to do with the bonus, here are 2 things to consider:
1. We have finished the boast 4 times, which means we have 4 bonus at our disposal to use whenever we feel like it.
2. Wheel-a-Thon is a 4 week event and we just started our 4th week. Friday will be the cut-off date, if everything continues to go the way it has up until now. (Captains don't have details yet but will probably get them in the next couple of days and then countdowns will be posted, too.)

Some of those will definitely work for gold text on cover!
(Though that we actually have with ST's book already.)

I say we complete the word once since I think we're pretty close to it anyway then spin for a new word. Even though we'll get another color task, maybe it'll be a better mix and not 3 of the same word in the title... and if it's just as bad, then we start using up the bonuses?
